Last of June. 
DUKE AND MORELLO CHERRIES. 
These two classes of cherries are very distinct from the preceding. The 
trees 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 
Hortense, quite sweet fruit, while the Morellos have slender, spreading 
branches and acid fruit invariably. These two classes are peculiarly appro- 
priate for dwarfs and pyramids on the Mahaleb stock, and their hardiness 
renders them well worthy of attention in localities where the Heart and 
Bigarreau are too tender. 
BALDWIN CHERRY— This cherry is a seedling of the English Morello, 
and it was originally planted for an Early Richmond, which had been budded 
on a seedling of the English Morello. The budded part was accidentally 
broken off and a sprout came from the root, which was so vigorous that it 
was allowed to grow. The tree is an upright grower, more inclined to be 
round than otherwise. A very rank, vigorous grower; leaves rather broad- 
bloom pure white, which turns to pink color, similar to the Hydrangea; fruit 
very large almost perfectly round; very dark, yet almost transparent; flavor 
slightly sub-acid, yet the sweetest and richest of the Morello type- stems 
rather large, of medium length, more inclined to grow in pairs than in clus- 
ters; it is remarkable for earliness, vigor and hardiness. 
DYEHOUSE— Partakes of both the Duke and Morello in wood and fruit- a 
very early and sure bearer; ripens a week before Early Richmond, of better 
quality and quite as productive. 
ENGLISH MORELLO— Medium to large; blackish red; rich, acid juicy 
and good; very productive. August. 
KENTiSH (Early Richmond)— Medium size; dark red; melting, juicy, 
sprightly acid flavor. This is one of the most valuable and popular of the 
acid cherries, and is unsurpassed for cooking purposes. Tree a slender grow- 
er, with a roundish, spreading head, and is exceedingly productive; the most 
hardy Of all varieties; uninjured by the coldest winters, when almost every 
other variety has been killed. Ripens through June. 
LATE DUKE— Large; light red; late and fine. Last of July. 
MAY DUKE— Large; red; juicy and rich; an old, excellent variety vig- 
orous and productive. Middle of June. 
MONTMORENCY LARGE— A large, red cherry; larger than Early Rich- 
mond and fully 10 days later.
