Cherries 
Our cherry trees are budded on Mahaleb cherry stocks, which do not sprout from the 
roots. Care must be taken in planting that the trees are not planted toe deep; one inch 
deeper than were budded is deep enough; should they be planted deeper than this the 
tree will be liable to throw out roots above where budded, and these roots, if broken, will 
throw up sprouts or suckers. 
Plant trees twenty feet apart, keep the main leaders headed back the first two or three 
years after transplanting. By so doing you will have fine bushy tops near the ground, 
which will be of great advantage in picking the fruit.

EARGE MONTMORENCY. The best of 
Montmorency family and equaled in value 
only by Early Richmond. The Montmor¬ 
ency has all the good quality of the Early 
Richmond, but ripens two weeks later. The 
fruit is identical with the Early Richmond. 
Some firms have put the Large Montmor¬ 
ency out under different names, but there 
is only one Large Montmorency and we 
have the true strain. 
EARLY RICHMOND. The oldest and 
most reliable cherry tree grown today. It 
has proven its excellence for generations 
for home and local consumption. There is 
nothing to take its place. Light red in 
color. Very juicy and acid flavor. It 
ripens about the first of June. It bears 
very heavy and will produce a crop oftener 
than any other variety known. When in 
doubt plant the Early Richmond, as it does 
best in all climates or on any soil. 
ENGBISH MORELLO. Fruit large, very 
dark red, nearly black; tender, juicy, acid, 
rich, of good quality. Owing to its rich, 
red color, looks much better when canned 
than Early Richmond. Tree dwarf, slender 
and spreading, bears young. I would not 
advise planting this variety farther north 
than the middle of Nebraska. Ripens July.

NAPOEEON BIGARREATX (Royal Ann). 
Magnificent cherry of largest size; pale 
yellow, amber in the shade, richly dotted 
deep red. Very firm, juicy and sweet. 
Rapid grower and immense bearer. Most 
popular for canning, preserving and ship¬ 
ping. Is hardiest and best yellow sweet 
sort. Immense market for the fresh fruit 
at top prices. Ripens end of June. 
LAMBERT. This very promising cherry 
is of the largest size, bright, rich, dark 
purplish-red color, turning almost jet black 
when ripe. Surface smooth, glossy, covered 
with minute russet dots. Flesh reddish 
with white veins; very firm of unsurpassed 
quality. Stands well in the lead as a ship¬ 
ping variety; tree healthy, rugged, strong 
grower, immense bearer. Ripens 10 days 
later than Napoleon Bigarreau. 
BLACK TARTARIAN. The genuine, old- 
fashioned Sweet Cherry. The fruit is very 
large, and very sweet, and almost black in 
color. Ripens in late June or early July.
