Wondering if anyone knows of any sources in the states - either nursery 
trees or scionwood of the following hard to find plums. . . or if you 
have trialed any of these and how they performed.  I believe these were 
all trialed in Canada, though some have origins in the US.  Emerald and 
Omaha I believe were also trialed in MN in the early 1900s.  I'm 
especially interested in the first three hybrids.

hybrids:
Elliot - U of MN release in 1920
Emerald - Nebraska origin circa 1900
Omaha - sister of Emerald circa 1900

european (p. domestica)
levis
l'islet
reine claude de montmorency - imported to Cananda in late 1700's
victoria (not 'victory') - old english (i think) variety

other:
grosse bleue?
