CHERRIES 



13. CARNATION. 



Is one of our most excellent cherries ; the form is- 

 round the size large ; the skin a beautiful variegated 

 red and yellow ; the flesh yellow and rich ; the juice 

 very sprightly, and light coloured. It is when fully 

 ripe, an admired dessert fruit, and is preferred to al- 

 most every other cherry for preserves : it ripens late, 

 and is remarkably free from attack by birds and insects 

 from the thinness and delicacy of its juice : it is in sea- 

 son in July, and lasts free from rot longer than any 

 other fine cherry. 



14. HONEY CHERRY. 



When growing on vigorous trees this is a middle 

 sized fruit ; otherwise it is small the form a little 

 pointed ; the flesh very rich, and sweet, and sprightly 

 enough to be finely flavoured the skin is a deep red ; 

 the tree hardy, and an abundant bearer : it is much 

 admired at a season when there are many fine cher- 

 ries : ripening with the Carnation and Amber, late 

 in June.
