Of all the Plums of any modern origin, this and 

 the Washington, already figured in this work, are 

 not only by far the best, but perhaps superior 

 to any of the oldest varieties. This was raised by 

 a gardener of the name of Coe, at Bury St. Ed- 

 munds, in Suffolk, about twenty years since; but 

 from the stone of what variety is not known. 

 It is very handsome, ripens about the end of Sep- 

 tember, and will shrivel and keep in a good state 

 for more than a month later ; indeed, if properly 

 dried, it will keep as well as the best Imperatrice 

 Plums. 



It is a great bearer ; but should be trained upon 

 a west or east wall to ensure a crop. 



Wood smooth, deep purplish brown, with a few 

 paler spots. 



Leaves oval, flat, taper -pointed, crenated, 

 smooth, rather shining above. Petioles short, 

 slightly pubescent, with two globose glands near 

 the base of the leaf.
