CHERRIES. 
The Cherry requires a dry soil 
and is naturally a hardy tree, 
succeeding- in the lightest soil or 
driest location. The Heart or Big 
arreau varieties (those marked 
with a star) are of rapid growth, 
with large, glossy leaves, forming 
fine, pyramidal-shaped heads, and 
producing large crops of luscious 
fruit. They are well adapted for 
street or lawn planting for shade 
trees. The Dukes and Morellos 
generally produce acid fruit, do 
not attain so large a size, are 
generally hardier and the fruit 
better adapted for shipping pur- 
poses.

VljlHltnil* Another Russian variety of iron-clad con- 
V lauilllll . stitution. It comes from a district about 100 
miles east of Moscow, where immense tracts are planted with 
it, and train loads of fruit are annually sent to all parts of 
Russia. The fruit is as large or larger tha7\ the Early Rich- 
mond, with a very small pit. It is black in color with very 
highly colored juice; quite firm flesh of most delicious qual- 
ity. We consider it the most valuable acquisition in the cher- 
ry line ever introduced.
