The NANKING CHERRY 
(Prunus Tomentosa) 
For Spring Shipment 
A fine ornamental shrub that can be used in any ornamental planting 
and also bear great crops of fine Cherries at the same time. 
These bushes grow to a final height of about seven feet. The shrub 
is nicely shaped, with clean foliage that looks well all season. It can be 
worked into a planting about the house or in the shrub border. The 
flowers come early, just before the leaves. The color is an apple-blossom- 
pink in the bud but gradually opening into a pure white. 
Several varieties must be planted together. Otherwise the Nanking 
Cherry will not bear fruit. The fruit of the improved varieties is oval 
in shape, three-fourths inch long by one-half inch or a little better in 
diameter. The color varies from a very light pink to a rather deep red: 
the pit is small and the quality is good but a trifle acid with no bitterness. 
This is not a Cherry to eat from the bush but it makes up into won- 
derful jam or jelly, tasty and different. 
A HEAVY CROPPER 
Our plants should give you a light crop the following year after plant- 
ing and the second year they should bear heavily. The fruit comes close 
to the limbs from the ground up, and is packed close together all along 
the limb. A solid mass of fruit is formed on every limb from tip down. 
A neighbor sold many crates containing 16 quarts each on the St. Paul 
market, 
We will not sell less than three different varieties in an order as it 
takes this many to insure cross fertilization. 
Three fine 2 to 3 ft. bushes, all different, for $4.50; six assorted, for
