. Annual report of the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University and the Agricultural Experiment Station. New York State College of Agriculture; Cornell University. Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). Culture of the Cherry 1839 skin thick, tough; flesh dark-colored, firm, rich, juicy; flavor mildly sub- acid; quality excellent. Mid-season to late. One of the best commercial varieties in the West. Very satisfactory bearer. Has not been tested very widely in this State. Napoleon (Royal Ann).— Originated in Europe. Fruit large, heart- shaped, light lemon-yellow with red blush; stem long; skin thin, tough; flesh light yellow, firm, brittle, juicy; flavor sweet, rich; quality good. Mid-season. Probably the best light-colored sweet cherry. Tree vigorous and very productive. Fruit cracks and rots badly in wet weather when nearly ripe. Oxheart (Major Francis).— Originated in Europe. Fruit medium- sized, heart-shaped, light yellow with red surface color; stem long, slender; skin thin, tender; flesh soft and melting; flavor sweet, pleasant; qual- ity very good. Mid- season. This variety is excellent for the home garden or for the local market, but it is too tender for the general market. Windsor.— Origi- nated in Ontario, Canada. Fruit large, roundish, heart-shaped, dark purplish red; stem fairly long; flesh dark red, very firm, juicy; flavor sweet, pleasant; quality very good. Mid-season to late. This is one of the newer varieties of prominence that are rapidly growing in commercial importance. It is valuable because of its late season and good shipping qualities. It often cracks badly when nearly ripe. Spanish (Yellow Spanish).— Originated in Europe. Fruit large to very large, heart-shaped, light waxen yellow with a light red cheek on the sunny side; stem long; flesh firm; flavor rich, pleasant; quality good. Mid-season. Larger and of better quality than Napoleon, but not so productive. Inclined to crack when ripening.
