ANDREWS ‘ew KOREAN CHERRIES 
The New 
Korean Cherries xxx 
A Splendid Ornamental Bush 
Producing Delicious Pie Cherries 
You will be surprised and delighted with these new Korean 
Cherries. The bushes grow only 3 to 3!%4 feet tall. They are dis- 
tinctly ornamental but they also bear loads of delicious full-sized 
Cherries usually at the tender age of 2 years. 
A wild form of this Cherry is a tough, hardy native of Korea. 
Our horticulturists at the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm 
recognized possibilities for improvement. After years of selection, 
testing, and improving they developed these sturdy little specimens 
that have surprised and delighted all who have seen them. Our 
stocks of this new Cherry are propagated from the State’s most 
choice selections. 
A DELICIOUS PIE CHERRY 
You would never suspect these little bushes could carry such 
loads of full sized Cherries that resemble the regular Pie Cherry 
shipped by carloads from Cherry sections of the country. These 
Koreans are perhaps a little sweeter and they make excellent pies 
and sauce and jelly. As Professor Alderman says: ““They.are similar 
to the ordinary Sour Cherry of commerce and can be used for pies 
and sauce in the same way as the ordinary Sour Cherry is used.” 
Now that it is possible to raise these fine Cherries in your own 
yard or garden, it is not necessary to depend on the grocer. That 
will make a nice saving and give you fresher fruit with no waste. 
These attractive bushes fit well in any ornamental planting or in 
the garden. 
TRULY ORNAMENTAL 
The bush of this Korean Cherry resembles the popular Flower- 
ing Almond in appearance. They are a credit to any landscape 
planting. You can plant them around the foundation, in the shrub 
border, the screen planting, or in the garden. 
Professor Alderman says: “The bushes carry a mass of white 
bloom in the early spring, have a fine delicate foliage, and in the 
latter half of August make a brilliant display with their loads of 
red fruit.” The foliage also has attractive autumn coloring. 
NEW HAMPSHIRE REPORTS 
Dr. A. F. Yeager of the New Hampshire Department of Horti- 
culture writes: “Another Minnesota item which looked promising 
was selections of Prunus Japonica (Korean Cherry), numbers 20 
and 60, set out a year ago, which produced an abundant fruit crop 
this year. These were very nice to eat out of hand even in com- 
petition with regular Sweet Cherries.”

Gentlemen: I have sent you a photo of a branch of the Korean Dwarf Cherry 
which I got in 1944, as I thought you would be interested in knowing how well 
they have done. Everyone who has seen them could hardly believe it was possible 
for the bushes to have as many Cherries as they had. I did not find them listed 
in last year’s catalog and am wondering what has happened to them, as a lot of 
my friends want some. They sure make grand pies and wonderful jelly. Hope 
I may hear from you soon. Yours truly, ISAAC SATTERTHWAITE.
