4   French Green - Plum

1808
Aug. 15.

This is a greenish yellow plum, of the
size of a blue Holland Plum of an oblong
form, very tender flesh and <s>illegible</s> in a good season high
flavored & juicy when fully ripe. It is
<s>illegible</s> a very great and constant bearer,
and therefore very valuable.  It makes a 
pretty good preserve.  The original tree came
from the stone of a french plum, and
stands in the Garden of Joshua M Wallace
Esq. ~ When fully ripe the skin next the Sun becomes of
a darker blue approaching to a <s>illegible</s> dull
red.
