In the Revue Hortacole for May 16, we find noticed under the head of " New American Cherries" by M. Naudin, the seedings of Mr. Walsh of Charlestown, near Boston which were briefly discussed at the last meeting of the Pomological Society.

M. Naudin describes them as being remarkable for their size, agreeable flavor, and particularly for their lateness, all three ripening in October and at intervals of one week. M. Naudin has either committed a great error, or has been incorrectly informed. We believe Mr. Walsh's seedling which is described as being similar to the " Black Bigarreau of Savoy," ripens about the same season as that variety, the last of July.

We copy the discussion on this variety, from the proceedings of the American Pomological Society pages 196 and 197. B.

Mr. Cabot of Massachusetts. We have a cherry seedling in this neighborhood raised by George Walsh of Charlestown He states that there are three different seedlings ripening at intervals, of about one week from each other; but they are so much alike that it is difficult to tell them apart, except by the time of ripening. It is a very valuable large sized black cherry. I propose that we call it Walsh's Seedling.

Mr. Walker of Massachusetts. I have been acquainted with this cherry some fourteen years. When it was first exhibited at the tables of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, there was some doubt as to its being a seedling, from the fact that a Mr. Brown of Danvers had presented a cherry very much like it, which he called the Black Bigarreau of Savoy. I happened to be upon a committee which was sent out to examine the tree. We did not make a very thorough examination, but satisfied ourselves that the trees were not budded. We afterwards came to the conclusion that it was a seedling of Mr. Walsh, as some years elapsed and no such cherry was brought in by any other person. I think Mr. Walsh called it No. I. It is well known as being a large black cherry, equal in size to the Black Tartarian; a very firm fleshed and excellent cherry; I should say of the beat quality.

Mr. Prince of Long Island. Some years ago Mr. Walsh sent me grafts of these cherries, I inserted them, and called them Walsh No. 1 and No. 2; but was afterwards satisfied that they were the same as the Black Bigarreau of Savoy. The cherry is large, round, and jet black. Mr. Hovey of Massachusetts. I introduced the Black Bigarreau of Savoy to the public here; and think it an entirely different cherry from Mr. Walsh's, which was put into the catalogue as the New Black Bigarreau, and is known to Massachusetts Society as such.

Mr. Walker of Massachusetts. Does the gentleman consider Mr. Walsh's cherry a seedling ?

Mr. Hovey of Massachusetts. I cannot say.

Mr. Cabot of Massachusetts. Mr. Walsh presented two varieties of cherry here, which he stated to be seedlings, and I do not now see that the gentleman denies them to be so.

Mr. Walker of Massachusetts. If Mr. Walsh's cherry is not a seedling, why have we not, in fifteen or twenty years, found it imported from Europe ? When a gentleman presents a fruit as a seedling, and that length of time is given for contradicting him, the chances are that he will be contradicted. But there is nothing against; the claim of Mr. Walsh here, except the statement of Mr. Prince, which can undoubtedly be explained. I think Mr. Walsh, who raised the seedling, is entitled to give it a name.

Mr. Lines of Connecticut I move that it be placed on the list of those varieties which promise wellt under the name of Walsh's Seedling.

The motion of Mr. Lines prevailed.
