PLUM TEEES AS BUSHES 



The roots of no fruit tree are so easily kept within 

 bounds as the plum. In rich soils they bear annual 

 removal with but a slight check; but in most soils 

 biennial removal will keep them in a perfectly fruitful 

 state under bush culture. This is absolutely necessary ; 

 and if the soil be poor, some thoroughly rotted manure 

 (about half a bushel to each tree) may be mixed with 

 the soil in replanting. As with pear trees, the best 

 season for lifting or removing them is the end of October 

 or beginning of November. Plum bushes have the 

 advantage of being easily protected by a square of light,, 

 cheap calico, tiffany, or any light material thrown over
