HANSEN 
BUSH CHERRIES 
ABSOLUTELY HARDY 
WILL GROW ANYWHERE 
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 
throughout 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. 

Choase from the 
Gallauing Gine 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. 
BLACK BEAUTY. Nice appearing bush growing to height of 21/7 
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.

Fruit of the Hansen Bush Cherry 
New Korean 
BUSH CHERRY 
An Absolutely New Thing in Bush Cherries Now Offered for the 
First Time 
The wild Bush Cherry of Korea brought to the United States and 
bred up over a period of many years from the best of thousands and 
thousands of seedlings selected and re-selected until we now have a new 
Cherry that grows on a bush 214 to 3 feet high that is almost indis- 
tinguishable in appearance from the bush of the Flowering Almond. 
A NEW MINNESOTA FRUIT THE BUSH 
FARM FRUIT The bush looks just like a nice, 
This is a new fruit produced by neat, upright grown Flowering Al- 
the Minnesota Fruit Farm and we mond bush. It makes a very desir- 
able shrub for planting about the 
house. Leaves medium dark green, 
turning to bright colors with frost 
and remaining on late in the fall. 
THE FRUIT IS A SURPRISE 
The fruit varies with different varieties from a bright red like that 
of the Early Richmond Cherry to a brownish red like that of Mont- 
morency. Some kinds are round and about a half inch in diameter 
while other sorts average up in size and shape with the Early Richmond 
Cherry. In fact, we believe the two could be mixed and unless told, 
one would not notice the difference. 
GOOD TO EAT AND FINE TO CAN 
The fruit is just a trifle sharp in most varieties to eat from the hand 
but some varieties are very mild and verge toward the sweet. All make 
up into wonderful jams, jellies and sauces. 
We truly believe the Nanking and the Korean Bush Cherries in the 
course of a few years will be found in almost every far northern garden. 
believe it is going to revolutionize 
Cherry growing in the middle 
northwest.

I TE. 
CHERRY JAM 
We use the Korean Cherry here at the nursery for making into 
jam and we can truthfully say it makes up into as fine a jam as one 
can make out of any fruit we know of. We would not call it a fruit 
to be eaten from the bush but for jam it has no superior and then 
it gives you a jam that is different.
