There seems to be quite an effort made at
last to make something out of the wild plums.
1t is an effort that should have been made
long ago, but we suppose that hope has not
been wholly abandoned of yet getting the old
favorites 70 do as they once did.
The great trouble with the garden plum is
its liability to destruction by the puncture of
the curculio. 1t has been noticed that some
plums do not rot as readily after attack as
others, and hence there has been hope that
some one might be found wholly curculio-
proof We think that much of this exemp-
ton Is local. That is, that the same variety
in some soils and under some circumstances,
would rot sooner after being iDjuIed than in
cases where everything was favorable to high
est health. However this may be, nothing
definite has been discovered to save the plum
sound to US. except such labor as few have
the time to take, and TINS the fruit is COM
paratively scarce and dear.
None of these native plums are as good as
the old-fashioned kinds; indeed, some of
them are as rough as we may suppose the
bottom round in the ladder of genealogical
Improvement should always be; but then if
one can get no good plums at all, why not
have some that he can get though hardly
worthy of the name of plum at all? This is
just how it is with these new kinds. They
bear in great profusion; the trees are very
vigorous and healthy; the curculio attacks
them and some of them succumb, but not
near to the extent to which the sweet plum
suffer. One may manage to eat them raw,
and they will make tolerable pies and pre-
serves cooked. One may never be without a
plum in the house if he grows some of these.
1t is an advantage certainly; and then there
is the hope that real substantial i'm prove
ment may in time be gained.
We do not believe that there has yet beeu
much gain over the wild forms; but that lit
tie is gain, and we may go on and hope for
better things,-Germonto,cn Telegraph
