ORIGIN AND SPECIES OF NATIVE VARIETIES OF PLUMS AND OF 



HYBRIDS. 



EXPLANATION. 



The accompanying list of native varieties of plums and of hybrids 

 is designed to give information concerning the origin of a given variety 

 and the species to which it belongs. Of those varieties marked by an 

 asterisk (*) no material has been seen by the writer, and such varie- 

 ties have been referred to the species on the basis of other consid- 

 erations than a study of the material. It is believed, however, that 

 the disposition is reasonably correct and wherever there has been 

 doubt as to the correct disposition of a variety it is so indicated or 

 the name of the species is omitted entirely. 



Information concerning the origin of the varieties is based on the 

 statements given where the names were first published or on later 

 statements of the originator or introducer, and the citations are to be 

 found in Mr. U. P. Hedrick's recent work entitled "The Plums of 

 New York." For those varieties not included in that volume, or 

 where additional information has been found, a footnote refers to the 

 publication in which it appeared. In a few instances the information 

 has been secured by correspondence with the person from whom the 

 material was obtained. 



It has not been possible in all cases to secure material for study 

 from the originator, and in order that the reader may form his own 

 opinion regarding the authenticity of such material it is thought best 

 to give its source. This is referred to by the numeral immediately 

 following the name of the variety.
