on a south wall, but that exposure is found too hot, 

 the fruit becoming smaller, with many black specks. 

 There is no doubt that it will bear abundantly as a 

 standard. 



Wood long-jointed, rather slender, pale brown 

 on a wall, but darker on a standard ; when young, 

 very slightly pubescent. Buds prominent. 



Leaves oblong, very large and shining, with a 

 luxuriant appearance quite unknown in other Plums. 



Flowers very large, white. 



Fruit, from a wall. If inches long by Ifths of 

 an inch wide, regularly oval, with a very obscure 

 suture, except just at the stalk, where it is rather 

 deep. Stalk inserted in a shallow cavity, fths 

 of an inch long, slightly pubescent. Before being 

 cut, agreeably perfumed like a Green Gage of the 

 best quality. Skix dull yellow, broken a little 

 with green, assuming an orange cast on the sunny 

 side, with a purplish bloom, and more or less 

 mottled with crimson dots. Flesh yellow, firm, 

 very sweet and luscious, separating freely from the 

 stone. Stone oval, acute at each end, wrinkled 

 all over, and nearly even at the edges.
