REPUBLICAN. Fig. 137. P. avium. Black Republican. LcweUing. Judged by the palate, Republican is one of the best of the Bigarreaus. The cherries are rich in flavor, firm of flesh, and have an abun- dance of refresh- ing juice. Judged by the eye, also, the variety holds its own with the best of its class, the fruit having a pleasing rotundity of shape and a beautiful dark red, almost black, glossy color. In size of fruit, the variety often falls short. The trees are large, spread- ing, and vigorous, but are susceptible to the shot-hole fungiis and ex- ceedingly capri- cious as to soils, failing in all but the very choicest cherry environ- ments.

Tree large, vigorous, upright-spreading, open-topped, very productive. Leaves numerous, 5 inches long, 2 inches wide, obovate, thin ; margin coarsely and doubly serrate, glandular; petiole IV inches long, thick, with 2 or 3 large, reniform, light green or reddish glands. Flowers midseason; white, 1V inc
