Corone, as the references show, is one of the oldest-named varieties, though strictly 

 speaking, since it was largely grown from seed, according to the old writers, it is 

 a type and not a variety. In character of fruit it seems to be midway between Black 

 Mazzard and Black Tartarian. Tree vigorous, productive; fruit below medium in size, 

 roundish-cordate, compressed and often roughened; suture deep; stem slender, long; cavity 

 deep, round, narrow; color a deep, shining black; flesh dark purple, very firm, sweet; 

 ripens late.
