CHERRIES. 
Price, 50 Cents Each. 
The Cherry is the most delicious, early froit, and is of the easiest possible cultivation. It suc- 
ceeds well in almost any soil, but a light, dry loam is most suitable. Distance, for the Heart, 
Bigarreau, and such fast growing sorts, twenty to twenty-five feet ; for Morello, &c. ; being of low 
growth, from fifteen to eighteen feet. 
Cherries should always be allowed to ripen fully, before picked for the dessert, otherwise their del- 
icacy and fine flavor are lost. Birds, in some places are troublesome : for this we have found, by 
experience, one great remedy, viz : planting trees enough to allow the birds their share and hate 
enough left for ourselves.
