“Greening Bud-Selected” 
SWEET CHERRIES 
Sweet Cherry trees supplied the public by many nurseries 
have not been true to name. We established this fact by check- 
ing orchards in the Sweet Cherry belt of northern Michigan 
and consulted experienced growers who cooperated with us in 
making our selections. The only variation in Sweet Cherries 
of commercial importance is unproductive strains. We selected 
buds from parent trees producing heavy crops. In the listing 
below you will fmd those varieties which have been proven 
the best commercially, and in each ‘‘Bud-Selection’” has 
emphasized their feature characteristics.
