PICKING YOUR CHERRY CROP 
You can pick cherries without stems provided 
that you plan to use them immediately. By so do- 
ing, the chance of breaking the fruit spurs, so 
necessary to the following season’s crop, will be 
considerably lessened. Cherries intended for the 
market must be picked with stems attached so as 
to prevent ‘’bleeding.’’ Some gardeners find 
that using shears and allowing the fruit to fall on 
sheets is satisfactory. Sour cherries can be left on 
the trees for several weeks after ripening, pro- 
vided that a spraying or dusting program is car- 
ried out. (See information about Fruitone, Page 
37, to prevent premature fruit drop.) 
CULTIVATION OF YOUR CHERRY CROP 
Although clean cultivation and cover cropping 
are both practiced in cherry orchards, sweet 
cherries often do well on a lawn. Sour cherries, 
being shallow-rooted, are more successful as a 
lawn tree if fed 2 to 3 lbs. of nitrate of soda in early 
spring. Such feeding develops the terminal 
growths of the trees and helps crops. 
CHERRY TREES 3-4-ft. size (Sour) Each 1.35 
The most delicious fruit is that which you pick from your own trees. Cherry trees are easy to grow, and 
with reasonable care will provide delicious fruits for eating, canning and pies. Wards varieties produce 
fruit of high quality on vigorous and dependable trees budded on Mahaleb understock and do well in 
almost any well drained location. All Trees are pruned back for sturdier growth. Wards ship vigorous 
2-year trees. State inspected. Shipped Prepaid at proper time for planting. 
SOUR CHERRIES 
A low-headed strain that grows only 12 to 20 feet 
tall with usual pruning. Fruit is down where it’s 
easy to pick. Spraying is easier, with hardly any

needed for proper ripening. Sour Cherries are 
self-pollinating. Plant 20 to 25 ft. apart.
