It was received from M. Noisette under the name of Cerise du 

 Nord. He mentions, in his Jardin Fruitier, 2. ] 9, that it is much 

 cultivated in Brabant, and part of Holland, from whence he brought 

 it to Paris in 1807, and that in the former countries it was gene- 

 rally cultivated against a wall, and most frequently on a northern 

 aspect. At Paris the violent sun was found to affect it too rapidly 

 in its change from the acid state ; so that it appears to require 

 being brought more gradually to maturity : therefore Noisette, 

 aware of its importance, has set the example at Paris of planting it 

 against a north wall.
