ANDREWS Northern CHERRIES

Cherries ey 
A new race of Cherries are 
now offered. They are new hy- 
brids developed by scientific 
crossbreeding and selection. The 
parent trees are the hardy Flow- 
ering Cherries from North China. 
The Minnesota State Fruit Breed- 
ing Farm and the Morden, Mani- 
toba, Station have developed 
strains that not only retain the ornamental features but 
bear delicious fruit. The bushes get to be 5 to 6 feet 
high and are appropriate for the lawn or the garden. 
Prof. Alderman says of the Minnesota introductions: 
“Among the promising selections are Nos. 20, 22 and 
42. It can be said of all of them that they are very 
hardy, very productive and have excellent quality. The 
bushes are attractive in the spring when they are a 
mass of bloom and again in July when they are covered 
with ropes of red or yellowish red fruit. The fruits 
have a true cherry-like flavor and are excellent for sauce 
or jelly making.” We ffoer the following this year: 
Nanking No. 20 
Nanking No. 22 }3-5 ft., 90c each; 3 for $2.50.

You will be thrilled and delighted with these Korean 
Cherries. Even though the bushes grow only about 3 to 
314 feet in height and are distinctly ornamental, they 
carry loads of delicious Cherries, usually bearing at 
2 years old. 

This is one of the surprise introductions from the 
Minnesota Stote Fruit Breeding Farm. Prof. Alderman 
says, “The Cherry-like fruits are similar to the ordinary 
sour Cherry of commerce and can be used for pies and 
sauce in the same way as the ordinary sour Cherry is 
used. They are borne on bushes which grow 3 to LA) 
feet in height and which are quite ornamental at all 
Hi-ses during the summer. They carry a mass of white 
blooms in the early spring; have a fine, delicate foliage; 
and in the latter half of August make a brilliant display 
with their loads of red fruit, or in some cases red over 
yellow.” 
H. J. Rahmlow, secretary of the Wisconsin State 
Horticultural Society, who saw the Korean No. 60 in 
fruiting in our plantings, reported: “The No. 60 is a 
late maturing variety, and the fruit was in good con- 
dition and of good quality the first of September. In 
fact, the fruit was considered equal to sour Cherries and 
perhaps a little sweeter.” 
Korean No. 60, 2-3 ft., 90c each; 2 for $1.75. 
1 Korean seedling pollinizer included with each order 
at no charge.
