CHERRIES 
There are few more desirable trees than the Cherry. 
It may be planted near the street or used ornamentally for 
avenues, and it will produce an abundance of delicious 
fruit. This may be eaten out of the hand, preserved, or 
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. The Heart and Bigarreau, or sweet 
sorts, will successfully resist very cold weather and may 
be grown in most places.
