Sour Cherries (Con’t) 
May Duke 
One of the oldest and most popular 
cherries. Finely flavored and often 
said to be half sweet and half sour. 
One of the earliest of its class and will 
often hang on the tree from four to 
six weeks. It has a long ripening sea- 
son which is ideal for home use. Large. 
red, early. 
‘Reine Hortense 
Another half sweet and half sour cher- 
ry. Excellent in quality, large, round, 
bright red, and uniform in size. The 
trees are small to medium in size and 
in Europe they are much used as a 
dwarf. We consider it very ogod for 
the home garden.

Cope’s Seedless Pears 
This new variety resembles 
Bartlett but is seedless and core- 
less, and shows great resistance 
to fire blight. It ripens a few days 
later than Bartlett. Much time is 
saved by not having to core each 
pear when preparing it for use. 
These trees are like the dwarf 
apple. created for a special need.
