The Morello is a fine fruit. Its name is said to be derived from 

 the dark purple colour of its juice, which resembles that of the 

 Morus or Mulberry. It is highly valuable for all kinds of pre- 

 serves, and is an agreeable addition to a dessert. 



Fruit of pretty large size, round, or slightly obtuse, heart- 

 shaped. Skin dark red, becoming nearly black when fully ripe. 

 Flesh dark purplish red, tender, juicy, and of a pleasant sub-acid 

 Savour, when quite mature. Ripe 20th of July.

 the foregoing, and a little darker in colour. Little esteemed.
