6. JUNE DUKE. 



In the neighbourhood of Philadelphia, called the 

 Shippen cherry and well known as the Wetherill 

 cherry is the most valuable cherry of the season : it 

 comes to perfection when the common black, or mazard 

 affords food for the birds : it is an abundant bearer 

 with very rich juice of a large size ; and very free 

 from rotting. The tree is of vigorous growth : it is 

 remarkable for the uniform swelling of the stem and 

 larger limbs at the knots : it ripens late in June, and 

 tangs for a long time on the tree in a sound state. 



y. HAZARD, OR COMMON BLACK. 



The fruit most universally planted through the coun- 

 try, used for stocks on which to inoculate or ingraft 

 every kind of heart cherry : ripens late in June ; much 

 used for bounce with rum or brandy.
