BUTTNER'S BLACK HEART (Biittner's Herzkirsche; Guigne 

 Noire de Buttner). Fruit, large, more so than the Black Heart, obtuse 

 heart-shaped, flattened on one side, and marked with a suture, which 

 extends over both sides of the fruit, but most deeply marked on that 

 which is flattened. Skin, glossy, deep black on one side, but purplish 

 black on the other. Stalk, an inch and a half long, set in a pretty 

 deep cavity. Flesh, half tender, juicy, dark red, and very pleasantly 

 flavoured. 



This is an excellent cherry, and bears a close resemblance to the old 

 Black Heart, but is much superior, both in size and flavour, to that 

 variety. It ripens in the middle of July. 



The tree is a strong, vigorous, and upright grower, very hardy, and 

 an excellent bearer. It succeeds well as a standard, and might be 

 cultivated to more advantage as an orchard variety than the old Black 

 Heart.

BUTTNER'S OCTOBER (Bilttners Spate Weichsel ; Buttner 's Sep- 

 tember and Octoberweichsel ; Buttner' s October Sukenceichsel ; Buttner' s 

 October Morello). Fruit, large, round and flattened, somewhat oblate, 

 with no suture, and indented at the apex, in which is the small 

 russety dot. Skin, thin, separating freely from the flesh, and of a 

 reddish brown colour. Stalk, slender, two inches long, set in a shallow 

 depression. Flesh, light red, reticulated with whitish veins, juicy, 

 and with a pleasant sub-acid flavour. 



This is a very excellent acid cherry, and useful for all culinary pur- 

 poses. It ripens in October, and is the latest of all cherries. The 

 tree is a good bearer, and succeeds well as a standard. It was raised 

 by Buttner, of Halle.
