(Sherries for Quick (r Results 
Cherries give quick results, often coming into bearing the 
fourth year. On good, well drained soil they are successful. On 
wet soils they are short-lived. Plant 1 8 to 20 ft. apart. There 
is always a market for Cherries if you have more than you need 
for home use.
