Royal Ann type, originating in Lane coun- 
ty, Oregon, but maturing from four to six 
weeks later than this standard variety. 
Fully as large as the Royal Ann and pos- 
sessing all of its excellent qualities, but 
surpasses it in marketing features, especi- 
ally for sections west of the Cascade 
Mountains where cherry crops are fre- 
quently drmaged by rain just at the pick-

Black Republican. Ask for special litera-

ada. Fruit large, liver-colored; flesh re- 
markably firm and of fine quality. Tree
