LADY SOUTHAMPTON'S. This is a medium sized, yellow, 

 heart-shaped cherry, of the Bigarreau class, with firm, 

 but not juicy, flesh. It is now very little cultivated, and 

 is but a worthless variety. End of July and beginning 

 of August. 



Large Black Bigarreau. See Tradescanfs Heart. 



LATE BIGAREEAU. Large, obtuse heart-shaped, and 

 uneven in its outline, broadly and deeply indented at the 

 apex. Skin of a fine rich yellow, with a bright red cheek,

 firm, sweet, and agreeably flavoured. Middle of August. 

 Tree very productive. 



LATE DUKE (Anglaise Tardive). Large, obtusely heart-

 one inch and a half to two inches long. Flesh pale yellow, 

 tender, juicy, and richly flavoured. Beginning and

 perhaps, the preferable kind to grow of that admirable 

 cherry.
