_ Cherries 

OKA CHERRY 
Cherries are being grown more and more through- 
out the Northwest. While the eastern varieties have 
not proven very successful in this section, particularly 
the sweet cherries, there has in the last few years, 
been considerable advancement in the production of 
hardy kinds. By cross breeding, horticulturists have 
brought out some new varieties that are particularly 
adapted to this section and with fruit of a quality that 
compares very favorably with the older sorts. Cher- 
ries should be givenethe same care as plums and it is 
best to keep them trimmed to bush form as much as 
possible. 
Compass Cherry—Originated in Minnesota. A cross 
between the Rocky Mountain Cherry and the Native 
Plum, and resembles both. The most remarkable fruit 
of recent origination. Hardy as any wild plum. 
Sweet, juicy and excellent flavor. Marvelously pro- 
lific bearer. Grows on any soil. Fruits every year— 
never misses. Bears second year after planting. 
Good shipper and a fine cooker. This cherry is per- 
fectly hardy in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, the Da- 
kotas and Montana. 
Oka Cherry—Immensely 
next year after setting into orchard. Heavy, an- 
nual bearer of large, deliciously flavored fruit, 
having rich purple-red skin, flesh and juice unex- 
celled for canning, j Jelly. " Dree sis very 
productive, bearing: 
jam or 
hardy; is of dwarf habit. making it easy to gather 
the fruit. Because of its early bearing and ex- 
cellent fruit it is certainly a favorite, and we rec- 
ommend it very highly. 
Nicollet Cherry—The Nicollet is the nearest approach 
to the true sour cherry, that has been produced in the 
northwest. The tree is small, bush-like, finely 
branched, leaves small, one year shoots conspicuously 
reddish, hardy except in northern portions, fruit is 
small, roundish, oval. Skin thin, medium tough, color 
dull cherry red, flesh greenish yellow, tender, juicy, 
mildly sour, cherry like in flavor and texture, quality 
zood. Stones small, roundish oval, cherry like. Sea- 
son August. 
St. Anthony——Tree very vigorous, grows somewhat 
larger than Zumbra or Nicollet. Fruit is a dark pur- 
plish red with russet spots and heavy bloom, flesh rich 
dark red, juicy, tender and fine grained. Excellent 
for culinary purposes. 
Zumbra Cherry—A low growing tree, vigorous and 
very productive, showing the characteristic profuse 
bearing habits of the sand cherry crosses. The fruit 
reaches one inch in diameter and is borne in thick, 
rope-like clusters along the slender branches of last 
year’s wood. Color very dark, nearly black when ripe: 
flesh firm, greenish, sometimes tinged with red when 
fully matured; stone small, free: quality good with a 
flavor resembling its sweet cherry parent. This cherry 
is destined to surpass all other productions for cherry 
growing in Minnesota, the Dakotas and Wisconsin.
