The Earliest Cherry 



By Jurther experiments in seleclive breeding. Mr. Bur- 

 bank has developed a cherry that is even earlier than the one that 

 bears his name. This new cherry is 0/ handsome form and color and a 

 profuse bearer, as the illustration shows. There is, oj course, a limit 

 to the development oj the habit oj early hearing, but what this limit 

 is can be determined only by long series oj experiments in 

 selective breeding. Mr. Burbank is constantly on the 

 lookout jor individual jruits that show peculiar 

 qualities, and these are carejully preserved 

 as material jor jurther experiments.
