Excerpt from The Horticulturist and Journal of Rural Art and Rural Taste, Vol. 1: Devoted to Horticulture, Landscape Gardening, Rural Architecture, Botany, Pomology, Entomology, Rural Economy, &C., July, 1846-June, 1847The Imperial Ottoman is a fruit of me diam size, oval, and regulary formed. The skin is of a pale, semi-pellucid greenish yellow, a good deal marbled. In general appearance, the fruit approaches, some what, the Imperial Gage, but the skin is thinner and more transparent. It hangs for some time upon the tree, and though borne in thick clusters, does not incline to rot like some of the finer plums. The stalk and leaves are rather downy, and the former is slightly inserted. The skin is covered with a delicate whitish bloom, and the ¿esh, when fully ripe, scarcely adheres to the stone.This plum is yet scarce in the nurseries, and we notice it here, in order to commend it to the attention that it really deserves. It is certainly among the best of the early varieties. The fruit raised in our garden last season, was pronounced by all who saw and tasted it, of very excellent quality.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
