I » 206. 1676. 



Although there seems to be a discrepancy in the size of the cherry mentioned by 

 Parkinson and Rea and the one described by Hogg, all three writers undoubtedly referred 

 to the same sort. While the first two references describe the variety as exceptionally 

 large no definite statements are made, thus giving strength to the following description 

 made by Hogg many years later. Tree productive; fruit rather below medium in size, 

 obtuse-cordate; skin amber, mottled with red on the sunny side; flesh white, half -tender, 

 mildly sweet; quality fair; stone large, ovate; ripens in July.

 Am. 262. 1857. 



This variety originated with T. & G. Hyde, Newton, Massachusetts. Tree strong 

 in growth, productive; fruit medium in size, obtuse-cordate, purplish-black; flesh half- 

 firm, melting, juicy; resembles Eagle but is later.
