Bradshaw, of same color, and ripening latter part of

Plums for market. 
“SARATOGA PLUM. 
/ A few years ago our attention was called to the 
j Saratoga Plum, originating near Saratoga Springs, 
the most fashionable resort in America. We saw the 
trees growing. They were exceedingly vigorous, with 
large handsome leaves, glossy and deep, bright green. 
It is evidently a tree that will endure much rough 
treatment (though such should never be given any 
tree), and yet succeed nobly where others possessing 
less vigor would utterly fail. The fruit is of immense 
size, the largest Plum we have seen, of a bright red- 
dish purple, covered with a rich bloom. It shape is 
peculiar, not elongated, but roundish, and almost 
pear-shaped. It will prove a good shipper beyond 
doubt. Its large size, great beauty, fine quality and 
productiveness have attracted great attention. Color 
reddish purple, overspread with a handsome bloom. 
In shape a cross between Lombard and Bradshaw. 
Tree very vigorous. A decided acquisition to the list 
of Plums. August.
