CHERRIES 
A Fruit That Makes 
Profits for Growers 
A good cherry orchard is 
one of the most profitable 
ventures a farmer can un¬ 
dertake. With but little care, 
the trees are very thrifty 
and prolific, bearing large 
crops annually. 
The compact shapeliness 
of Cherry trees, their glossy 
foliage, and spring glory of 
clustered blossoms, gives them ornamental value even 
in the lawn. 
The trees are naturally hardy, succeeding best on 
sandy or gravelly loam, well drained. Avoid low or 
wet ground. 
Sweet varieties grow more rapidly and make larger 
pyramidal trees. Set trees 18 to 20 feet apart. The 
Sour varieties are dwarf and bushy, bear earlier, and 
are more largely planted. Set trees 15 to 18 feet apart.
