60 J. T, LOVETT CO— CHERRIES. 



CHERRIES. 



Plant Heart* and Bigarreaus 20 feet apart each, w ly, and Dukes and Morellos 12 to 15 feet. 

 Che- ries 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, each, 25c; dozen, $2.50; 10 o, $15.00.

CENTENNIAL. 



The most wonderful cherry 

 we have ever seen. The great 

 drawback to the cultme of the 

 cherry, especially Hearts and 

 Bigarreaus, is their perishable 

 nature — every light colored va- 

 riety in general cultivation be- 

 ing su'r ject to quick decay. The 

 Centennial, on the contrary, is 

 sd enduring in texture that it 

 can be kept in good condition 

 almost indefinitely. On two 

 occasions ripe specimens sent 

 us by mail from California were 

 not only received in good con- 

 dition, but remained so for 

 several days after arrival. Ripe 

 specimens have been kept in an 

 ordinary room for a month 

 after gathered and were still 

 in eating condition. In addi- 

 tion to its remarkable keeping 

 properties the fruit is of im- 

 mense size: beautiful amber shaded red, with very 

 firm yet tender flesh ;£sweet, rich and luscious. It 

 is a seedling of Napoleon Bigarreau, which it resembles in ap- 

 pearance 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 eating. Its sweetness is very 

 pronouueed, being exceedingly sugary . Ripens in midseason. 

 1st c. ea., 50c; doz., $5.00. 1 yr., ea., 35c; doz.. $3.50.

 hardy tree, and very prolific. Ripens three or four days after Tradescant's Black Heart. A valuable late 

 variety for both market and home use, and a fine addition to our list of cherries. 1st c, ea., 40c; doz., 

 $4.00; 100, $25.00.
