FLEMISH. Pomologists have fallen into great mistakes 

 with regard to this cherry, particularly those who make 

 it synonymous with Gros Gobet ; others think it the 

 same as the Kentish. The latter is nearer the truth ; but

 fruit of the two could not be distinguished the one from 

 the other ; but the trees of the Flemish are less drooping 

 than those of the Kentish, and the fruit is smaller, and 

 about eight or ten days later. Anyone who examines 

 the two varieties as they are grown in the Kentish 

 orchards will see at once that the varieties are different.
