NAPOLEON. 



MONTMORBNCY. 



Of all the Morello cherries, this seems to us the most profitable. The tree is one 

 of the most vigorous in its class, the fruit being large and abundant. This and the 

 Early Richmond cover the season very well, and are the two leading Kentish varieties 

 for market. In France, this cherry has many synonyms, as, for example, Montmorency, 

 a longue queue, Petit-Gobet, etc. 



ORIGIN: Montmorency valley, in France, in middle of 17th century. 



TREE: hardy, healthy, fairly vigorous, very productive and an early bearer. 



FBUJT: attached in ones and twos; size, f long by i inch broad; form, roundish, 

 almost flattened at apex; skin, bright, shiny red, becoming darker at maturity, easily 

 detached from the flesh; stem, 14 inches long, in a rather large cavity. 



MONTMORENCY.
