Duke and Morello Cherries, 
These Cherries are different from the Heart and Bigarreau sorts, both 
in habit of tree and quality of fruit; the tree being of slower growth, 
with erect, thicker and deeper colored foilage. The Dukes have stout, 
erect branches, with bright or dark red fruit. Many of the varieties 
are sweet and pleasant for dessert, while the Morellos are invariably 
acid, and more used for culinary purposes; the tree being of slender 
habit, with spreading branches. These two classes are peculiarly 
adapted for Dwarfs and Pyramids on the Mahaleb stock; their hardi- 
ness makes them indispensable in localities where the Hearts and Bigar- 
reaus fail in consequence of severity of climate.
