SOUR CHERRIES 
Made Better by ‘‘Bud-Selection’’ 
From the hundreds of varieties of Cherries grown and sold in the United 
States we have carefully selected the best and further improved them through 
bud selection to retain every good feature and assure heavy crops. Cherries 
ask no favors in location or handling, provide crop diversification, bear almost 
annually and keep profits flowing your way. 
In the description of varieties, the name in parenthesis immediately following the 
variety name, in each case indicates the strain and is the name of the orchard in which 
the parent tree is located, from which propagating buds were taken. 
The New Early 
RICHMORENCY (Reber Strain) 
U. S. Plant Patent No. 316 
A new variety discovered and developed by Greening of exceptional 
merit, giving growers the profit advantages of a Montmorency Cherry a week 
~~ to 10 days earlier than the regular varieties. The variety originated as a limb 
sport on the farm of L. B. Reber, St. Joseph, Michigan. First observations 
were made June 30, 1931. Progeny test trees were planted at the Graham 
Experiment Station, Grand Rapids, in 1933 and fruited in 1936 and 1937, 
reproducing a true Montmorency but maintaining the early ripening char-

MONTMORENCY 
Fernwood Strain 
The Montmorency Cherry variety is transitional. 
Variations are found in every one of its important 
characteristics including type and growth of trees, 
twigs and leaves, length of stems, production, time 
of ripening and size as well as shape and color of 
fruits. Through bud selection we are able to bring 
out the best in the variety. Greening’s Super- 
Selected Montmorency Fernwood Strain is the lead- 
ing commercial Sour Cherry and it has proved its 
value in the many orchards in which it is now in 
production. 
Leading growers everywhere are demanding our 
Fernwood Strain Montmorency. The trees are vigor- 
ous and strong growing, making a large tree 
quickly, thus coming into profitable production at 
an early age. The trees are more uniform in shape 
and size, produce more fruit which is more uniform 
in ripening and from 15 to 20 per cent larger in 
size than fruit from check trees of ordinary Mont- 
morency which were produced by the old propa- ed ' __ 
gation methods. Season end of June. Montmorencyi(Ecrnwendicrieeny
