. Green's Nursery Co. : spring 1897. Nursery stock New York (State) Rochester Catalogs; Fruit trees Seedlings Catalogs. Corner of Packing House, Showing L. Wolverton, the Canadian Editor, and Ceierries Ready for Covering and to go to Market. Here is a Man who can tell you About Profit in Cherries. A Cherry Orchard. Plant a cherry orchard, a great curiosity in Eastern States, and. a very profitable investment. In California fruit growers plent ten to one hundred acres in one cherry orchard. They sell the fruit in your village, and in Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, right under your nose. This seems strange, you in the Middle and Eastern States having fertile soil, adapted to cherry culture, yet your people eat cher- ries that come from California, and pay fancy prices. Cherries are the easiest fruit grown. Trees are sold at the nurseries at low prices, and they succeed on a great variety of soils and localities. They come early into bearing, and there are many favorable features in regard to them, among which is the fact that the fruit can be gathered not necessarily the "lay it colors or ripens, but after a period of a> week, or two, or more. â i The Black Tartarian cherry growing in my door-yard remains upon the tree in a re- markable condition for at least a month. The Early Richmond is similar in this re- spect, and many others of that class. Fruit growers have erroneous ideas of the perishable nature of cherries, owing to their experience with white cherries, which some- times decay rapidly after prolonged showers in hot weather. We do not recommend these for extensive market culture owing to this peculiarity, but if the seasons are not showery at the time of ripening the white cherries will hang on the trees almost as long as any. The safest cherries to plant for mar- ket are the black, or the red, commonly called sour or Morello cherries. Under this last head are such varieties as Early Rich- mond, Montmorency, May Duke, Olivet, Louis Phillip
