Cherry trees that grow to the
height of 90 feet are rare, if not
almost unknown, but there is a grove
of such trees few miles from Ken
drick, according to George Hudson,
a farmer living on American ridge.
The trees are in the white pine forest
and are surrounded by lofty pines,
which grow so thickly that they ex-
clude light and air. The cherries are
an old-fashioned stock seldom seen
in the west, but familiar to every
native of state east of the Mississippi.
How the grove was planted is not
known. The trees are quite old, so
that it is probable that they were
planted by the Indians years ago.
