Branch of 1909 Cherries 
The number 1909 here refers not to the actual number of 
cherries, but to the season in which they were first developed. 
They appeared that year on one of the branches of the famous tree, 
and they were at once seen to have such qualities as to merit 
further attention. The branch was therefore multiplied 
by grafting, and the new variety assured perma- 
nence. As yet, however, it has not been named,
