CHERRIES 
WHY YOU SHOULD PLANT OUR 
TREES 
Bud and scion wood used in propogation of our cherry trees, 
has been, and will continue to be, taken from marked trees of 
the best proven strains, which have been endorsed or passed 
on as the best available, by a staff of inspectors connected with 
the Oregon Agriculture College. 
SWEET CHERRIES 
ON MAZZARD ROOTS 
Commercial orchards use the Bing, Lambert, and Royal Ann 
extensively for canning, barreling, and to supply the fresh mar- 
kets. We recommend the following trees for pollenizing: Black 
Republican, Black Tartarian, and Deacon. The Black Republican 
is most used for this purpose because barreling plants always 
accept the fruit in connection with other varieties at a fair price. 
It is a prolific and sure crop tree. Plant one tree out of every nine 
as a pollenizer, that is one-ninth of the total orchard should be 
pollenizers. 

CHERRIES 
Bing—Fruit is large and almost black when fully ripe. Flesh 
firm, meaty, sweet, and is purplish red in color. A fine cherry 
for fresh use and shipping. Ripens early in July. 
Black Republican—Medium sized cherry with purplish fruit. Very 
sweet. The best all around pollenizer for most sweet varieties. 
Ripens with Bing. 
Black Tartarian—Very large fruit, purplish black in color, quite 
tender, juicy, very rich with an excellent flavor. Good pro- 
ducer. Pollenizer. Ripens late in June. 
Deacon—Similar to the Black Tartarian in color and size but 
superior in texture and shipping qualities. Also a pollenizer. 
Lambert—-One of the largest known cherries, smooth, glossy, 
color purplish dark red. Meat purplish red with firm, meaty, 
full flavor. Fruit round, heart shaped and very firm, good 
shipper. The tree a vigorous and thrifty grower. 
Royal Anne (Napoleon)—Large, yellow, red cheeked cherry. 
Flesh firm, juicy and sweet. One of the best varieties for mar- 
ket and canning. The hardiest of the light yellow varieties. 
Requires pollenizer. 
SOUR CHERRIES 
ON MAZZARD ROOTS 
Sour cherries are priced the same as sweet cherries for their 
respective grades. Sour cherries are usually graded to caliper 
rather than to height as they are mostly branched trees. 

The general grades of sour cherries compare as follows: 
2 to 3 ft. in Sweet Cherry is No. 3 grade in Sour Cherry. 
3 to 4 ft. in Sweet Cherry is No. 2 grade in Sour Cherry. 
4 to 6 ft. in Sweet Cherry is No. 1 grade in Sour Cherry. 
Early Richmond (Kentish) —Medium size, dark red, juicy, acid 
flavor. This is one of the finest of the acid type, unsurpassed 
for cooking. Tree hardy and prolific producer. Last of June. 
Late Duke—Fruit large, round rich dark red; sub-acid, hardy; 
ripens three weeks after Royal Ann. 
May Duke—This is a good, hardy cherry, medium size, dark red 
in color. First of June. 
Montmorency Large—The only sour cherry recommended for 
commercial plantings. Our stock is grown from wood originally 
supplied by R. V. Rogers, Eugene, Ore., and known as the 
GIANT TYPE. It comes into bearing at an early age, is 
unusually productive, requires no pollenizers. Plant only the 
R. V. Rogers Strain for best results. 
NECTARINES 
In general appearance the Nectarine is similar to the Peach. 
The trees have the same habit of growth. Cultural requirements 
are the same. The chief difference lies in the character of the 
fruit which in the Nectarine is smooth, in the Peach, fuzzy. 
New White—Fruit quite large and nearly round; skin greenish 
white with occasional touch of red; flesh white, juicy and ten- 
der. Early July. 
Quetta—Large, yellow green, rich aroma, good quality. 
canning variety. 
Stanwick—A variety of English origin, recognized as the leader 
in nectarines. Adaptable for shipping, drying, canning. A 
large size fruit with pale greenish skin, shaded deep violet. 
The flesh is white, tender, juicy and separates freely from the 
rics 
King Fig—A new creation discovered in 1930. Today King Fig 
is the quality fig in California, and thousands of this variety 
planted in British Columbia, Washington and Oregon have 
proven that large-sized figs of equal perfection can be pro- 
duced throughout the Northwest. 
Smooth and shining, thin skinned, green outside, pink in- 
side, King Fig trees bear fruit one year after planting, from 
June 15th to July 25th, depending on location. 
King Fig is self-pollenizing and a single tree will bear a 
sizable crop of good quality fruits the size of a pear. Figs are 
free from pests and bear a crop every year. Guaranteed to 
grow the first season if planting instruction are closely followed. 
Brown Turkey—Fruits are very large and long, rich purplish brown 
in color, becoming deeper purple as they mature. Rich straw- 
berry-red flesh, fine grained, sweet and juicy. 
White Adriatic—Very large, elongated, yellowish green fruit, 
flesh strawberry-red, excellent quality, thrives in all sections. 
Granata Fig—vVery large pear-shaped fruit; blue black when 
fully ripe, pulp a strawberry red. Two crops a season after 
the fourth year. Very heavy bearer. Fruit very fine for eating 
fresh or preserving, often measuring 7 inches in circumference. 
Lattarula (Italian honey fig)-——A greenish yellow when ripe; 
honey colored pulp, never fails to ripen its fruit; two crops a 
season, July to November Ist. Medium to large size fruit; 
very sweet and high in sugar content; very hardy and strong 
grower; withstands low temperatures. 
The fruit is well adapted to drying, canning, jams, pickles 
and many other confections. In fact is our commercial variety 
of the Northwest. 
GRAFTED PERSIMMONS 
Hachiya—The most commonly planted and best known of the 
persimmons. Very large conical fruit of bright orange-red, 
with sweet, rich, mellow flesh. 
Fuyu—The fruits are large, flattened and are borne in large 
quantities. The fruit is quite firm even when fully ripe, and 
bears much younger than most persimmons. 
Tani Nashi—-Very large, roundish, conical fruit. The skin is 
light yellow, flesh is yellow. Seedless. The tree begins bear- 
ing when quite‘young. The finest commercial persimmon. 
Yemon—Fruit is large, tomato shaped, somewhat four sided. 
The color is bright orange .The fruit ripens before frost.
