Wild Goose Plum. Washington. (Bo/mar's.) Very large ; skin yellowish green, often with a pale red blush ; flesh yellowish, firm, very sweet and luscious, separating freely from the stone. There is perhaps, not another plum that stands so high in general estimation in this country as the Washington. Its great size, its beauty and the vigor and hardiness of the tree are qualities which claim for it a place in every good collection. August. Wild Goose. Medium size; oblong; bright vermilion red : juicy, sweet, of good quality; cling ; productive, and nearly proof against the curculio. The most profitable variety for market in the South, and deserves more extensive planting there, as well as in the Middle states. July. Weaver. From Iowa; popular at the West because of its ability to withstand the extremely severe winters, when the fine sorts fail ; fruit rather large, purple, with a blue bloom; quality good ; tree a vigorous grower and very productive. August.
