The typical cherry of northern Rus- sia is represented by theVladimir type. Fig. 1903. This was first introduced into America as a distinct variety. Later importations and experience demonstrated that Vladimir was a type, not a variety. This type appears to have been grown in Russia for centuries from seed and sprouts.
