On seeing a cut and description of the above cherry, in the Horticulturist, a few years ago, I think I was among the first to get hold of it. This year it fruited finely with me, and as there has been nothing said about it since its introduction into the country, and even some reputable catalogues omit a description of it (which I think a very good plan, so long as a fruit is not known,) 1 will say a word about ft. I have not at hand the volume of the Horticulturist, where-in it is described, but at the time of its ripening I considered the description above named, as correct as I would undertake to make one, except the fruit is not quite so large as the cut represented; it is quite firm, excellent flavored, and ripened a little after the Black Tartarian. I consider it a splendid cherry, and, from experience, believe it to be an early bearer .as a small tree but two years from the bud had three cherries on ft about four feet from the ground; they were however far inferior to those on grafts on a large tree.
