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 
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 insects, which should 
be destroyed. It is very important 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. See cut on 
page 13.

SUGGESTIONS 
We are preparing in pamphlet form a little booklet called SUGGESTIONS, 
covering the selection of varieties for various localities; pruning, with cuts show- 
ing before and after; different spray formulas, etc., etc. We believe this will be 
of much use to planters, especially amateurs. Sent free to all who ask for it.
