120 FRUIT GARDEN. 



Belle de Choisy, an excellent cherry. The fruit comes 

 in pairs, red, mottled with amber color, tender and sweet. 

 The tree bears well as a standard. 



Black Tartarian, or Ronald's Black Heart, L. Hort. 

 Cat., 198 ; Lind., p. 149. Fruit large, obtuse heart, 

 shaped ; flesh half tender. " The quality is good, and in 

 appearance is one of the finest." The tree is a good bearer, 

 and well adapted for forcing. 



Waterloo. — Raised by a daughter of Mr. Knight from 

 the Bigarreau and May Duke. Fruit black, large, obtuse 

 heart-shaped, pulp tender. It ripens in July, and the tree 

 is a free bearer. 



Elton. — Raised by Mr. Knight from the Bigarreau and 

 White Heart. Fruit large, heart-shaped, pale red, with a 

 sweet, delicious juice. The tree is a good bearer and 

 hardy ; the fruit ripens shortly after the May Duke. 



Kentish Cherry. — One of the oldest and most prevalent 

 cherries of England, abounding in the orchards of Kent. 

 When ripe it is of a full red color, and its subacid flavor is 

 very agreeable. It is commonly grown on standards, and 

 ripens in the end of July, The Hort. Cat. distinguishes 

 this from the Flemish or short-stalked, also a good cherry, 

 to which it is certainly closely allied. 



The Morello. — This is a well-known late cherry, much in 

 request for confectionery. The tree is a copious bearer, 

 and on a south wall the fruit acquires a peculiarly rich 

 subacid flavor. It succeeds perfectly well on a north 

 aspect, where its fruit may be retarded to the end of 

 October. 



The Amber, or yellow Spanish, is a late fruit, and useful 

 in prolonging the cherry season till the beginning of Sep- 

 tember. It requires a west wall. 



Among other excellent varieties may be mentioned the
