286 . Report upon the Varieties of the Cherry, 



sized, or rather large. Petals roundish, concave, imbricated. Stamens and style strong, 

 the former uniformly shorter than the latter. Fruit middle-sized, round, or somewhat 

 oblate. Stalk varying in length, from sometimes scarcely an inch to an inch and a half. 

 Skin bright red, occasionally acquiring a dark red colour. Flesh whitish, very juicy and 

 acid. Stone middle-sized, roundish. 



Ripens about the middle or towards the end of July. It is an 

 abundant bearer, and much cultivated. The stalk is so firmly 

 attached to the stone that both may be withdrawn together from 

 the fruit, leaving the latter apparently whole ; on this account it is 

 well adapted for drying, which is effected by spreading it on hair 

 sieves exposed to the sun, or by placing it in an oven. 



It may be proper to observe, that the fruit of the two following 

 varieties are usually sold in the London markets under the name of 

 Kentish Cherries, and sometimes the Carnation is also included.

 The fruit is very like the Kentish, except in having a shorter 

 stalk. The trees grow more upright, but are not such abundant 

 bearers. The fruit possesses the same properties as the Kentish.
