PLUMS. 553 



Grosse Heine Claude, " this plum is confounded by most people in England by the 

 name of Green Gage." i r r a j 



We have seen, therefore, that the generally-received opinion that this valuable 

 plum was first introduced to this country by the Gage family is incorrect, but that 

 It must have existed for considerably upwards of a century, at least, before the 

 period which is generally given as the date of its introduction.
