SWEET SEPTEMBER CHERRY 



There is no previous record in the history of Horti- 

 culture of a fall-bearing cherry until accidentlly dis- 

 covered by an amateur Horticulturist in Northwestern 

 Ohio. This sweet cherry tree, for some unknown reason, 

 ripens in September instead of June. The tree blossoms 

 at the same time as other standard varieties and is ap- 

 parently hardier in the bud than average sweet cher- 

 ries. The fruits are an attractive medium dark red simi- 

 lar to the Winds_or, deliciously sweet, excellent for eat- 

 ing fresh or canning. It ripens in Ohio from about 

 September first until snow flies, which makes it valu- 

 able for roadside markets, as the fruit can be sold 

 over a long period of time. It is a remarkable fact 

 that the young trees produce fruit two or three years 

 after planting and continue there-after to bear full crops. 

 The original tree has produced a crop of fine fruit year 

 after year without being sprayed. Apparently, the tree 

 is free from rot, leaf spot, and curculio injury.
