The following description is from the originator 
of this wonderful cherry, in Mercer Countv, X. J. Tlie 
tree w^as found gj*owing on an old farm among a 
number of Mazzard cherries: 
“ It is a very dark red, nearly black. It is one 'of 
the most profuse bearers, and for growth and hardi¬ 
ness it is second to none. It is a sure cropper. The 
former owmer of the farm has lived on the place since 
birth, and cannot remember a single year wjieii that 
cherr^^ tree did not bpar; and for canning it has no 
equal. It is a splendid shipper, and always lirings 
the highest prices in the market.” 
Another feature of this cherry is, that we have 
never seen them wormy. 
“ The tree this lastVear w^as well filled wdth fruit, 
and it brought on an average .50 per basket, clear 
of all expenses, and the tree netted over .*1^50.”
