On a strong clay soil the Plum grows most 
thriftily, and suffers least from "curculio" 
and "'black-knot." By giving a little extra 
care there is no difficulty in protecting the 
crop of Plums from attacks of curculio. Im- 
mediately 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 an;] insects, which should 
be destroyed. It is very important that this 
should be done early in the morning, while 
the insects are sluggish.

FELLEMBURG PRUNE 
SUMAN. 
Another of Mr. Burbank's creations. His 
endorsement is a sufficient guarantee. 
Prof. VanDeman says: "Sultan is my 
choice of all the new plums which I have 
tried. It is a cross ibetween Wickson and 
Statsuma; large, being over two inches in 
diameter; and nearly round in shape. The 
flesh is garnet color. In flavor it is excel- 
lent. Price 50 cents. 
OlilMAX PliUMS. 
Climax — One of Burbank's latest. Fruit 
heart shaped, larger than Wickson and 
more highly colored. Very fragrant, delici- 
ous, prolific and a vigorous grower. Price 
50 cents. 
Our grafting wood for Climax and Sultan 
was secured direct from Mr. Burbank at a 
cost of |7.i50 per foot. 
Keliie Claude — Skin yellow; flesh yellow, 
juicy and melting. Ripens iate and can be 
safely left on tree some days after ripe, 
thus securing the very best market. Of 
good quality at all times. Probably the 
most valuable yellow plum for market or 
home use. 
Shropslilre Damson — This large fruit of the 
Damson class is much used for preserv- 
ing. The trees are enormously produc- 
tive. Quality strictly No. 1. Septemiber.
