CHERRIES 
A Fruit That Makes Profits for Growers 
A good cherry orchard is one of the most profitable 
ventures a farmer can undertake. With but little care, 
the trees are very thrifty and prolific, bearing large 
crops annually. 
The trees are naturally hardy, succeeding best on 
sandy or gravelly loam, well drained. Avoid low or 
wet ground. 
Sweet varieties grow more rapidly and make larger 
pyramidal trees. Set trees 18 to 20 feet apart. The 
Sour varieties are dwarf and bushy, bear earlier, and 
are more largely planted. Set trees 16 to 18 feet apart.
