Jacinthe

A fine plum oblong form and brown color which
is something between blue and red, the size is midling
about that of a small yellow gage. The flesh is of a greenish
yellow, juicy, tender and finely flavored, it adheres to the Stone.
It does not appear quite so large as the Jacinthe delineated
in L'Abbé Rozier No 34. 8th vol. pp 410.414, but it is certainly <s>an</s>
estimable both for its flavor and early ripening, being in
perfection in the latter part of July.  (July 28. 1812)
