NURSERY 
Hardy Cherries 
Compass is the best pollenizer for 
the other cherries and should always 
be planted with them. 
OKA— 
A tremendous yielder of large round cher- 
ries fully one inch in diameter. Dark red 
outside with a juicy, purple meat inside. 
Wonderfully sweet. The best of all the 
purple fleshed cherries. 
SAPA— 
Another excellent Cherry-plum hybrid 
with purple flesh and juice. Sapa is some- 
what larger than Oka and has more of its 
plum parent characteristics. Bears at very 
early age and is usually an annual bearer. 
COMPASS— 
While this fine old variety is not the equal 
of the other two cherries in quality it is a 
most acceptable and popular fruit for can- 
ning. It is the best pollenizer known for 
the other cherries and should be included 
in all plantings.

RED LAKE— 
Originated recently at the Minnesota 
State Fruit Breeding Farm—finest of all Red 
Currants. The berry is unusually large in 
size and of superior quality; the clusters 
are long and filled out to the top, with 
stems sufficiently long to make picking 
easy. Berries are a clear light red and the 
quality excellent. The bush is vigorous, 
upright, and productive. Ripens early mid- 
season, but holds on over a long period so 
it can be used or marketed as desired. 
2 yr. plants, 60c, 3 for $1.50. 
Gooseberries 
PIXWELL— 
One of Professor Yeager’s wonderful pro- 
ductions. A cross between a native wild 
selection and a high quality cultivated sort. 
The berries are very large. The plants are 
rapid growing and vigorous. A heavy 
bearer. Fruit on long stems and bushes 
sparse in thorns, hence they are easy to 
pick.

and keep out the quack grass and a patch 
will last many years.
