CHERRIES. 



Plant Hearts and Bigarreaus 20 ft., apart each way. and Dukes and Morellos 12 to 15 ft. 

 Cherries will not succeed on wet soil. The class Hearts and Bigarreaus or "sweet cherries" are even 

 more unlike the class Dukes and Morellos or "sour cherries" in habit of tree and growth than in fruit. The 

 trees of the sweet class are to be preferred for shade, for which purpose they are excellent. 



First class, ea., 25c; doz., S2.50; 100, $15.00.

NEW VARIETIES. 



Centennial.— The most 

 wonderful^cherry we have ever 

 seen. The great drawback to 

 the culture of the cherry, espec-. 

 ially Hearts andjBigarreaus, is 

 their perishable .'nature — every 

 light colored variety in general 

 cultivation being subject to 

 quick decay. The Centennial, 

 on the contrary, is so enduring 

 In texture that it can be kept In 

 good condition almost indefi- 

 nitely. On two occasions ripe 

 specimens sent us by mail from 

 California were not only receiv- 

 ed in good condition, but re- 

 mained so for .<.everal days af- 

 ter arrival. Ripe specimens have 

 been kept in an ordinary room 

 for a month after gathered and 

 were still in eating condition. 

 In addition to its remarkable 

 keeping properties, the fruit is of immense size, 

 beautiful amber shaded red with very firm yet ten- 

 der flesh; sweet, rich and luscious. It is a seedling 

 Napoleon Bigarreau which it resembles in appearance but Is 

 much larger and more oblate in form. Tree an extra good, 

 straight and handsome grower. No other cherry can compare 

 with it for canning. Its sweetness is very pronounced being 

 exceedingly sugary. Its crispness and honied sweetness make it a desirable table fruit, but its great value 

 Is in its firmness which makes it probably the best shipping cherry yet introduced. Ripens in midseason. 

 1st el., ea., 75c; doz., $7.50. 1 yr., ea., 50c; doz., $5.00. 



Ostheim.— A German cherry somewhat resembling the Russian Vladimer. especially in foliage, habit 

 of growth and color of fruit. Large; red, when fully ripe a dark red; flesh red, tender, juicy, pleasant. Tree 

 exceedingly hardy; a vigorous grower and productive. 1st cl., ea., 35c; doz., $3.50.
