Montmorency — 
We consider Montmorency 
the most dependable and the 
_ best all-around cherry for 
general planting in the mid- 
» western states. This is the best 
* cherry for freezing, canning, 
pies, and preserves. 
Montmorency and Early 
Richmond are both considered 
the sour or canning type cher- 
ries. They are the hardiest and 
most dependable for produc- 
ing regular crops with trees 
literally a mass of dark red 
fruits in early July. There is 
a tremendous demand for 
these cherries in the fruiting 
season and they have proven 
a most profitable item for 
commercial planting and road- 
‘side sales. 
Early Richmond => 
The best early cherry. Bears 
7-10 days before Montmoren- 
cy. A very good cherry for all 
culinary uses. 
Dual Purpose Bush Cherries 
These shrubs serve as a very beautiful and 
colorful ornamental bush, attaining a maximum 
height of 6 ft. and a heavy fruiting ability of de- 
licious edible fruits. These Bush Cherries are 
quite free from serious insect and disease in- 
jury. Plant more than one variety to insure 
proper pollenization. 
We are pleased to list the following varieties 
for 1952. 
B rooks Pollenizer for Oka, and a wonderful- 
ly fine bush cherry in itself. They are 
budded plants which will produce very high 
quality dark red fruits as attractive and almost 
as large as those of Oka. Brooks is truly an aris- 
tocrat of the Ornamental Fruits. 
This is the newest selection 
Black Beauty 3fi.c Bush Cherries. Of- 
fered because of its high quality and large very 
dark glossy fruits—almost black. The flesh is 
dark red from the skin to the pit. You will be 
proud of the “Black Beauties” in your Orna- 
mental Garden. 
New bush cherry of 
Mandan Golden beautiful golden am- 
ber color and of the same high quality as Brooks 
and Black Beauty. Please do not confuse the 
BROOKS, BLACK BEAUTY, and MANDAN 
GOLDEN with the common Sand Cherries often 
offered at considerably lower prices and which 
are disappointing in quality. 
s (Prunus Tomentosa) A 
Nanking Cherry most ornamental up- 
right spreading shrub. Pink in bud, the tiny 
flowers open a pure white with striking contrast 
between the white flower petals and the bright 
red and orange calyx. In June the branches are 
studded with large rich red fruits, closely resem- 
bling our early May Cherries. Good to eat and 
they make beautiful rich jellies and wine. Set 
several plants for best pollenization. Price, extra 
heavy, 2 ft., $1.00 each, 3 for $2.50 by express.
