3-310 — Truly a Black Beauty. A real Novelty. 
A Sour Cherry that is black — believed to be the 
first of its kind grown in the United States. In 
the fall of 19385, Mrs. Dolechek, of Rahway, 
New Jersey, imported some seeds from Rumania, 
and in 19386 was successful in growing thirteen 
trees, three of which were sent as a gift to the 
President of the United States. These seedling 
trees produced the fourth year. The introducers 
sent some budwood to us in 1944, from which 
we have now grown enough trees to offer them 
to our customers. 
The manner of growth is identical with the
