CHERRIES. 



Bauxiiart. 



This new cherry orig-inated on the farm of Louis Shepler, of 

 Belle Vernon, Fa., and is much grown by the Shepler Brothers, 

 who have a larg-e collection of cherries and other fruits, which are 

 g-rown in quantities for the market, and it is said this cherry com- 

 mands a higher price than any other variety. The fruit is larg-c, 

 handsome, firm flesh, and of excellent quality; the tree is healthy, 

 vigorous, and an abundant bearer. 



Fruit large, obtuse heart-shajx^d, a little compressed; suture 

 slight; cavity large, deep; stalk rather long, slender; skin whitish 

 yellow, shaded and mottled witli light and dark rich red; flesh firrn, 

 juicy, sweet, with a sprig-htly, rich flavor. Riperjg the last of June 

 and the first of July. 



BuRfiiiLEY Park. 



Origin Burghley Park, Stamford, England; a Duke cherry of 

 modei-ately vigorous growth; a shy bearei- at iirst, but abundantly 

 jiroductive in a few years. 



Fruit large, usually round, with an obscure suture, but occasion- 

 ally compressed or flattened; skin very thin, transparent, the color 

 deep rich red, with shades of maroon; the flesh is of a tawny color, 

 juicv^ melting, a little astringent at first, but very pleasant, refresh- 

 ing, subacid flavor when fully ripe. It belongs to the Red Duke 

 class, and, in general characteristics, nearest to Reine Hortense, 

 though it appears to combine the best qualities of both. — Gardeners'

Dyeiiouse. 



Origin unknown; was introduced by H. T. Harris, of Stamford, 

 Ky., and was found growing in an old Morello orchard, on the farm 

 of a Jlr. Dyehouse, in Lincoln County, over thirty years since; it is 

 still grown there from suckers, and is claimed to be hardy, moder- 

 ately vigorous, somewhat spreading, of the Morello type, but par- 

 takes both of the Morello and Duke in growth, wood, and fruit; a 

 very early and sure bearer; ripens a week before Early Richmond, is 

 about the same size, of better quality, and quite as ]:>roductive. 



Fruit medium, oblate or roundish ol)late, slightly depressed, 

 without suture; apex slightly depressed; skin bright red, dark red
