Lyons seems never to have been grown in America, though known for more than 
a century in Europe. Of the many sweet cherries tested on the grounds at this 
Station during the past 20 years, it is one of the best blacks for an extra early 
market cherry. The tree characters are about all that could be desired in a sweet 
cherry. This is the cherry, with Seneca, to open the cherry season.

Royal Duke has long been grown in Europe to follow May Duke. The trees are 
hardy, healthy, and productive. The cherries are large, handsome, bright red, 
well scattered along the branches, pleasantly flavored, refreshing, and very good 
in quality. Royal Duke has a place in home orchards for roadside and local 
markets—everyone likes a Duke.
