The Cherry has always been one of the most delicious 
fruits, but has never been as extensively grown as the 
Apple and Peach. Unfortunately, it is not adapted to as 
wide a range of soil conditions and climates, but can be suc- 
cessfully grown in many localities where not cultivated 
at the present. 
New processes of freezing fruit afford the Cherry 
great possibilities, making it possible to serve fresh 
Cherries throughout the year. As a commercial fruit, 
the Cherry is coming into its own, but if you are not 
in position to grow Cherries commercially, why not 
grow at least enough for home use? If you are lo- 
cated in the Deep South or in a low, flat country, you 
will not be able to compete with the growers in a 
higher altitude and cooler climate, but by careful 
selection of varieties and attention, you should be able 
to grow Cherries for home use, especially the Large 
Montmorency, the most popular pie variety. 
Two Distinct Classes—the Sours and Sweets. 
The Sours are used chiefly for pies, while the Sweets 
have many uses. Outstanding among the Sweets is the 
Greenwood, a dark red, sweet variety. All the others 
on our list are also good and worthy of a place on 
any table. 
SOUR CHERRIES 
EARLY RICHMOND. Earliest of the sour, pie varieties. 
Bright red, round medium size, early and prolific bearer. 
LARGE MONTMORENCY. The leading sour Cherry, 
and the most extensively planted of all Cherries. Large, 
midseason, dark red; small seed, firm flesh. A large per- 
cent of all the frozen Cherries used for pies are Mont- S ERRIE 
morency which is also just as popular in the home orchard.

Prize Super Varieties of Sweet Cherries 
GREENWOOD. Enormous, mahogany red, sweet fruit; small seed. Firm 
and excellent shipper, as well as an ideal Cherry for roadside stands and 
home use. Trees are vigorous growers and prolific bearers. Apparently 
adapted to-a wide range of soils and can be grown with a minimum amount 
of attention; however, it responds well to modern cultural practices. 
WINDSOR. One of the largest of the dark purplish red Sweet Cherries, 
being two weeks later than the Greenwood; not quite as large and some- 
what darker in color. These two big varieties make an ideal combination, 
since they ripen at different times and are two of the largest and most 
delicious Sweet Cherries known.
