PLUMS 
Plums are among the most satisfactory fruits. They usually bear the second year after 
planting and are very prolific. Those offered in our list are among the best that are grown. 
Plums should be sprayed for brown rot and curculio, and borers should be taken out and kept 
out of the roots. Plant on well-drained lands, the higher the better. Heavy crops of fruit 
should be thinned as soon as danger of frost is over; this can be done any time during the spring. 
Thinning makes larger fruit and leaves the tree in shape to bear another crop the next year. 
Plant and fertilize same as for peaches.
