Sonic of the choicest v.arietios of Plums rival the most delicious of dessert 

 fruits in flavour, and it is a little to be regretted that collections of them 

 Etro not oftener seen. There are hundreds of gardens in which the only 

 Plum represented is Victoria. This is admittedly one of the grandest hardy 

 fruits grown, but I cannot allow that it is good enough to represent the 

 whole class, inasmuch as it is only suitable for cooking. Of course, it is 

 erten raw, but not by those people who liave access to choice sorts. It 

 will be well to set the Plums before us in tw-o sections.
