CHERRIES and 
CHERRY HYBRIDS 
*SAND CHERRY (Prunus besseyi). The native bush 
cherry of the Great Plains. Fruit almost the size of 
a sour cherry, black and often very fine flavored. 
Always good in jam and jelly. A low bush, may be 
planted 3 to 4 ft. apart and will produce a tre- 
mendous quantity of fruit. 2 to 3 ft., each, 75c; 
5 for $3.50. 
WESTERN CHOKECHERRY (Prunus melanocarpa). 
Larger and sweeter than the eastern chokecherry. 
A tremendous bearer. One of our very hardiest na- 
tives, useful as an ornamental, in shelter belts and 
for its fruit which makes perhaps the most delicious 
of all jellies and syrups. It is becoming more valued 
and appreciated yearly. 12 to 24 in., each, 50c; 
10, $4.50.

cherry hybrids. Ripens late July or August. Fruit 
bright red when mature, nearly an inch long, oval, 
pleasant to eat fresh; unrivalled for sauce, jelly or 
jam. Hardy throughout the whole Northwest. 
3 to 4 ft., each, $1.00. 
‘OKA. Another Hansen fruit. A fine large cherry, 
borne on a tree instead of a bush. Quite variable 
in performance, depending on Jocal conditions. At 
its best it is perhaps the finest of the type. The 
fruit is very large for a cherry, a rich purple in 
color, skin thin, flesh red, delicious flavor. Fruit 
hangs to tree and cures there like a dried prune. 
3 to 4 ft., each, $1.25; 5 for $6.00.
