THE LATE SHIPPER 



This is a cross between the Chinese 

 apricot plum and a Japanese plum. 

 The Chinese parentage is shown in the 

 short, thick, applelike stem, clinging 

 to the fruit, and yellowish flesh. The 

 influence of the Japanese parent is 

 shown in the form of the fruit and in 

 the stone, which inclines very strongly 

 to the Japanese type. (Natural size.)
