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 protecting 
the crop of Plums from attacks of curculio. 
Immediately after the trees have blossomed, 
and when the fruit is in its first stages of 
growth, make the ground clean and smooth 
under each tree, and spread a sheet upon it, 
so that it will extend as far as the outside 
edge of the outer branches; then suddenly 
jar the tree, so as to shake down all the 
stung fruit and insects, which should be de- 
stroyed. If this operation is carried on 
daily for a short time, it will insure a full 
crop of delicious Plums, and will repay the 
little daily attention given. It is very im- 
portant that this should be done early in 
the morning, while the insects are sluggish.

October Purple — It is a splendid grower; 
ripens up its wood early to the tips; bears 
enormously every season; fruits "all over" 
the old wood on spurs, instead of away 
out on the branches like many other varie- 
ties. Fruit very uniform and large. We 
had many fruits the past year measuring 
fully two inches in diameter.
