branches of the common Morello, and causes large excres- 

 cences to be formed, which, if left to increase annually, and 

 not lopped oft* in time, destroy the tree altogether. 



60- Nafioleon Digarreau. The growth of this tree is the 

 strongest I recollect to have seen, excepting the Tobacco 

 Leaved Cherry. Its general appearance is indicative of a 

 superior fruit ; and although I have not yet myself seen its 

 produce, still it may reasonably be supposed that this tree, 

 \vhich originated in France, would not have received the 

 name of the greatest favourite of the nation, without its pos- 

 sessing superior* merit. It was introduced to this country 

 but three years since by myself. 



20, Griotte d'dltemagne. Fruit of a red colour and very 

 juicy, of a good size and much esteemed ; ripe in July. 



65. Select Beauty. ^ruit very large, with long petioles; 

 of a fine red colour and excellent flavour i the tree is not 

 very productive; ripe in July. 



36. Cluster. This is a great curiosity, for on a single 

 stem or petiole, which of other kinds supports but one cherry, 

 this has a number united, thus forming a cluster of cherries 

 on one stem ; the fruit is delicate, but acid; the tree produces 

 Well, and the fruit ripens in June. 



64, Pigeon's Heart. Fruit of fair size, the skin shining 

 and marbled ; ripens in July. 



12. China Heart. Tuis cherry I raised from the seeds of 

 the Ox Heart, and it is different from any other that has met 

 my view. It is but of moderate size, but beautifully m >ttled, 

 more like a waxen fruit or some representations on China 

 ware ; the flesh between the solid and the melting, quite 

 sweet, and with a flavour peculiar to itself, differing from all 

 others; it is an exceedingly productive tree, and the lower 

 branches, as it advances in size, assume in many cases a pen- 

 dant form; it ripens just after the Black Tartarian and many 

 others are past, and forms a link between them and the later 

 varieties. 



39. Remington White Heart. This is the latest cherry 

 which has originated in this country, and indeed, with few ex- 

 ceptions, later than any known in Europe, A bunch of the 

 fruit was sent to me from Ruode-Isian J, about the 10th of 

 September, which was just then ripe, but at Long-Island it 

 ripens in August ; the fruit is of pleasant flavour, but nothing 

 superior; the tree is very productive; but the late period of 

 ripening its fruit forms its greatest merit.
