PLUM-CHERRY HYBRIDS 
(Excellent fertilizers for the Oka Cherry) 
People who live in the Middle West from Texas on the 
south, up through Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, 
North Dakota, to Manitoba on the north and adjacent border- 
ing territories, cannot afford to miss planting these Plum-Cherry 
Hybrids. They all do exceedingly well in this territory. They 
are dependable and easily grown. The fruit from all of them 
is equally good for canning and for making jam and jelly. 
COMPASS CHERRY. A very hardy tree and a great bearer that thrives 
in all sorts of locations. If you have failed to grow other Cherries 
try the Compass. The fruit is especially desirable for canning pur- 
poses. It is the best known pollinizer for all the rest of the Plum- 
Cherries. Be sure to plant one Compass to every group using at 
least one to every six of the others. 
MORDENA CHERRY. A new cherry coming to us from the Morden 
Experimental Station, Morden, Manitoba, Canada, which is 500 miles 
north of here. It is surprising to learn that Cherries better than the 
Compass can be grown so far north. The fruit ripens much earlier 
than the Compass and we consider it better. This is just the Cherry 
for the northern line of the United States. Should be grown in- bush 
form. 
MINNESOTA No. 317. A new Plum-Cherry cross from the Minnesota 
Station. Fruit of medium size and of a rich red-purple color. Pit 
small and flavor very fine. A hybrid carrying many Cherry qualities 
with it. Very good. 
PROLIFIC. Several years ago an article appeared in the Country Gen- 
tleman telling of two new very desirable Plum-Cherry hybrids, the 
Prolific and the Ruby. These hybrids both come from midwestern 
Canada and are very fine to plant with the ones we already have to 
insure great crops and a variety in quality. 3-4 ft. bushes only, 75c 
RUBY. This is the other Canadian hybrid which we are offering this 
year. We have long needed a red among these hybrid Cherries. 
We have this in the Ruby. 3-4 ft. bushes only, 75c 
OKA 

Oka Cherries 
OKA CHERRY 
is beginning to be planted by orchardists in large quantities and is proving 
profitable in a commercial way. Large fruit growing on small trees makes 
easy picking. 
OPATA CHERRY. One of § 
Hansen’s earlier Cherries and 
still recognized as one of the 
best. The tree is very thrifty, 
a low spreading grower, 
carrying great loads of good- 
sized, nice tasting, green- 
fleshed, dull red-colored fruit. 
The fruit is splendid to eat and is an excellent canning 
variety. 
SAPA CHERRY. Another wonderful Hansen Cherry. The 
color is purple-red. The meat of the Cherry is also purple- 
red and very juicy. The fruit has a small pit. The trees bear 
fruit abundantly and are now found in northern commercial 
orchards.

GROW IN BUSH FORM 
All of these Plum-Cherries do best and bear more abundantly when 
grown in bush form, Keep them all trimmed by severely cutting out 
the old wood. This causes them to throw many suckers which will 
all bear at two years of age. These Plum-Cherries must be cross- 
fertilized to bear. But they do best where all kinds are planted 
together. For real eating enjoyment, be sure to plant heavily of Oka, 
using others for a fertilizer. 
CHERRY 
From Prof. Hansen, the Plant Wizard 
of South Dakota 


His latest, and we think the best in quality 
of all his hardy Cherries. 
The trees are perfectly hardy in North and South Dakota, Wis- 
consin, Northern Michigan, and all over Minnesota, wherever the 
hardy fruits can be grown. 
They are small, so small in fact, that six or more can be grown in 
a back yard, interfering little with other things. Being a Sand Cherry 
hybrid, it requires some other plum to fertilize its blossoms so that 
it will bear fruit. 
When properly cross-fertilized, the trees will bear heavy crops of 
fruit every year beginning as two-year-olds in the nursery row. 
In the nursery we grow all of these varieties in one block, side 
by side, and they are perfectly cross-fertilized. We do not know just 
which of these varieties cross-fertilize one another, but we do know 
by planting as many as three different varieties that you are sure to 
get proper fertilization. 
The fruit is round, average 114 inches in diameter, is black on 
the outside with a rich, juicy red-purple flesh, that is very sweet. 
All who have had the pleasure of eating this wonderful new Plum- 
Cherry Hybrid are perfectly agreed that it’s the sweetest and finest of 
all hardy Cherries. And by hardy we mean a Cherry that is hardy
