SAPA CHERRY 
The Popular Heavy Producing 
Red Flesh Favorite 

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 pol- 
linizers listed below. Prices, page 33-G.

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 
one Compass to 8 or 10 Sapa or Oka. Prices, page 33-G. 
OPATA 
_ 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,

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 
reas they are effective pollinizers for Sapa and Oka. Prices, page 
33-G.
