LINCOLN. P. domestica. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Lincoln is well thought of for home use and the markets. The fruit is un- usually attractive in size and color, and for quality it may be named among the best of the red plums.

Leaves obovate, 2 inches wide, 4 inches long, stiff; petiole 1 inch long, pubescent, reddish, with 1-4 large, globose or reniform, yellow glands. Flowers over 1 inch across, white. Fruit early, season short; 2 by 1 % inches in size, oblong-oval, slightly necked, halves equal; cavity very shallow, narrow, abrupt; suture shallow ; apex depressed ; color light or dark red over a yellow ground, with thin bloom ; dots numerous, small, light russet; stem 1 inch long, parting readily from the fruit; skin thick, sour, separating readily; flesh greenish-yello
