CHERRIES 
For Home or Market 
Harrisons’ cherry trees are hardy, vigorous and bear great crops. 
Cherry trees should be largely planted. 
There is a world of difference in the growth and habits of sweet and 
sour Cherry trees. In general, it can be said that the sweet do best on 
high land and in mountainous districts, while the sour reach their great- 
est perfection down lower, and on lighter soil. If there is a choice, select 
a light loam, gravel or similar soil, although Cherries will thrive in any 
place that is not damp. They will not succeed to any extent in a seepy 
place that is not drained. 
The less Cherry trees are pruned, the better for them. It is necessary 
to cut back the trees at the start, and to shape the head while it is 
growing. Cut out limbs that cross each other, let in the sunlight, and 
remove dead limbs. That is about all that will be needed. Fruit is borne 
only on wood that is two or three years old. As for marketing, only a 
few words are to be said, yet these are of great importance. Remove all 
imperfect Cherries, then carefully pack the perfect ones. On almost any 
city market you can get splendid prices for good cherries. 
Sour Cherries 
A good cherry orchard is a very profitable investment, on account of 
the rapidly increasing demand for fruit juices, there is a great outlook 
for the cherry grower. Cherries are easy to grow and are very heavy 
annual bearers. We have a good supply of the leading varieties and 
they are priced in the reach of every grower.
