son fig is a very profitable fruit and so easy te 
grow that every one can have all the figs he 
wants. Be sure and do not give them too much 
water or fertilizer as this makes them grow 
branches instead of fruit. Originated in Tarrant 
County but widely planted and doing good in all 
sections at this time.

Cherrtes 
~ 
' SWEET CHERRY. I do not know just what particular 
variety of sweet cherry this is but it is the only sweet 
cherry I have found that will bear in this section. Makes 
a hardy tree and comes into bearing early. 
— MONTMORENCY. Large red, productive. Later than Rich- 
mond. A fine cherry to plant. 
~~ WRAGG. Hardy vigorous and productive. Dark red. Proving 
to be a good bearer here where we thought we would 
never grow cherries. 
PRICE ON CHERRIES 
2 to 3 foot $1.50 
3 to 4 foot $1.75 
~ Hansen Bush Cherries 
Price, 50 cents each or $5.00 per dozen. A very popular fruit among the Indians of South Dakota. 
The little trees bear the second year set. A tree two feet high will be loaded with fruit. The cherries 
are a little larger than the ordinary cherry and make the very best sauce and pies and we like them 
right off the plants. Some of them will be yellow but even from the seed they are all good. Plant 
them along a fence or in any small place. Stand frost and drouth likely better than any other fruit. 
Originated in the deserts of South Dakota. 
Dwarf Fruit Trees 
™ DWARF PEARS ... The growing of Dwarf Pears is a very profitable one. The trees are low headed 
and easily gathered and taken care of. We will have only about two varieties in the Dwarf: KEIFFER, 
Beirne See description of these varieties under standard pears. 2 year branched, three foot and 
up, $2.50.
