 specimens grown by Luther Burbank. It has no practical 

 value. 



WHITE DAMSON. Fruit oval; size medium; cavity very 

 shallow ; suture none ; color yellowish, like a ripe Bavay ; dots 

 fine, darker colored ; bloom white ; flesh greenish ; stone cling ; 

 quality good, season late. 



This plum is really not white, but has the color of the 

 Green Gage type. The foliage, however, seems to be of the 

 Damson sort.
