Fruit-culture -- United States; Fruit. Bigarreau Gaubalis, Black Bigarreau of Savoy, Bigarreau gros Couret, Bigarreau de Lyon, Guigne Noire luisante, Great Bigarreau ? This variety, originally from France, we different sources, and fruited the past two years under most of the synonymes given. We are also under the impression that the " Great Bigarreau," noticed by Mr. Downing in the Horticulturist for 1851, will yet prove identical; but we cannot yet speak confidently. The tree is a strong, vigorous grower, with large foliage. Its productive habit, fine flesh, and large size of fruit, render it very desirable as a market variety; while its want of deli- cacy and flavor unfit it for grounds of those who grow only for private use. Fruit, very large, roundish, heart shape, occasionally obtuse, dark shining red, becom- ing, when fully ripe, dark purplish black ; sur- face, very uneven ; Jlesh, reddish purple, coarse tissue, with a d"istinct dark line one side next the pit, not very juicy and lacking in high fla- vor ; pit, large, oval; stem, varying, inserted in a shallow depression. Season, 4th to 10th July. Monstreuse de Mezel, New Large Black Bigarreau, Bigarreau gros Monslreux, Gros CoureV, Large Heart Shaped Bigarreau, Ward's Bigarreau. have received from.
