Of all the Plums of any modern origin, this and
the Washington, already figured in this work, are
not only by far the best, but perhaps superior
to any of the oldest varieties. This was raised by
a gardener of the name of Coe, at Bury St. E d munds,
in Sufiblk, about twenty years since ; but
from the stone of what variety is not known.
I t is very handsome, ripens about the end of Sép-
tember, and will shrivel and keep in a good state
for more than a month later ; indeed, if properly
dried, it will keep as well as the best Imperatrice
Plums.
I t is a great bearer ; but should be trained upon
a west or east wall to ensure a crop.
Wood smooth, deep purplish brown, with a few
paler spots.
L e a v e s oval, flat, taper-pointed, crenated,
smooth, rather shining above. P e t i o l e s short,
slightly pubescent, with two globose glands near
the base of the leaf.
