THE WESTERN POMOLOGIST. 



1871 



Ed. Pomologist : Allow me to give a contra, 

 diction to my own assertion, in a late number of 

 your journal. I there stated that the peaches were 

 all frozen in the bud. This is not the case with 

 seedling trees, there being quite enough of bloom 

 for a crop. But the choice or budded varieties are 

 all gone. On high grounds there are a few choice 

 ones saved about Herman, fourteen miles from 

 here. 



The apple trees are loaded with Ijlossom buds, 

 and will be out in a week, if the weather keeps a.s 

 it is now. 



Who can say to a certainty that Matthew's " No. 

 13" is not Rogers No. 1 grape ? Prom all that I can 

 learn it is, as I have seen them all, I believe, and 

 cannot call to mind any one but No. 1 which cor- 

 responds to that description. 



That asparagus will vary from the parent when 



seed is sown, is very apparent, in my case, as the 



second year I could not tell the Purple Giant from 



Conovers Collossol, the latter for whicli I paid $1 



for a package of seed. I can cut a good crop the 



third yeaf from seed sown at once where the bed is 



to be.

Wine Making in Nevad.v. — The Territorial 

 Enterprise of the 12th says: "We have received 

 samples of wine of various kinds, manufactured in 

 this city by Mr, Andrew Milatovicli. In making 

 these wines the grapes were not pressed — being 

 merely broken up by the pressure with the hands, 

 and no addition of any kind was made to the pure 

 juice of the grape. Good judges say that the wines 

 thus manufiictured in this city are much superior 

 to the wines made from the same grapes in Califor- 

 nia. Our climate is said to be more favorable for 

 wine making than that of California. Tons of 

 grapes are now in use in this city every fall In the 

 manufacture of wine, principally by Germans and 

 Sclavonians. In a number of saloons all the wine 

 sold is made in this city from grapes brought from 

 California. 



Apples fok Oregon. — The Oregon State Hor- 

 ticultural Society have made a recommendation 

 with regard to the best twelve varieties of apples 

 to be grown for the market, to which some of the 

 fruit growers of the State take exceptions. " Mr. 

 M. P. Owen, in speaking of his preferences, says 

 that he can sell, either for the California or home 

 market, one thousand bushels of the Red Astrachan 

 and Early Harvest, (neither of which are included 

 in the Society's list,) for seventy -five cents to a 

 dollar a bushel, to ten bushels of Red June and 

 Golden Sweet (both of which are included in the 

 Society's list) at thirty -seven and a -half cents per 

 bushel."
