DESCRIPTIVE LISTS* 163 



the heart kind ; a good bearer, and a handsome 

 thrifty growing tree. It is rather tender, and is 

 sometimes winter killed in exposed situations* 



" Fruit six lines in length, a heart shape ; at ma- 

 turity black and shining ; the flesh black violet and 

 marbled, fine and breaking. "Kenrick. 



4. Black Heart. 



A superior variety of the heart, and an excel- 

 lent bearer. It is too well known to require any 

 further notice, than to recommend it to a place in 

 every collection of fruit. 



5. Jlrchduke. 



"A large, globular formed, red cherry ; like the 

 May Duke it grows in clusters ; but the tree grows 

 more vigorous than that variety. An excellent 

 cherry ; and a great bearer, ripening in July." 

 Kenrick. 



DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF PEACHES. 



In the description of the following list of peaches, 

 I am indebted to Mr Kenrick's " Orchardist," and 

 I hope the selection will answer every purpose of 

 the fruit grower. 



1. Early Anne. 



"The trees of this variety are of feeble growth > 

 the young wood is subject to mildew. Fruit small? 

 white, globular ; the flesh white, melting, saccharine? 

 and good. The chief merit is its ripening early."
