Descriptive and illustrated catalogue of fruit trees, ornamental plants and roses . descriptiveillus1895atla Year: 1895 JUNEBERRY. IMPROVED CHERRY. Improved Dwarf Rocky Mountain Cherry. This is a shrub, which originally grew wild in the mountains. The fruit has been greatly improved by cultivation, and it is claimed to be, when fully ripe, the best fruit of its season. The fruit is jet black when ripe, and in size averages somewhat larger than the English Morello. Its flavor is similar to the sweet Cherries. The intro- ducer says : ' I could sell wagon loads of these Cherries at 10 cents per quart. I have kept 200 of these trees, which I intend to sell to reliable parties who desire them for testing. The young trees I have are 1 year from seed. I have had them loaded down at 2 years of age from seed. They never failed to bear fruit every year ; late frosts never affect them ; the tree is entirely hardy; it has endured 40° below zero without injury ; ripens when all others are gone. The shrub would grace any lawn when in blossom. The fruit is more easily pitted than other Cherries. It is a very enjoyable fruit, either eaten fresh or for preserving. Those who know it do not hesitate to commend it in highest terms to gardeners and fruit growers. For preserves, or to eat out of hand, it has no equal in the line of pitted fruits, and is free from every known insect and disease. It will endure longer drouth and more severe cold than any other va- riety of the Cherry.' The merits of this fruit leave little to be desired. Improved dwarf rockv mountain cherry.
