WESTERN CHOKECHERRY (Prunus melano- 
carpa). Larger and sweeter than the eastern 
chokecherry. A tremendous bearer. One of 
ey our very hardiest natives, useful as an orna-

yearly. 3 to 4 ft., each, 40c; 10, $3.70.

HYBRID CHERRIES All that we have this season 
COMPASS. The oldest and best known of the sand cherry hybrids. Ripens late 
July or August. Fruit bright red when mature, nearly an inch long, oval, pleas- 
ant to eat fresh; unrivalled for sauce, jelly or jam. Hardy throughout the whole 
Northwest. 3 to 4 ft., each, $1.00. 
OKA. Another Hansen fruit. A fine large 
cherry, borne on a tree instead of a bush. 
Quite variable in performance, depending on 
local conditions. At its best it is perhaps the 
finest of the type. The fruit is very large for 
a cherry, a rich purple in color, skin thin, 
flesh red, delicious flavor. Fruit hangs to tree 
and cures there like a dried prune. 8 to 4 
ft., each, $1.00.
