ANDREWS New Nanking Cherries 
IMPROVED SELECTIONS 
The State Fruit Breeding Farms of Minnesota and of Mani- 
toba have again shown their skill in the development of valu- 
able new fruits. These New Nanking Cherries are improved 
selections of the hardy Nanking Cherries of northern China. 
They combine beauty of bloom and foliage and bear loads 
of the most attractive and delicious Cherries. The varieties 
we offer are the most choice numbered or named varieties 
from Minnesota and Manitoba. 
DELICIOUS FRUIT 
The outstanding features about these new Nankings are 
their early bearing and their heavy and regular loads of 
fruit that rivals any Montmorency that ever grew anywhere. 
PROF. LESLIE, Superintendent of the Dominion Experi- 
mental Station at Morden, Canada, says of their new intro- 
duction, Drilea: “Upright, spreading, vigorous, annual bearer, 
fruit round, from 14 to 5% inch across, bright red, flesh firm, 
tender, sweet, sprightly, pit small, season mid-July, quality 
delicious as dessert, canned, jelly or jam.” The Minnesota 
varieties are considered just as heavy bearing and just as high 
quality. 
ORNAMENTAL AS WELL AS FRUITFUL 
PROF. ALDERMAN says of the Minnesota Nanking Se- 
lections: “It can be said of all of them that they are very 
hardy, very productive and have excellent quality. The bushes 
are attractive in the spring when they are a mass of bloom 
and again in July when they are covered with ropes of red 
or yellowish red fruit. The fruits have a true Cherry-like 
flavor and are excellent for sauce or jelly making.” 
PLANT ON LAWN OR IN GARDEN 
Nanking Cherries fit well into any landscape planting or 
they may be planted in the garden or orchard. The bushes 
are neat and trim. They grow to a height of 5 or 6 feet. 
The foliage is clean and attractive, and the wealth of bloom 
would make them valuable on the lawn even if they bore 
no fruit. 
SAVE GROCERY BILLS 
As shown in the photo, Nanking bears loads of Cherries. 
They usually start the second year, by the third year they are 
in heavy production. The fruit ripens in mid-July before most 
tree fruits are available. You will have an abundance of fruit 
for eating out of hand, for canning or for jelly. Plant Nan- 
kings and Cut Your Grocery Bills. 
Plant Several Varieties 
Only Minnesota No. 63 and No. 64 are self fertile. Be sure 
the others are not planted alone as they need to be cross- 
pollinated. 
All varieties offered on this page are selected grafted varie- 
ties propagated on hardy root stocks—and should not be con- 
fused with seedlings. 
Nanking is Dual Purpose—Loads of bloom in spring, 
followed by loads of fruit in July
