THE CHEERY. 



WATERLOO. 



We have never been able to obtain this variety to meet the descrip. 

 tion given by Downing in his Fruits and Fruit Trees. At the last Porno- 

 logical Congress, Hon. M. P. Wilder stated it to be synonymous with 

 Monstreuse de Mezel. This, we conclude, must be error, either in the 

 variety grown by Mr. Wilder, or in the description given by Mr. Down- 

 ing. We copy the latter's description : " Fruit, large,obtuse heart shape ; 

 dark purplish, becoming black at maturity j stalk, long and slender ; flesh, 

 purplish red, juicy, tender, when fully ripe, with a rich, sweet flavor. Be- 

 gining of July."

This is the wild species of Europe, from which many of our sweet cherries have sprung. It 

 Is now found in nearly every village, or cultivated region of the States, and is valuable mainly 

 for its seed, for growing stocks on which to bud. There are numerous varieties, as all are 

 grown from seed ; some are red, some black, and some nearly white all more or less bitter,
