THE CHERRY 



The cherry succeeds on most soils and in nearly all localities throughout this country, but attains its 

 greatest perfection upon those of a light, gravelly or sandy nature, provided they are in good condition.

 er; hangs well on the tree; vigorous.

 ber, with bright red blush; flesh firm, 

 juicy, delicious; profitable for market;

 lent; good bearer. Early.

Engflisli Morello. — Large; dark purplish red; very

 required. June. 



Reine Eortense. — Very fine, large, bright rp-^ 

 juicy, delicious and productive. July. 



Wrag-gf. — Claimed to be much hardier than Eng- 

 lish Morello, otherwise it seems to be an exact 

 duplicate of that variety. July.
