Its vigorous habit, erect . form, large foliage, and large sweet fruit, have rendered it perhaps the most popular variety in cultivation. The tree requires somewhat more pruning to thin it out than other varieties ; otherwise, as the trees grow old, they become too thick, and the fruit attains only medium size. Fruit, large, heart shape, often obtuse, ir- regular uneven surface, glossy, purplish black, slight suture half round; jiesh, liver color, juicy, sweet, half tender, separating freely from pit, mild, pleasant, not high flavor ; pit, below medium size; stalk, sunk in a regular cavity.
