In France, this variety is generally known as the Reine Claude, having, it is said, been introduced into that country by Queen Claude, wife of Francis I. During the last century, an English family by the name of Gage, obtained a number of fruit trees from the monks of Charteuse, near Paris. Among them was a tree of this plum, which, having lost its name, was called by the gardener the Green Gage. It is pronounced, by Lindley, the best plum in England, and we must ad- mit that we have no superiour to it here. Fig. 106. OremQage,.
