ANDREWS Northern CHERRIES 

RED-FLESHED CHERRY 
(Also known as Sapa) 
(Illustrated on Front Cover.) 
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. 

EAT MORE FRUIT 
OPATA 
for BETTER HEALTH 
The Opata, another creation of Dr. N. E. Hansen, is the com- 
panion tree for the Giant Red Flesh Cherry. Almost as large, it has 
a reddish blue skin and attractive green flesh. The Opata, although 
not as gogd for canning, is exceptionally nice for eating out of hand, 
possessing a mild, bland flavor. 
The tree is very hardy and is a heavy fruiter. Allowed to grow 
in bush form all the fruit is easily picked from the ground. Be sure 
to include some Opata in your Cherry orchard this year. 
POLLINIZER CHERRIES 
COMPASS Has proven to be a satisfactory pollinizer for Sapa 
and Opata 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 Opata. 
Plant a Compass in every group and in large plantings at least 
1 Compass to 8 or 10 Sapa or Opata. 
PROF. HANSEN’S IMPROVED BUSH 
CHERRY Prof. Hansen’s improved Bush Cherries are recom- 
mended 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 Opata.

It took a war to show 
us that we were not eat- 
ing correctly. An alarm- 
ing number of boys exam- 
ined for Selective Service 
were found to be suffering 
from malnutrition. That 
is why the government 
has urged us to eat more 
fruit. A good fruit plant- 
ing including some _ of 
these Northern Cherries, 
will provide an abundance 
of Vitamins A, C, and-G, 
Plant fruit trees this spring 
for the Defense of Health.
