CHERRIES 
Cherry Trees are a real asset to any home! Big, sweet, luscious 
cherries—fresh from the tree—will be appreciated by the whole 
family. 
Growing Demand. No fruit surpasses the cherry and few ap¬ 
proach it. Cherries are a luxury within reach of everyone owning a 
city lot or acreage. They are easily grown, stand shipment well, 
are practically free from disease, and there is a growing demand for 
them at good prices. 
Attractive as well as profitable. Cherries, both sweet and sour 
varieties, are well adapted to climate and soil conditions of the 
Pacific Coast. Sweet cherry trees being large, symmetrical growers 
are very ornamental. Unlike many other fruit trees they can be 
planted to advantage about the home grounds as shade trees. When 
planted along boundary or property lines, or used along driveways 
they are attractive and profitable. A very few cherry trees will pay 
all your taxes. 
Sweet Cherries thrive best in free, deep, well-drained soil in 
which water does not stand close to the surface of the ground. 
Though sensitive to soil that is too wet, the cherry is particular 
about its water supply and its requirements are greater than those 
of some other trees. 
Planting Distances. All varieties of Sweet Cherries are large, 
vigorous growers. Ample space should be allowed so that when 
reaching maturity and their best productive period the trees will 
not be crowded. Thirty feet apart is a good distance, although 
thirty-five feet apart is better. 
Sour Cherries. The best planting distance is 20 feet, which by the 
“square” system of planting provides 108 trees per acre. Some suc¬ 
cessful cherry orchards have been planted 18 feet and some 22 feet, 
but for average conditions 20 feet will be found to provide the maxi¬ 
mum number of trees per acre and allow ample room for develop¬ 
ment of the trees.

Pacific Coast climate ideal for cherries. There are two classes of 
cherry trees, sweet and sour. Sweet cherries are not so hardy as the 
sour varieties and are more sensitive to soils, temperatures, etc. The 
sour cherries succeed almost anywhere. In the mild climate of the 
Pacific Coast both types may be planted with safety in most all 
localities. 
BING. One of the best and most delicious cherries. The color is 
deep dark red, nearly black; meat firm, sweet and exceedingly well 
flavored. Almost unequaled in size, attractiveness and quality. Fruit 
hangs on the trees well and ripens uniformly so that the crop can 
be taken at one picking. Bing is one of the best market and ship¬ 
ping varieties and without superior for dessert use. 
BLACK REPUBLICAN. The flavor is rich, the flesh firm and 
quality good. Black Republican is often used as pollenizer for such 
sweet varieties as Bing, Lambert and Royal Ann. 
BLACK TARTARIAN. Pollenizer. Very large, bright purplish 
black; half tender, juicy, very rich, excellent flavor; productive. 
Free. First or middle of July. 
ROYAL ANN. Large, light yellow with red cheek. Ranks among 
the best sweet cherries because of its large size, handsome appear¬ 
ance and high quality. Royal Ann is excellent for dessert and the 
leading sweet canning cherry. A very desirable orchard sort. 
LAMBERT. A very large, heart-shaped cherry with firm flesh 
and rich, sweet flavor. A fine shipper and takes first rank for com¬ 
mercial production. Is said to be somewhat less productive than 
Bing, but ripens later which distributes the picking season in com¬ 
mercial orchards. Fruit sets in large clusters, often a dozen or more 
cherries to the spur. Lambert is one of the finest sweet cherries 
grown and can be highly recommended for commercial orchards and 
home use. Is said to be less subject to frost injury at blossom time 
than some of the other sweet varieties. 
GOV. WOOD. One of the best cherries; light yellow marbled with 
red; juicy, rich and delicious. Tree healthy and a great bearer. 
Hangs well on the tree. Vigorous. Last of June. Pollenizer. 
CENTENNIAL. Large, yellow, good pollenizer for Royal Ann. 
LONG STEM WATERHOUSE. Medium, resembles Royal Anne, 
pollenizer. 
DEACON. Large, black, good pollenizer.
