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. 



For fridt gardens, and particularly those of moderate extent, and in localities where the bark of the 

 trunk is liable to burst, the pyramidal or conical trees, dwarf or low standards, with two or three feet of 

 trunk, and the dwarfs, branching within a foot of the ground, are the most appropriate and profitable.

 spreading, and foliage luxuriant, soft and drooping.

 licious; one of the best, most beautiful and popular of all light-colored cherries. End of 

 June. 50c. 



DUKE AND MORELLO CHERRIES 



These two classes of cherries are very distinct from the preceding. The trees are of smaller size, and grow more slowly; 

 the leaves are thicker and more erect, and of a deeper green. The fruit is generally round, and in color varying from light 

 red to dark brown. The Dukes have stout, erect branches usually, and some of them, like Reine Hortense, quite sweet 

 fruit ; while the IMorellos have slender, spreading branches, and acid fruit invariably. These two classes are peculiarly ap- 

 propriate for dwarfs and pyramids, on the Mahaleb stock, and their hardiness renders them well worthy of attention in 

 localities where the Heart and Bigarreau are too tender. 



Early Richmond — An early red, acid cherry ; very valuable for cooking early in the season. Ripens 

 through June. Tree a free grower, hardy, healthy, and very productive. 50c. 



May Duke — An old, well known, excellent variety; large; dark red; juicy, sub-acid, rich. Middle of 

 June. 50c. 



Montmorency Ordinaire — A beautiful, large, red, acid cherry; larger and finer than Early Rich- 

 mond, and fully ten days later. Being extraordinarily prolific and very hardy, it can be recom- 

 mended as a variety of great value. Valuable for canning and preserving. Tree a free 

 grower. 50c.
