hardy understock to give a_ long-lived, 
heavy-bearing tree. 
It seems that cherry trees grow shorter 
and thicker than most fruit trees; there- 
fore, they are usually a little on the low 
side as far as height is concerned, but 
ours are always on the big side on caliper

Hybrid Cherry 
Useful and Ornamental 
These new hybrids, originated under the 
direction of Dr. Alderman at the Minnesota 
Exp. Station, are great improvements of 
the fine Nanking Cherry because: (1) 
Bright red fruit—almost as large as a 
Montmorency cherry but much milder and 
- sweeter. (2) Bushes loaded with fruit most 
every year. (3) Cherries fine for eating 
right off the bush and make pies, jam, 
feet of a distinctive, delicious flavor. (4) 
ush makes one of nicest ornamental 
shrubs we know of. Grows about 8 ft. tall. 
(5) Planted in a row, the bushes make a 
wonderful screen or tall hedge. (6) Self- 
fertile and do not need cross pollinization. 
(7) Shrubs loaded with white blossoms in
