No. 48 ITHACA, NEW YORK SEPTEMBER 15, 1913 FRUIT-GROWING SERIES No. 4 CULTURE OF THE CHERRY E. L. Markell The cherry, like most of our common fruits, seems to have had its origin in western Asia. From there it was introduced into Europe nearly two thousand years ago, and its distribution has kept pace with the spread of civilization in all parts of the world. Our fore- fathers realized the value of this fruit, for it was one of the first fruits im- ported and cultivated by early settlers in America. Practically all cultivated varieties in this country have been introduced from Europe or have de- veloped from imported varieties. The cherry is grown to some extent in all parts of New York State. It is found on nearly every farm and has a prominent place in all fruit gardens. For a long time the cherry was grown only for home consumption, but in comparatively recent years orchards have been set on a large commercial scale in New York State and elsewhere. The census for 1910 shows that there are nearly 700,000 [1827]. Fig. 121 — Cherries — one of the first fruits of summer.
