W. T. Hood e Co.'s Descriptive Catalogue 29 Select Plums The Plum will grow vigorously in almost every part of this country, but it hears its finest and most abundant crops in heavy loams, or where there is consider- able clay , it will bloom and set a fine crop in a sandy soil, but in such soils it gener- ally falls a prey to the curculio, and droi)s [)rc maturely. There are, however, some \arieties that succeed \-ery well in sue li siuialions. The curculio, a small, brown ins(;ct, commencL-s its depredations on this fruit as soon as it has attained the size of a |)ea, and contiinies its course of destruction until the crop is matured. It makes a small, crescent-shaped incision in the fruit, and lays its egg in the 0()ening ; the egg hatches into a worm, which feeds upon the fruit, caus- ing it to fall prematurely. The only preventive that is known to succeed with any degree of certainty is to place a white sheet under the tree early in the morning, when cool, and by jarring the tree suddenly the insect falls upon the cloth, and, being stiff, can easily be caught. By commencing this as soon as the fruit is formed, and con- tinuing it daily for about three weeks, you may be able to save a good crop. may not be secured from black fungus or knot, but if branches affected are carefully removed and burned, and the wounds, caused by removal of branches, be well saturated with kerosene oil and the trees are given careful cultivation, the injury to the trees will not be great.
