THE PLUM. 
The plum delights in rich soil. The trees can be planted much closer together than other fruit trees, 
yet in field culture it is not best to crowd any kind of fruit, but in gardens plums will fruit well when 
planted only ten feet apart. Plum trees bear at a very early age, and yield from them is surprising. It 
will also succeed in rich, sandy soil. The trees are pruned in same way as apple trees are when planted. 
It is generally advisable to start the tops as low as possible. Plums can be grown very profitably in the 
hennery, as the hen destroys the curculio which hides under the trees.
