250 CHERRIZX. 



11. TRADESCANT. 



This is what is sometimes called the Harrison 

 heart, more frequently the Ox heart, and by many the 

 Amber cherry : it is a most beautiful fruit, of a large 

 size, somewhat pointed or heart shaped the skin is a 

 smooth yellow with a bright red cheek, a little varie- 

 gated ; the flesh firmer than that of any other cherry, 

 and clear at the stone, resembling when bitten, a firm 

 plum the flavour exquisite : this is probably our most 

 admired cherry it is however a very tender tree, and 

 rather an indifferent bearer ; very liable to be affected 

 by the frost and sun, on the south-west side : it ripens 

 late in June, and early in July. 



12. LARGE BLACK-HEART. 



When fully ripe, this is a very fine, large, rich, cher- 

 ry : it is frequently eaten before it is fully ripe ; even 

 then it is a good fruit, from its great sweetness it ri- 

 pens early in July : the tree is of uncommonly vigor- 

 ous growth, and a. great bearer.
