Elliott's fruit book; or, The Elliott's fruit book; or, The American fruit-grower's guide in orchard and garden.

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
