NEW KOREAN 
BUSH CHERRY 
(Prunus Japonica) 
An Absolutely New Thing in Bush Cherries Offered for the 
First Time Three Years Ago 
The Sweet Bush Cherries are Essentially for the Drier and Colder 
Sections of the United States and Western Canada. 
The Korean Bush Cherry 
We believe will fit into the gardens of this country wherever 
Cherries of any kind will grow. 
The Wild Bush Cherry of Korea was brought to the United States 
and bred up over a period of many years, from the best of thousands 
and thousands of seedlings selected and re-selected, until we now 
have a new Cherry that grows on a bush 217 to 3 feet high that is 
almost indistinguishable in appearance from the bush of the flower- 
ing Almond, and which bears a Cherry that is as large and looks 
almost exactly like the Early Richmond Cherry. This new Korean 
Cherry is of fine quality and we believe will be planted in large fields 
and grown as a commercial proposition just as soon as sufficient stock 
is grown to make it available for such purposes. 
A New Minnesota Fruit Farm Fruit 
All this work has been done by the Minnesota Fruit Breeding 
Station and the men of the Station no longer have any doubt as 
to its value. 
The Bush 
The bush looks just like a nice, neat, up- 
right grown flowering Almond bush. It 
makes a very desirable shrub for planting 
about the house. Leaves medium dark 
green, turning to bright colors with frost 
and remaining on late in the fall. 
The Fruit is a Surprise 
The fruit varies with different varieties 
from a bright red like that of the Early 
Richmond Cherry to a brownish red like 
that of Montmorency. Some kinds are 
round and about a half inch in diameter 
vies ee ue average up in size and 
shape with the Early Richmond Cherry. 
The Cherry In fact, we believe the two could be aed 
and unless told, one would not notice the 
for the Rack Yard difference in pie 
The tree Cherries grow into immense large trees, take up 
lots of room. The fruit is away up and hard to pick. To 
pick one must climb ladders and it is real hard work. 

New Korean Bush Cherry 
(The Cherries here as pictured are just about 2 actual size) 

These bushes are no larger than a good sized Currant 
bush. The fruit is all close to the ground and is easy to 
pick. A half-dozen bushes will give a nice crop of Cherries. 
Some varieties are excellent to eat from the hand while 
others are better for jelly, jam, and for canning, as the 
fruit is rather tart. This spring we have stock in numbers 
20 and 57, both of which fall into the latter class, but still 
they are fair to eat from the bush. No. 20 is a bright red 
like the Early Richmond, while No. 57 is a dark maroon- 
ish red. 
To be sure of fertilization, the two varieties should be 
planted together. We have twice as many plants of No. 20 
as of No. 57, and we have decided to sell these Cherries 
this spring in lots of three, including one of No. 57 and 
two of No. 20, or multiples thereof. 
These Cherries, planted in 1945 and well cared for, will 
be in full bearing in 1946. There will be plenty of sugar 
by that time.
