Best 
Selections 

Many people often ask which varieties we would suggest for plant- 
ing. We highly recommend Windsor, Emperor Francis, Napoleon 
and Schmidt’s Bigarreau. Each one pollinates the other—any com- 
bination of two or more gives desired results. 
SWEET CHERRIES 
BLACK GIANT 
Was introduced by Luther Burbank in 1914. Tree is large, vig- 
orous, very productive. Cherries are attractive in size and color; 
the crop is late, coming in season just before Lambert, which the 
black fruits resemble. Quality is excellent and less subject to 
cracking than Bing. One of Burbank’s most notable productions. 

SCHMIDT’S BIGARREAU 
A midseason black sweet Cherry. Considered one of the best large 
varieties of its season. Delicious to eat fresh and canned, and very 
attractive. Fruit grows in clusters. Keeps well and is an excellent 
shipper. In size it is usually unsurpassed by any black Cherry in the 
East. Ripens around July 10. 
EMPEROR FRANCIS 
The Queen of All Sweet Cherries 
Recognized as one of the newer leading sweet Cherries for 
This high quality Cherry re- 
home and commercial orchards. 
sembles Napoleon in size and color except that it becomes a 
little darker. Ripens around July 4th. Sold at same prices as 
regular varieties. 
SOUR CHERRIES 
EARLY RICHMOND 
Fruit small but good and the earliest of the sours. Unsurpassed 
for cooking purposes. ‘This is the variety that yields such marvelous 
crops in the home gardens. Most hardy of all varieties. Uninjured 
by the coldest winters. Tree slender in growth, with a roundish, 
spreading habit. Ripens June 25-30. 
ENGLISH MORELLO 
Fruit is handsome in appearance, real tart. Is recognized as the 
standard late sour Cherry, taking the place of Montmorency after its 
season is over. Cooking gives the fruit a rich, dark wine color, very 
attractive in appearance and a pleasant, aromatic flavor. Tree is 
small, upright spreading with drooping branches. Ripens July 20-30. 
POLLINATION 
Sweet Cherries are self-unfruitful, so must be interplanted. 
Where Napoleon, Bing and Lambert are to be planted together, 
another variety, such as Windsor or Black Tartarian must be 
added, as the first three will not polinate each other. The Sour 
varieties are self-fruitful.
