We strongly recommend the planting of l-year-old Sweet 
Cherry trees. We know from 68 years’ experience that 1- 
year-old Sweet Cherries transplant much more successfully 
than 2-year-old trees. Having a more complete root system 
in proportion to the top, they withstand shock of trans- 
planting better, make an earlier start and a much more 
vigorous growth the first 2 or 3 years after planting. 
The Queen of All Sweet Cherries 
Recognized as one of the newer leading Sweet Cherries for 
home and commercial orchards. This high quality Cherry 
resembles Napoleon in size and color except that it becomes 
alittle darker. Ripens around July 4th. Sold at same prices 
as regular varieties. 
<SCHMIDT’S BIGGAREAU 
A midseason black Sweet Cherry. Considered one of the 
best large varieties of its season. Delicious to eat, fresh 
and canned; very attractive. Fruit grows in clusters. Keeps 
well; is an excellent shipper. In size it is usually unsurpassed 
by any black Cherry in the East. Ripens around July 10th. 
BLACK TARTARIAN 
Well known, popular Sweet Cherry; very large, bright pur- 
plish black, juicy; has a rich flavor. Excellent for canning; a 
good shipper. Trees are remarkably vigorous, erect growers, 
produce immense crops. Ripening date June 30th—July 4th. 
<NAPOLEON (Royal Anne) 
A choice, sweet Yellow Cherry of highest quality known as 
White Oxheart. Good for market and canning. Pale yellow 
with attractive bright red cheek; flesh firm, flavor rich, sweet. 
Fruit keeps well so fruit dealers like it for market.; trees pro- 
ductive, come into bearing early. Ripening date July 7th—-10th. 
LAMBERT 
Follows Black Giant close in season, largest and best of the 
late purplish red, firm fleshed varieties. Rich flavored, pro- 
duces an enormous crop every year. Sells at good prices on 
the market after other varieties are gone. Excellent 
shipper. Ripening date July 18th—25th. 
<a Windsor 
One or the best quality dark Cherries, often referred to as 
Black Oxheart. Has pinkish flesh and almost black skin. 
Large, juicy, firm. Delicious to eat, fresh and wonderful 
for canning. Used extensively for fancy preserving. Tree 
grows upright and is a rapid and vigorous grower. A good 
commercial variety. Ripening date July 20th—26th. 
BLACK GIANT 
Was introduced by Luther Burbank in 1914. Tree is large, 
vigorous, very productive. Cherries are attractive in size 
and color; the crop is late, coming in season just before Lam- 
bert which the black fruits resemble in size and color. Quality 
is splendid and cherries are less subject to cracking than 
Bing. Giant is one of Burbank’s most notable productions. 
Many people often ask which varieties we would suggest for 
planting. We highly recommend Windsor, Emperor Fran- 
cis, Napoleon, Schmidt’s Biggareau. Each one pollinates 
the other, any combination of 2 or more gives desired results.
