Cherries 
Montmorency 
There are few more desirable fruits than 
cherries. Of the sweet varieties, the Napo¬ 
leon and Windsor are among the best for 
market purposes, and of the sour varieties 
the Montmorency is most profitable. Cherries 
require warm, dry soil. No other fruit is so 
injured by excessive moisture. 
Black Eagle —Large, black, very tender, 
juicy, rich and high flavored; tree vigorous, 
productive. July 1st to 15th. 
Black Heart —Black Ox-heart. Fruit me¬ 
dium-sized, heart-shaped; skin glossy, deep 
black, flesh tender, juicy, sweet. Early July. 
Black Tartarian —Very large, bright purp¬ 
lish black; half tender, juicy, very rich, excel¬ 
lent. Vigorous and productive. Last of June 
or July. A general favorite. 
Governor Wood— Very large; rich light 
yellow, with red cheek, juicy, sweet, one of 
the very best. Late June. 
Napoleon Bigarreau —Very large, pale yel¬ 
low or red, very firm, juicy and sweet, vigor¬ 
ous and very productive. One of the best. 
Early July. 
Schmidt's Bigarreau —Fruit of immense 
size, rich, deep black; flesh dark, tender, very 
juicy, with a fine flavor; bears abundantly. 
Windsor—New, originated in Canada. Fruit 
large, liver-colored; flesh remarkably firm and 
fine. Tree hardy and very prolific. A valu¬ 
able late variety for market and family use. 
English Morello—Medium to large, blackish 
red, rich acid, juicy, good, very productive. 
Early Richmond—This is a hardy cherry, 
fruiting on young trees soon after planting 
and bearing regularly every year enormous 
loads of dark red fruit that does not rot upon 
the trees, can be left without picking longer 
than most varieties. Unsurpassed for can¬ 
ning and profitable for market. Ripens 
through June. 
Large Montmorency —The most popular of 
all hardy cherries for market and home use. 
This cherry is planted largely. The fruit is 
in great demand. It is of large size, light 
red in color; stem rather short. The trees 
bear fruit soon after planting. 
The Cherry is the most 
profitable fruit grown. 
There is a large demand 
for them.
