to
Sept. 2

A blue Plum of the size and shape of the
green gaze. Rich, juicy & well flavored,
Imported from France, procured from Mr Ricketts
of Elizabeth Town who esteemed it the finest
plum he knew.  It is certainly a very fine plum
remarkably juicy and sprightly - a fine growing
tree, a great bearer and arrives at perfect maturity
in an open Garden.
