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.

"It is a valuable and pretty variety for the dessert, hanging late 
on the tree, and is admired by all amateurs. 
Fruit small, regular, oval heart-shaped. Skin glossy, thin, and 
nearly transparent, showing the network texture of the flesh 
beneath, yellowish-white, delicately blotched with fine red ; dis- 
tinct suture line on both sides. Stalk long and slender. Flesh 
tender and melting, and when fully ripe very sweet, mingled 
with a very slight portion of the piquant bitter of the Mazzard 
class of cherries. First of July.
