Tree of medium size, vigorous, upright-spreading but with droop- ing branchlets, dense, round- topped, unproductive. Leaves SV^ inches lonii, 1% inches wide, obo- vatp. thick, grooved along the midrib ; margin finely and doubly serrate ; petiole 1 inch long, with 1-4 small, globose, yellowish- green glands. Flowers late, 1 inch across, white ; borne in scat- tering clusters in threes and fours. Fruit very late; 1 inch in diam- eter, variable in size, round-cor- date, compressed ; cavity of medi- um depth, marrow, abrupt; suture very shallow, indistinct; apex rounded, with a small depression at the center; color light red changing to dark red as the sea- son advances; dots numerous, small, dark russet, inconspicuous ; stem 2 %, inches long, with small leaflets at the base, strongly ad- herent to the fruit; skin thin, ten- der, separates readily from the pulp; flesh dark red, witli dark- colored juice, tender and melting, somewhat astringent, sour ; of fair cjuality ; stone nearly free when fully mature, round-oval, plump, blunt-pointed; surfaces smooth.

The fruit is not attractive enough in appearance nor good enough in quality; nor is the tree certain and fruitful enough in bear- ing to compete with other Amarelles. The saving grace of Bunte x\marelle is extreme hardiness of tree; this with vigor and health, makes it desirable in the cold prairie regions of the Great Plains, where cherry-growing is more or less precarious. The variety probably originated in Germany in the latter part of
