IMPROVED 
NANKING 
CHERRIES 
When the hardy Nanking Cherries of 
Northern China were first brought to this 
country, the Minnesota and Manitoba Ex- 
periment Stations began improving the 
strains by selection, and we offer budded 
stocks of these choice Minn. and Manitoba 
varieties. Avoid planting seedlings—their 
fruit does not compare with these improved 
varieties which are delicious eaten fresh, or 
in pies and preserves! 
Prof. Alderman of University Farm says. 
“‘They are very hardy, very productive and 
have excellent quality. The bushes are at- 
tractive in spring when they are a mass of 
bloom, and again in July when they are cov- 
ered with ropes of red or yellowish-red fruit. 
The fruits have a true cherry-like flavor and 
are excellent for sauce or jelly-making.’’ 
Fruit is so abundant, it takes but a few 
minutes to pick a quart or two in your own 
yard for fresh cherry pie or sparkling jell. 
Neat, trim, bushes grow 5 to 7 ft. high— 
ideal for lawn planting. Nanking often bears 
the second year and by third season branches 
are loaded with fruit—see color photo—front 
cover. Order two or more,—we select varie- 
ties to insure pollination, Prices below.
