PhUcns. 
The Plum, like the Pear and other finer fruits, attains its greatest perfection on our 
heavy soil, being entirely free from disease. The curculio, a small, dark brown beetle, 
often stings the fruit, causing it to drop off ; but the following directions, faithfully 
observed, will secure a good crop of this splendid fruit everywhere. 
As soon as the blossoms are fallen, spread two sheets under the tree, and give the 
tree a sudden jar by striking a smart blow with a hammer upon the stub of a limb sawed 
from the tree for the purpose ; the insects will drop on the sheet and can be killed. Col- 
lect all the fallen fruit and burn or feed to swine. Repeat the operation every day for 
two or three weeks. It should be done before sunrise. 
The cost of protect ing large orchards from the attacks of this enemy will not exceed 
ten cents per tree for the entire season.
