Grand Duke. Purple. Late September. Bulletin No. 131, sent out by the Cornell Uni- versity Experiment Station, Ithaca, New York, 5 ays: Originated and sent out in England by Mr. Thomas Rivers who has furnished to the world three of the largest and most beautiful late Plums of recent introduction. A very large purple Plum, so attractive in its appearance as to be a fine market sort, and apparently well adapted for general cultivation over a wide area. The tree is not a strong grower, and does not come into bearing early, a fact that is generally to be regretted. Guii. Dark. First to middle of September. Fruit very large, deep bluish purple, covered with thick bloom. Flesh yellowish green, sweet and pleasant. Tree a great and very young bearer, hardy and a strong, rapid grower ; gen- erally regarded as of great value for market by the Plum growers along the Hudson river. Or- igin, Lansingburg, N. Y.
