DUKE AND MORELLO CHERRIES. 



These two classes of cherries are very distinct from the pi-eceding. The trees are of smaller size, and grow more 

 slowly; the leaves are thicker and more erect, and ot a deeper green. The fruit is generally round, and in color 

 varying from light red to dark brown. 



The Dukes have stout, erect branches usually, and some of them, like Heine Hortense, quite sweet fruit ; while 

 the Morellos have slender, spreading branches, and acid fruit invariably. These two classes are peculiarly appro- 

 priate for dwarfs and pyramids, on the Mahaleb stock, and their hardiness renders them well worthy of attention 

 in localities where the Heart and Bigarreau are too tender. 



Arcli Duke— Large ; bright red, but becomes very dark when fully ripe ; flesh melting, juicy, rich, sub-acid. Tree 

 rather more vigor(yus and upright than the May Duke ; hardy and prolific. Ripe flrst and second weeks in July.

DISEASES AND ENEMIES OF THE PLUM. 



The prevalence of the disease of the Plum, commonly called the "black knot," and of the insect known as the 

 curcuMo, has of late discouraged people generally from giving to the Plum its merited share of attention. It is not 

 to be denied that these are obstacles of considerable magnitude to indifl'erent, slovenly cultivators ; but we are
