Koslov-Morello. 62 Victoria. Sessional Papers (f^o. 21). A. 1899 EARLY PURPLE. (Early Purple Ghiigne.) The earliest cherry is the Early Purple, a foreign variety known in France as the EarlyPurple Guigne. The tree is a vigorous, upright grower, and becomes quite productive as thetree acquires age. A tree at Grimsby, about thirty years planted, yielded in 1896, 144 quarts.They were harvested on the 11th of June, and sold in the wholesale market at an average oftwelve cents per quart. This is the trees best record, for usually the birds destroy the fruitbefore it matures, and if gathered as soon as colored red, it is little more than skin and bones.The last few days of growth it fills out wonderfully, and becomes almost a so-called blackcherry. The branch which we photographed was taken from the tree above referred to andshows the habit of fruiting.
