  "(No.

  A 
  variety 
  of 
  cherry 
  originated 
  by 
  Mr. 
  

   I. 
  V. 
  Mijurin 
  at 
  Kozlov, 
  and 
  named 
  by 
  him 
  Knyashnaia 
  Severa, 
  meaning 
  Queen 
  

   of 
  the 
  North. 
  Fruits 
  large, 
  of 
  pale-red 
  color, 
  and 
  fresh 
  sour-sweet 
  flavor, 
  

   ripening 
  toward 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  June; 
  possesses 
  excellent 
  shipping 
  and 
  keeping 
  

   qualities 
  and 
  persists 
  on 
  the 
  trees 
  even 
  when 
  over 
  ripe. 
  Trees 
  of 
  vigorous, 
  

   straight 
  growth, 
  making 
  but 
  few 
  side 
  branches; 
  trunks 
  smooth 
  and 
  clean. 
  This 
  

   variety 
  seems 
  to 
  give 
  special 
  satisfaction 
  in 
  dry, 
  cold 
  climates 
  like, 
  for 
  instance, 
  

   that 
  of 
  Samara 
  Government, 
  Russia, 
  where 
  cherries 
  as 
  a 
  rule 
  grow 
  very 
  poorly. 
  

   It 
  is 
  considered 
  in 
  Russia 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  decided 
  acquisition 
  to 
  their 
  hardy 
  fruit 
  trees 
  

   and 
  will 
  no 
  doubt 
  be 
  found 
  of 
  special 
  value 
  in 
  the 
  northern 
  sections 
  of 
  the 
  

   United 
  States.
