Cherries 
Not difficult to grow, but the trees do best in well-drained, rich soil. The sour 
varieties grow more readily than do the sweets, but you can have both if the 
location is satisfactory. Be sure to plant the trees as soon as they arrive. Press 
the soil firmly around the roots; tramp it hard. 
Cluster and Sub-Acid Varieties 
You may plant any 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, borne in clusters, is tart and very valuable for canning, pies, etc. 
Yields nearly every year and reddens the tree with its wonderful crop. It suc- 
ceeds wherever Cherries will grow and is one of the earliest. 
» MONTMORENCY. Gradually supplanting Early Richmond because of its size. Ex- 
cept for being a little larger and later it is practically the same. Not quite as 
acid. 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” 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. You should plant two varieties of sweet Cherries for satis- 
factory pollination. ans 
~~ 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. 
‘ MAY DUKE. Somewhat more acid than the other sweet Cherries, but 
of excellent quality and good to eat from the tree. Tree vigorous, 
medium size and productive. 
\\ NAPOLEON (Royal Ann). Large; yellow, tinged with red; firm. The 
most popular and best light colored Cherry for this section.

Poars 
This old standard fruit is still being planted by many. Blight is its chief 
enemy, and as it is worse on deep, rich soil, do not over-stimulate by feed- 
ing. Planted in the back lawn it will make a beautiful tree in foliage, 
blossom and fruit. 
~ BARTLETT. August 15. The favorite eating Pear of America, East or West. 
Large, beautiful yellow with soft blush; high flavor. Tree bears quite 
young. On account of its popularity everywhere it is the most sought 
after of the European Pears. More susceptible to blight than other 
varieties. 
~ KIEFFER. September 10 to 15. The most popular Pear for our section. 
Fruit is large, golden yellow, sometimes tinted red on the sun-exposed 
side. Flesh is firm, crisp, juicy and for canning purposes it is especially 
prized. From the tree it is not good to eat, and to properly ripen, gather 
carefully and place in dry place of even temperature. The quality im- 
proves and it is then desirable. For keeping longer, pack in shallow trays 
or wrap the fruit in paper and store in a room free from frost. In this 
manner it can be kept until Christmas. 
~ LINCOLN. Blight-resistant and bears regular crops. Perfectly hardy and 
quality almost equals Bartlett. Season of ripening about September Ist. 
Plant with confidence. Considered by many the best of the Pears. 
“ORIENT. New introduction from Tennessee Experiment Station. Quality as 
good as Bartlett, it is said that it has never blighted in Knoxville area. 
Skin thick and slightly rough. Flesh is creamy white with good texture. 
Ripens about August 25th. 
~SECKEL. September 15. This small, high quality, yellowish brown Pear is 
one of the most popular of the September fruits. Of melting, juicy, and 
sugary quality (frequently called the ‘’Little Sugar Pear’’). Tree is of 
slow growth but lives long and is needed in every home garden.

They grow almost anywhere—garden, chicken-run, or orchard. Usually 
the trees are loaded with fruit, so it is wise to thin when too thick. 
BURBANK. Late July. Fruit large, violet to light purple, with occasional 
shades of yellow. Flesh yellow, of excellent quality. For either canning 
or market this is the most popular kind. We believe it to be the hardiest 
and most prolific of the Oriental varieties. 
~DAMSON. A medium size, purple or blue Plum which is well known for its 
fine culinary uses. Damson preserve is the height of epicurean delight. 
It bears heavily and should be in every planting where Plums are wanted. 
~ GREEN GAGE. Another outstanding old variety. It ripens in mid-August 
and its medium sized yellow-green high quality fruit makes it a standard 
by which others are judged. Tree moderate grower; healthy. 
“OMAHA. (Hybrid.) A promising kind, vigorous in growth and free from 
disease. Being an American-Japanese hybrid, it inherits hardiness and 
productiveness from each parent. Produces great crops of coral fruit, 
yellow fleshed and of good qualtiy. 
~ STANLEY PRUNE. A large, sweet, purple Plum with much merit. Intro- 
duced by the New York Experiment Station. Annual bearer, good for 
home or commercial purposes and the best of the ’’Prune’”’ class.
