High Bush Cranberries 
HIGH BUSH CRANBERRY 
The High Bush Cranberry is native all over 
the wooded sections of Northern Michigan, 
Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Thousands of bush- 
els of fruit are gathered each fall and made into 
jelly. 
There is a great variation in the size of 
the fruit. Some bushes bear fruits twice 
as large as that of others. Our bushes are 
grown from fruit selected from bushes 
growing the very largest berries we could 
find. The berries are not good to pick and 
eat from the bush. They are disappoint- 
ing if they are bought with such an idea 
in mind, but they are fine for culinary pur- 
poses and make a jelly that looks and 
tastes exactly like that of the marsh Cran- 
berry, such as you buy at the grocery. It is 
for the jelly that this fruit is used. 
Nice to plant as individual shrubs, either 
in clusters or in long rows as a background, 
Grows to a height of 8 to 12 feet. Old 
bushes will often bear a bushel of fruit in 
a single year. If planted on the-farm 
where there is plenty of room, nothing else 
is nicer than a full row of High Bush Cran- 
berry planted along the north side of the 
garden, where it will produce loads of 
fruit and at the same time act as a dense 
low windbreak for the garden. So planted, 
bushes should be set 6 feet apart. 
2 to 3 ft., $1.00; 3 for $2.50; 
10 for $7.50 
PRUNUS CISTENA 
Prof. Hansen's 
Famous Red-Leaved Cherry 
A wonderful low-growing intense red-leaved 
Cherry that grows in bush-form up to a height of 
6 feet. Foliage brilliant red all summer. After pas- 
sing southern end of Lake Michigan, color much 
more intense than in the West. Fine for border 
planting. This is about the most brilliant purple- 
leaved shrub we can grow in the North. Try it. 
It will please you. 3 to 4 ft., $1.50

Ornamental 
Shrubs 
ALMOND, Double Flowering White 
Bush looks same as the pink, but more upstanding, and abso- 
lutely covered with little intensely double, pure white flowers like 
little double Roses. Our finest and vety early white shrub. Per- 
sonally we think the White Almond much more beautiful than the 
pink. Strong, 2 to 3 ft., $1.25 
CARYOPTERIS, 
BLUE MIST 
(Hardy Blue Spirea) 
We have plenty of blooming 
shrubs during the early season 
through late May, June and July. 
But when fall comes, as a rule, 
the shrubs are bare of bloom. 
So it seems nice to find a late 
blooming shrub hardy enough to 
stand our northern climate. This 
we have in Hardy Caryopteris 
which has proved hardy to the 
Canadian line. 
A low 
rounded 
perfectly 
shrub that reaches a 
height of about 2 feet. Covered 
growing, 
through August until killing 
frost with delicate lacelike flow- 
ers. 
Nice 2- to 3-ft. plants: $1.25 
each; 2 for $2.25.
