Cerisier coulard de Holland. 11. Noisette Man. Comp. Jard. 2:505. i860. 



Leroy states that Coularde has been known since 1740 but is often confused with 

 other cherries. According to Leroy, this variety was reintroduced as a novelty about 

 1864, under the name Belle d'Orleans. American writers, however, list a Belle d'Orleans 

 as early as 1850, which is of the Guigne type rather than the Griotte. Tree the largest 

 of its class; branches strong and straight; blooms profusely; fruit large, round; skin red; 

 flesh firm, reddish-white, sweet, agreeable; ripens the end of June. The pistils being 

 much longer than the stamens, many flowers are never fertilized which gives the blossoms 

 a blighted appearance.
