The Morello cherries appear to have been neglected of late years, 

 probably on account of the introduction of so many choice varieties 

 of sweet cherries. The Morellos are now becoming more popular, 

 as they are more hardy, more certain bearers, less subject to rot, 

 continue a longer time in use, are more vkluable for canning, drying, 

 and for various culinary purposes; also many of the kinds when 

 fully ripe arc good table fruits.
