CHERRIES. 807 



This is the best of all the cherries for culinary purposes, either for 

 preserving or to be used in confectionery ; it ripens in July and 

 August, and will continue on the tree as late as September. 



The tree is of a spreading habit of growth, with pendulous shoots ; 

 it is very hardy, and an abundant bearer. It succeeds well as a 

 standard, but is generally grown against a wall exposed to the north, 

 where it produces its fruit of greater size and much later, and attains 

 greater perfection than any other kind of fruit would do in a similar 

 situation. 



This is a very old variety, being mentioned by Parkinson in 1629, and it appears 

 to me that "The great bearing cherry of Master Millen " of the same author is the 

 same as the Morello, and hence Switzer calls it the " Milan " : " is a reasonable great 

 red cherry bearing plentifully although it bee planted against a north wall, yet it 

 will bee late ripe, but of an inditferent, sweet, and good relish."

NAPOLEON NOIR is a medium sized very early Black Heart,

 cherry.

NODVELLE RO YALE. Fruit, large, much more so than the May 

 Duke, but similar to it in shape, and somewhat uneven in its outline. 

 Skin, red at first, but becoming quite black the longer it hangs. Stalk, 

 an inch and a quarter to an inch and a half long. Flesh, tender, juicy, 

 and with the flavour of the May Duke. 



This is a late Duke cherry, well worthy of a place in every collection ; 

 it ripens in the end of July, and the tree has a fine compact pyramidal 



habit.
