ANDREWS New Nanking Cherries 
IMPROVED SELECTIONS 
The Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm has again shown its 
skill in the development of valuable new fruits. These New 
Nanking Cherries are improved selections of the hardy Nan- 
king Cherries of northern China. They combine beauty of 
bloom and foliage and bear loads of the most attractive and 
delicious Cherries. The varieties we offer are the two best 
numbered varieties and are both self-fertile. 


DELICIOUS FRUIT 
The outstanding features about these New Nankings are 
their early bearing and their heavy and regular loads of fruit 
that rival any Montmorency that ever grew anywhere. 
Ornamental as Well as Fruitful 
Prof. Alderman says of the Minnesota Nanking Selections: 
“It can be said of all of them that they are very hardy, very 
productive and have excellent quality. The bushes are attrac- 
tive in the spring when they are a mass of bloom and 
again in July when they are covered with ropes of red 
or yellowish red fruit. The fruits have a true Cherry- 
like flavor and are excellent for sauce or jelly making.” 
Plant On Lawn or In Garden 
Nanking Cherries fit well into any landscape plant- 
ing or they may be planted in the garden or orchard. 
The bushes are neat and trim. They grow to a height 
of 5 or 6 feet. The foliage is clean and attractive, 
and the wealth of bloom would make them valuable 
on the lawn even if they bore no fruit. 
Save On Grocery Bills 
As shown in the photo, Nanking bears loads of 
Cherries. They usually start the second year. By the 
third year they are in heavy production. The fruit 
ripens in mid-July before most tree fruits are available. 
You will have an abundance of fruit for eating out 
of hand, for canning or for jelly. Plant Nankings and 
Cut Your Grocery Bills.
