SELECT GARDEN AND ORCHARD CHERRIES. 



Kinds marked d are of the Duke race ; h, of the Heart or Bigarreau ; M, of the Morella or Kentish. 



Those marked j> and M succeed and form beautiful and prolific Pyramids or Cordons ; they are also grand 

 Cherries for walls. If "very early" fruit is wanted plant on a S. or S.E. wall. On the other hand, if very 

 late fruit is required, plant on a North wall. Wall trees produce immense fruit for Exhibition or Dessert. The 

 Tartarian, Black Eagle, St. Margaret's, Blacks; and Napoleon, Governor Wood, Emperor Francis, Florence 

 and Bigarreau, White Cherries, are most desirable for keeping. 



It may be well to remark that the Heart Cherries (h) do not generally succeed as Pyramidal Trees, 

 being liable to gum under the severe pruning requisite to keep them in shape. If however they are partially 

 root pruned every year, and summer pinched, they can be grown well, when protected by netting. 



The culture of Cherries in a cheap cold house, constructed for the purpose, is both profitable and inter- 

 esting. Owing to the birds, it is seldom they are preserved until thoroughly ripe. Under house culture 

 Cherries attain a size and colour seldom seen, while the flavour is most delicious. All that is required is to 

 prevent aphides, keep the roots well supplied with water, admit fresh air freely, and syringe frequently in 

 the early stages of growth. 60 kinds can be seen in our Trial House.
