JAPANESE OR ORIENTAL PLUMS. This new strain of Plums has been received with general favor, and in the South, where the European kinds do not succeed as well as at the North, they have proved a blessing. In some sections where the Chickasaw or native kinds (Wild Goose, etc.) only are success- ful, the Japanese kinds are especially welcome, as they rate up in quality quite well with the very best European varieties. The Japanese Plums, with the exception of one kind, are extremeh' hardy and vigorous, bearing early and abundantly annual loads of rich, luscious fruit, ripening from early in June to September. One very valuable quality of the Japanese Plum is, that the wound made by the cur- culio (an enemy to Plum culture ever\'where), does not seem to affect the Japan kinds to the same extent as European and other kinds ; while they are not curculio proof entirely, yet for some reason the wound soon heals and the fruit matures ])erfectly. This may be attributed to the extremely strong and vigorous nature of both tree and fruit, as it appear
