According to Truchsess, this variety was first mentioned by Christ as early as 1795, under the name, Roque Cherydere. Fruit of medium size, roundish, flattened; stem short; skin dark red; flesh white, with colorless juice, although a glistening red when pressed out, subacid; season early; medium productive; resembles Bunte Amarelle. =Amber.= _P. avium._ =1.= Kenrick _Am. Orch._ 272. 1832. This variety was found in an old garden in Providence, Rhode Island. Fruit below medium in size, perfectly round; amber, delicate red towards the sun; flesh melting, lively, very sweet; early. =Amber Gean.= _P. avium._ =1.= Downing _Fr. Trees Am._ 168. 1845. =2.= _Gard. Chron._ 1068. 1861. =3.= Hogg _Fruit Man._ 277. 1884. _Amber_? =4.= Rea _Flora_ 206. 1676. _Late Amber Gean._ =5.= Fish _Hardy-Fr. Bk._ =2=:105. 1882. This is probably the Amber of the old English writers--an attractive, small Gean or Mazzard. Tree bears abundantly; fruit small, obtuse-cordate, usually regular; stem long, slender, shallowly inserted; skin very thin, pellucid, exhibiting the texture of the flesh, pale yellow or amber, tinged with delicate red; flesh white, tender, juicy, melting, with a rich, sweet, pleasant flavor; ripens the last of July. =Ambrée de Guben.= _P. avium._ =1.= Mortillet _Le Cerisier_ =2=:118, 119, 303. 1866. =2.= Mas _Le Verger_ =8=:99, 100, fig. 48. 1866-73. _Gubener Bernsteinkirsche._ =3.= Truchsess-Heim _Kirschensort_. 342, 685. 1819. =4.= Dochnahl _Führ. Obstkunde_ =3=:42. 1858. This variety resembles Yellow Spanish; in fact the name is listed as a synonym of Yellow Spanish by Mortillet. We feel sure, however, that it is a distinct variety. Fruit large, roundish-cordate, truncate at the base; suture shallow; stem long; cavity wide, shallow; skin glossy, pale yellow washed with carmine in the sun; flesh firm, fibrous, sweet, with a sourness that disappears if allowed to remain on the tree; quality good; stone oval, slightly flattened at the base; ripens the first of July in France. =American Amber.= _P. avium._ =1.= Kenrick _Am.
