 mot's Early 



Great bearer ; a fine local market plum. The trees 

 grow large and sturdy, and do not break down with 

 a heavy crop. A fine hardy sort. In 1890-97, when 

 plums failed, this kind produced a good crop. 



Juiey and rich ; fine dessert fruit ; large, valuable 

 garden plum ; first-rate on wall or orchard house, 

 and occasionally cropping freely as a Standard tree. 



One of the most valuable ; will hang on the wall for a 

 long time ; too delicate for Standard, except in some 

 places, where it proves a lucrative market sort for 

 late crop. See Fig. 26. 



Very finely flavoured fruit ; like Golden Drop, with a 

 purple line on suture. F.C., R.H.S. 



A delicious late dessert kind ; bearing freely ; new ; 

 highly recommended. P.O., R.H.S. 



Good bearer and a strong grower, large and productive. 

 ^ Orleans style ; good sweet fruit. 

 I A very useful market plum ; splendid cooked or for 



jam ; succeeds The Czar. 

 JjEarly, rich gage flavour ; a success in all forms ; most 



-i prolific constant bearer, very early on a wall. 



A valuable kind, of free growth ; succeeding the 

 Orleans ; a good bearer, sweet, fine on a wall. 



Hardy, and a certain bearer ; very valuable market 

 sort ; our earliest, ripens middle of July on a wall, 

 and when fully ripe is good for dessert, and one of 

 the best flavoured when cooked ; 35,000 in stock. 



A market variety, similar to Pershore ; a strong stout 

 grower, bearing profusely. 



Pine clear yellow ; good flavour, handsome. 



A richly flavoured very late handsomely coloured 

 kind ; new. Dwarfs, 2/6. P.O., R.H.S. 



Late ; one of the best for cooking ; bears freely, but 

 liable to get frosted on Orchard trees. Garden 

 trees only. 



Well known to be the very best and richest of all. In 

 common with all the Gages (or Reine Claudes of 

 Erance) this race requires vigorous root pruning, 

 and then bears freely ; as Pot Trees they succeed in 

 an Orchard House, but as Standards they are not 

 satisfactory, the birds taking the best buds in winter. 



Very rich round Gage, 2/6. 



A new early variety, which crops freely; valuable 

 culinary or market plum, succeeding Prolific. 



Excellent, keeps well ; requires a wall, and will hang 

 very late. 



One of the largest and finest dessert plums known for 

 wall or garden culture, succeeding as a Standard, 

 and very fertile as a Pyramidal tree ; rich flavour. 



A very rich dessert plum, with handsome bloom ; the 

 tree is a shy bearer, and well repays careful root 

 pruning. Garden culture only. 



Very richly flavoured ; free bearer ; distinct and good. 

 Garden Trees only. 



A valuable new late golden kind, of rich flavour. 5/0 

 to 7/6. 



Useful old garden sort ; bears sparingly. 



A good kitchen fruit, fair for late dessert use ; very 

 handsome and valuable for preserving ; fruit from a 

 wall carries plenty of bloom ; a profitable market sort. 



A late variety of robust growth, and a capital bearer ; 

 the fruit does not crack with wet ; a very fine new 

 sort, highly recommended as one of the grandest 

 novelties lately introduced. A lucrative market 

 sort ; large stock. P.O., R.H.S. 



A very useful market sort, valuable for its earliness ; 

 when fully ripe a good table plum. Best on stony 

 soils, and should not be planted in damp situations ; 

 liable to frost.
