Biittner's October. 9. Hogg Fruit Man. 288. 1884. 



Produced from seed about 1800, by Biittner. As one of the latest of all cherries, it 

 was at one time considered of value for culinary purposes and for a time was grown to 

 a limited extent in this country. The American Pomological Society placed it on its 

 fruit catalog list in 1862 but dropped it in 1869. Tree hardy, productive; fruit often 

 hangs to the tree till October, large, round, somewhat oblate; suture indistinct; apex 

 depressed; stem long, slender; cavity shallow ; skin thin but firm, reddish-brown, separating 

 easily from the pulp; flesh light red, reticulated with whitish fibers, firm, breaking, juicy, 

 sweet, rich, mingled with pleasant subacid; quality good; stone large, oval, semi-clinging; 

 ripens the last of August and early September.
