CHERRIES 
Not difficult to grow, but the trees are happiest in 
well-drained, ricn soil. The Sour varieties grow more 
readily than do the Sweets, but you can have both if 
the location is good. Be sure to plant the trees as soon 
as they arrive—don’t let them lie around. Press the dirt 
firmly around the roots; tramp it hard. Prune the same 
as apples or pears but do not cut the central leader.

CLUSTER AND SUB-ACID 
You may plant one of these varieties, and you will be re- & 
warded. This group seldom fails to bear a good crop. _ 
EARLY RICHMOND. This old standard Cherry has been the 
favorite for years. The fruit is tart and very valuable for 
canning purposes. Yields nearly every year and reddens the 
tree with its wonderful crop. It succeeds everywhere Cherries 
will grow and is the earliest in season. 
MAY DUKE. Ripens a little earlier than Early Richmond, and 
while not quite so vigorous in tree, the fruit is slightly superior. 
Has been tested and found worthy of a place in all Cherry 
plantings. 
MONTMORENCY. Gradually supplanting Early Richmond because 
of its size. Except for being a little later it is practically the 
same. Not quite as acid; when ripe is good to eat from hand. 
The tree is hardy, blooming late, and frequently will make a 
crop when the sweet varieties fail.

SWEETS OR “HEART” 
- This group grows luxuriantly, makes a fine showing for a few years, and BLACK TARTARIAN. Perhaps the most popular of the sweet varieties. Fruit 
then if not in soil that ts exactly suitable, may die. These varieties are the is large, black, and heart-shaped. High quality. The tree is vigorous in 
hardiest of the group. suitable soil. 
GOVERNOR WOOD. Few Cherries are superior to it in quality or productiveness. 
Fruit medium size, soft, and of fine flavor; pale yellow with blush.

PLANTING AND CARE 
The Peach is the quickest maturing of fruit trees, often bearing the second year after transplanting. 
methods recommended for other fruit trees. : 
When planting, prune very severely, removing all side branches to short stubs and head low. The tree gets top-heavy if allowed to develop a high head. 
Subsequent orchard pruning consists of shortening the terminal growth and keeping the tree compact and shapely. 
The borer which hibernates right below the ground line and frequently girdles the trunk should be removed annually. A new chemical, Paradichlorobenzine 
(PDB) may be used to control this pest. Our crchard growing and nursery experience is always at your service. Write us your questions and we will try to help you. 
NAPOLEON. Large, yellow, firm and high quality. Not planted as it should be. 

A home garden without Peaches? Can you imagine such a thing! Just think what you are missing—tuscious fruit from 
late June to mid-October if you select an early, a midseason, and a late. One tree of each is better than none, but if 
you have space, piant five of each class. For a commercial orchard you need a special selection and several varieties—
