glossy, dark liver colour, almost black. Flesh tender, juicy, 

 with a rich, sweet flavour. Season, near the last of June. Raised 

 by Prof. Kirtland. (Elliott.) 



Keokuk. 



Fruit large, heart-shaped, dark purplish black, flesh half ten- 

 der, rather coarse, and deficient "in flavour. Its chief merit, a 

 market variety. (Ripe early in July.) Strong, vigorous grower, 

 forming a large tree. (Elliott.) 



Kennicott. 



Raised by Prof. Kirtland. Tree vigorous, hardy, spreading, 

 very productive. Fruit large, oval heart-shape, compressed ; 

 suture shallow, half round, colour amber yellow, mottled and 

 much overspread with rich, bright, clear, glossy red. Flesh firm, 

 juicy, rich, and sweet. Season, 8th to 1 0th July. Size and beauty, 

 and late ripening, will make it valuable where known. (Elliott.) 



Kirtland's Mammoth, 



Fruit of the largest size, obtuse heart-shaped. Colour, bright 

 clear yellow, partially overspread and marbled with rich red. 

 Flesh almost tender, juicy, sweet, with a very fine high flavour. 

 Season, last of June. Tree vigorous, moderately productive.

Kirtland's Mart. Elliott. 



Raised by Prof. Kirtland. Tree, a strong, upright grower 

 said to be one of the best of his seedlings, 

 and desirable either for the dessert or mar- 

 ket purposes. Not having fruited suffi- 

 ciently with us, we give Mr. Elliott's de- 

 scription. 



Fruit large, roundish, heart shape, very 

 regular. Colour light, and dark rich red, 

 deeply marbled and mottled on a yellow 

 ground; grown fully in the sun, is mostly 

 a rich, dark glossy red. Flesh light yellow, 

 quite firm, rich, juicy, sweet, and very high 

 flavoured. Season, last of June, and first 

 of July.

A most admirable early cherry, resem- V 

 bling the Black Tartarian, though much -
