THE BOUGHEN NURSERIES 9 

_ SAPA—Another of Dr. Hansen’s hybrid cherries. Sandcherry, by the red 
fleshed Sultan plum of California; dark red flesh; excellent to eat or pre- 
serve. These Hybrid plums all bloom on last year’s wood. This is barely 
hardy enough for our district, although we have had big crops for some 
years. $1.10 singly; 3 for $3.00. All guaranteed the first year or replaced. 
EZAPTAN— Much like Sapa, hardier. Black fleshed; rather more upright 
and yields a load of good black preserving fruit. Very desirable mid- 
season; starts bearing year after planting. $1.25 each. See bottle of fruit. 
TOM THUMB-—A dwarf bush, red fleshed cherry by Dr. Hansen. Trees 
usually bear fruit the year after planting. Probably the best of the sand- 
cherry hybrids for northern districts as it spreads on the ground. $1.10. 
OKA CHERRY-—A new introducton by Prof. Hansen. Will stick to the 
tree till winter if left alone. Quality very good; sweet, very vigorous 
grower and early fruiter. Discontinued in favor of the New Oka from 
Morden Exp. Station which is much hardier. Sweet dark red-fleshed 
fruit ripens first; early on trees planted last year. It’s one of the best new 
fruits. A sure seller to people who eat the fruit the first time. ' Earliest 
eating fruit. $1.25 each. 
IMPROVED SAPA SEEDLING, MORDEN’S P-4a-18, named DURA— 
Exceptionally good large black fruit, rather late. Very firm, not pretty, 
being black-greenish, but a customer remarked ‘‘When you eat five or six 
of them you know you have had a feed of fruit.’”? Where snow drifts over 
it, a delicious fruit. $1.25 each. 
V. C. CHERRY—We like this. Good fruit and tree, very hardy, fruit 
large, black skin and good in every way. Early yielder. $1.25 each. 
BROOKS CHERRY—Decidedly good. We have planted this largely to 
sell fruit. Fruit black, firm delicious flesh, wonderful. Early. $1.00 each 
NANKING CHERRY-—Chinese Bird Cherry or Prunus Tomentosa— 
A half inch red cherry; ripe in July, of excellent flavor. Short stemmed, 
hiding cherries beneath the cushioned tomentose or’ downy leaves. 
2 to 3 years. 75c. 
DRILEA—A Morden selection of the above, grafted tree. Real good 
fruit. $1.00. Sold out till fall 1944. 
DOUBLE CHINESE FLOWERING PLUM—Chinese Rose Tree 
or Prunus Triloba—AIl the same thing, take your choice of name, but 
it is the showiest thing in Spring, with its beautifully formed rose-like 
bloom in long sprays. Always demanded when seen in bloom. Quite 
hardy. It blooms soon. One of the very best ornamentals. Nice small 
tree aiter blooming. Watch for and destroy suckers coming from the 
plum root. $1.25 each. 
NOTICE—A new thing in pink flower shrubs, received as a seed from 
Manchuria among some Apricot seeds in 1939. In its third year, 1942, 
it was 4 feet high. Rabbits had not touched it, while destroying the 
Apricots touching it, and it was a vivid deep rose mass of bloom up 
every stem. Two weeks earlier than the above, and orders for it were 
given by most all who saw it. It made no seed, so we budded it on plum, 
and expect 1-year trees in fall of 1943. The most striking ornamental 
in prospect for the north. Vigorous to the tip bud. Temporary name 
“Pink Beauty.’”’ 40 trees only. $1.25 each.
