GERMAN Ostheimer, Stark Denver Orchards CHERRIES ^ GERMAN OSTHEIMER (Weichsel).-This grand cherry (not the Rus- sian, nor the Minn., nor the Cerise de Ostheim) is superior to others of the Eng. Morello type. Has done remarkably well both here and in Stark Denver orchards—where, in '89, both it and Suda bore 2 quarts each on little trees less than 14 months planted,—since, a single crop has paid over $7 a tree. Mont. 0. has also done exceedingly well in Colo.—where Richmond and Dyehouse bloom too early, fm. NNCS. Brought from Germany to Kan., where it was beginning to attract much attention about the time the inferior Ostheims were exploited; when, because of similarity in name, they were assumed to be identical—greatly to the loss of cherry culture generally. Genuine German 0. has made a great" reputa- tion ; but is bushy, hard and costly to grow. The Ostheims are strong, easily grown; unscrupulous have been quick to sell Ostheimer and send Ostheim, and the average buyer cannot know they are counterfeit until bearing time. In Colo, where cherries pay over $ 1000 per acre, and German 0. is a favorite, the Ostheims will not please. The genuine is large, heart shaped, almost black when ripe, full of purple juice, exceedingly rich, less acid than Eng. Morello, Suda or Wragg; good for dessert and for kitchen uses. Very hardy both in tree and fruit bud, blooms late, and even young trees bend under their weight of fruit with unfailing regularity; no rot, no failures,—some years has pelded twice as much as any other kind. A week later than Suda and Eng. Morello; less leaves, easier to pick. Hangs late—till end of Aug. in Colo. Is seidom wormy, while English Morello is nearly always so.—A. H. Griesa, Exp. Orchard.
