Lutovka. 



A Russian variety of the Mor- 



ello type. Tree an exceedingly 



vigorous grower, very productive. Fruit of 

 large size, nearly round, red; flesh, firm, good 

 quality, sprightly acid. It clings very tena- 

 ciously to the stem. Color and size of the well 

 known English Morello. 



LATE RICHMOND.— A fine old variety resem- 

 bling Early Richmond in shape and color, 

 but ripening about 3 weeks later. 

 MONTMORENCY.— Tree very hardy and an im- 

 mense bearer; commences to fruit while 

 young, and is loaded annually thereafter 

 with fine crops. Fruit very large, fine flavot 

 and of bright, clear, shining red; valuable 

 everywhere; a week later than Early Rich- 

 mond. The finest acid cherry. We cannot recommend this fine old variety too higlily for 

 we believe it is one of the best, if not the very best ever inti-oduced. 



OREL NO. 24.— Russian. Fruit medium to large; round, slightly flattened, light red, ripening 

 with Lntovka. Of juicy, mildly acid , good flavor. 



ninrof 'J'^is variety promises to be ofthe greatest value. Differing from nearly all other sorts, 

 UIIVtiLi it is a very shining deep red, and continues fruiting through most ofjuneand July 



without losing its quality. Fruit large; flesh 

 red, with rose-colored juice, tender, rich and 

 vinous, with mild, sub-acid flavor. As fertile 

 and productive as the best of the Duke sorts, 

 and probably the largest of this class 



These require a dry soil, being naturally hardy and thrive in the lightest soil or driest location. 

 We offer this season for tlie first time some new Russian varieties, which have been thorougly 

 tested at the state experimental farm as well as on our own grounds, found perfectly hardy, 

 produce the finest fruit and are considered the best sorts ever introduced. The Heart or Big 

 arreau varieties (marked B) are of rapid growth, with large glossy leaves, forming fine, pyra- 

 midal-shaped heads, and producing large cro.ps of luscious' fruit. They are well adapted for 

 street or lawn planting for shade trees. The Dukes and Morellos generally produce acid fruit, 

 do not attain so large a size, are generally hardier and the fruit better adapted for shii^jDitig 

 purposes.

 urged. It far exceeds the apple in its melting, 

 juic3' texture, rich refined flavor, and the range 

 oif varieties is such that by a judicious selection, 

 the ripening season beginning in July can be 

 continued in succession into winter. We can . sup- 

 ply the following well known kinds.
