THE CHERRY. 
inclining to oblong. Skin pale yellow, becoming amber in the 
shade, richly dotted and spotted with very deep red, and with a 
fine marbled dark crimson cheek. Flesh very firm (almost too 
much so), juicy, with an excellent flavour. Stalk very stout, 
short, and set in a narrow cavity. Ripens a few days after the 
Bigarreau, about the first of July, and is a good and constant 
bearer. The fruit is not so obtuse as the Bigarreau. 
Holland Bigarreau is so much like the above that we think 
it identical. Requires further trial to decide correctly.

This superb fruit has already become 
a general favourite in all our gardens ; 
and in size, flavour, and productiveness 
it has no superiour among black cher- 
ries. It is a Russian and West Asian 
variety, introduced into England about 
1 1 96, and brought thence to this country 
about thirty years ago. It is remark- 
able for its rapid, vigorous growth, large 
leaves, and the erect habit of its head. 
The fruit ripens about the middle of 
June, a few days after the Mayduke. 
Fruit of the largest size, heart-shaped, 
(sometimes rather obtuse,) irregular and uneven on the surface. 
Skin glossy, bright purplish black. Flesh purplish, thick, (the 
stone being quite small,) half-tender, and juicy. Flesh very 
rich and delicious. 
Coe’s Transparent. 
Fruit of medium size, remarkably round and regular in form. 
Skin thin, wax-like, of a very delicate pale amber, nearly covered 
with pale cornelian red in the sun, and marked with delicate 
pale spots or blotches, which give it a unique appearance. Stalk
