THE CHERRY. 265 



OHIO BEAUTY. Elliott. 



Tree a vigorous grower, with a rather spreading head, and 

 has proved so far a productive, valuable kind. Fruit large, ob- 

 tuse heart-shaped. Light ground, mostly covered with red. 

 Flesh tender, brisk, juicy. Ripe about the middle of June. 



OSCEOLA. Elliott. 



Originated with Prof. Kirtland. Moderate bearer and medium 

 growth. Fruit above medium, heart-shaped. Colour fine dark 

 red, approaching to black. Flesh juicy, tender, sweet and ex- 

 cellent. Ripe last of June. 



PIERCE'S LATE. 



Originated with Amos Pierce, and introduced to notice by 

 James Hyde and Son, Newton Centre, Mass., who say it is a 

 fine late fruit. We give the description from the W. E. Farmer. 

 Fruit medium, obtuse heart-shaped, dark red and mottled, light 

 amber in the shade. Stalk rather short and slim. Flesh soft, 

 tender, very juicy, sweet, rich and delicious ; stone small. Ripe 

 the last of July. 



Growth free, rather upright, with a round head. 



PONTIAC. 



Fruit large, obtuse heart-shaped, sides compressed, coloui 

 dark purplish red, approaching to black when fully ripe. Flesh 

 half tender, juicy, sweet and agreeable. Season last of June. 

 Originated with Prof. Kirtland. (Elliott.) 



POWHATTAN. 



Fruit medium size, uniform, roundish, flattened or compressed 

 on sides ; surface irregular. Colour liver-like, highly polished. 

 Suture half round. Flesh rich, purplish red, marbled, half ten- 

 der, juicy, sweet, pleasant but not high flavour. Season late, 

 8th to 15th of July. 



For profitable market purposes, this is one of the very best, 

 the fruit ripening late, and all being uniform and regular in size. 

 Originated with Prof. Kirtland. (Elliott.)
