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 Wm. Prince, who’ propagated it under the 
name of Elkhorn, by which it was there known. The bark 
is of a peculiarly gray colour, and the growth quite vigorous. 
Fruit large, heart-shaped, with a very irregular or uneven sur- 
face. Skin deep black, glossy, (before fully ripe, deep purple, 
‘mottled with black), Stalk rather short, set in a pretty deep 
hollow. Flesh very solid and firm, dark purple, moderately 
juicy. Ripe first and second week in July.
