CHERRIES—BIGARREAUS —Continued 
Yellow Spanish. Large; pale yellow, with bright 
red cheek in the sun; firm, juicy, and delicious; 
one of the best, most beautiful and popular of 
all light-colored cherries. End of June. 50c 
each. 10 for $4.00. 
DUKES AND MORELLOS 
These two classes of cherries are very distinct from the 
preceding. The trees are of smaller size, and grow more 
slowly; the leaves are thicker and more erect, and of a deeper 
green. The fruit is generally round, and in color varying from 
light red to dark brown. The Dukes have stout, erect branches 
usually, and some of them, like Reine Hortense, quite sweet 
fruit; while the Morellos have slender, spreading branches, 
and acid fruit invariably. Their hardiness renders them well 
worthy of attention in localities where the Heart and 
Bigarreau are too tender. 
Early Richmond. An early red, acid cherry ; very 
valuable for cooking early in the season. Ripens 
through June. A free grower, hardy, healthy, 
and very productive. 50c each. 10 for $4.00. 
May Duke. An old, well known, excellent variety; 
large; dark red; juicy, sub-acid, rich. Middle 
of June. 50c each, 
Montmorency Ordinaire. A beautiful, large, red, 
acid cherry; larger and finer than Early Rich¬ 
mond, and fully ten days later. Being extra¬ 
ordinarily prolific and very hardy, it can be 
recommended as a variety of great value. Val¬ 
uable for canning and preserving. A free grower.

tender, juicy, acid, rich. Dwarf and slender.

red; tender, juicy, nearly sweet, and delicious. 
50c each. 
YELLOW SPANISH 
SELECT PLUMS 
The prevalence of the disease of the Plum commonly called the “black knot,’’ and of the insect known 
as the curculio , has discouraged people generally from giving to the Plum its merited share of attention. 
Nothing is more favorable to the growth of the black fungus, or knot, than neglect. Our preventives 
and remedies are good clean culture and prompt amputation. 
Spraying. For the curculio, the most practical treatment is thorough spraying with arsenate of lead, 
using two to three pounds of poison to fifty gallons of water or dilute lime-sulphur solution, the poison to 
be applied just as the husks are dropping from the fruit, and again about ten days after the first treatment. 
Trees are generally 5 to 6 feet in height, and, like all the stone fruits, should have heads as low as 
possible. . 
Grade. We offer but one grade of Plum trees, viz., first-class or No. 1, averaging about 5 to 6 feet in 
height. . Sfe
