GIANT RED-FLESHED 
CHERRY-PLUM (Sapa) 
A popular fine-flavored cherry-plum that is unexcelled for 
canning, for eating fresh and in sauce and pies. Fruit finds 
a ready market. Fruit is large with a small pit, a thin purple- 
red skin and wine-red flesh, 
Introduced a number of years ago by Prof. N. E. Hansen, 
Sapa forms fruit buds the first year and bears the second. 
It is a good annual bearer. Sapa is extremely hardy and easy 
to grow. Sets fruit regularly and heavily if you prune severely 
every year. Cut out the older growth and encourage new 
shoots. Include some pollinizers with order. 
POLLINIZERS 
Because Cherry-Plum Hybrids will not bear if grown alone, 
you will want to plant some pollinizers, too. You will find 
Compass and the Hansen’s Bush Cherry to be excellent pol- 
linizers. Be sure to include one or the other in every order. 
COMPASS 
Compass has proven to be an effective pollinizer for Sapa and 
Sapalta. Plant one in every group, or in larger plantings one 
to every 8 or 10 cherries. The tree is Bieccls hardy and 
thrives in nearly any location. Fruit is valued for canning, 
jam and jelly. Will bear the second year. 
HANSEN’S BUSH CHERRY 
Hansen’s Bush Cherries are also recommended as pollinizers 
for Sapa and Sapalta. They are easy to grow, and while the 
quality does not compare with the Korean Bush Cherry, it 
does make good preserves. They bear eariy, heavily and an- 
nually.

Try This Recipe for Jam 
Here’s a jam recipe to tempt grown men and small boys 
alike. Cover Cherry Plums with water, add 11/7 teaspoons 
soda, boil until skins break, drain through colander, re- 
move pits. Add sugar pound for pound. To a moderate- 
sized kettleful, add 1 tablespoon vinegar, boil until thick. 
Put in jars and seal—or serve and stand ready to make 
more.

SAPALTA 
A New, Sweet Cherry-Plum Hybrid 
From our neighbors to the North has come another achieve- 
ment in plant breeding. Sapalta is a new, extremely hardy 
Cherry-Plum Hybrid developed at the Dominion Experimental 
Station, Brooks, Alberta, Canada. It is a seedling of Sapa, 
but seems to be hardier and even a more dependable bearer. 
We are proud to be among the first to offer this variety. 
Prof. W. R. Leslie, Superintendent of the Experimental Sta- 
tion at Morden, Manitoba, Canada, says of Sapalta: “Closely 
resembling Sapa in bush and fruit characters, but seems 
sweeter and less clingstone. It may be more dependable. The 
fruit is of excellent quality.” 
You will enioy this new addition to your garden or orchard. 
Be sure to include a pollinizer cherry in your order.
