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 loca- 
tion is satisfactory. Be sure to plant the 
itrees as soon as they arrive. Press the soil 
firmly around the roots; tramp it hard.
