 Buffalo. P. avium, i. Card. Man. 13:150. 1871. 



This cherry was received from Buffalo, New York, by Smiley Shepard of Hermepen, 

 Illinois, in the "fifties." The fruit with him proved ver>' hardy and productive and 

 promised to become a valuable sweet variety for prairie orchards. Mr. Shepard sent cions 

 to different localities for testing but nothing has been heard further about the variety. 

 Bunte Morello. P. cerasus. i. la. Sta. Bui. 19:551. 1892. 2. Budd-Hansen Am.

This is another of Burbank's cherries, trees of which have not yet fruited at the 

 Station. Trees described as vigorous, sure croppers; foliage very large; fruit very large,

 slender; skin ver>' thin, transparent, a brilliant dark red if left hanging; flesh dull yel- 

 lowish-red, veined or netted, very juicy, melting, with a pleasing astringency; ripens in 

 mid-season.
