BuddiBJT Cherry 



Baldwin Cherry — The tree is an upright grower, 

 more inclined to be round than otherwise; 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 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 i? 

 remarkable for earliuess, vigor, h^.rdiness, quality and 

 productiveness. Out of the S '0 cHerrj- 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 without knowing its supe- 

 rior merits. Originator's description. 



Price. 5 to 6 feet. 40c each ; $30.00 per hundred.
