CHERRIES, 



Eight varieties o£ cherries planted have all proved entire 

 failures. 



MULBERRIES.

 Pecan will bear at eight years old, and Walnuts from five to 

 six years.

 the preference is given to the Turner and the Cuthbert. 

 They put up a great many shoots which must be treated as

 their excellent quality, and great productiveness, make them
