304 THE FEUIT MANUAL. 



LADY SOUTHAMPTON'S. This is a medium sized, yellow, heart- 

 shaped cherry, of the Bigarreau class, with firm, but not juicy, flesh. 

 It is now very little cultivated, and is but a worthless variety. 



Ripe in the end of July and beginning of August. 



Large Black Bigarreau. See Tradescant's Heart. 

 Large May Duke. See May Duke. 

 Large Wild Black. See Cor one. 



LATE BIGARREAU. Fruit, large, obtuse heart-shaped, and 

 uneven in its outline, broadly and deeply indented at the apex. Skin, 

 of a fine rich yellow, with a bright red cheek, which sometimes extends 

 over the whole surface. Stalk, an inch and a half long. Flesh, 

 yellowish, considerably firm, sweet, and agreeably flavoured. 



A large and handsome late Bigarreau ; ripe in the middle of 

 August. The tree is very productive. 



LATE DUKE (Anglaise Tardive}. Fruit, large, obtusely heart- 

 shaped, and somewhat compressed. Skin, shining, of a fine bright red, 

 which becomes darker as it ripens. Stalk, an inch and a half to two 

 inches long. Flesh, pale yellow, tender, juicy, and richly flavoured. 



Ripe in the middle and end of August. 



Late Morello. See Morello. 



Late Mottled Bigarreau. See Bigarreau Napoleon. 



LATE PURPLE GEAN. This is a fine late Black Gean, ripening 

 in the latter end of July. 



Lauermann's Herzkirsche. See Bigarreau Napoleon. 

 Lauermann's Kirsche. See Bigarreau Napoleon. 



LEMERCIER. See Heine Hortense. There is a Lemercier grown 

 by Mr. Rivers which is later than Reine Hortense, and, before it is 

 quite ripe, considerably more acid than that variety. The tree has 

 also a more rigid and upright growth, like the Dukes ; but it is 

 evidently a seminal variety of Reine Hortense, and, being a better 

 bearer, is perhaps the preferable kind to grow of that admirable 

 cherry. 



Lion's Heart. See Ox Heart. 



LOGAN. Fruit, above medium size, obtuse heart-shaped. Skin, 

 deep blackish purple. Stalk, an inch and a half long. Flesh, brownish 

 red, almost firm, juicy, sweet, and richly flavoured. 



Ripe in the middle and end of July. The tree blooms late.
