OF ALL the fruits, the Cherry is one of the tree fruits which serves a good purpose equally 
well in the dooryard, the fruit garden or commercial orchard. It is unequaled as an 
ornamental when in bloom, and its fruit is universally liked. The trees are of very easy 
culture, thriving well on almost any soil except that which is very wet, although doing its best 
in a well-drained loam. They are little subject to insects or disease, and require about the 
least pruning of any tree fruit.

lent liver-like consistency, rich, very 
little acid with a fine, mild flavor.

Connecticut Valley Orchard Co., of 
New Britain, report through their Mr. 
J. B. Smith: "We have 50 trees (Large 
Montmorency Cherry) that came into 
bearing last season and greatly hke the 
variety. Is large, of high color, late 
sour, and very productive. A fine tree, 
bearing its fruit not in clusters, but 
singly, and they grow -so thick that they 
can be picked cheaper than any other 
Cherry wo have."
