ries, a little larger than the Early Richmond; they are dark col- 

 ored and exceedingly rich, and sweeter cherry. I think there 

 is that type of cherry, but we don't want to mix them with the 

 Montmorency. I don't think we have got a live Enghsh Morello 

 in York County. 



Mk. Youngers: I wish to say that the Terry has stood it as 

 good as any tree we have had — equal to the Early Richmond or 

 Montmorency. 



Mr. Marshall: I am getting tired of bobbing up and down. 

 I want to say something about that cherry. We had some ex- 

 perience. Tlie Terry in the nursery will stand a whole lot of 

 grief. I remember the greatest we have here to speak of in the 

 cherry hne is cold weather. The reason Nebraska has been 

 such a good cherry country is because of the glorious sunshine. 

 But when we get fifty instead of twenty-two or twenty-nine in- 

 ches of rain fall, then the cherry is going to suffer. Now the Terry 

 will stand that in the nursery; I cannot explain why it will stand 

 that in the orchard while it is young, but about the time it comes 

 in bearing it, will turn up its toes. That is the way ours did. 

 Now in the nursery they didn't die but Hved and seemed all 

 right, but we cannot explain the difference; but it is there 

 and shows for itself. 



In regard to that Enghsh Morello, it will out-bear an^^ cherry, 

 Early Richmond and all; but it will not stand the amount of cold 

 weather w^e have had in the last two years, but if we don't have 

 that I will say it will out-bear any of them— even the Early 

 Richmond. We have proved it for years and years. It is the 

 heaviest bearer we have had. This very sort, the Montmorency 

 that Harrison speaks of, I think he will testify, it is the quahty 

 that is the best. I don't like the Enghsh Morello. The Enghsh 

 MoreUo will be aU right if we have the normal weather and it 

 will fruit heavy. But anybody growing it in large quantities 

 must expect it to die if we have much rain. 



Mr. Stephens: We are accustomed to regard the horticul- 

 tural portion of Nebraska, as confined to the eastern half of the 

 state; but there is a western portion of the state, and there the 

 Engilsh Morello is a very good fruit. There is one point I wish
