NORTH STAR CHERRY 
THE NEW 
“North Star Cherry 
A Large, Lucious, Real 
Pie Cherry 
This marvelous new pie cherry was 
introduced just three years ago by the 
Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm. 
It promises to be hardy throughout a 
large part of Minnesota, much farther 
north than any really good pie cherry 
could be grown prior to it’s origina- 
tion. 
The fruit is large, ripens a glisten- 
ing mahogany-red and is tender and 
juicy with a very fine flavor. The pit 
is small and easily removed. They 
ripen early in July and remain on the 
tree in good condition for about two 
weeks. 
The NORTH STAR tree is small but 
very productive, and is highly resist- 
ant to most diseases. The blossoms 
are self fertile, so a lone tree will 
fruit successfully. Because of it’s small 
size and self fertility it is an ideal 
tree for planting on properties of 
limited areas. 
For rich, juicy, top quality “home 
grown cherry pies” be sure to plant 
one or more NORTH STAR trees this 
spring. Large size, early bearing trees 
only $3.75 each, 3 for $10.00. 
Hardy Cherues 
The splendid cherries we list below 
have adequately proven their desirability 
for both and commercial growing. With 
an assortment of these one can have the 
finest of cherries for eating and canning. 
They are fully hardy in our entire area. 
The new NORTH STAR cherry is the 
finest pie cherry that can be wisely 
planted here. “You'll be sorry” if you 
pass it up! 
HARDY HYBRID CHERRIES 
\OKA—A tremendous yielder of large 
round cherries fully one inch in diame- 
ter. Dark red outside with a juicy, 
purple meat inside. Wonderfully sweet. 
The best of all the purple fleshed 
cherries. 
OPATA—An enormous producer of good 
sized cherries. Dark colored outside, 
green fleshed and juicy inside. 
NN SAPA—Another excellent Cherry-plum 
hybrid with purple flesh and_ juice. 
Sapa is somewhat larger than Oka and 
has more of its plum parent charac- 
teristics. Bears at a very early age and 
is usually an annual bearer. 
\ COMPASS—While this fine old variety 
is not the equal of the above cherries in 
quality it is a most acceptable and pop- 
ular fruit for canning. It is one of the 
best pollinizers known for these other 
cherries and should be included in all 
plantings.

“Thoughts on Aardinuedre 
Yes, we have no banana trees! In fact 
we just don’t handle items that are not 
considered perfectly hardy for our terri- 
tory. Sure, we could sell varieties that 
are borderline as to hardiness but we be- 
lieve that Mr. Average Homeowner does 
not wish to invest time nor money in ex- 
perimentation. You can rely on our vari- 
ties!
