 Hildesheim Bigarreau. Prince. 



The Hildeslieim Bigarreau is a German variety, wliicli ripens 

 here in August, and according to Thompson, is the latest sweet 

 cherry known ; a quality that renders it peculiarly valuable. 



Fruit of medium size, heart-shaped. Skin yellow, mottled 

 and marbled with red. Flesh pale yellow, firm, with a sweet 

 and agreeable flavour. The tree is hardy, and will doubtless 

 prove a valuable variety in this country.
