best shippers—arrived in perfect shape after

Giant a favorite of the Home and Market 
growers. Tree is hardy. A young bearer.

sweet cherries. Bears heavily, the fruit is 
just as you represent it in size and quality.

with other sweets. Fruit does not crack.’— 
Francis E. Thompson, N. Y.

eating fresh, cannifig, quick freezing, drying, preserving, the 
Cherry is one of America’s most popular fruits for Home 
Yards, gardens, small orchards as well as Commercial Or- 
chards. Its riot of beautiful blooms in early Spring makes 
the Cherry Tree popular as an Ornamental Tree for Yards.

Burbank’s Black Giant. Dark purplish-red, 
turning almost jet black when ripe. Skin 
glossy—tough enough to insure good -ship-

preme quality. Our propagation is from a 
Parent tree which bore every year through a 
long period—and showed a marked improve- 
ment in hardiness and regular heavy bearing.

and vigor—producing crops after 24 degrees 
below zero. ‘
