This photograph is of one of our Cherry 
orchards. 9 years old. Has been in heavy 
bearing for 8 years. 
MORDENA CHERRY 
Originated at Morden Experiment Station, 
Manitoba, Canada. The tree is extremely 
hardy and very fruitful. Mr. Chipman of 
Winnipeg writes: “After two of the severest 
winters on record in the Winnipeg district, 
the two Mordena trees were loaded with fruit 
to the topmost branches, 8 feet in the air. 
It is a few days earlier to ripen and very much 
hardier than Compass. Mordena is very good 
for eating out of hand and really excellent for 
all cooking purposes.” Prices, page 29-H. 
Starred Varieties (***) 
Originated by Minnesota Fruit 
Breeding Farm 
SAPA Cherry— 
Red Flesh 
Since its introduction a number of 
years ago by Prof. N. E. Hansen, Sapa 
has become very widely planted. The 
fruit finds ready sale on account of its 
splendid quality which is unexcelled for 
canning, for sauce and pies and for eat¬ 
ing out of hand. Sapa is a large sized 
hybrid Cherry with a small pit. It is 
purple'red outside and wine-red inside, 
thin skinned and delicious flavor. 
Fruits at 2 Years Old. The Sapa forms 
fruit buds on one'year'old wood. Thus 
it is that Sapa can bear the next year 
after planting in the orchard—it is this 
reason that makes it a good annual 
fruiter. 
Hardy—Easy to Grow. Sapa is very 
hardy and thrives over a wide range. It 
is best practice to grow Sapa as a large 
bush and keep them pruned more se' 
verely than most fruit trees. Cut out the 
older growth and encourage growth of 
new shoots that will set fruit regularly 
and heavily. Include some of the pob 
linizers listed below. Prices, page 29-H. 
OKA CHERRY 
This is another hybrid Cherry recently 
introduced by Professor Hansen. It 
should be grown in bush form as sug' 
gested for Sapa. The fruit is a rich 
purple'red color both outside and inside, 
a delicious flavor and the tree is im' 
mensely productive. It produces fruit 
buds the second season and fruits regU' 
larly. It is about a week earlier than 
Sapa. Prices, page 29-H. 
Hansen’s Improved Bush Cherry 
POLLINIZER CHERRIES 
COMPASS 
Has proven to be a most satisfactory pollinizer for Sapa and Oka Cherries. 
It is a very hardy tree and thrives in nearly any sort of location. The fruit 
is especially good for jams, jellies and for canning. Compass is an early 
fruiter, bearing the second year. It is indispensable as a pollinizer for Sapa 
and Oka. Plant a Compass in every group and in large plantings at least 
1 Compass to 8 or 10 Sapa or Oka. Prices, Page 29-H. 
OP AT A 
Proving to be an excellent pollinizer for Sapa and Oka and, incidentally, 
is a very good Cherry Plum to eat out of hand, but not as good for canning. 
We recommend it be used with Sapa and Oka as a pollinizer. Prices, 
page 29-H. 
PROF. HANSEN'S BUSH CHERRY 
Prof. Hansen’s improved Bush Cherries are recommended as pollinizers 
for the other Cherries listed above. They are easy to grow. The fruit 
makes good preserves. They bear early, heavily and annually, and, most 
important, they are effective pollinizers for Sapa and Oka. Prices, page 
29-H.
