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.
