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 Morellos have slender, spreading branches, and acid fruit invariably. These two classes ai-e peculiarly appro- 

 priate 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. 



Arcli Duke— Large ; bright red, but becomes very dark when fully ripe ; flesh melting, juicy, rich, sub-acid. Tree 

 rather more vigorous and upright than the May Duke : hardy and ])roUfic. Rii)e first and second weeks in July. 

 50c. 



Helle Magnifique— A magnificent, large, red, late cherry, excellent for cooking and flue for table when fully ripe ; 



rather acid, tender, juicy and rich. Tree a slow grower, but a most profuse bearer ; makes a ttne dwarf or 



pyramid on the Mahaleb. Last of July. Very valuable. 50c. 

 Early Riclimond— An eai'ly red, acid cherry ; very valuable for cooking early in the season. Ripens through .June.

 Empress Eugenie — Large, dark red ; flesh juicy, rich ; tree )'i)/jt(st, and moderately prodtictive. 60c.

Montmorency Large Fruited — Fruit large and one of the finest flavored in this class ; tree a free grower, hardy 

 and proliflc. 50c. 



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

DWARF PLUM TREES. 



These are adapted to garden culture. The trees furnished by us for this purpose are troni Twn to three feet in

DISEASES AND ENEMIES OF THE PLUM. 



The prevalence of the disease of the Plum, commonly called the "black knot," and of the Insect known as the 

 eurculio, has of late discouraged people generally from giving to the Plum its merited share of attention. It is not 

 to be denied that these are obstacles of considei-able magnitude to indifferent, slovenly cultivators; but we are
