Sour Cherries 
Dyehouse. A hardy and valuable cherry. 
■ The earliest cherry of fine qual¬ 
ity. Often bears at two years old, and has the 
appearance of being covered with a purple 
cloth, such is the abundance of the fruit. Has 
the smallest pit of any cherry known. For 
tarts, pies and especially for canning it has 
no superiors among cherries. Early June. 
Early Richmond. This is one of the most 
---- valuable and popular 
cherries and is unsurpassed for cooking pur¬ 
poses. This hardy cherry fruits on young trees 
soon after planting. It is a good old variety 
that yields such marvelous crops in the gar¬ 
dens. The most hardy of all varieties, unin¬ 
jured by the coldest winters. Tree slender in 
growth, with a roundish spreading head ex¬ 
ceedingly productive. Fruit is medium size, 
round and dark red. The flesh tender, juicy, 
and sub-acid. Ripens in June. 
English Morello. Without doubt one the 
--- most valuable of this 
class. Easily grown, generally producing a 
heavy crop. Fruit dark red, quality good, 
with a rich, acid flavor; late. Tree very 
hardy, for extremely cold latitudes. August. 
May Duke. Large, red ; juicy and rich ; an 
old, excellent variety ; vigorous, productive. 
June 15. 
Montmorency . A beautiful, large, red 
cherry ; much larger and 
firmer than Early Richmond, and fully ten 
days later in ripening. Being extraordinarily 
prolific and very hardy, it can be recommended 
as a variety of great value. Valuable for can¬ 
ning and preserving. A patron writes that six 
years ago he planted fifty Montmorency cherry 
trees from which he has just harvested $150 
worth of fruit. One acre of Montmorency cher¬ 
ries, owned by a neighbor, has returned an 
average annuity of over $600 for the last ten 
years. This cherry is in great favor wherever 
cherries are grown. With such a heavy de¬ 
mand for this variety, we would suggest that 
you order early. Last of June. 
Olivet . A new Duke of French origin. Unlike 
most others of this class, it is said to be very 
early and to ripen over a long period. Fruit 
very large. June. 
Ostheime, Ahardy cherry from Russia. It has 
been tested in the severest winters of Minne¬ 
sota, and has been found perfectly hardy. 
Fruit large. July 15th. 
Wragg. Much like English Morello. More 
- productive and excels in size, yield 
and quality. One of the hardiest Cherries and 
has produced annual crops at the northern¬ 
most limit of Cherry culture. August. 
Sweet Cherries 
Black Tartarian . This fine old variety 
■ -produces immense 
crops of very large, purplish black fruits of 
mild, sweet, jelly-like consistency. The tree 
makes a beautiful, erect growth. Late June 
and early July. 
Bing. This valuable new b]ack cherry suc- 
-- ceeds everywhere. Tree very thrifty 
and upright grower, very hardy and produc¬ 
tive, flesh very solid, flavor of the highest 
quality, a fine shipping and market variety. 
It is one of the most delicious sweet cherries. 
This valuable cherry should be followed by
