 exposed to the sun. Flesh, half- tender, whitish, tolerably sweet and 

 tender. Stone, large and ovate.

JEFFREYS' DUKE (Cherry Duke of Duhamel ; Jeffreys' Royal; 

 Jeffreys 1 Royal Caroon; Roy ale ; Koniqliclie Weichselbaum der Chery 

 Duke ; Konigliche Sussweichsel). Fruit, about medium size, smaller 

 than the May Duke, round, and flattened at both ends. Skin, of a fine 

 deep red, which changes to very dark red the longer it hangs. Stalk, 

 about an inch and a half long, inserted in a shallow cavity. Flesh, 

 pale red, tender, very juicy, sweet, and richly flavoured. 



An excellent cherry of first-rate quality. It is in season at the same 

 time as the May Duke, but instead of being acid it is quite sweet 

 before attaining its dark colour. Ripe the beginning and middle of July. 



The tree is peculiar in its growth, being of a very compact and 

 upright habit, and never makes much wood in a season ; the shoots 

 are very short, and thickly set with bloom buds. It succeeds well 

 either as a standard or against a wall, and is an abundant bearer. 



It is said by Mr. Lindley that this variety was introduced by Jeffreys, of the 

 Brompton Park Nursery, who died in 1785. The first notice I find of it, in the 

 catalogues of that nursery, is in 1785, from which time it is called Royal and New 

 Royal, except in one instance in 1790, when it is entered as Jeffreys' Seedling. 

 In Miller & Sweet's catalogue for 1790 it is called Jeffreys' fine new seedling.

 shaped, compressed on the sides, and deeply indented at the apex. 

 Skin, shining, of a deep brownish black colour. Stalk, two inches 

 long. Flesh, dark brownish red, tender, juicy, rich, and sweet. 



Ripe in the middle of July.
