A very handsome, light red, large cherry, highly esteemed here for brandying and pre- serving. Fruit large, round. Skin at first yellowish white, mottled with red, but becoming a lively red slightly marbled. Stalk about an inch and a half long, stout. Flesh tender, a little more firm than most of this division, but juicy, and when fully ripe, of a sprightly and good sub-acid flavour. The foliage is pretty large, and the wood strong, but the tree has a spreading, rather low habit. It is a moderate l but regular bearer, and the fruit hangs a/ Jong while on the branches, without Ripe the middle and last of July. Prince's Duke is a Fig. 837 CarnafoW. very large variety of this cherry, raised from a seed of it, by Mr. Prince, of Long Island. Its shy habit of bearing renders it of little value. 65. Cluster.
