Cherries From Russia.

That the cherry world has its bolshevik! is explained by Frank A. Waugh in the Country Gentleman. Speaking of the supremacy of certain American varieties, particularly the Morello, Montmorency and Early Richmond, he writes: “Their supremacy has been often challenged. Other varieties have been Offered by dozens and almost by hundreds. “The greatest competition arose through the Introduction of the socalled Russian cherries. These came along with the other Russian fruits, mainly in the importations of 1870 and 1883, and were exploited mainly in the Northwest states. “Prof. J. L. Budd propagated several of these sorts and recommended them highly. In this company were included Vladimir, Lutovka, Sklanka, Ostheim, George Glass, Double Natte, Lithauer, Brusseler, Braune, Bessarabian,’Bunte Amerelle and Spaete Amarelle. There were some others also, bearing the same flavor of northeast Germany and southwest Russia.”
