Remarks. — Professor Kirtlands raising. One of the 

 hardiest of his fine seedling cherries, as was fully proven 

 in the memorable severe cold of last Winter (1S56). A

 that great and unusual trial. But it is not very likely 

 we shall soon have another such a winter. The wood was 

 also not matured enough to meet it. Tree strong, vigor- 

 ous, upright habit. Valuable for private market gardens.
