HARDY CHERRIES 
(Add 10% if to go by mail.) 
You don’t need an orchard to grow cherries, 
for the small size, attractive form, foliage and 
color of these trees make them valuable assets 
to any ornamental border. 
The splendid cherries we list on this page 
have adequately proven their desirability both 
from the home garden or market point of view. 
With an assortment of these one can have the 
finest of cherries for eating and for canning. 
Daniels Cherry Trees — propagated by the 
methods we use—have proven hardy throughout 
the Northwest and well on up into Canada. 
Compass is the best pollinizer for the other 
cherries and should always be planted with 
them. Should you have an existing planting of 
cherries that is not fruiting well, plant some 
Compass along with them and you will be 
surprised with the way this correct polliniza- 
tion will increase your yield. 
Bearing age trees generally blossom the year 
planted and should fruit the year following 
without fail.

OKA—A tremendous yielder of large round 
cherries fully one inch in diameter. Dark red 
outside with a juicy, purple meat inside. 
Wonderfully sweet. The best of all the purple 
fleshed cherries. 
SAPA—Another excellent Cherry-plum hybrid 
with purple flesh and juice. Sapa is some- 
what larger than Oka and has more of its 
plum parent characteristics. Bears at a very 
early age and is usually an annual bearer. 
COMPASS—wWhile this fine old variety is not 
the equal of the other two cherries in quality 
it is a most acceptable and popular fruit for 
canning. It is the best pollinizer known for 
the other cherries and should be included in 
all plantings.

General culture of Cherries is the same as 
for plums. Pruning should encourage a low 
branched bush-like form and maximum per- 
centage of young wood. Spray as in plums. It 
is well to plant a Compass as a pollinizer. 
The New 
“Ornamental Fruiters” 

Korean Bush Cherry 
(Improved Minnesota Varieties) 
An absolutely new type in Bush Cherries. 
Very hardy, having been introduced from Korea. 
They form a small, neat, upright bush, very 
similar to Flowering Almond in appearance. 
They bear profuse crops of bright red cherries 
of from 3 inch diameter to the size of an Early 
Richmond. Some varieties are better for can- 
ning and some for eating. An excellent and 
attractive shrub for either ornamental or fruit 
planting. We offer two of the leading develop- 
ments of the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. 
Plant the two kinds for best pollination. 
Minn. No. 23—An eating variety. 
Minn. No. 20—Both an eating and canning 
variety. 
Strong 2/3 ft. plants $1.50 each; 1 of each for 
° e 
Hansen’s Bush Cherries 
(Improved South Dakota Strains) 
An improved bush cherry developed at the 
South Dakota station from the common Sand 
Cherry. A beautiful small shrub—compact bush, 
attractive foliage, gorgeous in bloom, and loads 
heavily with masses of beautiful little cherries 
early in the fruiting season. Excellent for jams 
and other cullinary uses. Plant more than one 
for correct pollination. 
18/24 inch plants $0.75 each; 3 for $1.75 
2/3 foot plants $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50 
3/4 foot plants $1.50 each; 3 for $4.00 
The Nanking Cherry 
(An Improved Minnesota Creation) 
An outstanding ornamental and heavy produ- 
cer of brilliant, useful fruit. The beautifully 
formed shrubs reach a height of about 7 feet 
and present an unusual combination of beauti- 
ful flowers (extra early), attractive foliage, with 
generous loads of brilliant, red cherries in early 
summer. The fruit is excellent for eating out 
of hand, or for jelly and canning. 
We offer one of the pet of the new improved 
Nanking Cherries developed by our University 
Experts, Minnesota Number 41. : 
Strong 2/3 ft. plants $1.50 each. 

Fruit Plants As Ornamentals 
Fruit plants often work well into the orna- 
mental planting. Gooseberries and currants 
may, be used either in the informal border or 
for low, compact hedges. Red raspberries make 
a most attractive, taller hedge. Strawberries 
may be used as a low edging for the border or 
flanking a path. The cherries suitable to our 
Northwest climate may be used in place of a 
large shrub or small tree in the informal border. 
Plums may be used in the same way, allowing 
them more room, or used as small trees in the 
lawn—preferably to the side or rear. Apples, 
if allowed sufficient room, also may be used in 
the border but properly should be in the more 
open or lawn area because of their large ulti- 
mate size.
