Cyclopedia of American horticulture : comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening; Horticulture; Horticulture; Horticulture. 1448 PRUNUS leaved forms of the Plum. When the Plum runs wild it usually reverts to this form. Some of the Damsons (as the French, Shropshire, Parleigh) are commercial orchard varieties, being used for culinary purposes. There is much difference of opinion as to the systematic position of the P>um designated by Liun<eus as P. in- sititia, but it is clear that it is intermediate between P. domestica and P. spinosa. It is probably one stage in the reversion of the Plum towards P. spinosa. It seems to be indistinguishable from var. Damascena, when this variety is taken in its large sense. Other forms of Plums have received Latin class- names, as var. malittrmis, Linn. {P. Sijr'iaca, Dipp.), including the Mirabelle (a small-leaved form with small yellow fruit, not unlike the Damsons) and others; var. Cer^ola, Linn., the Green Gages or Reine Claudes; var.
