As yet we do not know of this variety having fruited in this country, 

 but from its high praise in England, where it originated, and the fact of 

 our clear, sunny clime adding to the richness and sugary character of

It was grown from a stone brought from Syria, and is described in the 

 journal of the London Horticultural Society as above medium size, round 

 ish oval, slightly heart shape at base ; pale greenish white, shaded into 

 deep, rich violet in sun ; flesh, white, tender, juicy, rich, sugary, and with
