It is an European variety, but a tree, growing about forty years since 

 in the garden of an inn in Maryland, attracted the notice of the late

 it was there known. The bark is of a peculiarly gray color, and the 

 growth quite vigorous. 



Fruit large, heart-shaped, with a very irregular or uneven surface.

 black). Stalk rather short, set in a pretty deep hollow. Flesh very
