PRUNES. 



California D'Agen.- -Described, page 60. 



Golden. Originated in Oregon, and described, by Seth 

 Llwelling, its introducer, as follows : Larger than 

 Italian ; light golden colour. Exquisite flavour ; dries 

 beautifully, and when dried, 24 prunes weigh one 

 pound. A beautiful grower, with heavy dark-green 

 foliage. An abundant bearer, and one of the best 

 canning fruits known. Easily peeled, and separates 

 readily from the stone, which is quite small for the size 

 of the fruit. Uncertain along the coast. 



Robe de Sergent. Fruit oval. Skin deep purple, nearly 

 black. Tree a good grower, but not a very heavy 

 bearer. Fruit a bit larger than D'Ageu. 



CHERRIES. 



Black Tartarian. Fruit of the largest size, and bright 

 purplish black, juicy and sweet. Tree a very vigorous 

 grower and prolific bearer. The standard black cherry 

 of California. Ships very well. None of these cherries 

 so far as we know have been tasted commercially here. 



Early Rivers. An excellent early black cherry, nearly an 

 inch in diameter : stem very small. An excellent bearer. 

 Well worthy of a trial. 



Kentish. Fruit medium size, round, red, changing to purple 

 if allowed to hang. The best cooking cherry. A free 

 grower and abundant bearer. 



May Duke. An old and standard variety. A dark red colour. 

 Flesh juicy, rich and sweet. Early. 



Napoleon Biggareau. A splendid cherry of the largest size. 

 Pale yellow, amber in the shade, beautifully marked 

 with red, and a bright red cheek. Flesh firm, juicy r 

 sweet. A free grower and abundant bearer. A splendid 

 fruit for canning, and ships well.
