198 THE FEVIT MANUAL. 



Btout, and inserted in a shallow depression. Flesh, white, yellowish, 

 tender, juicy, with a sweet and richly flavoured juice. The stone is 

 of medium size, almost round, and separates freely from the flesh. 



This is a most excellent and richly flavoured cherry. It is ripe in 

 the end of July. The tree is hardy and healthy, and moderately 

 vigorous, but not a good bearer. This may account for a variety of 

 such excellence being so Uttle cultivated. This is an old complaint 

 against it, for Switzer says: "It is no extraordinary bearer. How- 

 ever, one or two ought to be planted for its charming variety." 



This is one of the oldest cherries now found in our collections. It is first 

 mentioned by Rea in 1665, and is subsequently enumerated in Meager's List. 

 With all our pomological authors it has been a commendable variety, but it is not 

 noticed by Miller.

 shining, of a clear waxen pale yellow on the shaded side, but where 

 exposed to the sun of a bright red, mottled with dark red and orange.

 yellow, firm, sweet, and richly flavoured, but not very juicy. 



An excellent cherry, but now little cultivated. It ripens in the 

 middle and end of July. The tree is hardy, and a good bearer, 

 succeeds well as a standard, and in the estimation of Rogers is well 

 adapted for orchard planting.
