The Montmorency Cherry variety is transi- 
tional. Variations are found in every one of its 
important characteristics including type and 
growth of trees, twigs and leaves, length of stems, 
production, time of ripening and size as well as 
shape and color of fruits. Through bud selection 
we are able to bring out the best in the variety. 
Greening’s Super-Selected Montmorency Fern- 
wood Strain is the leading commercial Sour 

Cherry and it has proved its value in the many 
orchards in which it is now in production. 
Leading growers everywhere are demanding 
our Fernwood Strain Montmorency. The trees 
are vigorous and strong growing, making a large 
tree quickly, thus coming into profitable produc- 
tion at an early age. The trees are more uniform 
in shape and size, produce more fruit which is 
more uniform in ripening and from 15 to 20 per 
cent larger in size than fruit from check trees 
of ordinary Montmorency which were produced 
by the old propagation methods. Season end 
of June. 



Greening of exceptional merit, giving growers 
the profit advantages of a Montmorency Cherry

First observations were made June 30, 1931. 
Progeny test trees were planted at the Graham 
Experiment Station, Grand Rapids, in 1933 and 
fruited in 1936 and 1937, reproducing a true 
Montmorency but maintaining the early ripening 
characteristics of the original sports. Trees in 
quantities of this variety—proven, pedigreed 
stock, are now available for commercial plantings,
