PLUMS. 



Some of the plum trees are making strong and many only fair growth. They have 

 BO far fruited but little. 



The plant louse which affects the plum, Aphis prunifolii, has been very troublesome, 

 and the vigorous use of tobacco water is found to be the best remedy. The use of 

 kerosene emulsion is also effecti\e ; but great care is necessary as the foliage is apt to be 

 injured if the mixture is improperly made.
