PLUMS 
On a strong clay soil the Plum grows 
most thriftily, and suffers least from "cur- 
culio" and "black-knot." By giving a little 
extra care there is no difficulty in protect- 
ing the crop of Plums from attacks of 
curculio. Immediately after the trees have 
blossomed make the ground clean and 
smooth under each tree, and spread a sheet 
upon it; then suddenly jar the tree, so as 
to shake down all the stung fruit and in- 
sects, which should be destroyed. It is 
very important that this should be done 
early in the morning, while the insects are 
sluggish.
