Note: Siveet Chenies bear heavier and more regular 

 crops irhcre properly cross-pollinated, and tico or more 

 varieties should be planted together.

 peror Francis are incompatible; a third variety should 

 he planted with them. 



Sour Cherries are generally selj-jruitjul and will cross- 

 pollinate Sweet Cherries to a greater or lesser degree, 

 depending on seasonal bloom period variations. 



Varieties listed in order oj ripening 



SENECA (3501) Ripens two weeks before Black Tar- 

 tarian. The cherries resemble Black Tartarian — large, 

 round-cordate, purplish black, with juicy melting flesh and 

 a rich sweet flavor; the pit is free and the skin does not 

 crack. The tree is vigorous, productive, and has upright, 

 spreading habit of growth. Early. 



EARLY RIVERS (3502) This fine cherry is highly regard- 

 ed by cherry growers in eastern New York. Ripens a few days 

 later than Seneca and 10 days ahead of Black Tartarian. 

 It is larger and firmer in flesh than Tartarian. Crimson- 

 black in color and excellent quality for dessert. Early. 



BLACK TARTARIAN (3503) Very large; bright pur- 

 plish black; tender, juicy, very rich. Tree a remarkable vig- 

 orous and erect grower, and is an immense bearer. Early. 



VERNON (3505) The fruit is large, firm fleshed, black, 

 and ripens just before Bing. The tree is vigorous and pro- 

 ductive. 



VAN (3516) Large, sweet black cherry similar to Bing. 

 Bright, resists cracking, as large as Bing, slightly firmer 

 and ripens slightly earlier. Pollinates Bing and Lambert. 

 Pollinated by Bing, Lambert and Napoleon. 



BING (3506) This valuable black cherry succeeds everj'- 

 where. Flesh very solid; flavor of the highest quality. A 

 fine shipping and market variety. Midseason. 



NAPOLEON BIGARREAU (Royal Ann). (3507) A 

 beautiful cherry of large size, pale yellow with bright red 

 cheeks; flesh firm, juicy, and sweet. One of the best for 

 market. Midseason. 



EMPEROR FRANCIS (3508) Large, high quality 

 cherry of the Napoleon type. Ripens just before Napoleon 

 and is less subject to cracking. Promises to be one of the 

 best main-crop sweet cherries of the Napoleon type. Mid- 

 season. 



BLACK RUSSIAN (3509) One of our finest new, 

 hardy sweet cherry varieties. Trees are vigorous, very 

 hardj', and highly productive. Crops are seldom affected 

 by low winter temperatures or spring frosts. Fruits are 

 medium in size, do not crack, and show little tendency to 

 brown rot before picking. Cherries are almost black in 

 color, freestone, and very flavorful. Ripens just before 

 Schmidt. 



SCHMIDT'S BIGARREAU (3510)Thisfruitisverylarge 

 size, with a fine rich flavor. Fruit grows in clusters. Is an 

 excellent shipper. Tree is vigorous and one of the hard- 

 iest of all sweet cherries. Midseason. 



HEDELFINGEN (351 2) Ripens just ahead of Windsor 

 and Lambert. Its performance in New York, Canada and 



Europe justifies its being recommended as a large, firm- 

 fleshed, high quality, late black cherry of the Lambert 

 type. The fruit has the valuable attribute of being more 

 resistant to cracking than most cherries. 



LAMBERT (3513) One of the largest of all cherries. It is 

 purple-red, firm and rich. Every j-ear sees an enormous 

 crop. The tree not only grows well, but is very resistant 

 to insect and fungus attacks. Midseason. 



WINDSOR (3514) Tree upright, vigorous and a rapid 

 grower. Fruit almost black, very firm and juicy ; flesh pink- 

 ish and sometimes streaked. Quality very good ; a produc- 

 tive bearer. A leading commercial variety, used widely 

 for pollination purposes. Midseason.
