Cherries. 
The Cherry tree universally requires a dry soil, and is 
naturally a hardy tree, succeeding in the lightest soil or 
dryest situations. The Heart and Bigarreau varieties 
are of rapid growth, with large, glossy leaves, forming 
fine pyramidal-shaped heads, and producing large crops 
of luscious fruit; are well adapted for planting along 
streets, or in yards as shade trees. 
Dikeman. 
This is a black Cherry of the Bigarreau type and 
ripens at a time when Sweet Cherries are very scarce, 
hence commands a good market price. It is unex- 
celled as a producer; fruit very firm, shipping and keep- 
ing so remarkably well that these qualities will make it 
a favorite among growers. In color, sweetness and 
size we know of nothing to compare with it. The orig- 
inal tree is said to have produced from 10 to 12 bushels 
of fruit last season. The fruit was on exhibition at the 
New York State Fair in 1897, attracting the attention 
and admiration of all. Price, x-year trees, 50 cts.
