The tree is a strong, healthy grower, upright, rounded in form, shoots strong, not rampant; flowers, large and open, very prolific. The fruit is one of the most beautiful of all cherries, quite firm-flesh- ed, but withal possessing delicacy and high flavor, that renders it one of the most desira- ble varieties, either for dessert or market pur- poses. Fruit, large, roundish, heart-shape, very regular; color, light and dark rich red, deeply marbled and mottled on a yellow, ground, grown fully in the sun, is mostly a rich, dark glossy red ; flesh, with distinct irregular radiat- ing lines, light yellow, quite firm, rich, juicy, sweet, and very high flavored; pit, medium, regular, rounded, with distinct prominent lines or ridges, flesh adheres slightly to it; stem, moderately stout, varying in length.
