CHEERY VARIETIES 321 



In this list of varieties, too long for any one 

 planter to attempt to grow, I have but touched 

 upon the field of variation in the cherry. 

 There are many other sorts that I could write 

 about, but the hour grows late and the candle 

 is burned almost to its holder. For one 

 who seeks to know all there is to know about 

 this tempting fruit I would refer to Professor 

 U. P. Hedrick's splendid monograph, The Cher- 

 ries of New York. There he will find some 

 hundreds of varieties discussed at length and 

 color plates that will ''make his mouth water" 

 with their realism. — A book to dream over on 

 the long winter evenings when the wind howls 

 about the hilltops and we plan our orchards 

 of a future day.
