TREES 
CHERRIES 
In planting a Cherry orchard care should be taken 
not to plant trees too close together; select a dry soil 
for the Cherry, as a rule, although it is so hardy a 
tree it will thrive in a great variety of soil, yet a 
good sandy or gravelly loam is best. Use same care in 
planting as other trees. 
Orchardists are resorting more and more to the 
planting of varieties of Cherries that are strong pol- 
lenizers. Experience seems to demonstrate that such 
varieties as Black Tartarian, Black Republican, and 
Centennial are the best varieties to use for this pur¬ 
pose. Usually about one in every ten trees has proven 
to be the right proportion to use of these pollenizers. 
SPECIAL—We have to offer this season, a limited 
number of cherry trees suitable for small homes or on 
city lots where space is limited. A cherry tree top 
grafted, two or more kinds to same trunk, priced as 
follows. 
Might say here, that where there are cherry trees 
nearby the combination with pollenizer is not neces¬ 
sary, as two or more sweet cherries will cross pollen- 
ize themselves.
