ANDREWS Northern CHERRIES 

RED-FLESHED CHERRY 
(Also known as Sapa 
Since its introduction a number of years ago by Prof. N. E. Hansen, this cherry 
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 eating out of hand. 
It is a large sized hybrid cherry with a small pit. It is purple-red outside and wine-red 
inside, thin skinned and has a delicious flavor. 
Fruits at 2 Years Old. This outstanding variety forms fruit buds on one-year-old 
wood. Thus it is that it bears the next year after planting in the orchard—it is this 
reason that makes it a good annual fruiter. 
Hardy—Easy to Grow. Extremely hardy, it thrives over a wide range. It is best 
practice to grow this variety as a large bush and keep them pruned more severely 
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 pollinizers listed below. 


Giant Red-Fleshed Cherry 
Hansen’s Improved Bush Cherry 
' OKA CHERRY This is another hybrid cherry recently intro- 
duced by Professor Hansen. It should be 
grown in bush form as suggested for Red Flesh. The fruit is a rich 
purple-red color both outside and inside, a delicious flavor and the 
tree is immensely productive. It produces fruit buds the second season. 
It is about a week earlier than the Giant Red Flesh. 
POLLINIZER CHERRIES 
COMPASS Has proven to be a satisfactory pollinizer for Sapa 
and Oka cherries. It is a very hardy tree and thrives 
in nearly any 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 1 Compass to 8 or 10 Sapa 
or Oka. 
OPATA A pollinizer cherry and, incidentally, is a very good cherry 
plum to eat out of hand, but not as good for canning. 
We recommend it to be used for Sapa and Oka as a pollinizer. 
PROF. HANSEN’S IMPROVED 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 
important, they are effective pollinizers for Sapa and Oka. 
DELICIOUS JAM RECIPE 
Cover plums or cherries with water, add 11/4 teaspoons soda, boil 
till skins break, drain through colander, remove pits. Add sugar 
pound for pound. To a moderate sized kettleful, add one table- 
spoonful of vinegar, boil until thick. Put in jars and seal.

Health 
Almost 40 per cent 
of the boys examined 
for Selective Service 
have been rejected be- 
cause of malnutrition. 
The records show that 
there is even more mal- 
nutrition in rural dis- 
tricts than in town! 
That is why there is a 
national campaign on 
urging us to eat more 
fruit. 
Those who grow 
their own can afford 
to enjoy more fruit. 
A good fruit planting, 
including some of these 
northern cherries, will 
provide an abundance 
of Vitamins A, C and 
G. Plant fruit trees 
this spring for Defense 
of Health.
