BLACK HEART. P. avium. Although one of the oldest cherries under cultivation, Black Heart is still largely grown the world over. Prince, in 1832, said that it was more widely known than any other cherr)' in the country. While this statement would not hold for Black Heart now, it is still, because of the fruitfulness of the tree and the high qual- ity and beauty of the fruit, a variety of much merit. Black Heart fails in commercial fruit- growing since the fruit does not meet mar- ket demands because of two defects: it does not ship well; and, when brown-rot is rife, it quickly succumbs to this fungus. This cherry was mentioned by John Rea in 1676, but with- out doubt it originated many years previous to that date. Tree large, very vigorous, tall, wide-spreading, pro- ductive. Leaves very large, oblong, wave<l, acuminate, nearly flat; petiole of medium length, lightly tinged with red, with greenish glands. Flowers very early, medium In size. Fruit early, season long ; large, obtuse- cordate, somewhat compressed ; cavity broad ; suture deep; surface somewhat irregular; color dark purp
