200 SYSTEMATIC POMOLOGY 



II. DUKES AND MORELLOS. Fruit round, black, dark 

 red, or crimson. 



1. Fruit black, red, or crimson. May Duke, 



Morello. 



2. Fruit bright red, or lighter. Belle de Choisy, 



Belle Magnifique, Early Richmond, Reine 

 Hortense. 



Though this classification at first sight 

 seems to be no more arbitrary than the others 

 previously reviewed than the Bailey- Powell 

 classification, for example it is, nevertheless, 

 less natural in its result. This is shown in 

 the circumstance that it throws together vari- 

 eties which are obviously of different natural 

 types, as May Duke and Morello.
