"Spate Amarelle — Much grown for dessert and culinary use in 

 East Poland and North Silesia where it is noted for its regular and 

 bountiful crops. Tree snaaller than the English Morello with pendu- 

 lous habit. Our trees from five to six feet in height were bending 

 with the weight of fiuit this season. Fruit, medium to large, dark 

 purple when ripe. When first colored red the fruit has a bitter taste. 

 At this stage of its growth it is excellent for canning, and when fully 

 mature is desirable for dessert use." 



"ScHATTEN Amarelle — The word Schatten is said to mean shadow. 

 Hence we send it out as Shadow Amarelle. Much like the above 

 variety in size, shape, quality and season. Trees were laden this 

 the 'otf ' year." 



"Ceris£ be Ostheim — It fruits earlier and is hardier than what 

 is known as the Minnesota Ostheim, and bears larger, earlier and 

 better fruit. Pitt small ; flesh and juice red, tender, juicy, and when 

 ripe pleasantly' sub-acid." 



''Orel — Belongs to the Vladimir race with small leaves and close 

 habit. It comes into bearing when from three to four feet in height ; 

 fruit larger than the Moutmorenc}', nearly black when ripe, very 

 mildly sub-acid in flavor ; promises to be very valuable for the north." 



Montmorency Ordinaire — Thus desciibed by Mr. Barry, "French 

 origin ; medium size, of a beautiful light color ; flesh juicy, melting 

 with just enough acidi y to be refreshing ; tree makes a handsome 

 growth, and is extremely hardy and productive ; about one week 

 later than the Early Richmond ; unsurpassed for cooking or canning." 



Dyehouse — Origin unknown ; found on the farm of a Mr. Dye- 

 house in Kentucky ; fruit medium, oblate or roundish oblate, slightly 

 depressed, without suture, apex, slightly depressed ; skin bright 

 red, dark red in the sun ; stalk of medium length, slender; cavity, 

 rather large, smooth ; flesh, soft, juicy, tender, sprightly, sub-acid, 

 rich ; pit, verj- small ; sometimes the stalk adheres to the pit. 



Windsor— Originated with James Dougall of Windsor, Canada, 

 and is thus described in the Country Gentleman. "Tree hardy, vig- 

 orous, an early and good bearer. It is a variety of high promise ; 

 fruit, obtuse, heart-shaped, dark purple or nearly black ; the flesh 

 quite firm, fine in texture and rich in flavor ; ripens late, after all 

 other sweet cherries."
