short-stalked, the calyx lobes glandular; leaves short, broadly elliptic-ovate, compara- 

 tively short-pointed, finely serrate, the short stalks glandular. Early. Recalls the 

 Chickasaws. Origin uncertain; said by Munson to have originated in southern Texas, 

 and by Onderdonk to have come from Georgia; others say that it came from 

 Arkansas. C. 



51. Kanawha. — Fruit medium to large, round, red, skin medium thick; cling; leaves 

 large and broad with long points, rather thick and dull, the edges irregular with 

 rounded teeth and notches, with several glands on the stalks. Late. Georgia? "Simi- 

 lar to Wayland "—Mmisoii. "Almost like Reed. Excellent for spicing. An enormous 

 bearer." — Berckmans. C. 



52. Mississippi Apricot {Honey Drop).— Medium to rather large, round, deep yellow, 

 skin medium; semi-cling, the stone rather short and turgid, produced abruptly into 

 short points; flowers medium, short-stalked; leaves medium in size with conspicuous 

 points and with rather large serrations, light-colored, the whitish stalks bearing very 

 small glands or sometimes even glandless. Late. Perhaps the best yellow plum. 

 Quality high. Found wild in Missouri and introduced by Stark Bros, in lh86. "Every 

 way an improvement on Golden Beauty." — C. M. Stark. C. 



53. Moreman. — Medium in size, round, dark red, skin medium thick; cling, the stone 

 small and nearly circular; the points very short; leaves medium, long-pointed, ratuer 

 coarsely serrate, rather dull in texture, the stalks nearly or quite glandless. Late. A 

 strong spreading grower, producing abundantly of handsome and high quality fruit. 

 It suggests the Miner group and may belong to it. Originated in Kentucky. Intro- 

 duced by W. F. Heikes in 1881. "Cooks well. As good as a Damson when spiced."— 

 Kerr. C. 



54. Poole {PooMs Pride). — Large, round-oblong, red, skin medium thick; cling; leaves 

 rather small and narrow, very finely serrate, the short stalks glandless or nearly so. 

 Early to medium, of high quality. Succeeds Wild Goose. A wild variety from Illinois, 

 introduced in 1888 by Stark Bros. I am not well acquainted with this variety. It 

 looks much like a Chickasaw. 



55. iieerf.- Medium, round, dark red, skin medium; cling, the stone short and turgid, 

 pitted, the point abrubt and short; flowers medium, short-stalked; leaves very broad 

 (elliptic-ovate or even nearly round-ovate) and large, firm, the point abrupt and con- 

 spicuous, unevenly serrate, the stalks bearing few small glands. Late. A very strong 

 spreading grower. Much like Moreman in fruit. Said to have been introduced by the 

 late Mr. Reed, Hightstown, N. J. C. 



56. Roulette. — Medium to rather large, round or round-oblong, red and coloring com- 

 pletely before dropping from the tree, skin thin; cling, stone (like Wild Goose) oblong- 

 obovate and rather slender, scarcely pointed above; flowers medium on rather conspic- 

 uous stalks; leaves the shape and size of peach leaves and like those of Wild Goose, 

 the serratures small and even, the stalks glandular. Early to medium. Texan? The 

 Mexican Roulette is evidently the same. C. 



57. .S^Mcfcer S^a^e.— Large, round, dull red, skin thick; cling; flowers large, stalked; 

 leaves medium to large, long taper-pointed, irregularly and obtusely but rather finely 

 (for the size of the leaf) toothed, stalks glandular. Medium to late. Illinois? C. 



58. Tfxas Bell (or Belle?).— Fx\x\i medium to large, nearly spherical, red; stone short 

 and turgid, obtuse below and very short-pointed above; leaves medium, elliptic-oblong 

 and short-pointed, finely and even serrate, the stalks glandular. Ripens last of June in 

 Texas. Originated by Stephan H. Turner. Texas, and introduced by J. T. Whitaker, 

 Tyler, Texas. Perhaps a Chickasaw. 



59. Wayland.— ¥xmt large, round-oblong, shining pink-red, skin medium; smi-cling, 

 the stone rather small for the size of the fruit, turgid and slightly pitted, very short- 

 pointed at both ends; flower large and long-stalked, very late; leaves medium to large, 

 rather thick and heavy, long pointed, the edges irregular serrate and notched, the stalks 

 usually glandular. Very late. One of the best native plums, but too late for the 

 northern states. Introduced by Downer & Bro., Fairview, Ky. First propagated in 

 1876. It cam.e up in a small plum ticket in a corner of the garden of Professor H. B. 

 Wayland, Cadiz, Ky. C.

 narrow, prolonged above into a sharp point and below into a narrow base, finely pitted: 

 flowers medium to large, stalked: leaves oblong-lanceolate, peach-like, not prominently
