\ RUSSIAN 
MULBERRY 
Save Your Cherry Crops by 
Planting Mulberries for the 
Birds 
The Russian Mulberry 
(Morus tartarica) is a rapid 
growing tree that bears an 
abundant crop of edible fruits 
resembling blackberries in ap- 
pearance. They have an ex- 
cellent flavor and make de- 
licious pies and jams. A few 
Mulberry trees planted near 
your cherry trees or berry 
plants will save you many 
times their cost as the birds 
seem to prefer Mulberries to 
the other fruits. Two or more 
trees are required for pollina- 
tion. Size 3 to 4 feet ($1.00 
each) (3 for $2.50) prepaid.

HARDY SURECROP 
NECTARINE 
The "Peach-Plum" 
The Nectarine is a cross between a peach 
and plum. It has smooth skin like a plum, pit 
like a peach, and the size is that of a small 
peach or large plum. It has the flavor of both 
plum and peach; rich, delicious, juicy. It is 
as hardy as the peach and requires the same 
culture. f 
This is the finest of all hardy Nectarines. 
_Fruit large, bright red; flesh white and of 
excellent quality. Tree vigorous and an early 
bearer. 2-year-old trees, 3 to 4 feet high at 
the following prices: ($1.50 each) (3 for 
$4.20) prepaid. 
“ORANGE QUINCE 
You Must Have It for 
Preserves and Jellies 
Fruit large, bright yellow, of ex- 
cellent flavor; the best Quince for 
all sections of the country. Unsur- 
passed for preserves and jellies. 
Both fruit and flowers are quite fra- 
grant, and the trees and bloom high- 
ly ornamental. 2-year-old trees, 3 
to 4 ft. high at the following prices: 
($2.00 each) (3 for $5.70) prepaid.
