CHERRIES. 
The Cherry tree universally requires a dry soil, and is naturally a hardy tree, succeeding in the light¬ 
est soil or dryest situations. Many varieties of rapid growth with large, glossy leaves, lorming fine, pyra¬ 
mid-shaped heads, and producing large crops of luscious fruit; are well adapted for planting along the 
streets, or in yards as shade trees. 
By a proper selection of varieties, they may be profitably grown for market. Many trees produce 
from five to six bushels per tree. The fruit brings in market, one year with another, $2 to $3 per bushel.
