CHERRIES 
The growing of sour cherries is becoming an important industry. The 
cherry is a regular bearer, hardy and well adapted to the soil and climatic 
conditions of the county. With the establishment of canneries, there is a 
steady demand for the fruit at attractive prices. 
The limited available acreage around Canon City will prevent exten- 
sive planting of this fruit, but the Penrose district will undoubtedly in the 
near future develop into an important sour cherry-growing section.
