CHERRIES. 



Plant Hearts: ana' Bigarreauf^ 20 ft., atjart fach way, and Dukes and Morellos 12 to 15 ft. 

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

 more unlike the class Dukes and Morellos or "sour cherri^is" 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.

NEW VARIETIES, 



Centennial.— The most 

 wonderful cherry we have ever 

 seen. The great drawback to 

 the culture of the cherry, espec- 

 ially Hearts and Bigarreaus, 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 



\^ ^^SK^' S^^W\ \^l^!^'''Jli5^ '^'*^^ good condition almost indefl- 



Iw^ ^^^'^^y^iwi t))^''!^'^ "^^^^^ niteiy. On two occasions ripe 



specimens sent us by mail from 

 California were not only receiv- 

 ed in good condition, but re- 

 mained so for f-e^eral 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 

 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- 

 of 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 s very pronounced being 

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

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