Standards are budded on the Muzzard stock, and the others on the .}falt,i!rl,, or St. Li»-i<; 

 the latter serves the same purpose for the cherry that the quince does for the pear, and 

 the paradise for the apple. It makes the trees smaller and more prolific, and besides it. 

 may be root-pruned, like an apple or pear tree, in cases of superabundant vigW of growth. 

 It will also Honri.-h on many soils r.ot adapted to the Mazzard stock. Our trees are grown 

 upon dry and moderately rich soil, consequently the wood is well ripened and will bear 

 transplanting into any climate. It should be understood that cherry trees forced into an 

 excessive growth, by damp soils or powerful manures, cannot even stand the winter in the 

 nursery with safety, while transplanting is almost certain death to them. Purchasers will 

 do well to consider this.
