196 THE FEUI'f MANUAL. 



Skin, jet black and shining. Stalk, dark green, remarkably short, 

 being not more than one inch and a quarter long, stout, and rather 

 ' deeply depressed. Flesh, quite black, firm, but not crackling, juicy, 

 richly flavoured, and delicious. 



This is a fine large cherry, and ten days earlier than the common 

 Bigarreau.

 Bouquet Kirsche. See Cluster. 



BOWYER'S EARLY HEART.— Fruit, of medium size, obtuse 

 heart-shaped. Skin, of a clear waxen yellow, marbled and tinged with 

 red. Stalk, two inches long. Flesh, white, tender, juicy, with a 

 sweet and particularly rich flavour. 



A delicious cherry of the first quality. Ripe the end of June. The 

 tree is hardy, a free grower, and a very abundant bearer, and succeeds 

 well as a standard. Whether as regards its fertiHty, or the excellence 

 of the fruit, this variety deserves to be universally cultivated. 



BRANT. — Large, roundish heart-shaped, and uneven. Skin, deep 

 dark red. Stalk, an inch and a half long, set in an angular cavity. 

 Flesh, dark purplish red, half tender, juicy, sweet, and richly flavoured. 

 Beginning of July.

BIJTTNER'S BLACK HEART {Biittner's Herzkirsche; Ouigne 

 Noire de Biittner). — Fruit, large, more so than the Black Heart, obtuse 

 heart-shaped, flattened on one side, and marked with a suture, which 

 extends over both sides of the fruit, but most deeply marked on that 

 which is flattened. Skin, glossy, deep black on one side, but purplish 

 black on the other. Stalk, an inch and a half long, set in a pretty 

 deep cavity. Flesh, half tender, juicy, dark red, and particularly, 

 pleasant-flavoured. 



This is an excellent cherry, and bears a close resemblance to the old 

 Black Heart, but is much superior, both in size and flavour, to that 

 variety. It ripens in the middle of July. 



The tree is a strong, vigorous, and upright grower, very hai-dy, and 

 an excellent bearer. It succeeds well ' as a standard, and might be 

 cultivated to more advantage as an orchard variety than the old Black 

 Heart.
