Cherries 
Cherry trees thrive on almost any soil which is well drained but not where 
water stands about the roots. Our stock of cherry trees for this year is especially 
fine. We know they will give far better results than any shipped in stock, 
following is a list of best out of many varieties: 
The 
Early Richmond. 
Iliililniii — Very large; dark red; round, 
and good. Tree vigorous and healthy; 
very resistant to leaf diseases. A prom- 
ising new variety. 
Dyehousc — Large, round; red, and good. 
Is slightly earlier than Richmond and 
much like it. 
English Morello — Almost identical with 
Wragg. One of the best of this class 
of cherries. 
Homer — Fruit large, dark red, and good; 
ripens about the same time as Richmond.

of the cherries and has been grown in 
Minnesota for many years where other 
varieties are too tender.

red; ten days later than Richmond.
