SOIL FOR FRUIT TREES.
The Kind Best Adapted for the Growth
of the Plum-Well-Dr Drained
Soil Needed.

Prof. f. A. Waugh says: The notion
used to be that plums preferred a
heavy, clay soil. This is still true for
certain classes of plums particularly
the Domeslicas and Damsons. but some
other plums thrive In other soils so that
by choosing the varieties best adapted
to particular situations plums may be
grown almost anywhere.
Even light. sandy soils are suitable
to the Japanese varieties and some by
birds. Taking all kinds OF plums to-
gether. the best soil is that which would
be suitable for apples and the general
rule regarding apples is that they will
thrive on any soil we'll suited TO pota-
.oes. A loose deep. gravelly soil, With
an open subsoil, Is the best for all or
chard trees In this climate.
This is what should be chosen where
Il is available, Where Il cannot be had
almost any soil will do. providing only
that It is we'll drained. II must not
hold water either In summer or winter
II Is inclined TO do so, Il must be thor.
oughly drained, preferably by closed
stone or tile underdreins, before the
trees are planted.
