 general effort all along the line, to ex- 

 tend our membership, so that we may 

 feel justified in carrying out our plans 

 for the improvement of this journal for 

 the year 1889. 



Mr. George Cline, of Winona, is a 

 successful plum-grower in the Niagara 

 district. He has now 3,500 trees 

 planted out in an orchard for market 

 purposes, a portion being now in full 

 bearing. His soil is largely clay loam, 

 and in parts sandy loam, and seems 

 well adapted to plum culture. We 

 value higlily such information as grows 

 out of practical experience, and have 

 prevailed upon Mr. Cline to open the 

 suVjject of "Plum Cultivation for 

 Home Use and Marker," at our winter 

 meeting at Hamilton. 



QUESTION DRAWER. 



Grape Vine -Leaf Hopper. 



100. ]'. Y tn-day'.H mail I forward s])ecinien of a 

 vine leaf infested by a sspecie.'i of white nudji^e, 

 the leaves of which look brown and die. Some 

 years since my rose trees were affected, year 

 after year, in the same manner, so much so 

 that I dug up a fine collection. On touching 

 the loaves, the [u'sts, which are innumerable, 

 tiy off. Can you inform me of any cure and 

 oblige. TiiOM.\s Si»bali),6((«o" Wfst,a mcmlicr

The insect referred to in this (juestion 

 is the Leaf Hojiper, referred to on

Books on Fruit Culture,

 could obtain Downing's work on Fruit, and at 

 what price?— John K. Rich.muw, Ai/hnrr. 



For this and other Horticultural and 

 Agricultural works, write to the office 

 of the American Ayriculturist, 751 

 Broadway, New York. 



A Proposed Bill to Regulate Fruit 

 Packages. 



102. 1)K.\H SiK,— It seems to me it is time 

 something like the annex were on onv statute 

 books. This is a rougli, off-hand draft, and 

 doxibtless could be amended to meet the de- 

 mands for honest dealing. An .\ct ever so 

 stringent will commend itself to honest fruit 

 l.ackers, like the members of the Fruit (Jrowers 

 .\s.sociation, and it will also to the better buyer. 

 I hope we soon will haje some protection.—
