7             Coopers large Plum

1803
Aug 15

A very large Plum of fine flavor and great beauty
produced from a Stone of an Orleans plum.  The color
first becomes red from the green State turning, when
fully ripe to a blue.  The tree is singularly vigorous
and attains to a great size,  It is very productive
of fruit, which in dry Seasons and as the tree advances
in age is very fine both for the Table and preserves.
Ripens from the middle to the end of August. A clear stone
when take green before it begins to turn it is a very fine
preserving plum
