appears that Turkey was a large blue plum of the German Prune type but
the variety has either long since been buried under the hosts of new
sorts that have been developed or a new name has been given it.

from that country. Downing distinguished it from the common Damson by its
extreme lateness. Tree medium in size; fruit roundish, small; suture a

bears a small, purplish-black, Damson-like fruit, long-oval in form,

BIBLIOGRAPHY AND REFERENCES, WITH ABBREVIATIONS USED.
In this list it is hoped that there will be found all horticultural books
in America dealing with the plum. No attempt has been made to include
botanical works. Only such European books are recorded as were found
useful in preparing the volume. All the agricultural and horticultural
periodicals to which references are to be found in the preceding pages
are given, but no more. The reports and bulletins of experiment stations
and horticultural societies are not included since the abbreviations
used for such publications are readily recognized. The date of copyright
has been preferred to that of publication though sometimes it has been
necessary to use the latter, as when there were several editions from the
same copyright.
