Cherries for the Market 
While the cherry tree is of rather slow growth it is so sturdy and hardy and bears for so 
many years a large, bountiful crop under the most adverse conditions, that a few of them are the 
most valuable tree that a home man can plant. Where room is available a few of the sweet varie¬ 
ties are very desirable, but owing to their uncertain cropping, sour varieties should also be included 
among the selections. Sweet varieties thrive only in favored localities, also they require particular 
care and attention, especially in spraying. But the sour cherry can be grown almost anywhere, making 
a fine ornamental windbreak. It gives satisfaction in the home garden, and offers great possibilities 
for profit for the grower who supplies the local markets.
