Lime For Pium Trees

A correspondent of tho Rural New Yorktr says: Having somo plum trees tliat blcwomed overy year for Eeveral ycars, but did not bear; a yocr last f.'ill I put a quart or so of lime on tho round arouad all exccpt two, which I left on purpose to see f tbcy would bear as well. Tbese two were at t!io end of tlie rows. Tbu bou is grnvelly, witl) soft vrnter quito near, and I nferrod that tha sdü did not oontain enougb lime to form tbe pit of the plum. llosult - all the troe lii&t bad liine put aronnd tliem boro a good erop of pln)8 last full ; tboae that wore left without tbc lime blossomed ai full as tho others, bat !d not bsar a dozen pluTns. I tbought I wob well paid for tlie lime. I had not time to whituwash tlie liodiea of them in the spriug or I sbould liave done tbat also.
