CHERRIES. 
The Cherry likes a dry soil, and not over rich. A sandy or gravelly 
loam is good. In this latitude we consider low heads much better than 
high, on account of the liability of the trunk of the tree when bare of limbs 
to crack. Trees worked on Mahaleb stock, i. e. Dwarfs, we regard as in 
almost all cases preferable. Many of the finer kinds, being rapid growers, 
and highly beautiful in their forms, are often obtained for shade and orna- 
ment, as well as for their refreshing fruit. Persons desiring them tor this 
double purpose, will be advised by us cheerfully as to the selection of kinds 
most appropriate. 
Heart and Bigarreau Cherries. 
Heart Cherries are distinguished by the fruit being heart shaped, with 
sweet tender flesh ; tree of a rapid, upright growth and large drooping 
foliage ; the Bigarreaus, by the firm flesh of the fruit, and spreading 
habit of the tree. Those with a * prefixed arc names of Bigarreau sorts.
