Cherries 
Montmorency 
There are few more desirable fruits than 
cherries. Of the sweet varieties, the Napo- 
leon and Windsor are among the best for 
market purposes, and of the sour varieties 
the Montmorency is most profitable. Cherries 
require warm, dry soil. No other fruit is so 
injured by excessive moisture.

juicy, rich and high flavored; tree vigorous, 
productive. July 1st to 15th.

dium-sized, heart-shaped; skin glossy, deep 
black, flesh tender, juicy, sweet. Early July.

ning and profitable for market. Ripens

all hardy cherries for market and home use.
