. Annual catalogue of northern grown small fruit plants, fruit, shade, ornamental and evergreen trees : for 1899. Nurseries (Horticulture) Minnesota Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs; Fruit trees Seedlings Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs. COMPASS CHERRY. The Compass cherry originated by H. Knndson of Spring-field, and introduced by Minnetonka Nursery, is proving-itself to be a valuable addition to our hardy fruits. Tree and blossoms are per- fectly hard}", a young and abundant bearer. Trees of only one years growth were well loaded with fruit the past season. Fruit large, dark red, fine flavor both for eating and cooking, size nearly-one inch in diameter. Is a very pretty ornamental tree and you can depend it will grow and bear fruit every vear in this northern latitude. Price 75 cents each; 1o dozen $; one dozen $ The tree is one of exceeding vigor and even on an excessively h^t day, in a dry time, when neighboring trees were showing by drooping foilage the effects of such try- ing conditions, this hybrid cherry in the aggressive erectness and spread of every leaf proclaimed its extraordinary vitality. The value of this cherry in such a climate as that in which this originated cannot be questioned. A. W. LATHAM, Sec'yMinn. State Hort.
