flavor. It is sometimes called the Honey cherry. A fine, 

 profitable cherry, from its excellent qualities and very ex- 

 traordinary productiveness, to cultivate for the market. Jt 

 ripens late, and is one of the best of all cherries. 



25. WATERLOO. Hort. Trans. 



A large, round, dark red fruit, inclining to black at ma- 

 turity ; the flesh is firm, and of excellent flavor. Raised 

 by a daughter of Mr. Knight, and so named from its per- 

 fecting its first fruit soon after the battle of Waterloo. The 

 tree is of strong, but irregular growth. This fruit was sent 

 by Mr. Knight, in 1823, to the Hon. John Lowell. 



26. *WHITE TARTAREAN. 



TRANSPARENT, WHITE TRANSPARENT CRIMEA. 

 Rather large, beautiful, and obtuse heart-shaped ; pale 

 yellow, approaching to an amber color next the sun ; flesh 

 half breaking, and of excellent flavor. A much admired 

 fruit, which ripens early in July. The tree grows upright 

 and handsome, and bears well ; the leaves are large, smooth. 

 One of the best fruits of the class of white cherries. 



CLASS II. 



DUKE CHERRIES, MORELLOS, &c. 



27. *ARCHDUKE. 



LATE DUKE. Thompson. 



GRIOTTE DE PORTUGAL. Duh. PORTUGAL DUKE. 

 A large, globular-formed, red cherry; like the May Duke, 

 it grows in clusters; but the tree grows more vigorous 

 than that variety. An excellent cherry, and a great bearer. 

 It ripens in July, and hangs a long time on the tree, im- 

 proving in flavor ; and is, on all accounts, a valuable fruit. 



28. BELLE DE CHOISY. Pom. Mag. Bon Jard. 

 DOUCETTE, CERISE DE PALEMBRE. 



A middle-sized, roundish fruit, growing in pairs on a 

 forked stalk ; skin transparent, red, mottled with amber ; 

 the flesh amber-colored, tender, and sweet ; ripe rather be- 

 fore the May Duke. It bears well as a standard.
