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 Y 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 select- 
ion, 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 sauces 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
