ed ; skin thin ; color light red when fully ripe ; flesh soft, juicy ; juice un- 

 colored rather watery ; stone medium size ; quality poor to fair ; flavor 

 acid; season June 15th to 25th. 



Tree is large, spreading, with strong branches slightly dropping, foli- 

 age abundant, medium, ovate, crenate, acute ; twigs reddish brown ; 

 very hardy and vigorous. 



It is one of the best Russian sorts and has been widely disseminated 

 and deserves to be further tested. 



Spate Amarelle. Montmorency: Fruit oblate, medium ; cavity broad, 

 shallow; stem \}i to i J/^ inches, usually not variable ; apex flattened and 

 depressed ; skin translucent, thin ; color pinkish yellow and light red ; 

 flesh soft ; juice uncolored ; stone small ; quality fair ; flavor lacking in 

 richness ; season June 20th. 



Tree large, upright, spreading, quite open ; bark reddish to dark 

 brown ; leaves small to medium, elliptical, double serrate, of leathery tex- 

 ture ; foliage only moderately abundant. 



This variety has been mistaken for the Shadow Amarelle. Hedrick 

 in Utah Station bulletin No. 64 says the fruit has dark colored juice and the 

 trees dwarf, which closely corresponds to the Shadow Amarelle as grown 

 here. Imported by Professor Budd in 1883. In his notes on cherries he 

 reports that this variety was much grown in East Poland and North Silesia. 



Moderately productive and hardy. May be of value. 



Strauss Weichsel. (Strauss) Brusseler Braune : Fruit conical, truncate ; 

 small to medium ; cavity deep, round ; stem i J^^ inches, slender ; suture 

 indistinct; apex smooth, lacking depression; color almost black; flesh 

 firm, colored, juicy ; stone globular ; flavor acid, astringent ; quality 

 medium. 



Tree of medium size, upright grower ; leaves medium ; moderately 

 hardy ; a shy bearer. No value for commercial purposes. 



Suda Hardy. (Suda) Morello: Fruit is heart-shaped, roundish, medium ; 

 cavity moderately deep and narrow ; stem medium stout, i to \]/{ inches ; 

 suture marked with line ; apex rounded ; skin thin and tender ; color 

 almost black when ripe ; flesh slightly colored, moderately firm ; juice 

 almost colorless ; stone rather long, oval, medium ; quality fair to good, 

 slightly acid. 



It is hard to distinguish the fruit of this from Wragg and English 

 Morello, the only essential difference being in the stem, but the tree is more 

 upright and can thus be readily distinguished from these varieties. It is a 

 good, prolific bearer with him. The photographs of these varieties bring 

 out the essential differences of stems which can be readily distinguished. 



Powell in the 12th Annual Report of the Delaware Station states that 

 this variety originated at Louisiana, Missouri, and there is no reason to be- 

 lieve that the old tree which was then 22 years old was not an English Mor- 

 ello. 



Timnie. Montmorency: Fruit oblate, medium ; cavity medium round; 

 stem I to i^ inches ; suture wanting; apex depressed ; surface smooth, 

 translucent ; color deep red ; skin astringent ; flesh light red with colorless
