Mooreman i . 



Moreman is the hardiest of the Hortulana plums and possibly worthy 

 of keeping before plum-growers for this reason. Its fruit-characters are 

 not as satisfactory as those of several other varieties of its species. Dr. 

 Wayland of Cadiz, Kentucky, according to T. V. Munson, grew a lot of 

 seedlings from pits of wild plums found in his vicinity and either from 

 this lot or from a seedling from them, came the Moreman. The variety 

 was introduced by W. F. Heikes in 1881. It was listed in the catalog of 

 the American Pomological Society in 1899. The following description is 

 compiled. 



Tree vigorous, spreading, hardy, productive ; leaves of medium size, coarsely serrate ; 

 petiole usually glandless. Fruit late; small, roundish, bright red, bloomless; stem long, 

 slender; dots numerous, yellow; flesh firm, yellow, pleasant in flavor; quality fair; stone 

 small, roundish, clinging.
