Having thus described and illustrated my new variety of plum tree, I claim: 1. A new and distinct variety of plum tree substantially as illustrated and described which is most closely similar in tree and fruit characteristics to the Laroda Plum Tree (unpatented), and from which it is distinguished by bearing fruit which ripens approximately 7 to 10 days before the fruit of the Laroda Plum Tree, and which is further distinguished from the Laroda Plum Tree by being somewhat larger on the average, more richly colored, and milder and less acidic in flavor.
