When Properly stewed and flavored with the fruit of the aile-tree, it makes a delicious deli-cious condiment, and is also good for I bone felons. In the same letter he de nies that sugar plums can be successfully success-fully grafted on the Mespilus or Japan plum. "The sugar plum," he says, "is the natural fruit of the sugarcane. While visiting the South, I often saw colored children gathering them from the parent stalk, already done up in fancy paper and blue ribbons." |
