BUTTNER'S OCTOBER (B«tt?ier'« Spate WeicJisel; Buttner's Sep- 

 tember arid Octoberweichsel ; Buttner's October Sukei'weuihsel ; Buttner's 

 October Morello). — Fruit, large, round and flattened, somewhat oblate, 

 with no suture, and indented at the apex, in which is the small 

 russety dot. Skin, thin, separating freely from the flesh, and of a 

 reddish brown colour. Stalk, slender, two inches long, set in a shallow 

 depression. Flesh, light red, reticulated with whitish veins, juicy, 

 and with a pleasant sub-acid flavour. 



This is a very excellent acid cherry, and useful for all culinary pur- 

 poses. It ripens in October, and is the latest of all cherries. The 

 tree is a good bearer, and succeeds well as a standard. It was raised 

 by Biittner, of Halle.

BUTTNER'S YELLOW [Biittner's Gelbe Knorpelkirsche ; Biittner's 

 Wachsknorpelkirsche; Jaune de Biittner; Wachsknorpelkirsche). — 

 Fruit, medium sized, roundish heart-shaped, flattened at the stalk and 

 on one side, and a little indented at the apex. Skin, clear pale yellow, 

 and without any tinge of red, but if it hangs long on the tree it 

 becomes brownish spotted. Stalk, stout, from an inch and a half to 

 two inches long, inserted almost even with the fruit. Flesh, pale, 

 very firm, but juicy, and of a sweet and particularly rich flavour. 

 Stone, rather small, roundish ovate, and separates freely. 



It is the best of all the yellow cherries, and well deserving of culti- 

 vation. It ripens in the middle and end of July. The tree is very 

 healthy, vigorous, and hardy, succeeds well as a standard, and is a 

 regular and abundant bearer. It was raised by Biittner, of Halle, 

 and introduced in 1803.
