THE CHERRY. 



Good providers consider a home or- 

 chard or garden incomplete without its 

 proportion of cherry trees, it being- one of 

 the most profitable domestic and market 

 fruits, succeeding on most any kind of soil 

 that is not wet. 



BAL,DWIN CHERRY— The tree is 

 an upright grower, more inclined to be 

 round than otherwise ; a very rank vigor- 

 ous grower; leaves rather broad; bloom 

 pure white, which turns to a pink color 

 similar to the hydrangea; fruit very large, 

 almost perfectly round; very dark, yet 

 almost transparent; flavor slightly sub- 

 acid, yet the sweetest and richest of the 

 Morello type ; stems rather large, medium 

 length, more inclined to grow in pairs 

 than clusters. It is remarkable for earli- 

 ness^ vigor, hardiness, quality and pro- 

 ductiveness. Out of 800 cherry trees I 

 have in bearing it is the most thrifty and 

 beautiful tree I have in the lot, and yet 

 has only had the same care and attention 

 as the others. It is a tree to command 

 attention, and is so distinct as to attract 

 comments from many upon seeing it with- 

 out knowing its superior merits. The 

 orisrinal tree was planted eight years ago, 

 and has fruited now five years, and the 

 tree is now at least one-third larger than 

 any Early Richmond of the same age.
