This plum, representing a type hardly known in America, may be a
descendant of a species distinct from _Prunus domestica_, and if not,
must at least be considered a well-marked division of the species named.
It differs but little from typical Domestica varieties in habit of growth
but the leaves are smaller, distinctly folded, and droop, giving an
aspect to the tree distinct from the Domesticas in general. But it is
the fruit that differs most. Fruit and stone are more elongated than in
other varieties of its supposed species and the stone is larger, flatter,
more pitted and more pointed at the base and apex. The stem, too, is
longer than in the average Domestica. These differences in leaf, fruit
and pit may be well seen if the color-plate of this variety be compared
with those of well-recognized Domesticas. It is doubtful if Hungarian is
worth cultivating in New York though it is larger than the commonly grown
German Prune, with which it must be compared, and is fully equal if not
better in quality but its type is unknown and consumers hesitate to buy
the unknown. It is well worth a place in private collections.
