SELECT PLUMS. 



This is a very valuable and useful fruit, both for dessert and culinary 

 purposes. In some soils it suffers severely from the attacks of the curcu- 

 lio. Injury from this pest may be avoided by a comparatively small 

 amount of attention. As soon as the fruit commences setting, the trees 

 should be jarred daily, and the insect destroyed. Pursue this until all 

 danger of injury is past, and goods crops will follow.
