THE CHERRY 



Good providers consider a home orchard 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. 



BALDWIN CHERRY— The tree is aa upright grower, more inclined to be round than other- 

 wise; a very rank vigorous 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 

 8ub-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 earliness, 

 vigor, hardiness, quality and productiveness. 

 Out of the 800 cherry trees I have in hear- 

 ing 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. Jt is 

 a tree to command atfention, and is so dis- 

 tinct as to attract comments from many 

 upon seeing it without knowing ijs superior 

 merits. The original tree was planted eight 

 years ago, and has fruited now five years, 

 and the tree is now at 'east one-third 

 larger than any Earlv Richmond of the 

 same age. Originatoi's description. Price 

 $1 each, $10 per dozen.
