CHERRIES. 
Cherries thrive on almost any free- working, deep, sweet, well-drained 
soil, provided they have plenty of fresh air. When the soil is wet with 
w f te L as 111 low '.''"’g localities and in soils over an undrained 
ca> subsoil the trees are liable to gumming and various other diseases 
ont^ 3 " t atmosphere is almost equally injurious, and indeed the more 
open the situation, the more favourable it is to the cultivation of Cherries

should not be used however for Cherries upon a North wall. These 
manures after application, should be raked in to a depth of an inch or two. 
All Cherries grow well as a rule upon an East wall. Where early crops 
are wanted, a South wall is of course preferable. On a West wall, par- 
ticularly in a wet district, the fruit is liable to crack. F
