EARLY MORELLO. P. Ccrasm. About all that can be said in praise of Early Morello is that the trees are hardy, healthy, vigorous, fruitful, and regular in bearing. The cherries show the variety to be of the Amarelle group, but are such as to make it far inferior to Montmorency and other well-known Amarelles. The name is misleading, as the variety has little in common, in fruit or tree, with the true Morellos. Early Morello was introduced by Professor J. L. Budd from Orel, Russia, as Orel No. 23. The tree has proved very pro- ductive and hardy throughout the West. The cherries resemble those of Early Richmond, though smaller, a trifle darker, less acid, and appearing a week later. A dark-fleshed variety from Erfurt, Prussia, was sent out from Rose- dale, Kansas, where it is known as Early Morello. Tree of medium size and vigor, upright-spreading, very productive. Leaves 2% inclies long, 1^/z inclies wide, thick, stiff, dark green, rather glossy, smooth; margin finely and doubly serrate, with small, dark glands; petiole glandless or with 1-3 small, globose, brown or yellowish glands. Flowers late, 1 inch across. Fruit midseason; about % inch in diameter, oblate, com- pressed ; color dark red ; stem 1 inch long, adhering to the fruit; skin thin, tender, separating from the pulp ; flesh light yellow, with pinkish juice, tender and melt- ing, sprightly, tart; of very good quality; stone free, ovate, flattened, slightly pointed, with smooth surfaces, somewhat tinged with red. EARLY PURPLE GUIGNE. Fig. 120. P. avium. Early Pur- ple. Purple Guigne. Early Purple Guigne is a valuable cherry on account of the earli- ness, attractiveness, and high quality of its fruits. The trees bear well and regularly after having become estab- lished in the orchard, but are poor
