The New 
ORNAMENTAL 
FRUITING CHERRIES 
The Cherries listed below are primarily 
for use as ornamentals, but they are such 
free producers of good fruits that they 
deserve a place on the same page with the 
regular fruit producing Cherries. The new 
Minnesota Improved Nanking Cherries 
bear such fine fruits so abundantly that 
they are frequently grown as a market 
crop. The Hansen Bush: Cherries, how- 
ever, are not large enough to be practical 
for that purpose. 
Both, too, are most desirable for home 
fruit production and this, coupled with 
their exceptional worth as ornamentals, 
makes them a true “must” in most plant- 
ings. 
Nanking Cherry 
(Minn. Nos. 20 and 41) 
(Improved Minnesota Creations) 
Two outstanding ornamentals and 
heavy producers of brilliant, useful 
fruit. The beautifully formed shrubs 
reach a height of about 7 feet and 
present an unusual combination of 
beautiful flowers (extra early), at- 
tractive foliage, with generous loads 
of brilliant, red cherries in early 
summer. The fruit is excellent for 
eating out of hand, or for jelly and 
canning. 

THE DANIELS NURSERY 

DANIELS HARDY CHERRIES 
You don’t need an orchard to grow cherries, for 
the small size, attractive form, foliage and color of 
these trees make them valuable assets to any orna- 
mental border. 
The splendid cherries we list on this page have 
adequately proven their desirability both from the 
home garden or market point of view. With an assort- 
ment of these one can have the finest of cherries for 
eating and for canning. 
Daniels Cherry Trees—propagated by the methods 
we use—have proven hardy throughout the North- 
west and well on up into Canada. 
Compass is the best pollinizer for the other cherries 
and should always be planted with them. Should you 
have an existing planting of cherries that is not fruit- 
ing well, plant some Compass along with them and 
you will be surprised with the way this correct 
pollinization will increase your yield. 
Bearing age trees generally blossom the year plant- 
ed and should fruit the year following without fail. 
OKA—A tremendous yielder of large 
round cherries fully one inch in 
diameter. Dark red outside with a 
juicy, purple meat inside. Wonder- 
fully sweet. The best of all the 
purple fleshed cherries. 
SAPA—Another excellent Cherry- 
plum hybrid with purple flesh and 
juice. Sapa is somewhat larger than 
Oka and has more of its plum parent 
characteristics. Bears at a very early 
age and is usually an annual bearer. 
COMPASS—While this fine old var- 
iety is not the equal of the other 
cherries in quality it is a most ac- 
ceptable and popular fruit for can- 
ning. It is one of the best pollinizers 
known for the other cherries and 
should be included in all plantings.
