DEOGAN'S YELLOW BIGAEREAU {Bigarreau Jaune.de Dro- 

 gan ; Drogan's Oelbe Knorpelkirsche). — Fruit, large and round, more

 which becomes of a dark red as it attains maturity. The common 

 peduncle is about half an inch long, and the stalk an inch and a half. 

 The fruit generally grows singly and rarely in pairs. Flesh, yellowish, 

 very tender and juicy, with a brisk and agreeable acidulous flavour. 

 Juice, pale red. Stone, roundish oval and thick. 



A very fine cherry of the May Duke class. 



It ripens in the end of July, about a fortnight after the May Duke. 

 The tree is exactly similar to the May Duke in the growth and in the
