cellent shipper. In size it is very large, usually unsur- 
passed by any black sweet cherry. Bears fruit very

referred to as Black Oxheart. Has pinkish flesh and

est quality; tree thrifty, upright grower, very hardy and

a little earlier in season. The tree is vigorous, thrifty

glossy black cherry, handsome in appearance. The flesh 
is melting but firmer than the early-ripening sweets, 
moderately sweet, and full of aromatic dark-colored juice. 
Ripens with Black Tartarian but is much larger in size 
and firmer flesh makes this variety much more valuable 
than Tartarian. The tree is vigorous and productive.

NEW NOBLE—A dark-colored firm fleshed sweet cherry 
for market and home use. The fruit is large, heart- 
shaped, slightly flattened at the apex, dark purplish red,

less than those of the late sweet varieties. We recom- 
mend this variety very highly as a choice late sweet 
cherry. Strong 4 to 5 foot trees, $1.50 each.
