THE LUTOYKA CHERRY. 



In July, 1895, the following circular was issued to all names on 

 the Bulletin list of this Station : 



Among the new or little known cherries received at this Station in recent 

 years, the Lntovka is one of tlie most promising of the late sour varieties. It vras 

 imported from Europe about twelve years ago by Prof. Buddof Ames, Iowa, who 

 says it is much grown in Poland and in Silesia, as a road-side tree. It was first 

 planted at the Station in 1888. So far as observed, it is not catalogued by any 

 nurseryman in this state, although it is grown to some extent in western nurs- 

 eries. It appears to be worthy of extended trial as a late sour cherry. Buds 

 will be distributed to persons in this state who make written requests for them 

 immediately. The requests will be filled in the order they are received as long 

 as the supply lasts. Of course but a few buds can be given to each person. Buds 

 will be seut out soon after the tenth of August. Applications received after the 

 present supply is exhausted will be placed on file and the buds sent next year. 



Description. — Tree of Morello type, a vigorous grower, young branches 

 rather slender; fruit firm, good quality, sprightly acid, as large as English Mo- 

 rello or larger, more nearly round, very similar to that variety in color, but the 

 flesh is not so dark as that of English Morello ; clings tenaciously to the long 

 stem. So far as tested here the tree has proved to be very productive, ripening 

 its fruit as late as, or later thau, the English Morello.

In response to this circular so many requests were received for 

 cions that the supply was soon exhausted. The names of applicants 

 from this State who could not be supplied with cions in 1895 have 

 been placed on file and it is expected to mail them cions in August, 

 1896.
