VLADIMIR. P. Cerasus. Vladimir is a Morello-like cherry not more promising than any other of the many competitors of English Morello. The cherries are large, very similar in size and appearance to those of English Morello; the pit is small; the skin is very thin and separates readily from the pulp; the fiesh is dark red with dark-colored juice, and too astringent and sour for dessert, but very good for culinary purposes. The tree is much like that of English Morello, but is more dwarf and not so productive, and ripens its fruit very unevenly. Vladimir has the reputation of being one of the hardiest of all cherries. It is said to come true from seed and to do better on its own roots than on either Mazzard or Mahaleb. The Russians succeed best with it when it is propagated from sprouts and al- lowed to form a bushy plant with several stems, the oldest of which are cut from time to time. Vladimir is a generic name for a group of varieties grown in Russia in the province of Vladimir, east of Moscow. J. L. Budd, Ames, Iowa, imported a number of these Vladimir cherries from central Russia about 1880. Tree dwarfish, round-topped, very hardy, productive. Leaves numerous, 3 inches long, 1% inches wide, oval, thick; mar
