 fig. 5. Miller, No. 9- 



Perdrigon Blanc. Duhamel, No. 30. t. 8. 



Branches downy. Fruit middle-sized, somewhat 

 oblong, enlarged towards the apex and tapering a little 

 towards the stalk ; about one inch and a quarter long, 

 and the same in diameter. Stalk three quarters of an 

 inch long. Skin pale yellow, full of small white specks, 

 with a few red spots on 'the sunny side, and covered 

 with a thin white bloom. Flesh pale yellow, separating 

 clean from the stone. Juice rich and saccharine. Stone 

 small, lanceolate. 



Ripe the beginning of September. 



This, as well as the other Perdrigons, is too tender 

 to bear in this' country as an open standard, or even 

 in espalier ; it should be planted against an east or 

 south-east wall : on these aspects all the September 

 plums ripen better than on any other, and are more 

 certain in their produce.
