After Planting 
@ Bush Ghermice 
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 1953. 
Brooks 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. 
A new variety of beautiful 
Golden Boy golden amber color of the 
same high quality as Brooks. PLEASE DO NOT 
CONFUSE these two select varieties with the 
common sand cherries offered at considerably 
lower prices and which are disappointing in 
quality..
