_Büttner's October._ =9.= Hogg _Fruit Man._ 288. 1884.
Produced from seed about 1800, by Büttner. As one of the latest of all
cherries, it was at one time considered of value for culinary purposes
and for a time was grown to a limited extent in this country. The
American Pomological Society placed it on its fruit catalog list in 1862
but dropped it in 1869. Tree hardy, productive; fruit often hangs to the
tree till October, large, round, somewhat oblate; suture indistinct;
apex depressed; stem long, slender; cavity shallow; skin thin but firm,
reddish-brown, separating easily from the pulp; flesh light red,
reticulated with whitish fibers, firm, breaking, juicy, sweet, rich,
mingled with pleasant subacid; quality good; stone large, oval,
semi-clinging; ripens the last of August and early September.

=Cameleon.= Species? =1.= Parkinson _Par. Ter._ 574. 1629.
A strange cherry, changeable in color, spoken of by Parkinson because of
its peculiarities. The fruit is very red in color and of good taste, but
varies greatly in color, shape and arrangement. It also bears blossoms,
green and ripe fruit at the same time.
=Cardinalskirsche.= _P. avium._ =1.= Christ _Obstbäume_ 159. 1791. =2.=

A cherry similar to the Doctorkirsche in both tree- and
fruit-characters; fruit dark brown, with a subacid flavor.
