Cherries, Pears, Peaches, Plums The Linn County Nurseries 
CHERRIES 
Plant on well drained soil only. Elsewhere they will be unsatis- 
factory and short lived. 
Early Richmond is about ten days earlier than Montmorency. These 
are the most dependable varieties. Our trees made a good growth 
and retained their foliage exceptionally well last summer. This means 
they are unusually full of pep. All nicely branched and straight.

PEARS 
Pears do well on clay or gravelly upland. The fruit is less subject 
to worms than apples but the trees are more subject to fire blight. 
This year all varieties are available in the 5 to 6 ft. size, but the 
quantity is quite limited.

PLUMS 
Plum trees, especially these budded on native plum roots, thrive. 
on rich moist bottom lands. They require cross-pollination in most 
cases so do not plant one kind alone. 
Underwood and Superior are large hybrid varieties from the Min- 
nesota Station. For pollination they should have a wild plum or hybrid 
variety of another type such as Toka planted with them in the pro- 
portion, of one to six or eight. 
Toka itself is one of the very best plums and has a pronounced 
fragrance and apricot flavor. Oka is a dwarf tree or bush bearing 
medium sized fruit with dark red flesh and good quality. Moore 
Arctic is one of the hardier European or Blue plums. 
The stock of plums is very limited this year and available only 
as listed below.
