Cluster and Sub-acid Varieties 
You may plant one of these varieties and you will 
be rewarded. 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. 
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. Ex- 
cept for being a little later it is practically the same. Not quite as acid; 
when ripe it is good to eat from hand. The tree is hardy, blooming late, 
and freauently will make a crop when the sweet varieties fail.

Black Tartarian 
Cherry 
Sweets or “Heart” Varieties 
This group grows luxuriantly, makes a fine showing for a few years, and then 
may die if not in soil that is exactly suitable. The following varieties are the 
hardiest of the group. Best to plant two varieties of sweet Cherries for pol- 
lination. 
Governor Wood. Few Cherries are superior to it in quality or productiveness. 
Fruit medium size, soft, and of fine flavor; pale yellow with blush. 
Black Tartarian. Perhaps the most popular of 
the sweet varieties. Fruit is large, black, 
and heart-shaped. High quality. The tree 
is vigorous in suitable soil. 
Napoleon. Large; yellow; firm and high qual- 
ity. Not as much planted as it should be.
