Cherries 
Made Better Ay “Rud-Selectian” 
From the hundreds of varieties of Cherries 
grown and sold in the United States we have care- 
fully selected the best and further improved them 
through bud selection to retain every good feature 
and assure heavy crops. Cherries ask no favors in 
location or handling, provide crop diversification, 
bear almost annually and keep profits flowing 
your way.

paratively slow growing when young but make a large,

The Montmorency Cherry variety is transi- 
tional. Variations are found in every one of its 
important characteristics including type and 
growth of trees, twigs and leaves, length of stems, 
production, time of ripening and size as well as 
shape and color of fruits. Through bud selection 
we are able to bring out the best in the variety. 
Greening’s Super-Selected Montmorency Fern- 
wood Strain is the leading commercial Sour 
Cherry and it has proved its value in the many 
orchards in which it is now in production. 
Leading growers everywhere are demanding 
our Fernwood Strain Montmorency. The trees 
are vigorous and strong growing, making a large 
tree quickly, thus coming into profitable produc- 
tion at an early age. The trees are more uniform 
in shape and size, produce more fruit which is 
more uniform in ripening and from 15 to 20 per 
cent larger in size than fruit from check trees 
of ordinary Montmorency which were produced 
by the old propagation methods. Season end 
of June.
