This cherry is now of historical interest only. It has been called Cerise Guigne since 

 Duhamel described it in 1768, and may be the variety known long ago by the Romans 

 as Cecilienne. There is no record to show that Cerise Gvdgne was ever brought to Amer- 

 ica. Tree large, vigorous, productive; fruit of medium size, roundish-cordate, flattened 

 at the base; suture distinct; stem of medium thickness and length; skin thin; color clear 

 red becoming reddish-brown; flesh clear red, with abundant, colored juice, tender, slightly 

 stringy, sweet, sprightly, agreeable; quality good; ripens early.

 very similar to the Minnesota Ostheim but a few days later. Fruit of medium size, round, 

 occasionally cordate; stem of medium length, slender, set in a shallow cavity; skin firm, 

 deep red, with highly colored juice, mildly subacid ; quality very good.

This old variety is supposed to be of French origin. It is distinguished from other 

 sorts by its cordate form, its more or less distinct sutvu-e, its thick skin, and its heart- 

 shaped pit. Tree vigorous, moderately productive; fruit rather large, partially cordate, 

 marked by a suture on both sides, more pronounced towards the base; stem of medium 

 length, inserted in a rather deep cavity; skin thick, tough, separating from the pulp, deep 

 reddish, ahnost black; flesh rather firm, deep red, juicy, sprightly, vinous, with a pro- 

 nounced acidity; stone rather large, oval-pointed, turgid; ripens early in July.
