CHERRY TREES 
SUPERIOR QUALITY 
because 
They are all on Mazziard stocks which is much more expensive but the best, 
in fact, for sweet varieties the only one that is successful. The sour varieties also

SWEET CHERRIES 
ON MAZZARD ROOTS 
Sweet cherries are Hearts or Bigarreaus and are strong upright growers. Set 
36 feet apart. 
Our sweet cherries are budded on MAZZARD stock. Ninety per cent, of the 
cherries offered for sale are worked on Mahaleb and we have found such trees 
to be almost worthless and very short lived. 
Prove this by getting N. Y. Experiment Station Bulletin No. 544.
