ripening toward the end of June: possesses excellent shipping and keeping 
qualities and persists on the trees even when over ripe. Trees of vigorous, 
straight growth, making but few side branches: trunks smooth and clean. This 
variety seems to give special satisfaction in dry, cold climates like, for instance, 
that of Samara Government. Russia, where cherries as a rule grow very poorly. 
It is considered in Russia to be a decided acquisition to their hardy fruit trees 
and will no doubt be found of special value in the northern sections of the 
United States." (Meyer.)
