. The fruits and fruit trees of America;. Fruit-culture; Fruit. 172 THE CHERRY 11. CoRONE. Thomp Fors. Couronne. Lind. Coroun. Lang. Herefordshire Black. Black Orleans, large Wild Black. The Corone is a natural cherry in many par Is of England, reproducing itself from seed, growing with great vigour, and bearing most abundantly. It is only of second quality being merely an improved Mazzard, and does not deserve a place in a small collection, but as it is very hardy and ripens late, it is of some value at the north on that account. Fruit below middle size, roundish heart-shaped. Skin dingy black when fully ripe. Stalk two inches long, slender, and in- serted in a deep and narrow cavity. Flesh when ripe, tender, abounding in a deep purple juice, of tolerably good flavour. Middle of July. The Black Heart is often incorrectly called by this name in the middle states. 12. DowNTON. § Thomp. Lind. A. very beautiful and excellent large variety raised by T. A. Knight, Esq., of Downton Castle, from the seed, it is be- TieEved, of the Elton. It ripens a little Idi^ef than the majority of sorts, and is a VG»/desirable cherry. Fruit laj-ge, very blunt heart-shaped, nearly roundish. Stalk one and a half to two inches long, slender, set in a pretty deep, broad hollow. Skin pale cream colour, semi-transparent, deli- cately stained on one side with red, and marbled with red dots. Flesh yellowish, without any red, tender, adhering slightly to the stone, with a delicious, rich fla- vour. Early in July. Fig. 64. DowTUon. 13. DIvenport's Early. Davenport. Davenport's Early Black. Ken. Scarcely different from the Black Heart—indeed, we fino it.
