“New York 591—is the best sweet cherry to follow Lambert. It ripens two 
weeks later than Lambert. It is a medium-sized, black cherry with flesh 
which is slightly tough until it is dead ripe. The flavor is sweet and good. 
Little cracking has been observed in this variety. The tree is very vigorous 
and moderately productive. 
“New York 1495—is a large, firm-fleshed, black cherry which ripens before 
Early Rivers. It is the earliest firm-fleshed type, being more than a week 
earlier than Schrecken. The quality is very good and it is the best in its 
season, : 
“New York 1507—is a productive variety ripening about Schmidt season. The 
fruit is medium to large, attractive and black in color. The flesh is sweet, 
firm and crisp and the quality is very good. 
“New York 1512—has a dark mahogany color. The flesh is firm, crisp and juicy 
with a sweet and sprightly flavor which is very good. It is larger and more 
attractive, but probably more susceptible to brown rot and cracking than 
Schmidt with which it ripens. 
~\New York 1519—is a productive cherry ripening a few days later than 
Schmidt. The fruit is large and very dark in color. The flesh is firm, crisp, 
juicy, sweet and of good quality. This cherry appears to be more resistant 
to cracking than most varieties. 
“Noble—is a late dark-colored firm-fleshed sweet cherry for market and home 
use. Its season of ripening is between Schmidt and Hedelfingen. The fruit 
is large, heart-shaped, slightly flattened at the apex, dark-purplish red and 
of high quality. The fruits seem to crack less than those of several of the 
late sweet cherries. It is an old English variety and has performed well 
at Geneva. 
Royal Duke—has long been grown in Europe to follow May Duke. The trees 
are hardy, healthy, and productive. The cherries are large, handsome, dark 
red, well scattered along the branches, pleasantly flavored, refreshing, and 
very good in quality. Royal Duke has a place in home orchards for road- 
side and local markets. 
~ Schrecken—resembles Early Rivers but is a little later in season and has a 
longer stem and a more oval stone. It is a large heart-shaped, glossy black 
cherry, handsome in appearance. The flesh is melting but firmer than the 
early-ripening sweets, moderately sweet, and full of aromatic dark-colored 
juice. The season approximates that of Black Tartarian but the larger 
size of the fruit and the firmer flesh make the variety more valuable than 
Black Tartarian. The tree is vigorous but only moderately productive. 
~Seneca—is a remarkably early cherry, being more than two weeks earlier 
than Black Tartarian. Its main difficulty is that unless protected by an open- 
meshed cloth the fruit may be destroyed by birds. The cherries resemble 
those of Black Tartarian in being round-cordate, purple-black, with juicy 
melting flesh, and a rich, sweet flavor. The pit is free and the skin does not
