ViRUiNiAN Wild Cherry. 



This native cherry is valuable as a beautiful Ehade tree and its fruit for fla- 

 vorins liquor?, but is not worthy a place in garden or orchard. It is too well 

 known to need description, being the Cerasus Serotina of Torrey and Grey, 

 while the Choke Cherry, as it is commonly known, is the Cerasus Virgiviana.
