BUSH CHERRIES 
These are attractive ornamental shrubs which produce edible fruit. However, the fruit 
cannot be compared with siandard cherries with regard to their quality. 
Bush Cherries are extremely hardy and bear fruit soon after planting. Plant 2 or more 
of one kind for cross-pollination. Bush Cherries make a beautiful fruiting hedge.

McDONALD. The stalks are up to 2 ft. long, many half as thick as your wrist. The 
skin is a bright red, and the inside flesh is white. It is very tender and has a rich 
flavor, far superior to common varieties. A tremendous yielder. 
RUBY. The sweetest of all rhubarb, solid red from top to bottom. The inside flesh, 
too, is colored. The stalks are smaller than McDonald. 
FIGS 
We do not encourage general planting of Fig trees because their hardiness is limited 
to southern states. 
However, if you have a well protected, warm and sunny place and if you are pre- 
pared to give suitable winter protection, you might be able to grow them successfully 
as far north as Boston, Mass., or Detroit, Mich.

BROWN TURKEY. This is an early variety. Has the habit of bearing on new wood 
the first season. 
ASPARAGUS 
It takes only a little room to grow your own asparagus. 100 plants, set 1 ft. apari, will 
provide an average family supply. 
Before you plant, fork the soil deeply, pulverize it, and open up flat-bottomed trenches 
8 inches deep. Spread the roots out and cover with 2 or 3 inches of soil. As the sea- 
son progresses, hoe shallowly to keep down the weeds, and gradually fill in all the 
trenches so the bed will be level again by fall.
