 Tha Cjjroin3 ChsiTy reproduces itself from seed, and 

 the trees attain the largest size. They grow in a wild state, 

 and are also cultivated in several parts of England, particu- 

 larly in some parts of Hertfordshire ; and at Framingham 

 and Brooke, in Norfolk, whence they are sent in large quan- 

 tities to the neighbouring markets.

 Mag. t. 138. 



Fruit usually growing singly, very blunt, heart-shaped, 

 nearly round, a little flattened on one side, with a very small 

 suture extending from the stalk to the apex. Stalk about 

 two inches long, slender, deeply inserted. Skin pale yel- 

 lowish, sprinkled with numerous red spots, with larger, 

 patches of dull red or morone on the sunny side. Flesh 

 pale amber, transparent, tender, without any stain of red, ad- 

 hering slightly to the stone. Juice very sweet and high fla- 

 voured. 



Ripe the middle and end of July. 



Raised by Mr. Knight from a seed either of the Waterloo 

 or Elton, but from which is not certain. Its fruit was first 

 exhibited at the Horticultural Society July 16, 1822. It 

 bears well as a standard, and in richness of juice it is equal 

 to any cherry cultivated.
