THE CHERRY.

Early Prolific. Elliott. 
Raised by Dr. Kirtland. An excellent early, very prolific 
variety, of moderate growth. Fruit medium size, round, obtuse 
heart-shape. Light yellow ground, shaded and mottled with 
bright red. Stalk long. Flesh half tender, juicy, rich, sweet, 
and very good. Ripe about a week before Mayduke. 
An old variety, although a good early fruit. It is not equal 
to Belle de Orleans, Early Prolific, and others of same season. 
Fruit below medium size, rather oblong heart-shaped — often 
a little one-sided. Suture quite distinct. Stalk an inch and 
three-fourths long, rather slender, inserted in a wide shallow 
cavity. Skin dull whitish yellow, tinged and speckled with pale 
red in the sun. Flesh half tender, unless fully ripe, when it is 
melting, with a sweet and pleasant flavour. Tree grows rather 
erect, with a distaff-like head when young. First of Juno 
Manning’s Early White similar to above. 
Fruit medium to large, heart-shaped. Skin rich dark red 
when fully ripe. Flesh half-tender, juicy, pleasantly sweet. 
Ripe middle to last of June. Tree vigorous, upright, very pro 
lific. Origin, Caleb Atwater, Ohio. (Elliott.) 
Tree vigorous and productive. Fruit small to medium. Stalk 
long, rather slender, in a slight depression. Colour pale yellow, 
with a light red cheek, somewhat marbled. Flesh tender, juicy, 
sweet, and of a delicate flavour. Ripe last of June. 
A most excellent cherry, originally brought from F.crence, in 
Italy, which considerably resembles the Bigarreau, b it ripens a 
little later, and has the additional good quality of hanging a 
long time on the tree.
