** Coe^s Golden Drop Plum. The merit 

 of this new variety of plum as a fruit 

 for the desert during winter, is a 

 fact with which the public are not 

 sufficiently w^ell acquainted. Having sus- 

 pended by their stalks in a dry room some 

 fruit of this variety, which had ripened 

 on a west wall in October, in the year 

 1808, it remained perfectly sound till the 

 middle of December, when it wasthoaght 

 by my guests and myself to be not at all 

 inferior either in richness or flavour to the 

 Green Gage, or Drap d'or Plum. I am 

 informed by Mr. Whitley, of Old Bromp- 

 ton, from whom 1 received it, that it bears 

 well on standard trees.*' — See Mr. Knight^
