304 THE CHERRIES OF NEW YORK 



This cherry originated with G. W. Walling, Oswego, Oregon, about 1865, and was 

 renamed in honor of Major Francis of Portland. As yet it is known only in the Northwest. 

 The fruit is of good quality, attractive color, ripening with Black Tartarian, but is readily 

 sought by the birds. Tree very large, vigorous, upright, productive; fruit large, heart- 

 shaped, dark red; flesh deeply stained with red, juicy, sweet; quality good; too tender 

 for long shipment; season early.
