Gurney’s Hardy 
CHERRIES 
The varieties of cherries listed in our 
catalog are those that do best in the 
midwest and northwest and we are 
very particular in our choice of the 
sorts we offer. All are extra heavy 
rooted, well branched, and will soon be 
producing good crops for you. 
Note the big fat caliper (the circumfer- 
ence of the tree at the butt). It seems the 
trees grew shorter but thicker this year. 
We always like a good stout trunk on a tree 
ourselves and we think perhaps you'll like 
these trees even better than the usual ones 
—they look and are so sturdy. 
Our cherries are, always budded on a 
hardy understock to give a long-lived, heavy 
bearing tree. 
Set 18 feet apart, each way, or 130 to the 
acre. Keep the ground around them culti- 
vated if you can, but cherries are one fruit 
that will do very well, even when sur- 
rounded by a heavy sod.
