Cherries 
Our cherry trees are budded on Mahaleb cherry stocks, which do not sprout from the 
roots. Care must be taken in planting that the trees are not planted too deep; one inch 
deeper than were budded is deep enough; should they be planted deeper than this the 
tree will be liable to throw out roots above where budded, and these roots, if broken, will 
throw up sprouts or suckers. 
Plant trees twenty feet apart, keep the main leaders headed back the first two or three 
years after transplanting. By so doing you will have fine bushy tops near the ground, 
which will be of great advantage in picking the fruit.

LARGE MONTMORENCY. 
The best of Montmorency fam¬ 
ily and equaled in value only 
by Early Richmond. The Mont¬ 
morency has all the good qual¬ 
ity of the Early Richmond, but 
ripens two weeks later. The 
fruit is identical with the 
Early Richmond. Some firms 
have put the Large Montmor¬ 
ency out under different names, 
but there is only one Large 
Montmorency, and we have the 
true strain. 
EARLY RICHMOND. The 
oldest and most reliable cherry 
tree grown today. It has 
proven its excellence for gen¬ 
erations for home and local 
consumption. There is nothing 
to take its place. Light red in 
color. Very juicy and acid 
flavor. It ripens about the 
first of June. It bears very 
heavy and will produce a crop 
oftener than any other variety 
known. When in doubt, plant 
the Early Richmond, as it does 
best in all climates or on any 
soil. 
ENGLISH MORELLO. Fruit 
large, very dark red, nearly 
black; tender, juicy, acid, rich, 
of good quality. Owing to its 
rich, red color, looks much bet¬ 
ter when canned than Early 
Richmond. Tree dwarf, slen¬ 
der and spreading, bears young. 
I would not advise planting 
this variety farther north than 
the middle of Nebraska. Rip¬ 
ens July.
