pe August 3rd. Western Trhunph.—Plants hardy but rather weak, of spreading habit. Fruit medium offair quality. Yield 5 quarts. Ripe August 3rd. CHERRIES IN 1900. ■» By L. Woolverton (Maplehurst.) Figure 1 shows a view of the cherry plot at Maplehurst, five years planted. Thesetrees are on dry sandy loam, have been given clean cultivation and fertilized with woodashes. The result of this treatment shows the absurdity of the common notion that the properplace for cherry trees is the fence row, and that cultivation is unnecessary. They have grownwith double the vigor of trees not cultivated, many of the sweet cherry class being over 14 feetin height and four inches in diameter of trunk ; also at this early age many of them are wellladen with fruit. One of the Early Purple trees, a variety not usually very productive, has soresponded to our treatment that it has been fully loaded now for two years in succession, but,ripening early in June, it is generally harvested by birds and boys.
