PLUMS. 



But few varieties of plums fruited this season. This no doubt was largely due to the 

 cold, wet weather and frost already referred to during the blooming period. But the 

 crop was further shortened by the attack of curculios, which were unusually numerous 

 and persistent. Lombard was the most productive variety in fruiting and the only kind 

 which bore a full crop.
