Excellent, very handsome, early in August, a splendid 

 garden fruit ; succeeds as a Standard, and bears well 

 in certain localities when the trees gain age. 



A profuse bearer ; for cooking or bottling. 



Very large, good bearer, and a sturdy grower. When 

 plums failed in 1887, this bore well and sold for 

 25/0 per bushel. Forms a spreading tree, is enor- 

 mous from a wall; valuable for late market or 

 garden culture. 



New, a grand late juicy fruit. 5/0 to 7/6. 



On a wall this kind hangs very late, and attains 4f in. ; 

 brisk acid flavour, good kitchen plum. 



In consequence of its liability to die suddenly, we 

 left this out of stock, but as market growers insist 

 on having it, we have again propagated it. A sweet 

 rich garden fruit, bearing profusely even in Scot- 

 land. 



Very delicious and handsome, becomes a perfect sweet- 

 meat when shrivelled ; a garden plum, fine for pot 

 culture or walls, and fruits fairly well when root 

 pruned as a Pyramid. 



A highly prized late sweet Gage, extending the 

 season of its class ; rich flavour. 



Rich juicy dessert plum, excellent for garden culture. 

 See note under Green Gage. 



Same as Victoria. Enormous stock in hand. 



A useful very early yellow sort for tarts 



A local Worcester sort, not yet proved here. Free 

 grower and good bearer. 



Slender grower, bearing profusely. Earlier than 

 Prolific and sweeter. Garden trees only. 



Very large, deep red, an improvement on Prince of 

 Wales; strong grower, bearing regularly, and ex- 

 cellent in flavour. F.C., R.H.S. 



A productive new sort. 5/0 to 7/6. 



As early as New Orleans, a good constant cropper, 

 fruiting in clusters, does not crack ; an upright 

 sturdy grower ; a great addition to market plums ; 

 very highly recommended. It is also valuable as 

 a garden Pyramid or wall tree, and when fully 

 ripe becomes sweet and refreshing; a capital kitchen 

 plum. 



Grows awkwardly, but is of surpassing richness ; 

 valuable for pots or on walls. 



Rich, juicy, and excellent, one of the finest early 

 dessert garden plums. F.C., R.H.S. 



Rivers' new seedling, » capital cropper of very fine 

 flavour, and valuable ; extending the season of the 

 Gages ; succeeds as an open Standard. F.C., R.H.S. 



Great bearer, the most prolific kind grown. No sort 

 sells better in market, valuable for all purposes, at 

 home in the cottage, orchard, or nobleman's well- 

 cared-for garden; frequently crops when most 

 others fail. 



Large and handsome ; open trees do not bear till they 

 gain size ; fine on the wall, as a Pot tree or pruned 

 Pyramid. 



Very useful late kind, hanging till November ; rich and 

 delicious cooked, and a hardy variety of moderate 

 growth ; valuable for late market sale. 



Those marked t are grown extensively and recommended as cropping Market Plums; 

 remainder as Garden Trees.
