Lawrence's Favorite. 



Lawrence's Gage. Reine Claude de Lawrence. 



Lawrence's Favoiite is a fruit of high merit, raised by Mr. L. TJ. 

 Lawrence, of Hudson, N. Y., from a seed of the Green Gage. 



The general appearance of the fruit is like that of its parent, except 



that it is much larger. It hangs well 

 on the tree, and its size, flavor, and pro- 

 ductiveness should give it a place in 

 every garden. 



Lawrence's Favorite forms an up- 

 right tree of thrifty growth". Young 

 branches smooth. 



Fmit large, heavy, roundish, a little 

 flattened at either end. Skin dull yel- 

 lowish green, cloiidcd with streaks of a 

 darker shade beneath, and covered with 

 a light bluish-green bloom. The upper 

 part of the fruit, when fully ripe, is cov- 

 ered with a peculiar brownish )iet>cork, 

 and a few i-eddish dots. Stalk short, 

 only half an inch long, slender, inserted 

 in a narrow cavity. Flesh greenish, 

 resembling that of the Gi'een Gage, re- 

 markably juicy and melting, perhaps scarcely so rich as the lattei", but 

 with a very rich, sprightly vinous flavor, and one of the most delicious 

 of plums. The flesh sometimes adheres a little when not fully ripe, 

 but then separates freely. Best. Middle of August.
