“BLACK RUSSIAN 
One of Our Finest New Hardy Sweet Cherries 
' A new sweet cherry coming to us from the orchards of Mr. 
Hiram Burkholder, Clyde, Ohio. Mr. Burkholder for years 
tested many varieties of new fruits to determine the finer 
varieties for the fruit grower and the Black Russian Cherry 
is an outstanding example. In tree habit it is a vigorous 
grower, very hardy and highly productive. The tree under 
his conditions has shown no injury at temperatures of 15 to 
20 degrees below zero, nor has late spring frosts during 
bloom period affected the crop materially.. The fruit is med- 
ium in size. and does not crack or show tendency to brown 
rot before picking. The fruit is very dark in color being al- 
most black. Flesh leaves pit readily. The flavor is distinc- 
tive, aromatic and delightful. We recommend this new cherry 
for trial in all sections where sweet cherries can be grown. 
We reserve right to limit quantities. Same price as other
