"* C. ». 3 _fidre plena Hort.—All the stamens of this variety are changed into petals ; and the pistillum into small green leaves, which occupy the centre of the flower. The flower is smaller and less beautiful than that of the double m^risier; but, as the tree does not grow so high, and as it can be grown as a shrub, it is suitable for planting in situations where the other cannot be introduced. It is commonly grafted on the Prunus Mahaleb. f C. o. 4 persici/ldra Hort.—The flowers are double, and rose-coloured. This variety was known to Bauhin and to Tournefort, but is at pre- sent rare in gardens. i C. i;. 5 Joins variegdtis Hort. has variegated leaves. The fruit-bearing varieties are arranged in the Nouveau Du Hamel, under the following heads: — 1. Flesh whitish, and more or less acid; including the Montmorency cherry. 2. Flesh whitish, and only very slightly acid; including the English duke cherries. 3. Flesh red, including the griottiers, or morellos.

Suttner's Yellow is a vigorous-growing tree, like the preceding, but with golden-coloured fruit. The Kentish Cherry is a round-headed tree, with slender shoots, some- what pendulous. The May Duke
