The tree is vigorous, with large foli- age, and spreading, or rather round regular form ; flowers, large, and open irregularly, so that often a portion may be injured by late frosts, and others escape. Fruit, large, rounded, angular, heart shape, sides slightly compressed; color, reddish black ; flesh, dark purplish red, radiating lines whitish, partially indistinct, half tender, juicy, sweet and rich ; pit, nearly smooth, slight de- pressions, round oval; stem, medium, set in a cavity slightly angular. Season, early—say middle of June. Belle Magnifique. Beile et Magnifique. First introduced into this country from France by Gen. Dear- born. The tree is of Duke habit, hardy, healthy, and vigorous. It is a moderate bearer, the fruit, if permitted, hanging on the tree until August, although much of it suitable for cooking last of June. As a fruit for culinary purposes, it is very desirable. Fruit, when trees are well cultivated, of the largest size, ovate rounded, often pointed, heart shape; color, clear rich red on pale yellow; when fully exposed to the sun, mostly red; flesh, yellowish, tender, sub-acid when fully ripe, sprightly, separates freely from the pit; stem, planted in a deep yet open cavity or basin, and varying from 1 1-4 to 1 3-4 inch in length. Season, middle June to Aug. Cleveland. Cleveland Bigarreau. Raised by Prof. Kirtland in 1842, on a gravelly loam soil. The tree is thrifty, with stout shoots, and of a rounded spread- ing habit; large leaves; flowers, above medium, profusely abundant, and, thus far, it has proved healthy wherever Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Elliott, Franklin Reuben, 1817-1878.
