SAPALTA 
A New, Sweet 
Cherry-Plum Hybrid 
From our neighbors to the North has come another achievement in plant breeding. 
Sapalta is a new, extremely hardy Cherry-Plum Hybrid developed at the Dominion 
Experimental Station, Brooks, Alberta, Canada. It is a seedling of pape: but seems 
to be hardier and even a more dependable bearer. We are proud to be among the 
first to offer this variety. ' 
Prof. W. R. Leslie, Superintendent of the Experimental Station at Morden, Manitoba, 
Canada, says of Sapalta: ‘‘Closely resembling Sapa in bush and fruit characters, but 
seems sweeter and less clingstone. It may be more dependable. The fruit is of 
excellent quality.’ 
You will enjoy this new addition to your garden or orchard. Be sure to include a 
pollenizer cherry in your order. 
~102-16 SAPA 
A popular fine-flavored cherry-plum that is unexcelled for canning, for eating fresh 
and in sauce and pies. Fruit finds a ready market. Fruit is large with a small pit, 
a thin purple-red skin and wine-red flesh. 
Introduced a number of years ago by Prof. N. E. Hansen, Sapa forms fruit buds the 
first year and bears the second. It is a good annual bearer. Sapa is extremely hardy 
and easy to grow. Sets fruit regularly and heavily if you prune severely every year. 
Cut out the older growth and encourage new shoots. Include some pollinizers with 
order.

POLLINIZERS 
Because Cherry-Plum Hybrids will not bear if grown alone, you will want to plant 
some pollinizers, too. You will find Compass and the Hansen’s Bush Cherry to be 
excellent pollinizers. Be sure to include one or the other in every order.

pollinizer for Sapa and Sapalta. Plant , :

Bush Cherry.
