Gros Bigarreau coeur-de-Poule 2. Rev. Hort. 65. 1881. 



According to Prince, this variety was rather extensively cultivated in the south of 

 France especially in the vicinity of Tovdouse, where it was known as Cor dh Galino. The 

 fruit ripens in July, has the form of the Hearts; its vivid red changes to nearly black as 

 does also the juice. 

 Cole. P. cerasus.

 vation. Fruit cordate, compressed along the sutures; stem long, slender, set in a wide 

 cavity; skin nearly black; flesh tender, rather meaty, dark red, lighter near the pit, having 

 abundant, wine-colored juice, sour, sprightly; stone clings; season late.

Common Red Morello. 4. Kan. Hort. Soc. Rpt. 144. 1886. 



This variety must not be confused with the well-known English Morello. Through 

 self-propagation, it is widely known, as are its many seedlings which oft-times surpass it 

 in size and quality.
