Sweet Chekies. 495 but little grown for market because of its softness. A peculiarity of the May Duke is its habit of ripening unevenly. It is not infre- quent that one branch or one part of the tree matures its fruit whilst the remainder of the crop is still green. Sometimes the two sides of the same fruit mature at different times. Eeine Hortense is an oblong cordate, light yellow cherry overlaid with amber and splashes of light red. Flesh nearly white, very soft, sub-acid, of medium to good quality. Eots badly. Belle de Choisy is one of the best of dessert cherries, but is too unproductive and too soft for market purposes. It ripens just after the May Duke. Fruit roundish, the skin thin and amber with mottled 88.— Robert's Red Heart. Varieties subject to rot.— In general, it may be said that the tender-fleshed varieties of cherries rot worse than those having firmer flesh among those which are the most susceptible to it are Governor Wood, Elton, Coe's Transparent, Belle d' Orleans, Belle Magnifique, Kockport Bigarreau, Cleveland Bigarreau, and Napo- leon Bigarreau. Among those that are least susceptible are Black Tartarian, Black Eagle, Knight's Early Black, in the Hearts, and Robert's Red Heart, Mezel, Tradescant's Black Heart and Windsor in the firm-fleshed varieties. Family sorts.— For the family varieties the hearts are among the best on account of their tender, luscious flesh, though in point of excellence, some of the Bigarreaus are close competitors. I would recommend the following varieties for family use:.
