Cherries 
The Cherry thrives best on a dry, sandy or 
gravelly soil, and there attains its highest per¬ 
fection, but will do well in almost any situa¬ 
tion 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 burst¬ 
ing the bark; their fruit is usually sour. 
For dry soils we rate the Cherry, and par¬ 
ticularly the Morello class, one of the most 
profitable fruits grown. The Hearts and Bigar¬ 
reaus are profitable for home market, but for 
shipping (except the Dikeman) the Dukes and 
Morellos carry the best and yield the largest 
returns. Ordinary well-grown trees produce 
from five bushels per tree upwards; the fruit 
brings, one year with another, two to three 
dollars per bushel. Plant 16 to 18 feet apart. 
Strong, selected trees, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., 
$40 per 100

flavored.

Cherry; of splendid flavor. 
Downer’s Late Red. Sweet and delicious. Not

Dikeman. The gem among Cherries has the 
advantage of being the latest ripening 
sweet Cherry known; hence, placed on the 
market two or three weeks after other 
sorts are gone, it commands highest price. 
Black, good size, and in texture being 
meaty and solid; is a good shipper. 
Governor Wood. Large white Cherry, shaded
