SELECT CHERRIES 
Of recent years this fruit has been in greater demand than any other class of fruit, 
and probably will so continue for years to come. Those engaged in fruit growing on 
favorable soils will do well to plant liberally of this fruit. Cherries are an excellent 
yard fruit, and return good profits when sold at market. It is not unusual for an acre 
of trees in full bearing to yield from $50 to $300 worth of fruit in a single season. 
Cherry trees are, as a rule, short lived. They actually bear themselves to death. 
Cherries will thrive on any good, well-drained upland. We have quite a number of 
new varieties on trial and in due time doubtless will have something good to offer. 
The following described varieties we have found to be the best out of a long list. 
In wet seasons the last three varieties of our list are subject to leaf diseases; there- 
fore should only be planted on high, well drained land and in excessively moist seasons 
be frequently sprayed with Bordeaux Mixture (see spraying directions on Calendar in 
back of catalogue) to prevent the development of any leaf disease. 
Where these varieties can be successfully grown they produce the most salable 
and best fruit of any in the list.
