Price, 50 Cents Each. 



\e largest crops, and finest fruit, are, as a general thing, produced on a deep, clayey loam, 

 }gh we know soils of very light texture, that produce beautiful Plums. Fifteen to twenty 

 is the proper distance for planting.

|) prevent the ravages o5.tl^ curculio or Plum weevil, so destructive to our fine stone fruit, 



lest method we can recommend at present, is to choose a corner for themselves, where they 

 JDe enclosed, and when they commence bearing, allow the hogs to run amongst them, and 

 up the infected fruit. Where hogs cannot run, the fruit should be picked up daily, and de- 

 ed. 



henever the " Black Gum," or " Knots," makes it appearance, the diseased part should be 

 lice cut oflf and destroyed, before it spreads over, and destroys the whole tree. 



|\e Plum is a valuable and delicious fruit ; the various domestic uses to which it can be ap- 

 — its productiveness and easiness of culture, give it strong claims on the attention of every 

 valor.
