This variety should not be mistaken for the Black Spanish of the Germans although 

 Elliott speaks of it as such with the statement that it was grown in New Jersey about 

 1823, from whence it was introduced into Ohio. It was known as Guigne Reinette Noire 

 about the provinces of Main and Anjou, France, where it is said to have originated. Some 

 authors have confused it with Hogg's Black Heart from which it differs in being more 

 firm. Tree large, vigorous, productive; fruit large, usually attached in threes, obtuse- 

 cordate, plump; suture wide; stem medium in length, inserted in a rather wide, deep cavity; 

 skin thick, glossy, brownish-red changing to black; flesh colored, tender, fibrous, juicy, 

 sweet, vinous; quality good; pit small, roundish-oval, turgid; ripens the last of June.
