A handsome globular^ red s:cA 

 speckled plum, parting easily 

 from the stem ; flesh rather soft 

 and juicy, of good quality and 

 a peachy flavor, tending to be 

 sour rather than sweet ; tree 

 (figure 1 17) moderately spread- 

 ing, and a good grower, and 

 evidently productive. Ripened 

 with us this year from Septem- 

 ber 8 to 15. One of the most promising of the 

 lesser known varieties.
