Possibly this is the same as the White Heart of England. It is without a
doubt a separate variety from the Guignier à gros fruit blanc of
Duhamel. Fruit above medium in size, elongated-cordate; stem very long,
slender, set in a deep cavity; suture a line, skin yellowish-white,
tinged with red in the sun, uneven, glossy, transparent; flesh white,
not very tender, juicy, sweet; quality good; stone of medium size,
cordate, acute; ripens at the end of June.

Enopa, a cross between the Sand Cherry and the Occident plum, was sent

=Episcopale.= _P. cerasus._ =1.= Thomas _Guide Prat._ 25, 193. 1876.
=2.= Leroy _Dict. Pom._ =5=:265 fig. 1877.
This variety, according to Leroy, was found in the vicinity of Paris and
was introduced by M. Jamin-Durand, Bourg-la-Reine, in 1846. The tree is
distinguished from that of Montmorency in being more erect, less dense,
less productive; the fruit is more acid and later in ripening.
