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.

QUINCES 
They are very much used for jellies and preserves and for flavoring. They 
succeed best on soil that is moist and rich. They need severe pruning, cutting 
off nearly all the new growth, thereby forcing a lot of new growth from which it 
sends its blossom buds. Set 12 feet apart.
