DUKE AND MORELLO CHERRIES 
These, for the most part, are round-headed; fruit generally acid, though some 
varieties have a 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 ot stocky, upright 
growth. Both are more hardy than the Hearts or Bigarreaus, and in large demand 
where the latter cannot be grown to advantage.
