Allen's Sweet Montmorency. 3. Bridgeman Card. Ass't Pt. 3:183. 1847.

 a sweet, delicate flavor and the growth and habit of the tree is that of a Heart. Probably 

 it is a hybrid between a Heart and a MoreUo or Montmorency. It was raised by J. F. 

 Allen, Salem, Massachusetts. Tree vigorous, somewhat spreading; fruit rather small, 

 nearly round; suture shallow; stem short; cavity shallow; skin pale amber in the shade,
