Montlate Cherry 
2 Weeks After Montmorency 
Bears Heavier Than English Morello 
“Montlate is a late-ripening sport of Mont- 
morency,” states Prof. Taft, former MICH- 
IGAN State Horticulturist. ‘I consider Mont- 
late to be a definite fixed sport of Montmorency. 
Fully equal to Montmorency in young and 
heavy bearing. The fruit sells for the same high 
prices as English Morello and the trees are 
certainly MORE PRODUCTIVE—and the 
cherries are even larger than Montmorency, 
due to the prolonged season of ripening. The 
entire crop ripens uniformly on the tree, which 
is very vigorous and does not show any injury 
from leaf spot. This variety has also withstood 
winter temperature of 28 degrees below zero 
without apparent injury.”

‘‘A Great Boon to Growers 
and to Canners’’ 
Prof. U. P. Hedrick, noted author of 
“CHERRIES OF NEW YORK” and former 
State Horticulturist of NEW YORK, reports: 
“I and all my associates here believe these two 
cherries (Montearly and Montlate) to be en- 
tirely distinct—and VERY MERITORIOUS in 
that they extend the canning season for sour 
cherries, both before and after the Montmorency 
season. Canners tell me that these early and 
late Montmorencies WILL BE A GREAT 
BOON TO THE GROWERS AND 
CANNERS.,” 
Prof. G. H. Howe, of N. Y. Exp. Station, 
NEW YORK, recently wrote: ‘‘The Montlate 
trees you sent us two years ago, fruited this 
year, having made a splendid growth since 
planting. The fruit ripened 2 weeks later than 
Montmorency but otherwise is no different from 
Montmorency. The trees are of the same habit 
of growth as Montmorency—the fruit is of the 
same fine color. 
“Fruit from 1-year Trees.”? “I was pleas- 
antly surprised to see cherry blossoms on my 
Stark Montlate cherry the year following piant-

Canner 
“Tt ripens 2 weeks later than Montmorency,”’ 
reports John Porter of East Jordan (Mich.) 
Canning Co., large canners of fancy cherries. 
“The Montlate extends the Mont. season for 
gathering the crop, as well as that for operating 
the canning factory. This is greatly to our ad- 
vantage, both as cherry growers and as canning 
factory operators. We have planted several acres 
of this variety (MONTLATE) in our own or- 
chards—and will plant the early variety (MONT- 
EARLY) also.”

““Montearly, Montmorency Stark and 
Montlate, make it possible to have fresh pies 
three times the usual period. They prolong the 
harvesting, so orchards can be picked with one- 
third the number of pickers, and Canneries can 
Operate 6 or 8 weeks instead of 2 or 3, thus 
greatly reducing costs and increasing profits.’

“Tn the Fal! of 1941 I planted 4 to 7 foot Mont-

these trees bore 3 to 4 dozen cherries.’ Mrs.
