NOTES ON PLUM CULTURE. 
39 
pubescent, glandular. Fruit small, round, dark purplish-red, 
bloom rather thick, stem of medium length, stout; skin 
thick; flesh of fair quality; stone semi-cling, oval, strongly 
convex on the sides, sharp on the edge but not margined. 
Ripe September ii. Tree productive, but fruit too small to 
be ranked as valuable. 
K ICK APOO. {Prunus Ainevicana) 
Planted in 1804. Not yet fruited. Trees of slow growth 
and straggling habit. Leaves large, broadly lanceolate, 
sharply and irregularly serrate, stalks glandular. 
K O P P. {Priuius Americana .) 
Trees of good form and fair vigor, producing some 
drooping branches. Leaves large, dark green, sharply ser- 
rate; stalks red, pubescent, mostly glandless. Fruit medium 
to small, round, deep red, shading into the green ground, 
this mottled with white dots; skin thick; flesh firm, of good 
sub-acid flavor, sweet when fully ripe; stone nearly free, ob-. 
long, pointed, strongly convex, smooth. Ripe September 
I. A productive variety. 
LA.TE ROLLINGSTONE. {Priinus Americana.) 
Trees of moderate vigor, forming round compact heads. 
Leaves of medium size, obovate-oblong, short acuminate, 
irregularly and unequally crenate; young shoots red, smooth, 
shining; stalks glandular, pubescent. Fruit medium in size, 
round, flattened at both ends, deep red, shading into light 
red; stem of medium length; skin thick; flesh firm, of excel- 
lent quality. Stone cling, broad-oval, sides moderately con- 
vex, smooth. Ripe September u. Not to be distinguished 
from Rollingstone. Even in time of ripening there appears 
to be no difference here. 
LE DUG. {Pritnus Amei'icamt.) 
The trees planted in 1894. are still rather small, but 
stocky and well-formed; they fruited heavily in 1897. This 
year they bloomed full, but matured a very light crop. 
Leaves large, light green, sharply serrate; stalks glandular.
