276 Report upon the Varieties of the Cherry, 



A good bearer, ripening about the middle of July. It is a much 

 better fruit than Lady Southampton's Yellow, to which it has a re- 

 semblance, and is deserving of cultivation. 



Was raised from seed by Buttner of Halle, by whom it was 

 brought into notice about 1803, when it first began to produce 

 fruit. 



37. Golden Knob. 

 Syn. Golden Knob. Hort. Cat. No. 105. 

 Not worthy of cultivation. 



§ IV. Fruit round or oblate, uniform dark red or black. 

 38. Merise Petite Ronde. 

 Syn. Merise Petite Ronde. Hort. Cat. No. 165. 

 This is unworthy of cultivation. 



§ V. Fruit round or oblate, pale yellow and red. 

 § VI. Fruit round or oblate, uniform pale yellow. 

 None of the Cherries as yet proved in the Society's Garden 

 belong to these two sections. They are however retained, as it is 

 very probable that varieties will yet be found referable to them. 



Class II. Leaves with the margin plane. 

 § VII. Fruit roundish-heart-shaped, flesh sweet, juice pale. 

 39. Late Duke. 

 Syn. Late Duke. Pom. Mag. No. 45. Lindl. Guide, 145. 

 Anglaise Tardive. Hort. Cat. No. 76. 



Tree vigorous. Branches more spreading than those of the May Duke. Shoots of a 

 yellowish colour on the shaded side, and yellowish brown where exposed. Leaves larger 

 than those of the May Duke, but of thinner texture and more yellowish green beneath.
