dark purple, covered with a light bluish bloom ; 

 the flesh yellowish green, firm, rich, and sweet.

 tree a long time, and is in use in October and 

 November. M. 



[This variety bears greatly upon small trees.] 



COB'S Golden Drop. This beautiful new 

 plum is of large size ; the form is oval, with un- 

 equal sides ; the skin a golden yellow, spotted 

 with rich red points and small blotches, on the 

 sunny side ; the flesh yellow, sweet, and delicious. 

 A clingstone an abundant bearer. Ripening 

 gradually in September, October, and November. 

 Of all the late plums this is decidedly the best 

 and the most profitable which can be culti- 

 vated. M.

 fruit. The tree makes a great growth when worked upon 

 the peach root.] 



Cruger's Scarlet Gage. This showy scarlet 

 plum, of the size of the green gage, and a great 

 bearer, originated near Newburgh, N. Y. ; flesh 

 yellow, sweet, and of good flavor, ripening from 

 September to October, and is less liable to drop 

 from the tree than any other in our collection. 



Roe's Autumn Gage. This plum we received 

 from A. J. Downing & Co., Newburgh, N. Y. 

 It is a fine, late fruit, coming into eating just 

 after the above variety ; the form oblong, color 

 orange yellow, good size, and great bearer; fla- 

 vor sweet and rich, ripening in October. We 

 prefer this to any late variety in our collection.
