Descriptive and illustrated catalogue of fruit and ornamental trees shrubs, plants, etc., etc., etc. . descriptiveillus1895norw Year: 1895 ILLUSTRATED DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE elegt Jerries. The Cherry thrives best on a sandy or gravelly soil, and there attains its highest per- fection, but will do very well in almost any situation except a wet one. It is one of the most ornamental of all fruit trees, which, with its delicious and refreshing fruit, makes it very desirable for planting near the dwelling, where beauty and shade as well as fruit are so much sought for and so desirable. We divide them 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 purposes of shade, and produce large, heart-shaped, sweet fruit. The Dukes and Morellos are all of slower growth, and do not ever attain so large a size, but are more hardy, less liable to get injared by bursting the bark, and generally pro- duce acid fruits. One and two year old trees are the most desirable for transplanting, and are usually from four to six feet high. WINDSOR. HEART AND BIGARREAU CHERRIES. Fruit heart-shaped, with tender, sweet flesh.
