in the centrjil and soutliem States, api)ear with, the leaves in 

 loose umbel-like clusters. This is the same kind of variation 

 which occui'w in the Wild Groose (see No. 61). In some of the 

 New^ York trees the leaves are unusually large and often nearly 

 plane. The Chickasaw method of growth is fairly well retained, 

 however. Warren is thought to be identical with Newman C. 



84. Ogeechee.— Small to medium, round-oblong, red; leaves short, 

 ovate-oblong. Very early. Similar to Caddo Chief. Wild from 

 Georgia; introduced by G-. Bourquin. 



85. Pottawattamie. — Bather large, round, red; leaves rather 

 small, narrowly oblong-lanceolate to ovate-oblong. Early to 

 medium. Tennessee; it was taken to Iowa in a lot of Miners, 

 and came under the notice of J. B. Bice, CoimcU Bluffs, in 1875, 

 who introduced it. Various stories are told about its origin, but 

 the above is cori'ect. It ai>pea-rs to have received its name from 

 Mr. Bice. Lilce the Newman, the leaves appear to be larger hi 

 the north. " Enormous bearer." — Berclonanis. C. 



86. B(^>binson. — Medium, round, blotched red; leaves medium 

 or small, ovate-oblong or oblong-lanceolate. Md-season. " This 

 is a seedling grown by a INIr. Pickett, of Putnam county, Indiana, 

 from a seedling brought with him from North Carolina, nearly 

 fifty years ago, and has, almost every season (since large enough), 

 borne abundant ei'f>ps, but was neglected, and never brought to 

 the notice of the public till 1870, Avhen Dr. J. H. Bobiuson (of 

 the same township) read a paper before the Indiana Iloiticultural 

 Society, on Chickasaw plums, and gave a very flattei-ing descrip- 

 tion of this plum, which he had been watching since 1872, and 

 of which he had two good crops on his own trees, >\iiich bore 

 two bushels to the tree five yeare after planting, and has bonie 

 good crops annually, except once, when killed by late fro.<its. It 

 was named by the Putnam County Horticultural Society in himor 

 of Dr. Bobinson." — Albertson '& HobbvS, Bi-jdgexHJiit, Indiana 

 (1885), who introduced the variety in the fall of 1884 and spring 

 of 1885. Like WUd Goose and Newman, in New York the flowers 

 appear with the leaves. C.
