Schmidt's Bigarreau, 



Price— I year, 30 cts. each, $3.00 per dozen; 2 years, 50 cts. each. 



This noble Cherry was introduced into Enajlnnd by Mr. Rivers under the name of 

 Bigarreau Noir de Schmidt, who ha* not been able to trace its history beyond the Societe 

 Yan Mons, of Belgium, from which he received it. It is by far the largest of all the 

 Black Bigarreau Cherries. 



As will be seen from our engraving, the fruit is produced in clusters, and is of a large 

 size, round and somewhat oblate. The skin is of a deep black color, and there is a large 

 style mark on the apex. The stalk is stout, 2 inches long, and rather deeply inserted ; flesh 

 dark, tender, and very juicy, with a fine flavor. The stone is very small for the size of the 

 fruit.
