Cherries 
There are few more desirable trees than the Cherry. It may be 
planted near the street or used ornamentally for avenues. It will pro¬ 
duce an abundance of delicious fruit. This may be eaten out of the hand, 
preserved, or will find a ready market at highly profitable prices for ship¬ 
ping, canning, etc. The trees thrive in any well-drained location. The 
Duke and Morello, or acid varieties, are thoroughly hardy. The Heart 
and Bigarreau, or sweet sorts, will resist very cold weather successfully 
and may be grown in most places.
