Among all the numerous varieties of plums that have been producedby American cultivators, the McLaughlin must claim the most prominentplace. It is not as large as the Washington, or as beautiful as theJefferson, but in its rich and luscious flavor it surpasses either of them,and comes nearer to that standard of excellence among plums,—theGreen Gage,—than any other variety; in the opinion of many, beingquite equal to it, and in some respects a more valuable one for generalcultivation. The Green Gage is at the best but an indifferent growingtree, very irregular in its habit, hardly, indeed, more than a shrub, andon this account is objected to by many who hke fine standard McLaughlin is as vigorous as the Washington; the fruit is largerthan the Green Gage, and it does not appear to be so likel
