Niagara Plum
Niagara Plum is a historic fruit cultivar documented by the U.S. Department of Agriculture between 1886 and 1942. A watercolour study of it survives in the collection, with specimens recorded from Pennsylvania, Erie, North Springfield, painted by Heiges, Bertha. The paintings served as official botanical identification records before colour photography.
