Roche Corbon

[sketch of plum]

This Plum was imported as the Roche Corbon
from England.  It is a handsome yellow plum with
some few spots of Red. Stalk pretty long, form rather
smaller at the Stalk than blossom end, where it is
somewhat flat.  It is a fine juicy rich high flavored
firm plum. ripens about the end of August &
very much resembles the Dame Aubert so called
See No 55. I suspect they are the same kind of plum.
