Sandra, I primarily consulted with the classic text "The Cherries of  
New York" which has lengthy descriptions of nearly all of them; it is  
available online if you don't have a copy.  Since I have no personal  
experience with any of them it is hard for me to recommend any  
variety, but based on what I could find out I ordered Black Eagle,  
Waterloo, Kirtlands Mary, and Early Purple.  If I were to order only  
one it would have been Black Eagle.
