TARTARIAN. (BtacL Tartari,!,,.) 



Of black clierries this is one of the choice.st, whether for market or for dessert on the home 

 table. Of large size and delicious flavor, it is relished by all cherry lovers, and, being some- 

 what soft fleshed, it is very subject to the ravages of birds ; it is also subject to rot in wet 

 seasons. On this account it is often necessary to harvest and ship it a little on the green side. 

 It is not so productive as some others, but it makes up for this by bringing a higher price.
