Frogmore Damsoist. 



This plum originated, as its name implies, in the Royal Gardens 

 at Frogmore, England, and although a few j-ears have elapsed feince 

 it was raised and distributed, it is not as Avell known as it deserves 

 to be; the habit of the tree is different from that of the usual type, 

 since it has broader leaves, is of spreading growth, and has its shoots 

 less thorny; it is an enormous bearer. 



The fruit is a trifle larg-er than that of its class, of a purpli.sli 

 black color, and inclining to obtuse oval in shaj^e; the flesh is tender 

 and richly flavored; it is suitable for all purposes to vv'hich Damsons 

 are applied. — [Flo. S Pom.)

GlJlL 



Gweii— Gueh — Blue Magrnum Bonum — Big Blue — Bradshaw, incorrectly. 



This plum is said to have originated with a Mr. Hagaman, Lan- 

 singburgh, N. Y., about fifty years since; it was cultivated largely 

 by .lohn Goeway (Guii), and was generally called by this name, but 

 was not much disseminated until quite recently; it is now quite ex- 

 tensively grown for market, having proved to be one of the most 

 profitable for that purpose; tree hardy, a very strong, vigorous up- 

 right grower, spreading with age and bearing; an early and very 

 abundant bearer; branches smooth, light brown, grayish.
