PLUMS 
The plum, like a pear, succeeds best in a rather heavy soil with 
some clay and being generally free from disease is profitable. They 
should be gathered a few days ahead of use that they may develop 
their perfect flavor. For family use they especially do well in poul¬ 
try yards, or where the hogs keep the ground free from fallen fruit. 
The varieties should be mixed.
