Brooks Pollenizer for Oka and a wonderfully fine

which will produce very high quality, edible and delicious, 
dark red fruits as attractive and almost as large as those 
of Oka. Brooks is truly an aristocrat of the Ornamental 
Fruits.

Please do not confuse the BROOKS, BLACK BEAUTY 
and MANDAN GOLDEN with the: common Sand Cherries 
often offered at considerably lower prices and which are 
disappointing in quality. 






Leaf Spot—Curculio—Brown Rot 
These are the most important insects and dis- 
eases of cherries. Sour cherries can often be 
grown successfully without spraying—or with 
not more than one application one week | after 
petal fall to control Curculio. The Leaf Spot and Brown Rot are con- 
trolled by applying Dusting Sulphur or, in the Wet Spray, use Wetable 
Sulphur several times after blooming and usually once after harvest for 
Leaf Spot. For Aphis use Nicotine Sulphate (Black Leaf 40) when the 
buds are just showning green tips in early Spring. 
The Truth About Bush Cherries 
For further description and prices of Bush Cherries see page 22. 
The various types of Bush Cherries all have considerable merit both 
for their fruit and ornamental values. The Nanking Cherry is a tall shrub 
producing bright red edible fruits closely resembling the early May 
Cherries. They produce best when several are planted together. For the 
most part these are all seedling types varying somewhat but all well 
worthwhile. ; 
The Goumi or Cherry Eleagnus is the most ornamental of all the Bush 
Cherries—a medium sized shrub with leaves silvery beneath and both 
leaves and twigs covered with a brownish red pubescense. The fruits are 
most unique in appearance and although they are supposed to be edible 
we find them entirely too astringent. 
Most widely advertised of all is the Sand Cherry and of these the 
Hansen selections have possibly been given widest publicity. They are all 
medium sized shrubs of open type growth with light green foliage. The 
selected varieties and types are propagated vegetatively and the fruits are 
highly prized. We are most enthusiastic about their size and quality, our 
present choice being the new large dark,meaty varieties, BROOKS, 
MANDAN GOLDEN and BLACK BEAUTY. :
