SWEET CHERRIES 
Sweet Cherry trees supplied the public by many 
nurseries have not been true to name. We estab- 
lished this fact by checking orchards in the Sweet 
Cherry belt of northern Michigan and consulted ex- 
perienced growers who cooperated with us in making 
our selections. The only variation in Sweet Cherries 
of commercial importance is unproductive strains. 
We selected buds from parent trees producing heavy 
crops. In the listing below you will find those va- 
rieties which have been proven the best commercially, 
and in each ‘’Bud-Selection’’ has emphasized their 
feature characteristics. BING (Rogers)

Three-way Dependable Grading 
Another Factor That Makes Greening Trees 
Safe to Buy 
When you buy Greening trees, there is no guesswork as 
to size and grading any more than there is to quality. You 
can depend upon the age, the height of the tree and the 
caliper or diameter of the trunk to a fraction of an inch. 
Therefore, your trees measure up to your expectations when 
you receive them—exactly the age, grade and size you pur- 
chased. This dependable factor in Greening service coupled 
with the extraordinary quality of Bud Selected strains plus 
our replacement guarantee, gives you assurance of profitable 
performance in your orchard plantings of ‘Greening Bud 
Selected” trees.
