CHERRIES 
In planting a Cherry orchard care should be 
taken not to plant trees too close together; select 
a dry soil for the Cherry, as a rule, although it 
is so hardy a tree that it will thrive in a great 
variety of soil, yet a good sandy, or gravelly 
loam is best. Use same care in planting as other 
trees. 
Orchardists are resorting more and more to 
the planting of varieties of Cherries that are 
strong pollenizers. Experience seems to demon¬ 
strate that such varieties as Black Oregon, Black 
Tartarian and Black Republican are the best 
varieties to use for this purpose. Usually about 
one in every nine trees has proven to be the right 
proportion to use of these pollenizers.
