northern exposure, so as to escape injury from the late spring frosts.

only a distinct variety. It is subject to the attacks of curculio; and the same treatment 
is recommended as is necessary to secure the plum in perfection. They are budded on 
the peach stock, and sold at the age of one year, being then from three to four feet in
