48 THE KANSAS CHERRY. 



J. B. Saxe, Fort Scott, Bourbon county. — I have thirty cherry trees in bear- 

 ing; been planted five or six years; they are Black Morello and Early Richmond. 

 Morello is the best bearer. My soil is clay, nearly level. I planted my trees 

 about twenty feet apart. Have grown, budded and grafted my own trees. If 

 planting over, I would set out a half dozen Morello. My neighbors grow a few 

 cherries ; I do not consider them a good paying crop in this locality. 



S. F. C. Garri.soii, El Dorado, Butler county. — I have forty cherry trees in 

 bearing; been planted from ten to fifteen years. I find Early Richmond to be 

 the best bearer. My soil is upland, sloping to the east. Plant the trees 12x15 

 feet. If planting over, I would put out Early Richmond. I do not consider 

 them profitable in this locality. They are troubled with curculio, for which we 

 sometimes spray. I do not irrigate my trees. 



Dick May, Elk, Chase county. — I have fifteen cherry trees in bearing, 

 planted ten years ; they are Morello, which I find to be a good bearer. My soil 

 is second bottom, sloping to the east; plant my trees fifteen feet apart. Use all 

 the fruit at home. Have never grown, budded, or grafted my own trees. If 

 planting over I would set out Early Richmond. My neighbors are growing cher- 

 ries on a small scale; I consider them a good paying crop in this locality; they 

 are troubled with no insects. I do not irrigate. 



A. D. Arnold, Longford, Clay county. — I have six cherry trees in bearing; 

 been planted ten years; they are Early Richmond, Dye House, and Montmorency. 

 I consider cherries one of the surest and best paying crops in this locality. My 

 soil is a sandy loam, sloping west. I plant twenty feet apart. Have never budded, 

 grown, or grafted my own trees. If planting again I would put out Early Rich- 

 mond, Montmorency, and Dyehouse. Of these I planted fifty a year ago; they 

 have done extra well. Neighbors grow a few 'cherries. My cherries are not 

 troubled with any insects. Do not irrigate them. 



fJoliii Keert, Longford, Clay county. — I have only a few cherry trees in 

 bearing. The Early Richmond seems to be the best cherry for this locality. I 

 would advise all farmers in this vicinity to plant cherries of that variety. 



J. H. Bilsing', Udall, Cowley county. — I have sixty cherry trees in bearing, 

 which have been planted eighteen years: they are English Morello, Black Mo- 

 rello, Early Richmond, and Royal Duke. The best bearers are Early Richmond 

 and English Morello. My soil is loam intermixed with sand; it is level. Plant 

 my trees sixteen feet apart. Have grown, budded and grafted my own trees. 

 If planting over, I would set out Early Richmond, Royal Duke, Montmorency, 

 and English Morello. They should be well cultivated for several years after 

 planting. My neighbors grow a few cherries. I consider them a moderately- 

 paying crop in this locality. They are troubled with curculio, for which we do 

 nothing. Do not irrigate my cherry trees. 



J. H. Sayles, Norcatur, Decatur county. — I have 600 cherry trees in bear- 

 ing, planted in 1890, 1893, and 1891 : they are Early Richmond, Montmorency, 

 English Morello, Ostheim, Empress, Eugene, and two unknown kinds. Of these 

 the best bearers are English Morello, Montmorency, Early Richmond, Ostheim, 

 and Valdimir. My soil is rolling prairie, 170 feet to water, sloping to the north-
