Some of these trees were planted at Maplehurst,and, although still only bushes, they bore quite freelyin 1897. Mr. Niemetz claims that it will endurealmost any degree of cold, and that it begins bearing atthe age of four or five years from the pit, which heclaims is the best method of propagating it (see , 1869, p. 218). They might well be grown inrows, 5 or 6 feet apart, just as we grow raspberriesand currants. The fruit closely resembles that of theMorello (English).

The earliest cherry is the Early Purple, a foreign variety known in France as the EarlyPurple Guigne. The tree is a vigorous, upright grower, and becomes quite productive as thetree acquires age. A tree at Grimsby, about thirty years planted, yielded in 1896, 144 were harvested on the 11th of June, and sold in the wholesale market at an average oftwelve cents per quart. This is the trees best record, for usually the birds destroy the fruitbefore it matures, and if gathered as soon as colored red, it is little more than skin and last few days of growth it fills out wonderfully, and becomes almost a so-called blackcherry. The branch which we photographed was taken from the tree above referred to andshows the habit of fruiting.
