“Ehe  RURAL  NEW-YORKER 
Commercial  Fruit  Culture 
Damson  Plums 
In  the  bulletins  issued  by  the  Chicago 
commission  linns,  there  has  been  quoted 
a  plum  called.  “Blue  Damson.**  This 
plum  has  been  sold  at  higher  prices  than 
the  “Shropshire  Damson"  and  seems  to 
be  a  desirable  sort  for  commercial  pur¬ 
poses.  I  am  unable  to  find  a  “Blue  Dam¬ 
son”  listed  in  the  nurserymen's  cata¬ 
logues.  and  Mr.  Waugh  makes  no  men¬ 
tion  of  such  a  sort  in  his  book.  I  would 
like  to  hear  from  some  of  your  plum  au¬ 
thorities  on  this  score.  u.  TENNANT. 
Michigan. 
“Blue  Damson"  is  a  class  name,  gen¬ 
erally  applied  to  Damson  plums  from 
seed.  The  Chicago  market  is  the  only 
market  that  I  know  of  in  which  fruit 
sellers  so  distinguish  these  seedling  Dam¬ 
sons.  I  have  several  times  seen  on  South 
Water  Street  the  common  Shropshire 
Damson  sold  as  Blue  Damson.  Such  a 
loose  use  of  the  name  of  a  fruit  is  to  be 
deplored.  One  might  as  well  sell  “red 
apples’’  or  “yellow  peaches.” 
Plums  from  the  Old  World  are  divided 
into  two  great  groups — the  Domesticas, 
to  which  belong  the  large-fruited  plums 
of  our  orchards,  and  the  Damsons  of  this 
discussion.  The  history  of  the  Damson 
group  goes  back  600  years  B.  O the 
name  coming  from  Damascus,  supposed 
to  be  the  oldest  city  in  the  world,  in  the 
region  of  which  these  Damson  or  Damask 
plums  originated.  Though  cultivated  for 
2.500  years,  there  is  seemingly  little  dif¬ 
ference  between  varieties  described  by 
the  Greeks  and  Romans  at  the  beginning 
of  the  Christinu  era  and  those  we  are 
mov  growing.  So,  too.  one  often  finds 
half-wild  chance  seedlings  of  fruits  in- 
distinguished  from  varieties  Under  the 
highest  cultivation. 
The  Damsons,  in  my  opinion,  are  much 
neglected.  In  productiveness,  vigor  of 
trees  and  hardiness  the  several  varieties 
of  Damsons  surpass  all  other  European 
plums,  and  while  their  fruits  are  smaller 
and  more  astringent  tllan  those  of  other 
commonly  cultivated  plums,  the  Damsons 
are  not  surpassed  for  the  chief  use  to 
which  they  are  put — the  making  of  pre¬ 
serves.  Damsons,  too,  are  wonderfully 
well  adapted  to  various  soils  and  cli¬ 
mates.  In  commercial  orchards  the 
Shropshire  Damson  is  more  largely 
grown  than  any  other,  but  the  French 
Dantson,  where  the  two  are  being  grown 
side  by  side,  is  the  superior. 
The  merits  of  the  French  are  that  the 
trees  are  larger  and  more  productive 
than  those  rtf  other  Damsons;  the  fruits, 
too.  are  larger,  handsomer  in  appearance, 
may  be  eaten  out  of  hand  with  relish 
when  fully  ripe,  and  the  stupe  is  usually 
free  from  the  flesll.  The  trees  are  very 
hardy,  fruitful,  and  carry  their  foliage 
and  fruit  well.  The  season  is  a  week 
or  two  later  than  that  of  the  Shropshire 
which  is  an  advantage.  Probably  the 
French  is  a  byhrid  between  Shropshire 
and  some  Domestica  plum. 
Mirabelle  is  another  of  these  Damson¬ 
like  plums  that  might  well  be  planted 
more  generally — indeed,  so  far  as  1  know 
it  is  seldom  planted  in  America.  In  Eu¬ 
rope,  especially  iu  France,  it  is  one  of 
the  favorite  plums.  On  the  Continent, 
wherever  plums  are  grown,  it  is  in  great 
demand  for  canning,  preserving,  com¬ 
potes,  tarts  and  prunes.  The  trees  of 
this  variety  produce  fine  crops  of  fruit 
and  probably  will  grow  well  wherever 
Damsons  are  grown.  The  plums  are 
small,  nearly  round,  yellow  in  color,  with 
a  sweet,  pleasant  flavor  well  fitting  them 
for  culinary  purposes.  The  trees  are 
small  but  so  vigorous,  hardy  and  healthy 
that  in  Europe  they  are  commonly  used 
for  stocks.  Mirabelle,  like  most  of  the 
Damsons,  may  be  produced  from  seed 
with  but  few  variations. 
The  writer  conceives  that  the  demand 
for  these  Damson  plums  is  not  well  met 
in  cities  and  towns  all  over  the  United 
States.  It  is  to  be  doubted  whether 
large  orchards  of  any  of  the  Damsons 
would  prove  profitable,  but  a  few  dozen 
trees  ought  to  be  a  valuable  adjunct  to 
any  orchard  in  regions  where  plums  can 
be  grown.  Growers  would  have  little 
difficulty  in  working  up  a  splendid  trade 
in  local  markets  for  these  delectable  and 
refreshing  culinary  plums.

