In some sections, where the Chickasaw or native kinds (Wild Goose, etc.) only are successful, the Japanese kinds are especially welcome, as they rate up in quality quite well with the very best European varieties. The Japanese Pkims, with the exception of one kind, are extremely 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 curculto (an enemy to Plum culture everywhere) 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 perfectly. This may be attributed to the extremely strong and vigorous nature of both tree and fruit, as it appears to be able to resist and outgrow the trouble. L. H.
