CHERRIES 
The compact shapeliness of Cherry trees, 
their glossy foliage, and spring glory of 
clustered blossoms, gives them ornamental 
value even in the lawn. 
The trees are naturally hardy, succeed- 
ing best on sandy or gravelly loam, well 
drained. Avoid low or wet ground. 
Sweet varieties grow more rapidly and 
make larger pyramidal trees. Set trees 18 
to 20 feet apart. The Sour varieties are 
dwarf and bushy, bear earlier, and are more 
largely planted. Set trees 15 to 18 feet 
apart.
