CHERRY CULTURE. All our cultivated 

 cherries appear to be derived, by the aid 

 yf various crosses, from Cc'rasusdura'cina, 

 Tulia'na, and capronia'na.

. For Standards take Nos. 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 ; 

 these, however, are equally adapted for 

 walls. For forcing take the Early Duke. 

 This is so well adapted, both on account 

 of its earliness and fine bearing, that few 

 of the other kinds are ever used for this 

 purpose. Some of the others would suc- 

 ceed very well, and the Tartarian has 

 been pointed to by some as very eligible. 



In addition to the above the following 

 are in good repute : Werder's Black 

 Heart; Black Eagle; Bigarreau; Tarta- 

 rian ; Downton ; and the new kind, Heine 

 Hortense. 



Propagation. Both budding and graft- 

 ing are resorted to; the former is the 

 safest plan to avoid gum. The stocks used 

 are those of the wild cherry for ordinary 

 standards, or wall-trees ; but, for a dwarf- 

 ing-system, it has become customary, of 

 late, to use the Ce'rasus Maha'leb, or 

 Perfumed Cherry so called on account 

 of the agreeable perfume emitted by the 

 wood whilst burning. In France this is 

 called Bois de St. Lucia, and this has 

 long been used as stocks. In addition to 

 its promoting a dwarf habit, it is said to 

 be adapted to very ordinary soils, totally 

 unfit for the common cherry-stock. It is 

 the usual practice to obtain the Mahaleb 

 from layers ; but no doubt cuttings will 

 answer equally well. The ordinary 

 cherry-stocks are raised from seed, gene- 

 rally obtained from trees of the same 

 kind. They are preserved in sand through 

 the winter, and sown in February. Care 

 must be taken to preserve, them from the 

 mice. They may be transplanted, in the 

 following October, in rows two feet apart 

 in the row. For dwarfs they may b* 

 budded the following season; but, if
