PEAGH Varieties are all considered self-fruitful 
APRICOT planted alone. The most important ex- 
NECTARINE _ ceptions are the J. H. Hale Peach and 
the Riland Apricot which do not fruit 
satisfactorily unless planted with another sort of the 
same family. The Nectarine is not a Hybrid fruit. That 
is, the result of crossing a peach with another fruit. The 
tree of the Nectarine to all appearance resembles the 
Peach tree. In growth, habit, and soils required, it is 
similar to the peach family. The fruit differs from the 
peach in that the skin is smooth, and the rich, aromatic 
flesh has a flavor all its own. The Nectarine is an ex- 
ceedingly delicious dessert fruit. 
QUINCE—Varieties appear to be sufficiently self-fruitful plant- 
ed alone. 
NUTS—tThe Filbert or Hazel Nut are self-sterile. Plant two 
different varieties for cross-pollination. They are quite hardy 
and fruit profusely when very young. 
CHERRY—Almost all of the sweet cherries are unself-fruitful, 
even though they produce excellent pollen. It is evident any 
two varieties will cross-pollinate each other satisfactorily, 
with the exception of Napoleon, Bing and Lambert which will 
not pollinate each other and should be planted with another 
variety to insure fruit. 
All sour cherries are self-fertile and will bear fruit plant- 
ed alone. 
The Duke or Semi-Sweet cherries (hybrid between 
sweet and sour) are self-sterile and require cross-pollination. 
NOTE—Any sweet, sour or Duke cherry will cross-pollinate 
each other. Plant Early bloomers with sweet varieties and 
the late bloomers with sour varieties.:The Black Tartarian 
and Seneca are recommended as the best sort to meet all 
requirements. 
The Cherry is a very delicate variety and since it is different 
from other fruit trees, they either take or fail within a few days 
after planting. 
It is a natural characteristic for the cherry tree to absorb 
plenty of water from the soil and when the tree is transplanted, 
the roots have a tendency to dry out very easily. Thus, the roots 
must be protected from sun and wind exposure, or ‘he tree will 
die completely. Hence, the reason extreme care must be exercised 
at planting time. Always use peat moss around the roots. Under 
proper care and in good soil, the cherry tree will succeed.
