Cherrtes 
Cherries are easy to raise and, with 
the new DuPont Fruit Spray (page 
30), are easy to keep free of insects 
and disease. They should be set 18 
feet apart, or 130 trees to the acre, 
if you,want that many. 
A3336-—MONTMORE. We have found 
Montmore to be the finest variety of 
pie cherry. The fruits are large, rich 
red, and borne in abundance. Never 
grows more than 12 feet high but 
does get broad; most of the crop can 
be picked from the ground. Tree 
will be in full bearing in 3 or 4 
years. As far as is known, Montmore 
is entirely virus free.

A3404—ELBERTA. The variety by 
which every other peach is judged— 
the most popular of all for years.

out. Fruit large and handsome and 
tree is disease resistant. Best known 
of all canning peaches.
