Wickson —The tree grows in vase form, sturdy and upright, yet as gracefully branching as 
could be desired, and is productive almost to a fault. The fruit is evenly distributed all 
over the tree, and from the time it is half grown until a few days before ripening is 
of a pearly white color, but all at once soft pink shadings creep over it, and in a few 
days it has changed to a glowing carmine with a heavy white bloom; the stone is 
small and the flesh is of fine texture, firm, sugary and delicious, and will keep two 
weeks or more after ripening, or can be picked when hard and white and will color and 
ripen almost as well as if left on the tree. Ripens about September 1st. 
Yellow Egg (Yellow Magnum Bonum)—Very large, egg-shaped; excellent for cooking; 
good and productive. Vigorous. Last of August.

CHERRIES 
The Cherry thrives best on a dry, sandy or gravelly soil, and there attains its highest 
perfection, but will 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 usually sour. 
HEART AND BIGARREAU CHERRIES 
Bing—Originated in Oregon. Fruit very large, dark brown turning to black when ripe 
and of the finest quality. One of the largest and most delicious sweet cherries grown. 
Tree a strong, stocky, thrifty grower with heavy foliage. Should be followed by 
Lambert which ripens later. 
Black Eagle—Large, black, tender, rich, juicy and high flavored. Tree a moderate grower 
and productive. Ripens beginning of July. 
Black Russian —Brought from Germany a few years ago. Hardy tree and a good sure 
bearer. Cherries large, black, and fine quality. 
Black Tartarian—Very large, bright purplish black; half tender, juicy, very rich, excellent 
flavor; productive. Free. First to middle of July. 
Dikeman—Sweet, dark. The latest dark colored cherry of medium size. Origin Michigan. 
Not inclined to decay, and keeps in perfect condition long after being picked. Its 
firm flesh and fine keeping qualities especially commend it as an orchard fruit.
