' SELECT CHERRIES. 



The Cherry likes a light, dry, gravelly soil, on which few other fruit trees 

 would succeed. Standard trees are admirably adapted for shade in gardens or 

 yards, where, at all stages of growth, they are exceedingly beautiful. Dwarf 

 trees, branched from the ground, are the most suitable for the fruit garden. 



Price — Standard trees (on Mazzard Stocks,) 25 to 50 cts. each. 

 Dwarf trees (on Mahaleb Stocks,) 25 to 40 cts. each.
