CHERRIES. 



Platit Hearts and Bigarreaiis 20 feet apart each luay ; Dukes and Morellos 12 to 75 feet. 



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

 even more unlike tiie class Duke 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, 40c.; doz., $4.00.

 mense size, a beautiful amber, shaded red, with
