South American Cherries 



Much of Mr. Burbank's success has been due, as the reader 



is aware, to the hybridizing of plants brought from different 



geographical localities. This picture shows a South American cherry 



that has been used in the course of the crossbreeding and hybridizing 



experiments through which Mr. Burbank's many varieties of perfected 



cherries have been developed. It will be seen that the South 



American cherry differs quite widely in appearance as 



well as in the foliage from the ordinary 



cherry of the northern hemisphere.
