This indicated a marked increase in the industry since the census of VARIETIES Cultivated cherries are divided into two species, of which one includes the sweet and the other the sour varieties. Sweet cherries are developed from Prunus avium, and sour cherries from Prunus cerasus. Sweet cherries have a very characteristic growth. The trees are tall and erect, and have a glossy bark which is reddish in color and tends to peel in rings. The sweet cherry grows wild along woodlands and roadsides in many parts of this country, and is known as the Mazzard. From the species avium have sprung three cultiva- ted types: I. Hearts.— Erect and vigorous growers; fruit heart-shaped, sweet, soft, light or dark color. Tartarian, Black Eagle, and El- ton are examples of this type. II. Bigarreaus.— Tree somewhat more spreading than the Hearts; fruit heart-shaped, but with firm, crisp flesh, sweet, light or dark. Napoleon, Windsor, and Spanish. III. Dukes.— Growth smaller, with stout upright branches; fruit round, moderately tender, juicy, light-colored; flesh acid or subacid, light red to dark reddish brown. May Duke, Reine Hortense, and Late Duke. This class is probably a cross between Prunus avium and Prunus cerasus, although the characteristics of the sweet type predominate. Sour cherries.— The trees have a low, spreading form. The bark is much darker than that of sweet cherries; it does not possess a glossy appearance nor incline to peel in large strips, as does that of sweet cherries. The fruit is generally round, red, soft, and sour. This species may be divided into two types: I. Amarel
