Mr. Josiah G. Youngken, of Allentown, Pa., through whose hands we originally received specimens of the Jackson Apple of that region, sends us an account of a cherry with the above name, which is highly prized in his vicinity. Mr. Y. cultivates most of the popular varieties of cherry, but, of all, he considers this the most profitable. He writes: "The original tree is yet standing, in Springfield Township, Bucks County, Pa. It is a healthy, vigorous grower, forming a round head, has large flowers, and is very productive. The fruit is of the largest size, of a regular heart shape, with the suture extending half round. Color, rich red. Flesh, pale yellow, juicy, sweet, and of high flavor. The fruit is borne on long stems, and is in season the middle of June".

We should be glad to receive specimens of this variety in due season. There are now a great number of cherries that it will be difficult to exceed, ripening about the middle and end of June; but there is much room for improvement in early cherries, from the incoming of the Purple Griotte to the Napoleon Bigarreau. If this variety will step in between, it may be very valuable.
