VARIETIES FOR CULTIVATION 

 ON THE QUINCE 



The following varieties are particularly recommended for 

 cultivation on the quince. All are vigorous and handsome 

 growers, hardy, and bear well. We might add many others 

 which appear to suceed well on the quince with fair treat-

 after being many years planted. The following, however, 

 cannot fail to make durable and satisfactory trees.

 phine of Malines.

SELECT CHERRIES 



The Cherry succeeds well on dry soils, and is susceptible of being trained in any form that taste or 

 circumstances may require. 



For orchards where there is ample room for large trees, and in climates where it is not subject to the 

 bursting of the bark, standards with four or five feet of clean trunk are preferable. 



For door-yards, where shade and ornament are taken into account, standards of the free growing sorts, 

 with erect habit and large foliage, are the most suitable. 



Grade. We offer but one grade of Cherry trees, viz., first class or No. 1, as follows: Sweet cherries, 

 average 5 to 6 feet in height ; Sour cherries, average 4 to 5 feet in height. 



Prices. 25 trees of one variety will be furnished at the 100 rate. 5 trees of one variety will be furnished 

 at the 10 rate. The quantity which can be supplied is indicated by the price.
