CLASS III. — DUKE AND MORELLO CHERRIES. 



These two classes of cherries are very distinct from the 

 preceding. The trees are of smaller size and grow slowly; 

 the leaves are thicker and more erect, and of a deeper 

 green. The fruit is generally round, and in color varying 

 from light red, like Belle de Choisy, to dark brown, like 

 Mayduke or Morello.
