 , ored cherries. Tree erect, vigorous and productive. End of June. 



CLASS lil.-DUKE AND MORELLO CHERRIES. 



These two classes of cherries are very distinct from the preceding. The trees are of 

 smaller size, and grow more slowly; the leaves are thicker and more erect, and of a deeper 

 green. The fruit is generally round, and in color varying from light red to dark brown. 



The Dukes have stout, erect branches usually, and some of them, like Reine Hor- 

 tense, quite sweet fruit; while the Morellos have slender, spreading branches, and acid 

 fruit invariably. These two classes are peculiarly appropriate for dwarfs and pyramids, 

 on the Mahaleb "stock, and their hardiness renders them well worthy of attention in local- 

 ities where the Heart and Bigarreau are too tender. 



Arch Duke — Large; bright red, but becomes very dark when fully ripe; flesh melting, 

 juicy, rich, sub-acid. Tree rather more vigorous and upright than the May Duke; 

 hardy and prolific. Ripe first and second week in July. 



Belle Mag'nifiqiie — A magnificent, large, red, late cherry, excellent for cooking and 

 fine for table when fully ripe; rather acid, tender, juicy and rich. Tree a slow 

 grower, but a most profuse bearer; makes a fine dwarf or pyramid on the Mahaleb. 

 Last of July. Very valuable. 



Early Richmond — An early red, acid cherry; very valuable for cooking early in the 

 season. Ripens through June. Tree £ifree grower, hardy, healthy and very pro- 

 ductive. 



Empress Eugenie — Large, dark red; flesh juicy, rich; tree robust, and moderately 

 productive. 



Late Duke — Large; light red; late and excellent. Tree robust, and makes a nice 

 dwarf or pyramid. End of July. Valuable. 



May Duke — An old, well-known, excellent variety; large; dark red; juicy, sub-acid,

 dwarfs and pyramids. Middle of June.

 class; tree 2ifree grower, hardy and prolific.

 great value. Tree a//'^e grower.
