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

 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 Ught 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.
