a Growers have supplied information regarding varieties 

 with the writer and by correspondence. 



b Some of the varieties mentioned in the.se lists arc more commonly known in this 

 region by a synonym than by the name that conforms to the rules of nomenclature 

 adopted by the American Pomological Society. As these rules are followed as far as 

 possible, the accepted name is given in each case, ^^^^erever this course is likely to 

 cause confusion as to the identity of any variety, the synonym by which it is com- 

 monly known is given in italics after the leading name. 



cMuch confusion exists regarding the identity of the cherries grown in America 

 under the names Montmorency, Montmorency Ordinaire, and Large Montmorency. 

 Growers in the Great Plains area commonly use the name Montmorency without 

 distinguishing one variety of this group from another. Many nurserymen also fail to 

 discriminate between them. It appears probable that the variety most commonly 

 planted in this area is the sort commonly known in the New York nurseries as Mont- 

 morency Ordinaire, though it has also been distributed more or less under the name 

 Large Montmorency. The Large Montmorency variety of the eastern nurseries is 

 claimed to be of better quality than Montmorency Ordinaire, but it is considered a 

 shy bearer.
