 on the simny side, yellowish, flesh-colored on the shady side ; flesh tender, light yellowish- 

 white, juicy, sweet yet without excellence; stone round, rather broad, not long, nearly

This variety was imported by Professor J. L. Budd of Iowa, in 1885. It resembles 

 Early Richmond but ripens ten days later. It appeared on the fruit list of the American 

 Pomological Society in 1899 and in 1909 Morello Hative was given as a synonym. This 

 variety, however, is of the Amarelle type while Morello Hative is a true Morello.

According to Truchsess, this variety was first mentioned by Christ as early as 1795, 

 under the name, Roque Cherydere. Fruit of medium size, roundish, flattened; stem short; 

 skin dark red; flesh white, with colorless juice, although a glistening red when pressed 

 out, subacid; season early; medium productive; resembles Bunte Amarelle. 

 Amber. P. avium, i. Kenrick Am. Orch. 272. 1832. 



This variety was found in an old garden in Providence, Rhode Island. Fruit below 

 medium in size, perfectly roimd ; amber, delicate red towards the sun ; flesh melting, lively, 

 very sweet; early.

Late Amber Gean. 5. Fish Hardy-Fr. Bk. 2:105. 1882. 



This is probably the Amber of the old English writers — an attractive, small Gean 

 or Mazzard. Tree bears abundantly; fruit small, obtuse-cordate, usually regular; stem 

 long, slender, shallowly inserted; skin very thin, pellucid, exhibiting the texture of the 

 flesh, pale yellow or amber, tinged with delicate red; flesh white, tender, juicy, melting, 

 with a rich, sweet, pleasant flavor ; ripens the last of July.

This variety resembles Yellow Spanish; in fact the name is listed as a synonym of 

 Yellow Spanish by Mortillet. We feel sure, however, that it is a distinct variety. Fruit 

 large, roundish-cordate, truncate at the base; suture shallow; stem long; cavity wide, 

 shallow; skin glossy, pale yellow washed with carmine in the sun; flesh firm, fibrous, sweet, 

 with a sourness that disappears if allowed to remain on the tree; quality good; stone oval, 

 slightly flattened at the base; ripens the first of July in France.
