a little larger than Downing, but otherwise is similar to that variety in appearance. 

 This variety seems fully equal, if not superior, to Downing in all respects except plant 

 growth. The latter is somewhat more vigorous, making a larger, stronger plant.

CHERRIES. 



Only a few varieties of cherries fruited this season, and, among the kinds which bore, 

 only four or five produced full crops. The bloom was very profuse and the prospects 

 for a crop in early May never appeared better, but owing to cold, wet weather and the 

 frost of May 14, the set of fruit was very light. It is interesting to note, in the record 

 of productiveness in the accompanying tabulation, that Northwest, Ostheimer, Suda and 

 Wragg, dark-red cherries of the English Morello type, were the only kinds which bore 

 full crops. Montmorency, Weir No. 2 and Richmond stand next in productiveness in the 

 order named. The sweet cherries failed almost completely, so far as yield is concerned. 

 Among the Dukes, Montrueil made much the best showing. Below are given descrip- 

 tions of varieties which have proven satisfactory upon the Station grounds, and which 

 are considered desirable either for the home or commercial orchard. 



MORELLOS. 



Richmond. — This variety is vigorous, very hardy and an abundant bearer. Makes a 

 much better tree than Dyehouse. The fruit is roundish heart-shaped, dark scarlet in 

 color, acid, juicy, rather soft, of fair quality. One of the most profitable kinds for early 

 market. 



Montmorency. — The best of all the sour cherries in the Station collection. Tree 

 upright, with roundish head, vigorous and very productive. The fruit is large, roundish, 

 crimson in color; stem one and one-half inches long; flavor vinous, sprightly, pleasant; 

 texture tender. Particularly valuable for market purposes. Ripens soon after 

 Richmond. 



Wragg. — A late, dark-red cherry, very similar to English Morello. The tree is rather 

 dwarfish with spreading, roundish head and is an abundant, annual bearer. The fruit 

 is roundish heart-shaped: stem one and one-half inches long: color dark crimson; flesh 

 and juice dark red; flavor acid, slightly astringent; texture firm. Valuable for late 

 market.
