" The trees of both varieties (which 

 " are only eight years old) are at present 

 " trained to walls, the Elton on a north- 

 " west and the other on an east-north- 

 " east aspect ; but I am perfectly confi- 

 " dent that both will succeed thoroughly 

 " well as standards, and that the black 

 *' one so cultivated will prove excessively 

 " productive of fruit. 



" The Elton cherry-tree has borne well 

 " but it has never loaded itself so heavily 

 " as the other. The Elton ripens about 

 " ten days before the Ambree, and the 

 *' Black soon after the Mayduke. The 

 " growth of both trees is (extremely 

 " luxuriant." * 



The Waterloo Cherry. This is also a 

 fine variety, raised by the same gentle- 

 man, and is much praised for its pro- 

 ductiveness and sweet flavor. 



This fiuit was produced by that gen- 

 tleman to the fiuit committee of the 

 Hort. Soc. and they found its merits so 

 superior, that it was generally thought the 

 best cherry known. 



* Mr. Knight, in communication to the Hort. Soc.
