2    Elfreys Plum

August

A very fine natural blue Plum, of 
uncommon richness and flavor, very
much admired.  It is of midling size
or rather less, of an oblong shape
subject to split open on one side when
fully ripe, which appears to increase <s>then</s> its
richness, very melting and juicy 
ripens in August. From S. Cole.
This is one of the most admired plums in
our Country, Rich, sweet, tender, melting &  full of juice
a great & constant bearer. A clear stone
