Remarks. — American. Seedlings make good stoclcs for 

 budding. It reproduces itself from seed, like some peaches, 

 and is almost naturalized with us in our gardens; flesh, 

 greenish yellow. Eecommended by Buchanan, Ernst, and 

 "Warder for the neighborhood of Cincinnati. 



HULING'S SUPEEB (not Duane's Purple). Wood, 

 downy ; color, dull greenish yellow, with a pale bloom ; 

 form, round ovate ; size, 1 ; stone, adheres partly ; qual- 

 ity, 2; use, table; flavor, rich, brisk, excellent ; season, 

 July and August. 



Remarks. — A noble plum. It is as large as Washing- 

 ton. It is hardly inferior to the Green Gage. There is a 

 little more acidity in its sweetness than in the Green 

 Gage. It is very productive, and in all respects a very 

 valuable fruit. Recommended by Buchanan, Ernst and 

 Warder for the region about Cincinnati. Flesh is slightly 

 coarse-grained, but not enough to injure it much. 



JEFFERSON. Wood, nearly smooth ; color, greenish 

 yellow and golden yellow, red to sun ; form, ovate ; size, 

 1; stone, separates; quality, 2 ; use, table, flavor, juicy, 

 rich ; season. July. 



Remarks. — An American variety, from Judge Buel, 

 Alban}^ Very productive ; free from decay in a great 

 measure. Hangs long on the tree. It takes its position 

 very high on the list of plums. It is nearly equal, when 

 fully ripe, to the Green Gage. As large as the Washing- 

 ton ; it is about ten days later. It does not appear so 

 liable as some sorts to the attacks of wasps ; perhaps on 

 account of its dark color in comparison with other plums. 

 Recommended by Buchanan, Ernst and Warder for the 

 nciii^hborhood of Cincinnati.
