Cherries 
In planting a Cherry orchard care 
should be taken not to plant the 
trees too close together; select a dry 
soil for the Cherry, as a rule, ah 
though it is so hardy a tree that it 
will thrive in a great variety of soils, 
yet a good sandy or gravelly loam 
is best. Use same care in planting as 
other trees. 
Orchardists are resorting more 
and more to the planting of varieties 
of Cherries that are strong pollen- 
izers. Experience seems to demon¬ 
state that such varieties as Black 
Tartarian, Bing, and Schmidt’s Big- 
arreau are the best varieties to use 
for this purpose. Usually about one 
in every ten trees has proven to be 
the right proportion to use of these 
pollenizers.
