NOTES RESPECTING SOME OF THE PLUMS FRUITED DURING THE 



PAST SEASON. 



European or domestica varieties. 



Bailey is a variety received in scion from S. S. Bailey of Kent county, Michigan, 

 without name, and is temporarily designated as above. The fruit is large, yellow, 

 nearly free, and of excellent quality. The tree is vigorous, of upright habit. Pro- 

 ductiveness yet undetermined. 



Bavay was originally introduced from Belgium as Reine Claude de Bavay. But 

 that type of high quality among plums, the true Green Gage or Reine Claude, hav- 

 ing long since preempted both these names, their application to this is sure to 

 occasion confusion. For this reason, and in the interest of brevity, the word Bavay 

 (the originator's name) only is used to designate this variety. 



Black Diamond, round; Grana Duke, long oval, and Kingston, of similar form, 

 are each very large, with dense blue bloom and very showy. The trees are vig- 

 orous and productive. 



Black prune (probably incorrect), Hungarian (?), Merunka, Moldavka, Orel 20, 

 and Yellow Aubert (received as Dame Albert), are all from Prof. Budd's Russian 

 importations. Yellow Aubert promises to be the most valuable of these. So far 

 nearly all are but moderately productive. 



Czar has only fruited this year upon small trees. The fruit is large and attractive. 



Engle, received without name, from C. Engle of Paw Paw, Michigan, is a rather 

 small yellow plum of good quality. It is understood to be the originator's purpose 

 to withhold it on account of its deficient size. 



Gueii, Lombard, Naples, and Niagara (as received here), are all very similar so 

 far as their fruits are concerned, although the trees difCer more or less in habit of 

 growth. 



Saratoga is promising as a market plum. Color purplish red, a rare color among 

 the domesticas. Tree vigorous and productive. 



Victoria fruited here for the first time this season. Weight of a specimen, one 

 and a half ounces; color, red, with yellowish-gray dots; flesh firm, moderately juicy, 

 nearly sweet, freestone. A market variety.
