Hogg's Red Gean
A beautiful red cherry, freckled with yellow; flesh a pale orange; juicy, tender, and sweet.
Late Amber Gean. Of medium size; skin very thin and semi transparent; delicately and richly flavoured.
Late Purple Gean. One of the finest late sorts, ripening in the end of July. Rose de Lyons, or Early Lyons. Light yellow in colour, and of a delicious flavour; one of the earliest and best cherries grown. Waterloo. A noble-looking cherry, depressed at the end, and flattened on one side; black, covered with small dots; tender and juicy. Werder's Early Black. Very large, with a deep suture on one side; deep purple colour, and a rich purple flesh, of delicious flavour. DUKES, or MAY DUKES. These, though not so sweet as the two classes already named, are nevertheless fully as popular, and equally useful. For all culinary purposes, this class of Cherries, from their sharp sub-acid qualities, are preferred to either the Bigarrean or Gean.
Archduke. Of excellent quality, almost jet-black when ripe; flesh deep red, tender, and juicy; ripens in July. This is the largest of the Dukes. Belle Magnifique. A very large, clear, bright red cherry, with yellow flesh, and a sharpish sub-acid flavour.
Buttner's October. Light red flesh, and a pleasant, sharpish flavour. A very useful, late, and excellent culinary variety.
Carnation. Flesh tender, rather acid. A valuable reddish-yellow cherry, hanging till the end of August or middle of September. Duchesse de Pallnau. Very large, brilliant red, becoming darker as it ripens; flesh tender and juicy, richly coloured, and briskly acid.
