CHERRIES. 808 



KENNICOTT. Fruit, large, roundish heart-shaped, and compressed 

 on the sides. Skin, of a fine amber yellow, considerably mottled with 

 deep glossy red. Flesh, yellowish white, firm, juicy, rich, and sweet. 



Ripe in the beginning and middle of August. 



KENTISH (Common Red ; Early Richmond ; Pie Cherry ; Sussex ; 

 Virginian May). Fruit, medium sized, round, and inclining to oblate 

 in shape, marked on one side with a very faint suture, which in some 

 specimens is not distinguishable, pitted at the apex, in which is a small 

 style-point. Skin, at first pale flesh-coloured, but changing to clear 

 deep red, and when allowed to hang it assumes a very dark and almost 

 black colour. Stalk, varying from an inch to an inch and a half long, 

 pretty stout, and inserted in a considerable depression. Flesh, yel- 

 lowish, tender, juicy, and briskly flavoured. Stone, medium-sized, 

 ovate, and flattened, adhering firmly to the stalk, so much so that it 

 may be drawn out, leaving the fruit entire. 



This is larger than the Flemish, and a superior variety. It is the 

 best cooking cherry, and is ripe in the middle and end of July.

KNIGHT'S EARLY BLACK. Fruit, large, obtuse heart-shaped, 

 irregular and uneven on its surface. Skin, dark dull red, becoming 

 almost black when fully ripe. Stalk, two inches long, inserted in a 

 deep and rather wide cavity. Flesh, dark purple, tender, juicy, and 

 sweet, richly and highly flavoured. Stone, small and roundish. 



A delicious early cherry, ripe on standards in the end of June and 

 beginning of July, about a week or ten days earlier than the May 

 Duke. The tree is a free grower, strong, and vigorous, and a very 

 abundant bearer. It succeeds well as a standard, but is well deserving 

 of a wall, when the fruit will be much improved and produce much 

 earlier than on standards. 



This valuable cherry was raised by T. A. Knight, Esq., about the year 1810, 

 from the seed of the Bigarreau impregnated with the pollen of the May Duke.
