Red Jacket was raised in 1842 by Professor J. P. Kirtland, Cleveland, Ohio, from a 

 pit of Yellow Spanish, crossed with Black Tartarian, Black Mazzard, or May Duke. It 

 was formerly grown commercially in this cotmtry and Europe because of its productive- 

 ness and quality. Tree very vigorous, upright-spreading, hardy, very productive; fruit 

 large, long, obtuse-cordate; stem rather long, slender; skin thin, pale red becoming rather 

 bright red; flesh yellowish-wliite, half -tender, juicy, pleasant, somewhat astringent imtil 

 fully ripe when it becomes sweet; good in quality; stone medium in size; ripens in late 

 mid-season.

 good quality.

 Bui. 19:551. 1892. 



This name has been given by some writers as a synonym of Carnation but Red Oranien 

 as introduced into America from Russia appears to be distinct and is probably another of 

 the Duke hybrids. Tree productive; fruit large, dark red, mildly subacid. 

 Red Rock. P. cerasus. i. Can. Exp. Farms Rpt. 434. 1905. 



Fruit of the MoreUo type, round; stem long, inserted in a noticeable cavity; skin 

 clear red; flesh reddish-yellow with colored juice, mild but pleasantly acid, refreshing; 

 ripens late in July. 

 Red Russian. Species? i. Kenrick Am. Orch. 23 •;. 1841. 



The original name of this variety was lost in importing it from Russia to Brookl}^, 

 New York, about 1800. Fruit large, dark red, good; productive; ripens in August. 

 Reichart. Species? i. Pa. Fr. Gr. Soc. Rpt. 11. 1881.

 Reine-Hortense HMve. P. avium X P cerasus. i. Thomas Guide Prat. 28. 1876.
