KINDS OF FRUITS. 169 



May-Duke, but with less flavour, except in the full 

 sun, and not so good a bearer. 



4. White Heart. Much the same as the preced- 

 ing, pale coloured, and a more shy bearer. Both 

 these hearts require a wall in Scotland, in order to 

 have them in perfection. 



5. Harrison's Heart. This is a very good, large 

 cherry, and by many is esteemed equal to any of 

 the hearts. It is a better bearer in general than the 

 white heart. 



6. Morella. This is an excellent fruit, and next to 

 the May-Duke, is the best cherry we have. When 

 ripened on a wall, in the full sun, it acquires a size 

 and richness of flavour, superior to any other. This 

 is a fact not generally known. Being a free grow- 

 er, and good bearer, in any situation, the worst is 

 generally allotted to it. 



7. Holman's Duke. Just the May-Duke, said to 

 be improved. I have sometimes known it grow to 

 a very large size, and almost black, when in the 

 full sun ; but have just seen the same thing hap- 

 pen with the May-Duke in good soil, and in a good 

 season. 



8. Kentish Fit only for tarts ; a great bearer, 

 and planted very frequently in orchards. It is 

 sometimes called the Red Morella.
