254 THE CHERRIES OF NEW YORK 



Folgers Swolfe. P. cerasus. i. Christ Worterb. 292. 1802. 



According to Christ, Salzman says that in Holland several Sour Cherries were known 

 as Folgers. This is a large, black, pleasant subacid fnut with a very characteristic growth. 

 Fouche Morello. P. cerasus. 1. Am. Gard. 9:264. 1888. 2. la. Sta. Bul.'j^:-]^. 1903. 



This variety is said to have been imported by Professor J. L. Budd, Ames, Iowa, 

 from Riga, Russia, where it was found planted along walks and drives. Tree rather small ; 

 fruit small, roundish-oblate; cavity shallow, broad; stem slender, rather long; suture a line; 

 skin thin, rather tough, dark red changing to crimson; flesh firm, breaking, juicy, colored, 

 sprightly subacid; quality fair; stone nearly round, of medium size; ripens early in July. 

 Frauendorfer. P. cerasus. i. Del. Sta. An. Rpt. 12:125. 1900.

 Rpt. 103. 1886-87. 



Griotte de FrauendorJ. 4. Thomas Guide Prat. 22, 194. 1876. 



This variety was imported into this country by Professor J. L. Budd in 1883 from 

 North Silesia. The Montreal Horticultural Society believes two forms exist, one from 

 North Silesia being perfectly hardy while another from Metz, Germany, is far less so. 

 Tree productive; branches drooping; fruit above medium in size, roundish-oblate; suture 

 shallow; stem long; cavity small; skin thin, glossy, dark red at maturity; flesh tender, 

 tinted with abundant, uncolored juice, acidulated; stone large; matures the last of June 

 and the first of July. 

 French Amarelle. P. cerasus. i. Rriral N. Y. 49:453. 1890. 



Trees thrifty and tall but set fruit sparingly; fruit large, yellow with a blush, two 

 weeks later than Early Riclimond. 

 French Weichsel. P. cerasus. i. Tex. Sta. Bid. i6:gg. 1891. 



In the reference this cherrj' is listed as a Russian variety introduced by Professor 

 J. L. Budd. If so, it was probably under some other name, as it seems not to be mentioned 

 by Budd. 



Frogmore Early Bigarreau. P. avium. 1. Gard. Chron. 606. 1865. 2. Hogg Fruit Man. 

 298. 1884. 3. Flor. & Pom. 148 fig. 1867. 4. Bunyard-Thomas Fr. Gard. 43. 

 1904. 



Frogmore Early Prolific. 5. Daniels Bros. Cat. 51. 1895. 



Frogmore Bigarreau. 6. Agr. Gas. N. S. Wales. 998. 1908. 



Unlike the rest of its class, this cherry has tender flesh but is a Bigarreau in tree-habit, 

 leaf and in appearance of fruit, and is therefore classified as such. The variety is a seedling 

 raised by Thomas Ingram of the Frogmore Royal Gardens at Windsor, Berkshire, Eng- 

 land. Tree bears freely in clusters; fruit large, obtuse-cordate, slightly compressed, with 

 a faint suture; stem long, set in a small cavity; skin waxen, orange-yellow, with a net- 

 work of red and a blush of deeper red on the sunny side; flesh of a primrose color, very 

 tender, translucent, rich, sweet; stone spoon-shaped, indented on one side; season early but 

 short. 

 Frogmore Early Crown. Species? i. Gard. Chron. 364. 1866. 



Also a seedling from Mr. Ingram. It is a small, red fruit about ten days earlier than 

 May Duke, of a rich flavor when fully ripe.
