making pies or canning. Here is a fruit that every 
home owner should have in his dooryard to extend the 
season for sweet Cherries through the late summer 
and autumn. It will find ready sale on the Roadside 
Market and at a time when the market season is at 
its height and the fruits can be sold over a long pe¬ 
riod of time as they do not rot but hang on the tree 
until picked. 3 to 4 feet well rooted trees, eneh,
