NOTES ON THE ROCKFORD PLUM. 



The following extract from a letter written by R. E. Hynson, 

 of Mankato, Minnesota, will be interesting- to plum growers in this 

 region. He writes, "The Rockford plum stands at the head of all 

 plums in Mankato. I got one dollar and twenty cents a bushel 

 when other plums were a drug on the market at fifty cents a bushel. 

 I had lots of orders for the Rockford that I could not fill. I want 

 to mention that they came through the winter clear to the tip of the 

 branches. They were larger and better this year than last year. 

 Last fall I hauled out one-year old manure from the cow barn. I 

 used a common road scraper and put one scraperful at every tree, 

 on the southwest side. I believe if a man would do that every year 

 and thoroughly cultivate the soil, they will live as long as a man. 

 Judge Buck told me they were stricken from the list a few years 

 ago for not being hardy. I do not think that was the cause ; I be- 

 lieve it was over production, with no cultivation or mulching. Ihe 

 way my trees have borne with such a drought as we had five years 

 ago, without cultivation or mulching, would certainly kill any tree."
