Burbanks, partly colored and picked August 24, were placed in a tight box in a warm room, and on September 5 they were nearly all in perfect condition and had colored well, but were not even then fully ; Curculio is the chief drawback in Plum culture. It has been claimed that the Japanese Plums were not attacked by curculio, and some varieties have been advertised as curculio proof. This is erroneous; all the Japanese varieties, so far as we know, are attacked ; yet, as a whole, they are not injured as badly as other types of Plums, and some varieties are exceptionally free from attack. (See instructions for destroy- ing curculio, under "Care and Management of Fruit Trees," on another page.) Time Of Ripening". The earliest Plums we have are Japanese varieties, and the different kinds extend over a long season. In this latitude a judicious selection will furnish a succession of fine fruit from June to September. The succession as to time of ripening cannot be given with certainty, as it differs to some extent in different sections, and one variety varies in different seasons in the same section ; but in this respect these Plums do not differ from most other fruits. While, as above stated, it is impossible to lay down any definite rule as to time of ripening, the following list, giving approximately the succession for this latitude, may be of service : Willard, two weeks ahead of Ogon ; Red June and Red Nagate, between Willard and Ogon ; Ogon, June 10 to 20, at Glen St. Mary ; Kerr, " before Burbank ;" Burbank, June 15 to 25, at Glen St. Mary ; Berckmans, June 20 to July 5, at Glen St. Mary ; Wickson, before Satsuma, according
