New Nanking Cherry 


SWEET CHERRIES 
_ Very large fruit of 
Black Tartarian purplish black col- 
or. This is a Heart Cherry, very sweet, of 
superb quality. The tree is a vigorous, up- 
right grower, immense bearer. <A popular 
market cherry. I recommend it for the 
South, the l’acific states, also the Great 
Lakes region and the New England states. 
In the Middle West they are not dependa- 
bly hardy, although they are grown here 
and there in protected places with fairly 
good results. <A great cherry in its proper 
place. Ripens fore part of July. Add 10c 
per tree to price quoted on page 12 
Fruit large, somewhat 
Yellow Glass flattened in shape, of 
very beautiful golden color, firm, juicy, 
sweet and of fine quality. This is not a 
Heart Cherry, and is therefore hardier 
than Black Tartarian. It stood our dry 
summers and cold winters with fairly good 
results. I can recommend the tree for lo- 
calities as far north as the southern half of 
Nebraska. Blooms late. I suggest pinching 
off the tips of the young branches in July 
to encourage branching and a dense growth 
for best bearing. Ripens July 1. Add 10c 
per tree to prices quoted on page 12. 
’ 
(prunus 
tomen- 
tosa). Grows to a height of 5 ft. and over, 
with a clean, healthy foliage, and a beau- 
tiful load of snowy blossoms in_= early 
spring, followed by astonishing quantities 
of Cherries. The fruit is about the size of 
regular Cherries, and much the same in 
flavor, furnishing an abundant supply of 
fresh fruit as well as fruit for sauce and 
jelly. Ripens here end of June; light red 
to red when fully ripe. It serves the double 
purpose of making a nice ornamental shrub 
as well as a good fruit producer. To ena- 
ble our customers to plant this new shrub, 
we are pricing it very low. Nice 2 ft. 
plants, 2 for 95c; 6 for $2.50; postpaid.

ning and preserves. It is an enormous

sometimes as a yearling. 3-4 ft. nice trees,

fessor Hansen of Brookings, South Dakota. A greatly 
improved Sand Cherry. The fruit is fair in quality 
and recommended for canning (preserves), of good 
size, small pit, very dark red. Makes a very good 
hedge, as it grows in low bush form. Resists extreme 
drought and cold remarkably well. 18 to 24 in. shrubs,

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Plant Cherry trees so deep that the bud, just above 
the root will be about 1 inch below thie soil surface, 
in other words plant about 2 inches deeper than grown 
in the nursery. Cut the ends of all roots smooth with 
a sharp knife just before planting. Water well at 
planting time. The top-branches do not require prun- 
ing, except broken branches may be removed.
