DUKE AND MORELLO CHERRIES 
T^HESE, for the most part, are round-headed ; fruit generally acid, though 
* some varieties have a very rich, pleasant flavor. The trees are naturally 
of a smaller growth than the preceding class and well adapted for dwarfs or 
Pyramids. The Morellos are more slender and spreading in habit than the 
Dukes, which are of stocky, upright growth. Both are more hardy than the 
Hearts and Bigarreaus, and in large demand where the latter cannot be grown 
to advantage. 
Baldvnn. — Tree, upright, vigorous grower, 
forming round head; leaves large, broad; fruit 
large, almost round, very dark, transparent 
wine color; flavor slightly acid, yet the sweet- 
est and richest of the Morello type; unexcelled 
in earliness, vigor, hardiness, quality and pro- 
ductiveness. 
Compass. — Originated at Springfield, Minn. 
It is a cross between tlie Sand Cherry and the 
Minor Plum. Kruit nearly an inch in diameter, 
a bright red, sweet, juicy, fine flavor. Tree ab- 
solutely hardy in tliat severe climate. A reg- 
ular and heavy bearer, bearing fruit the next 
year after setting out. For exposed situations, 
it is the Cherry for the Great Northwest. Of 
no value in the East. 
Dyehouse.— One of the best Sour Cherries 
for market or home use. It is larger, finer, of 
better quality and has a smaller pit than 
Early Richmond. The tree is hardy, is an up- 
right grower and always productive. The 
great quality of this variety is its tendency 
to hang on the tree after it is ripe. Several 
varieties that ripen later can be picked before 
this Dyehouse Cherry drops. 
Early Richmond.— One of the most popular 
of all the acid Cherries. It cannot be sur- 
passed for hardiness or for cooking purposes. 
The fruit is of medium size, round and dark 
red. The flesh is tender, juicy and sub-acid. 
The tree is a wonderful bearer. Fruit ripens 
in June. 
English Morello.— Medium sized Cherry of a 
very dark red color, sometimes nearly black. 
It is very acid in flavor, the flesh is of good 
quality and it makes a fine canner. Tree is a 
small grower with light limbs and trunk. 
Ripens in July. 
Empress Eugenie.— Fruit large, dark red, 
very rich, tender and sub-acid. Ti'ee heads 
very low. Ripe about July 1st. 
Late Duke.— Large, light red, late and fine. 
Last of July. 
Louis Phillippe.— A large dark red Cherry; 
flesh is tender and mildly acid. Ripens middle 
of July. 
May Duke.— Large, red, juicy and rich; an 
old excellent variety; vigorous and productive. 
Middle of June. 
Montmorency.- This is the best of all the 
sour varieties of Cherries. There is a greater 
demand on the market for this Cherry than 
for any other. The trees are the cleanest and 
best growers and are less subject to disease, 
less afl'ected by wet weather, and are the best 
bearers of the best fruit of all other sour varie- 
ties. No matter how unfavorable the season 
may be, Montmorency can be depended upon 
for a full crop. The Montmorency is a good 
shipper, very attractive looking and always 
brings good prices. The canning factories are 
always calling for them and want them by 
the hundreds of tons. The fruit is good sized, 
fine flavored and bright, clear shining red. The 
flesh is of fine quality and sub-acid. Fruit 
ripens 10 days after Early Richmond. 
Ostheime. — This variety is known as the 
"Russian Cherry" as it was imported from St. 
Petersburg, Russia, and has been tested in 
the severest winters of Minnesota and found 
to be perfectly hardy. The fruit is large and 
roundish. Flesh is liver colored, tender, juicy 
and almost sweet, although a sub-acid Cherry. 
Quality is fine Ripens about the middle of 
July. 
Olivet. — A new Duke of French origin. Un- 
like most others of this class, it is said to be 
very early and to ripen over a long period. 
Fruit very large, globular, and of a deep shin- 
ing red; tender, rich and vinous, with a sweet, 
sub-acidulous flavor. 
Reine Hortense.— Very fine, large, bright red, 
juicy and delicious, vigorous and productive. 
Wragg. — Fruit large, bright red, tran.slucent; 
stalk long; flesh firm, rich, sweet, excellent.
