Cherry Trees 
S WEET CHERRY trees on the city lot often serve the double 
purpose of supplying fruit and shade. They grow to a good 
size and are shapely. The sour cherry trees are smaller and more 
branchy. Every farm and city home should have enough cherry 
trees to supply it for table and canning and sell the surplus.
