Remember that these bushes we offer and send out are not _ 
bushes propagated from seed. It is all a gamble as to what one 
gets from such bushes. Our bushes are all propagated either 
by budding or grafting exactly as standard Cherries and Plums 
are and one gets exactly what he purchases—i. e. named Bush 
Cherries identical with the parent bush which we selected. 
Real Ornamental Bushes 
Though generally grown for the fruit, these Cherries are real 
ornamental bushes. The bush is very graceful and works nicely 
into ornamental plantings. The bush is very attractive through- 
out the year and especially so during the fall when the clean 
silvery green leaves turn to all of the bright autumn colors: 
red, yellow, bronze, etc. 
In the spring the little bushes are absolutely covered with 
beautiful white bloom before the leaves appear and make a 
very pleasing sight. 
Plant Several Kinds Together 
As a rule these Bush Cherries are not self-fertile. Several 
kinds must be planted together so as to fertilize one another. 
Because of this, we do not offer a single variety for sale. 
Choose from the 
Following Fine Varieties 
(The Sweetest of All ) 
AMBER. A new variety received by us direct from the South Dakota 
Station. Strong grower with amber-yellow fruit. Foliage a creamy 
yellow in fall. Very sweet. Only one in an order. 
BLACK BEAUTY. Nice appearing bush growing to height of 2 
feet. Berries just a trifle smaller than Brooks. Originated at Win- 
nipeg and of first degree hardiness. The berries are intense shiny 
black and very sweet. Beautiful to look at and fine to eat. You 
won't miss on this one. 
CHECKPA. The latest of all this list of Cherries. Must not be used 
raw until absolutely dead ripe. Because of its lateness, it prolongs 
the season a full week. 
OKREEK. (Hansen.) Of all the Hansen Bush Cherries we have 
tried out, this has the largest bush and produces the most fruit. 
Berries are round, about three-fourths inch in size, black in color, 
and of splendid quality. We like to sell the Okreek because it is 
so good and bears so much. 
RUBY. The first red-fleshed variety to appear among these Hansen 
Bush Cherries. Makes up into a fine red sauce. Skin is black. 
Only one to an order. 
SIOUX. This was the first of the good selections put out by Hansen 
and has always been among the best. A large black sweet Cherry 
of fine quality. 
WASTA. One of Prof. Hansen's varieties that we like very much. 
The bush is a trifle smaller than Okreek. It is a prolific bearer 
of tasty, nice size, pure black fruit. 



THE CHERRY FOR THE 
SMALL CITY YARD 
THE SWEET BUSH CHERRIES 
These Cherries are mainly black in color, mostly round, and 
about three-fourths inch in diameter. They are all on the sweet 
order with no trace of acidity, but some of them retain a trace 
of the flavor of the wild Sand Cherry. Some might object to 
this if eaten from the bush, but when they-are made up into 
jelly, jam, or sauce, they have a flavor that everyone likes. 
SIZE OF BUSH 
The bushes attain an average height of 31 feet and the 
same diameter. They are tremendous bearers, so much so that 
the fruit will often bend the entire bush to the ground.
