MOKELLO CHERRIES. 



195 



flower varies from the normal state, by having several pistils 

 or styles, several of which, frequently five or six, become perfect 

 fruits forming a bouquet or cluster. The fruit is too acid to be 

 of any value except for preserving. 



Fruit of small size, borne in clusters of from two to six ; 

 round, of a lively red. Ripens the last of June. The tree is 

 small in all its parts.

One of the smallest, as well as the earliest of cherries. The 

 tree very small and dwarfish, scarcely growing more than eight 

 feet high. It is not worth cultivation now that we have the 

 Early Purple Guigne, Baumann's May, and the like. 



Fruit small, round, slightly flattened. Stalk an inch long, 

 rather slender, pretty deeply set. Skin pale red, or, at matu- 

 rity, a rather lively light red. Flesh soft, juicy, and quite acid.

This is a very odd looking 

 fruit, being much flattened, and 

 having a very short stalk. The 

 only bearing tree we have seen, 

 in this country, is one in the 

 garden of Madame Parmentier, 

 Brooklyn, N. Y. The Flemish 

 is not a good bearer, and has not, 

 therefore, ever become a popular 

 fruit even in France or Flanders, 



Dutch.
