Brown Best was introduced some twenty-five years ago by Brown Brothers,
Rochester, New York, having been budded from an old tree. Fruit large,
dark red, tender, sour, rich; quality good; very late; productive.

=Budd No. 533.= _P. cerasus._ =1.= _Wash. Sta. Bul._ =92=:14. 1910.
This is probably a Russian seedling sent out by Professor J. L. Budd,
Ames, Iowa. Tree small, round-topped, with slender, recumbent branches;
foliage scant, mostly on the tips of the branches; fruit very large,
roundish heart-shaped; stem short, thick; skin tough, thin, dark,

=Buffalo.= _P. avium._ =1.= _Gard. Mon._ =13=:150. 1871.
This cherry was received from Buffalo, New York, by Smiley Shepard of
Hennepen, Illinois, in the "fifties." The fruit with him proved very
hardy and productive and promised to become a valuable sweet variety for
prairie orchards. Mr. Shepard sent cions to different localities for
testing but nothing has been heard further about the variety.
=Bunte Morello.= _P. cerasus._ =1.= _Ia. Sta. Bul._ =19=:551. 1892. =2.=
Budd-Hansen _Am. Hort. Man._ =2=:273. 1903.

reddish; flesh light-colored, juicy.
=Burbank.= _P. avium._ =1.= Burbank _Cat._ 4, 19. 1911.
_Burbank Early._ =2.= Leonard Coates _Cat._ 1911.
This is another of Burbank's cherries, trees of which have not yet
fruited at the Station. Trees described as vigorous, sure croppers;
foliage very large; fruit very large, attractive deep crimson; season
very early. Its large leaves, it is claimed, protect the fruit from the
birds and from cracking during late spring rains.

_Kirschensort_. 166, 167, 1819. =2.= Mas _Pom. Gen._ =11=:91, 92, fig.
