AMERICAN AMBER (Bloodgood's Amber; Bloodgood's Honey; 

 Bloodgood's New Honey). Fruit, medium-sized, produced in clusters 

 of three and four together, roundish, inclining to cordate, and indented 

 at the apex. Skin, very thin, smooth, and shining, of a clear pale 

 yellow at first, but afterwards mottled and clouded with bright red. 

 Stalk, an inch and a half to nearly two inches long, inserted in a 

 narrow and shallow depression. Flesh, amber-coloured, tender, and 

 very juicy, with a brisk but not a rich flavour. 



An American cherry of only second-rate quality ; ripe the middle 

 of July. 



The tree is an abundant bearer ; a very strong and vigorous grower. 



It was raised by Mr. Daniel Bloodgood, of Flushing, Long Island, U.S.A., and 

 I received it first from Mr. Warren, of Boston, in 1847. 



AMERICAN DOCTOR (The Doctor). Fruit, medium-sized, obtuse 

 heart-shaped, marked on one side with a shallow suture. Skin, clear 

 yellow, washed with red. Stalk, an inch and a half long. Flesh,

 June.

 little amber. Stalk, slender, nearly two inches long, inserted in a 

 narrow and shallow cavity. Flesh, half tender, crackling, juicy, and 

 well-flavoured. 



An American cherry of second-rate quality, requiring a very favour-
