Table of Contents

The cherry thrives well in Canada, in spite of the frosty winters.—There are many excellent sorts, sold at the nursery gardens, as Tartarian Black, Black-heart, Bigaroux, Mayduke, and many others.—There is a red cherry that grows and bears very freely from seed: it ripens in July, is middle sized, of a full dark red, not black, but rather crimson; sends up a vast number of shoots, which will bear in a few years abundance of fruit, if set out, trimmed up, and kept in order.—Suckers should be removed from the roots, as soon as they appear, as they weaken the larger trees, and absorb the nourishment that is required to perfect the fruit.
