I have had a full crop of all the leading kinds for the last eight years, such as the Jefferson, Washington, G. Cage, Hiding's Superb, Smith's Orleans, Lawrence's Favorite, and so on; also, Nectarines and Apricots, all simply saved by jarring the trees and killing the eurculios from the cotton sheet prepared for the purpose, as follows: The sheet always to be made sufficiently large to catch all that may fall on either side, to be cut up half way in the centre, and hemmed so as to pass around the trunk of the tree; then, with one long and two short sticks to be lashed fast to the ends, two boys and a man can run over a fruit garden in a few minutes, and will always have the satisfaction to find the eurculios to lessen in numbers rapidly; and as soon as only one or two are caught, the sheet may be hung up till the next year. The reward will be certain and rich.

Plums #1

Belle De Septembre

This proves to be a useful variety. It is large, oval, of a bright red color. In England it does not ripen till the middle of October, and is a very hardy, excellent kitchen fruit.

Cloth of Gold (Esperen) proved this season of excellent quality from a southeast wall. Shape - roundish-oval. Color - bright golden-yellow. Size - as large as the Washington, or larger, and very juicy and rich. It ripened just before Cods Golden Drop.

Diamond

This large and magnificent Plum can not be too highly recommended for preserving or kitchen use; its agreeable acid is never killed; and it is quite equal if not superior to the Winesour of Yorkshire, and, like that well-known variety, it is a most disagreeable Plum to eat.

Frost Gage

This should be called the American Damson, as it is a Damson in every respect, and the best of all. Its fruit is round, or very slightly inclined to oval; of a deep purple; will hang on the tree even to the end of October, and is always brisk in its flavor, juicy, and agreeable. It bears most profusely either as a standard or pyramid.

Prince Englebert

This is a Plum from Belgium, of the same race as the Diamond. V is of the same deep purple color, but in a tart it is more sugary. It forms a handsome pyramid, and bears abundantly. It ripens about a week before the Diamond.
