Red Diaper is of historical value only, as it is now rarely found. It 

 does not seem to have been known as long as Violet Diaper and may be 

 an off-shoot of the older variety. It probably originated in France, one 

 of its synonyms, Roche Corbon, having been derived from a small village 

 near Tours. The Mimms plum said to have been raised from a stone of 

 the Blue Perdrigon about 1800 by Henry Browne, North Mimms Place, 

 Hertfordshire, England, and the Imperial Diadem said to be a seedling 

 of about the same date raised at Duckenfield, near Manchester, England, 

 are identical with Red Diaper in spite of their supposed separate origin. 

 The Chypre, or Prune de Chypre, thought by some to be a synonym of 

 this variety, is undoubtedly distinct, as it is a clingstone and is earlier. 

 The following description is compiled. 



Tree of slow growth in the nursery, hardy, vigorous and productive in the orchard. 

 Fruit mid-season; large, obovate; cavity slight; stem one-half inch in length; skin 

 brownish-red; bloom thin; dots very numerous, brownish, conspicuous; flesh greenish- 

 yellow, firm, fine-grained, sweet; good; stone small, free.