Opalescent  Apples  for  Massachusetts 
I  was  especially  interested  in  the  ar¬ 
ticles  recently  printed  in  regard  to  the 
Opalescent  apple.  I  have  had  some  ex¬ 
perience  with  it,  and  as  a  result  am 
planting  this  year  175  trees  of  this  va¬ 
riety.  About  10  years  ago  I  bad  two 
trees  from  which  I  took  scions  when  I 
planted  them,  grafting  into  young  Boi- 
ken  trees,  and  finished  grafting  the  trees 
from  the  growth  of  that  season,  the  next 
Spring.  They  have  borne  fruit  a  num¬ 
ber  of  years,  and  proved  so  promising  | 
that  I  tried  last  year  to  get  trees  and 
again  last  Fall,  and  finally  secured  them 
this  Winter.  I  believe  that  with  us  the 
Gravenstein,  McIntosh  Opalescent  and 
Baldwin  will  make  up  a  quartette  of  our 
best  all-round  commercial  apples,  and 
that  in  some  points  the  Opalescent  loads 
and  equals  in  nearly  all  others.  It  is 
the  largest,  the  most  beautiful,  the  heav¬ 
iest  (a  point  which  retailers  will  appre¬ 
ciate)  as  perfect  shape  as  the  Mack,  very 
hard,  good  quality,  a  regular  bearer,  bears 
along  the  limbs,  and  colors  and  sizes  up 
early  and  lutnys  on  late.  This  last  is  one 
of  its  best  points  as  it  makes  a  long  har¬ 
vest  season.  I  often  picked  them  before 
the  middle  of  September,  at  which  time 
they  were  nicely  colored  and  nearly 
grown.  Baldwins  being  still  too  small  and 
no  color  to  pick  and  Opalescent  will  bang 
till  late  October.  In  comparison  for  sell¬ 
ing,  the  Opalescent  brought  $1.50  per  box, 
when  Gravenstein  would  bring  only  $1  for 
best  and  San  Jacinto  (about  the  hand¬ 
somest  apple  grown)  brought  $1.15  on 
the  Boston  commission  market.  That 
the  Opalescent  does  so  well  here,  may 
not  prove  it  so  in  other  sections,  and  if 
not  tried  out  in  your  vicinity,  it  might 
be  well  to  try  a  few  grafts  before  plant¬ 
ing  to  any  extent.  E.  R.  T.

New  York  Flower  Show 
The  great  international  exhibition  held 
in  the  Grand  Central  Palace,  New  York, 
April  5-12,  by  the  New  York  Florists’ 
Club  and  the  New  York  Horticultural 
Society,  was  generally  described  as  the 
“million-dollar  flower  show.”  So  valu¬ 
able  were  the  exhibits  and  so  profuse  the 
display,  that  it  is  quite  likely  this  esti¬ 
mate  of  value  was  not  far  from  the  truth. 
The  exhibits  included  a  profusion  of 
forced  Spring-blooming  shrubs,  bulbs, 
foliage  and  decorative  plants,  blooming 
roses,  lilies  orchids  and  ferns,  and  a 
great  array  of  cut  flowers,  renewed  from 
day  to  day.  Last  year  the  most  notable 
plant  in  the  show  was  a  seedling  orchid 
named  after  the  Queen  of  Belgium,  which 
was  sold  at  auction  for  $1000.  the  pro¬ 
ceeds  being  given  to  the  Belgian  relict 
fund.  This  season  the  same  grower, 
Clement  Moore  of  New  Jersey,  exhibited 
another  seedling  orchid  named  Princess 
Patricia,  which  was  auctioned  for  the 
benefit  of  the  Red  Cross  funds  on  Can¬ 
adian  Day.  The  orchid  classes  were  pro¬ 
fusely  filled  by  both  amateur  and  profes¬ 
sional  growers,  the  displays  including 
many  fine  Cattleyas.  OdontogloSsuins  and 
Cypripediums.  Small  than  the  Cattleyas, 
but  one  of  the  showiest  of  orchids,  is 
Sophronitis  grandiflora,  its  long-lasting 
blooms  being  vivid  scarlet.  Great  inter¬ 
est  was  shown  iu  the  East  Indian  pitch¬ 
er  plants,  their  pendent  pitchers  on  the 
tips  of  the  leaves  containing  a  liquid  that 
allures  insects  to  untimely  death. 
Spring  bulbs,  rock  plants  and  roses 
were  especially  instructive,  to  amateur 
gardeners.  The  rose  display  included  a 
great  many  forced  climbing  roses,  and 
there  was  a  rose'  garden  laid  out  in  land¬ 
scape  style.  Among  the  bulbs  masses  of 
white  grape  hyacinths  were  especially 
pretty.  Rhododendrons.  Azaleas,  and 
great  bushes  of  Cineraria  made  a  won¬ 
derful  mass  of  color  in  the  main  hall. 
It  was  encouraging  to  see  the  great 
crowds  attending  this  show  and  that  of 
last  Spring  after  many  former  years  of 
public  indifference  to  such  exhibitions. 
The  national  flower  show  held  in  Phila¬ 
delphia  the  previous  week  was  attended 
by  over  90,000  visitors,  and  the  attend¬ 
ance  at  the  New  York  show  might  be 
expected  to  exceed  this  number.
