CHERRIES (Pruniw) .—CoNOLtJDED. 



NOTES ON VARIETIES. 



A few notices of the species, origin, etc., also of the sources whence 

 received are appended. 



Abbess, received from the Russian importation of Prof. J. L. Budd, 

 aadly lacks vigor, and is, so far, only moderately productive. 



Angouleme, from the same source, is unusually vigorous, but so far 

 aadly deficient in productiveness. 



Badacconyi, Baltavati and Modnyansky belong to the sweet or Mazzard 

 class of cherries, and are very vigorous, with promise of early fruitful- 

 ness. They come from southeastern Europe, as an importation through 

 the National Division of Pomology. 



Baender, Esperen, Everbearing, Galopin, King Amarelle, Lithauei 

 Weichsel, Minnesota (Ostheim), Northwest, Orel 25, Orel 27, Ostheim, 

 Ostheimer, Suda, Weir and Wragg come from unknown sources, through 

 the Michigan Agricultural College. They are all, or nearly all, of the 

 Morello type. Several of them promise early and abundant productive- 

 ness, but, so far, there is much apparent similarity among very many of them. 



Bessarabian, Brusseler Braune, Frauendorfer Weichsel, George Glass, 

 Griotte du Nord, Lutovka, Sklanka, Spate Amarelle and Strauss Weich- 

 sel are from the Budd importation AH are vigorous, fairly productive, 

 and (with the single exception of Sklanka), quite acid, and ripen late. 

 They are especially adapted to culinary purposes. 



Carnation, Late Duke and Royal Duke are old varieties of the Duke 

 class. They are apparently too persistently unproductive to ever become 

 popular. 



Centennial, La Maurie, Mastodon (Black), and Ulatis (California 

 Advance), are understood to be California seedlings. Little is yet known 

 of them at the east.
