PiNNEv's Orchards. — H. P. Norton, Esq., of Brockport, furnishes to the Rural 

 New Yorker an account of the orchards of Austin Pinney, Esq., of Llarkson, N._\., 

 from which we learn that Mr. P. has now 3000 peach trees, 2600 pear trees on qumce 

 stock, -200 ditto on pear stock, making in all 5,800 trees. We know something <,f Mr. 

 Pinkey's zeal in fruit-culture, and with the finest land in the heart of the finest fruit- 

 growing section of America, we do look for model orchards indeed. The splendid new 

 railroad from Rochester to Niagara Falls runs through the village of Brockport a mile 

 from Mr P 's farm, so that he is now fairly on the highway of life, and can dispatch his 

 fruits, as they ripen, to the great markets that are anxiously awaiting them, both east 



and west. Success to Pinney's orchards.

Noticing that Mr. SouTHWORxn, of Penfield, (who you will remember was awarded 

 our Society's first premium for Barr^s Neiv Pine strawberry,) was bringing large .iium- 

 tities of strawberries daily to market, I requested him to report his success inns first 

 attempt at raising this fine fruit. His land is of a sandy loam, and he says that the 

 fi-ost never throws'out the roots, by which they so often perish. Last season he planted 

 out five-eio-hths of an acre of the vines oi Early Scarlet, Hovefs Seedhy, Bnrrs Aew 

 Pine ixuifAlpine. His Scarlets produced early and well, and his entire crop he esti- 

 mated at 2000 quarts, which he sold in our market at ^265. He has taken up his 

 ^^;.,-.., and planted the same ground and half an acre mo,-e with Burrs ^^ -' ^--; 

 which he says bears double what the Hoveys do. J as. H. W Arrs.-Rochester, A.J. 



The I'.i ack Excrescences on the shoots and limbs of plum trees are now coming and 

 thev sometimes break out on the bodies of small trees in such a way that it is rhlhcult 

 to remove them with the knife, without cutting away the whole tree. I have this sum- 

 r^er had three such cases, and have cut off most of the tumor and wet the remainder 

 with .Mirits turpentine. The tumor in each case has ceased to grow and has perished. 

 In the'first instance the turpentine spread a little around the sore, and destroyed the life 

 the bark as far as it went. I was after that careful to wet only the tumor. The 

 sore, were on trees that I set this spring. None came on trees that I have kept for a 

 fewyears with the ground well manured and salted. I esteem them a scrr^ulous 

 disease of the tree. S. C. HAMiLT0N.-/i«f?, N. V.
