38 SHORTHORN HERDS OF ENGLAND. 



daughter of Beauty, has a lot of shorthorn character. Cherry Leaf, 

 a pretty attractive red and white heifer, one of the best of a dozen 

 seen together, is by Mr. Sheldon's Duke of Cerisia 4th, a son of Duke 

 of Rothesay, and Cherry Duchess 22nd, thus uniting the descendants 

 of Cherry Brandy's daughters, Grainford Cherry, and Ripe Cherry. 

 Perfume, by Lord Roseberry, is a stylish cow with nice feminine 

 head and horn, being the second generation from Faultless.

 the stocks of Messrs. Wright and Charge, so they originate from the
