There is no fruit tree that bears such an abundance of fruit at so early an 
age as does the plum. Many varieties bear the first year after planting, and 
for th's single reason it should be mo.st extensively planted. A plum tree 
re<juires very little care, but for the fact that it produces its fruit in such 
a great abundance the tree does not live very long and new trees ought to be 
planted every year to always have an abundance of this useful fruit. The 
American or Chickasaw v.'irieties are mostly used for preserves and jelleys, 
while the Japanese varieties are used for the table. 
Rich loam with gravel subsoil is the best soil for plum culture, while 
sandy soil is almost as good if manured. 
The following is the best collection for the South, and cannot be excelled 
by any.
