black; very meaty and firm; so far 
free from all rot and disease; ripens 
late. Last July or early August. .

purplish black; half tender, juicy, very 
rich, excellent flavor; productive; free.

vigorous, spreading and irregular.' 
End of June. 
Governor Wood. — One of the best 
cherries; very large; light yellow, 
marbled with red; juicy, rich and de¬ 
licious; tree healthy and a great bear¬ 
er; hangs well on the tree; vigorous. 
Last of June. 
Napoleon. —Of fine appearance and 
the very largest size; yellow and am¬ 
ber, with bright red blush; flesh firm, 
juicy, delicious; profitable for market; 
finds a ready sale both for canning and 
dessert; forms a grand tree that ripens 
its heavy crops in July. 
Bockport.— Large, pale amber, with 
clear red; very handsome and excel¬ 
lent; good bearer. Early. 
Schmidt. — Remarkably hardy and 
productive. Fruit grows in clusters 
and of the largest size; a deep black 
color; flesh dark, tender, juicy, with 
a fine rich flavor; vigorous. July. 
Windsor. — Fruit large; liver-col¬ 
ored; flesh firm and of fine quality; 
tree very hardy; a valuable late vari¬ 
ety. July. 
Yellow Spanish (Biggarreau or Grafflon).—Very 
large, often an inch in diameter; pale yellow, with 
a handsome light red cheek next to the sun; flesh 
firm, with a fine, rich flavor; a general favorite. 
June. 
DUKE AND M0RELL0--SOUR. 
Baldwin.— Fruit very large; almost round; dark 
red, slightly sub-acid; the sweetest and richest of 
the Morello type. Remarkable for earliness, qual¬ 
ity, vigor, hardiness and productiveness; particu¬ 
larly profitable in the West. June. 
Dye House. —Fruit medium; skin bright red; flesh 
soft, juicy, tender, rather rich, sprightly „sub-acid; 
very productive, ripening a week before Early Rich¬ 
mond. June. 
Early Richmond (Kentish, Virginia, May).—Me¬ 
dium size; dark red; melting, juicy, sprightly acid 
flavor. This is one of the most valuable and popu¬ 
lar of the acid cherries, is unsurpassed for cooking 
purposes and exceedingly productive. June. 
Empress Eugenie. — Large, roundish, flattened; 
rich, dark red; flesh reddish, tender, rich, juicy, sub¬ 
acid; very good; stone small; tree rather dwarf in 
habit; shoots pretty stout; very productive. First 
of July. 
English Morello.— Large; dark purplish red; very 
juicy, rich and acid; a remarkably productive sort, 
ripening at the end of the cherry season. This 
must not be confounded with the old “Common 
Morello,” which is of very little value. First of 
August. 
Barge Montmorency. —A popular market variety; 
good for all purposes; vigorous grower, very pro¬ 
ductive; fruit large; light red; ten days later than 
Early Richmond. Last of June.

ish, regular; color rich dark, almost purplish black 
red; flesh red, tender, sprightly; mild acid; good to 
best. Middle of July.

rior and productive old sort. June.

hardy; skin dark red; flesh reddish, tender, juicy, 
sub-acid; valuable where extra hardy varieties are 
required. June. 
Heine Hortense. — Very fine, large, bright red; 
juicy, delicious and productive. July. 
Wragg.— Claimed to be much hardier than Eng¬ 
lish Morello, otherwise it seems to be an exact 
duplicate of that variety. July.
