CHERRIES. 



There are few more desirable trees than the cherry. It may be planted near the 

 street or used to line avenues as an ornament, and it will at the same time produce an 

 abundance of delicious fruit. This may be eaten out of hand, preserved, or it will find a 

 very ready market at highly profitable prices, for shipping, canning, etc. The trees 

 thrive in any well-drained location. The Duke and Morello, or acid varieties, are 

 thoroughly hardy, while the Heart and Bigarreau, or sweet sorts, will successfully resist 

 very cold weather, and may be grown in most places.
