Dame Aubert

[sketch of plum]

The Dame Aubert was imported from 
England.  It is a yellow plum of pretty good
size, larger at the Blossom than stalk end
where there is a hollow that continues  in a furrow
towards the stalk which is long. The flesh is rich and singularly
firm, though juicy, which makes it a fine
preserving fruit, it ripens in the latter end of 
August.  See No 35 Roche Corbon
which I believe to be the same plum.
