WELCH’S FINEST HEAVY, HEALTHY TREES 
Cherries \ \N THE WoRLD’s 
BEST VARIETIES 
Cherries are easy to raise and, with the 
new DuPont Fruit Spray (page 31), are 
easy to keep free of insects and disease. 
Cherries are always more tasty gathered 
from your own trees and no where near as 
expensive as store bought ones. We have 
tried to offer you only the best varieties of 
pie and sweet cherries. There are other good 
varieties but they usually have some serious 
fault that leads us to avoid them. 
Young pie cherry trees tend to grow 
short and stocky some seasons so if they run 
a little short in height sometimes don’t let 
that bother you; they will make up for it in 
caliper. Set 18 feet apart, or 130 trees to 
the acre if you want that many. Cherries 
are long-lived trees so you really get your 
money’s worth when you buy them. 
A3336—MONTMORE. We have found Mont- 
more to be the finest variety of pie cherry 
that has been introduced within the last 
50 years. The fruit are large, rich red, and 
borne in abundance even on a tree only 4 
or 5 feet high. Montmore never grows 
more than 12 feet high but does get broad; 
usually better than half the crop can be 
picked from the ground. Tree will be in 
full bearing in 3 or 4 years. Will grow 
anywhere from Georgia to as far north as 
cherries will grow. Never pick until fruit 
turns very dark red as cherries gain the last 
1/3 of their size in the last 10 days of 
Plant 15 ft. 
and, if possible, 2 or 
more varieties so can 
cross pollinize. 
A3629 —SAPA. A low, 
bushy plum with rich, 
dark purple fruit and 
i} flesh of the same color 
extending clear to the 
stone. Ripens in late 
July. Very hardy. Excel- 
lent quality, particularly 
for canning and jam.

You'll Get More Berries Sooner With These 
TWO-YEAR TRANSPLANTS 
We wish all our customers would 
buy nothing but these two-year-old 
transplanted berry plants because they 
are so much more satisfactory in every 
way. They are larger, stronger, heavier 
rooted, and the danger of losing them 
in planting is greatly reduced. They 
will even bear a few berries the first 
year, but of course not enough so that 
you could do much canning or jam 
making unless you put out a lot of 
plants. 
Commercial growers who put plants out in 
great quantities probably should buy the 
others, but you folks who want them for your 
home garden should plant these. They require 
lirlle care, get established quickly, bear more 
fruit sooner.

A3312—EARLY RICHMOND. The early 
pie cherry. Fruit medium size but 
borne in quantity and when well 
ripened are fine for pies and to eat 
as fresh fruit. Grows well every- 
where and the tree is vigorous and 
healthy. Plant this variety to 
lengthen your pie cherry season. 
A3337—MONTMORENCY. The most 
popular pie cherry grown in 
America. We think Montmore is 
better, but that’s up to you; perhaps you’d 
like to try both. Montmorency is fruitful, 
well adapted to many different types of soil 
and climatic conditions and its fruit is less 
susceptible to brown rot than most varieties.
