Cherries for Home or Market 
It may be said that as a general proposition Sweet Cherries will be 
most successful on high land and in mountainous districts, while Sour 
Cherries reach their 
greatest perfection on 
lower levels and in lighter 
soil. In either place it 
will be well to select, if 
possible, a light loam, 
gravel, or similar soil, 
although cherries will 
thrive in any place that 
isnotdamp. The planter 
should bear in mind that 
success with cherries can- 
not be attained in a 
place that is not well 
drained. 
Cherry trees do not re- 
quire any great amount 
of pruning. It is neces- 
sary to cut back the 
trees immediately after 
planting, and to shape 
the head while the trees 
are growing; limbs that 
cross each other should 
be cut out to let in the 
sunlight, and, of course, 
all dead limbs should be 
removed. It is impor- 
tant to remember that 
the fruit is borne only on 
wood that is two or three 
years old. Cherries are 
AE not seriously affected by 
Richmond Cherries insects or fungous dis- 
eases; the various sprays 
needed are given in the section devoted to spraying, pages 9 to 11. 
Cherries that are properly and attractively packed usually sell for 
good prices. It is extremely important that imperfect specimens 
be removed and that the fruit be packed carefully so that it will 
arrive in good condition.
