peach. Ripens early in August. One of the finest for home and market. A good pol- 
lenizer for other plums. 
FSI—TOKA. Highly prized for its rich apricot flavor. Large, firm, orange-red fruit; 
early, heavy bearer. Should be in every plum planting, not only for its big regular 
crops of delicious plums, but also for its pollenizing virtue, promoting heavier 
crops in other varieties.

an amazing popularity in a short time. Beautiful, dark blue, prune-shaped fruit of

BUSH CHERRY 
Low, bushy, ornamental plants are each 
year loaded with attractive cherries that 
make a jam of fine flavor and rich color. 
Good for pies and canning, too. Entirely 
hardy; requires no spraying. Very effec- 
tive pollenizer for Oka Cherry. 
Bush Cherry is also valuable in land- 
scaping. Early spring finds the shrub a 
mass of lovely white flowers, followed by 
the handsome purplish-red fruits that re- 
semble a small plum in size and shape. 
Silvery green foliage turns to brilliant red 
and go!d in the fall! It fits beautifully into 
foundation or border planting, and makes 
a good hedge. 
In the garden, plant in rows 4 to 6 ft. 
apart, the plants 2 to 4 ft. apart in the 
row. They are easy to grow, and often start 
bearing the first year.
