CHERRIES OF QUALITY 
Mazzard root /or Sweet Cherry. We are one of the few who can supply them. Do you remember 
yearn ago that the old time Sweet Cherry trees did so much better than they do now ? Have 
you heard fruit growers wonder at it? Do you know the reason! It is because years ago the 
Sv/eet Cherry, in fact all cherry, were budded on Mazzard roots. Then the Mahaleb root came 
into vogue and its use became general because it was so much easier to bud successfully than the 
Mazzard. And it proved to be a better stock for the sour varieties, but not so for the sweets. 
Yet it was adopted almost universally as a stock for the Cherry, both sweet and sour and that 
practice is in use today in almost all the nurseries of the country. A Sweet Cherry tree can be 
produced much cheaper on a Mahaleb root than on a Mazzard but it is not worth one-fourth as 
much. We have made a practice to grow a limited number of Sweet Cherry on Mazzard roots 
each year for the benefit of our customers who wanted them. If you wish them you must specify 
Mazzard roots and send in your order early, and observe that we cannot furnish them at the 
same price as we ask for ordinary Sweet Cherries which are on Mahaleb roots. 
The Cherry thrives best on a dry, sandy or gravelly soil, and there attains its highest perfection, 
but v/ill do well in almost any situation except a wet one. We divide them into two classes: (1) 
Hearts and Bigarreaus; (2) Dukes and Morellos. The former are strong and vigorous growers, 
making large, open, spreading heads; their fruit is large, heart shaped, meaty and sweet. The 
Dukes and Morellos do not attain so large size, but are more hardy and less liable to injury from 
bursting the bark; their fruit is acid or sub-acid.
