THE CHERRY. 



in Europe, and chiefly valued for ripening long after all others 

 have disappeared. We have received trees, but they have not 

 yet borne fruit. It is described as a dark red fruit of medium 

 size, round, flesh juicy and tender, and quite acid, being only 

 fit for culinary uses. Ripens in September and hangs on the 

 tree till October.

A very handsome, light red, large cherry, 



highly esteemed here for brandying and pre- 

 serving. 



Fruit large, round. Skin at first yellowish 



white, mottled with red, but becoming a lively 



red slightly marbled. Stalk about an inch 



and a half long, stout. Flesh tender, a little 



more firm than most of this division, but 



juicy, and when fully ripe, of a sprightly and 



good sub-acid flavour. The foliage is pretty 



large, and the wood strong, but the tree has a 



spreading, rather low habit. It is a moderate 



but regular bearer, and the fruit hangs 



long while on the branches, without decay ing. 1 

 Ripe the middle and 

 last of July.

 very large variety of this cherry, raised 

 from a seed of it, by Mr. Prince, of Long 

 Island. Its shy habit of bearing renders 

 it of little value.
