NOUVELLE ROYALE. P. aviumXP. Cera^us. This chtrry is one of the best of the Dukes. In particular, it is commended by its product, as the trees do not make so good a showing as the fruit. The cherries are dis- tinguished by their large size, dark red color, glossy surface, good quality, lateness in ma- turing, and sweetness. The shape, also, offers a distinguishing character, the fruits being more oblate than those of any other Duke. The long, stout stem is still another charac- teristic. Unfortunately, the tree is unproduc- tive. Nouvelle Royale is not widely known in America, and may well be given a trial by those who want a late Duke. This variety is supposed from its fruit- and tree-characters to be a hybrid between Early Richmond and May Duke, but where and when it came to light is not known. Downing, in 1869, men- tions the Nouvelle Royale as having recently been introduced into this country. Tree large, vigorous, upright, compact, moderately productive. Leaves numerous, 3% inches long, 2 inches wide, obovate ; margin finely and doubly serrate, glandu- lar; petiole 1% inches long, slender, glandless or with 1-4 globose, greenish-yellow or reddish glands. Flowers midseason ; white, 1 inch across ; borne in dense clusters in threes and fours. Fruit midseason ; 1 inch in diam- eter, oblate, strongly compressed; cavity deep, narrow, abrupt ; suture shallow ; apex flattened or slightly de- pressed ; color dark
