Tree vigorous; fruit small or of medium size, cordate; stem long; skin

ripens in July.
=Cocklin Favorite.= _P. avium._ =1.= _Gard. Mon._ =3=:249 fig., 1861.
=2.= Downing _Fr. Trees Am._ 458. 1869.
_Late Amber._ =3.= _Horticulturist_ =17=:381. 1862.
This seedling was introduced by E. H. Cocklin, Shepherdstown,
Pennsylvania, but its origin is unknown. Tree upright, conical, very
productive; fruit large, roundish, regular, slightly compressed,
somewhat flattened at the base, almost without a suture; apex depressed;
stem long, slender; cavity deep; skin yellowish shaded and mottled in
the sun with a light crimson; flesh tender, juicy, sweet, vinous;
quality good; stone very small for the size of the fruit; season late.
=Coe Late Carnation.= _P. cerasus._ =1.= Elliott _Fr. Book_ 216. 1854.
=2.= Downing _Fr. Trees Am._ 275. 1857.
_Coe's Späte Rote Kirsche._ =3.= Mathieu _Nom. Pom._ 343, 344. 1889.
This is a late variety of unknown origin--possibly a seedling of
Carnation. Fruit medium to large, cordate; suture shallow; color
yellowish-amber mottled with clear red; flesh tender, juicy, subacid;
quality fair; season the last of July.
=Coeur de Pigeon Noir.= Species? =1.= Mas _Pom. Gen._ =11=:148. 1882.
Fruit of medium size, cordate, slightly elongated.
=Coeur de Poule.= _P. avium._ =1.= Prince _Pom. Man._ =2=:124. 1832.
_Gros Bigarreau coeur-de-Poule_ =2.= _Rev. Hort._ 65. 1881.
According to Prince, this variety was rather extensively cultivated in
the south of France especially in the vicinity of Toulouse, where it was
known as Cor dè Galino. The fruit ripens in July, has the form of the
Hearts; its vivid red changes to nearly black as does also the juice.
=Cole.= _P. cerasus._
Cole is a rather small-sized Morello of little value and no doubt now
out of cultivation. Fruit cordate, compressed along the sutures; stem
long, slender, set in a wide cavity; skin nearly black; flesh tender,
rather meaty, dark red, lighter near the pit, having abundant,
wine-colored juice, sour, sprightly; stone clings; season late.
=Columbia.= _P. avium._ =1.= Downing _Fr. Trees Am._ 459. 1869.
Tree vigorous, spreading, productive; fruit of medium size,
heart-shaped, inclining to a point, surface angular and uneven, sides
compressed; suture deep, narrow; stem long, slender; cavity large, deep;
skin whitish-yellow, blushed and mottled with light red; flesh whitish,
stained with pink, tender, juicy, pleasant; season the last of June.
=Common Morello.= _P. cerasus._ =1.= Prince _Pom. Man._ =2=:143, 144.
1832. =2.= _Am. Pom. Soc. Rpt._ 103. 1852.
_Wild Morello._ =3.= _Lond. Hort. Soc. Cat._ 54. 1831.
_Common Red Morello._ =4.= _Kan. Hort. Soc. Rpt._ 144. 1886.
This variety must not be confused with the well-known English Morello.
Through self-propagation, it is widely known, as are its many seedlings
which oft-times surpass it in size and quality.
