color, dark red ; juice, abundant, colored, very acid ; season late about 

 July 15th to 20th in central Iowa ; tree, medium, spreading, slender, hardy, 

 productive. This is one of the oldest varieties and has been grown in this 

 country for many years. It is classed as one of the best sorts, being very 

 productive and hardy, firm and an excellent shipper. 



Goodspeed. Montmorency : Form, oblate, slightly heart shaped ; size, 

 medium large ; cavity, deep and broad. Stem, short, stout i inch ; suture, 

 roundish slightly flattened ; skin, thin and tender ; color, dark red ; flesh 

 moderately firm, tender, uncolored ; juice uncolored ; stone, almost free, 

 medium, roundish ovate ; quality, good ; flavor, slightly sub-acid. Ripens 

 just after the Early Richmond. 



Griotie dii Nord. (See Brusseler Braune): Prince in his Pomology 

 published in 1831 gives this as a synonym of the Brusseler Braune and de- 

 scribed the fruit as follows : form almost spherical ; medium size ; the skin 

 and flesh both dark and red color ; flavor acid, sometimes bitter. He says it 

 was grown much in northern France, Belgium and Holland. The Dutch 

 obtained this variety from Russia. Professor Budd in his notes on Russian 

 importations reports this variety as grown in North Silesia. Fruit large, 

 nearly black, flesh firm. Fruit matures about July 20th. Tree is very 

 similar in habit of growth, size and hardiness to the Brusseler Braune. 

 Of little value. 



June Amarelle . Montmorency : Specimens of this variety were received 

 from Mr. H. A. Terry, Crescent, Iowa. Form round, oblate ; size large ; 

 cavity variable; stem thick, ^ to i^ inches long; suture indistinct, 

 marked by faint line ; apex flattened ; skin thin, rather tough; color light 

 red; flesh yellowish juicy; juice colorless; stone medium to small; 

 quality good, flavor sprightly sub -acid. 



Introduced by Professor Budd in 1883. Synonyms Juneat Amarelle, 

 Amarelle, June Morello. Should be further tested. 



Homer. Montmorency : F. Yahnke of Winona, Minnesota, reports 

 having grown this variety for a number of years. It is seedling that came 

 from New Haven, Connecticut ; said to be productive and hardy. No fruit 

 of this variety was received. It may be valuable for the cold sections of the 

 Northwest. 



Late Richmond. Montmorency : Medium round, conical cherry with a 

 thin, translucent skin ; light red in color ; stem thick, i to i ^^ inches long ; 

 cavity shallow, broad ; seed round, large ; flesh tender and juicy ; juice color- 

 less, not as watery as Early Richmond ; season a week to ten days later ; 

 flavor acid ; quality very good. The Montmorency is a few days earlier in 

 ripening, scarcely as acid, and usually a little more conical in shape. 



Some growers report this variety unproductive. Others seem to think 

 it moderately productive. English Morello or Wragg will doubtless be 

 more valuable where a late variety is desired. 



Lutovka. {Galopin). Brusseler Braune : Fruit of this variety was 

 received from Atlantic and Amana, Iowa ; also from our grounds. This 

 fruit seems to be very distinct from the Brusseler Braune. It is not a 

 synonym of that variety. Form oblate, obscurely heart-shaped ; size 

 medium. ^ by ^4 inches; cavity wide and deep ; stem i to loyi inches; 

 suture prominent ; apex depressed ; skin thin and tough ; translucent ;
