DESCRIPTIVE EING the earliest fruit in market the Cherry holds a place in public favor that can never be lost, and also for this reason commauds good prices in all the large cities of the countrj-. We find the farmers planting extensively on their road sides and on their lawns for shade and fruit thus combining usefulness and profit. After the fruit is gone early in the summer the cherry settles down to real value as a shade tree of great beauty, holding its dark green foliage until after the late frosts, and being the last to. succumb to winter's blasts. Cherries are divided into two classes Hearts and Bigarreaus, and Dukes and Morellos. The first are strong and vigorous growers, making large, open, spreading heads or tops are best suited for the purpose of shade, and produce large, heart-shaped sweet fruit. The Dukes and Morellos are all of slower growth, do not attain so large a size, are more hardy, less liable to injury bj- bursting the bark, generally produce acid fruits, and make the most beautiful dwarfs. One and two year old trees are the most desirable for transplanting, and are usually from four to six feet Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Chase Bros.
