THE NATIONAL NUESERYMAN 
A Promising Cherry Orchard 
A close-up vieiv of the individual tree—see view of the orchard on page 47 
We are indebted to the Neosho Nurseries Company, 
Neosho, Mo., for the photograph herewith reproduced. 
There are 800 Montmorency cherry trees in the orchard, 
planted the spring of 1917. Photograplied October 1918. 
There were only four trees lost out of this planting, 
which speaks well for the quality of the stock and care 
in handling. 
The memory of the severity of last winter is still fresh 
and is proof of the hardiness of the Montmorency cheriy. 
The close-Lij) photograph of an individual tree in the 
orchard giv(‘s a good idea of the sturdy, vigorous growth 
the trees have made and according to the rule a caliper 
of two inches.
