HE-GRAFTING VntGALLEtT PEAS TREES. 



Messrs Editors;— Your correspondent, "Che- 

 mung," in the Rural of January 21'tb, says he bos 

 a lot of 150 White Doyenne pear trees, that produ- 

 ces cracked and worthless fruit, uud inquires what 

 kinds you would advise biin to graft them with. 

 You Bay, "we would graft the White Doyenne 

 with the Duehesse de Angouleme, Louise Bonne 

 de Jersey and Itartlclt." Do you understand your 

 correspondent to say that the trees that he wishes 

 to re-graft are on the quince root, if so, then I have 

 nothing more to say. But if they ares standard trees, 

 or, iu other words, oa psar stocks, then I must, with 

 all due respect, beg leave to differ with you. 



i generally conceded by the most 



icei) I 



Angouleme is worthless, unless worked ou the 

 quince, and the Louise Jtonne de Jersey, I have 

 always, supposed, was better when worked on the 



gestto "Chkuunq," that if bia trees are on the 

 pear stock, he can graft them with no better kinds 

 for market or other purposes, thnu theUartlett and 

 Onondaga. The latter sort, when the trees nre 

 young, sometimes produces fruit that is lacking in 

 point of quality, hut when the trees nre of good 

 size they produce a noble market fruit, that always 

 commands the highest price. 



I regret to inform you that the cold "snap" of 

 tbo 10th and JSth of January, has blighted oi 

 hopes and expectations of getting a crop ofpeacb 

 and apricots. However, we had a good crop of 

 peaches last season, which is some consolation, and 

 will the better enable us to wait with patieuce for 

 the good time in the future. Via. Tompkins.

 bis remarks about the Duehesse de Angouleme.—

Is compliance with the request of a correspon- 

 dent, we give an engraving of the lied Canada 

 Apple, The drawing wc had taken from nature a 

 year or so since, and it is a good representation of

 recommended by the American i'omological So- 

 ciety for particular localities, and is higblj prized 

 orchard fruit in Ohio, Michigan and other 

 ) in the West, as well as iu Western New 

 York. Mr. Thomas says it succeeds equally well 

 n New Euglaud, New York and Ohio, but we 

 relieve it is not now as popular iu the Eastern 

 Slates as it was some years ago. The tree i* thrifty, 

 though making u slender growlli, and is very pro- 



ductive, and of the quality of the fruit, where it 

 succeeds, there is hut one opinion, and that is, that 

 it is an excellent apple. 



Fruit medium, oblate, inclining to conic, slightly 

 angular. Skin yellow, mostly shaded with deep 

 red or crimson; somewhat striped or splashed on 

 the sunny side, and thickly sprinkled with grey. 

 and sometimes greenish dols. Stalk short, insert-

 important, how to man- 

 age it for profit, there would at this time be 

 ore bushels of grapes consumed by the thousands 

 readers of the Rural than there is of any other 



iring, that I am preparing to build trellis for, and 

 I wish to have the arrangement the most perfect, as 

 cheapness and durability, to get tbo greatest 

 yield per acre, of the most choice fruit. I there- 

 fore send you my conclusions on the above subjects, 

 hoping they will bring to your sanctum the volun- 

 f contributions of the best vine dressers in the 

 utry, that we may have tbo benelit of each 

 others experience. 

 I design lo have all my vineyards enclosed with 

 board fence. The vines are set four feet from the 

 ncc on all sides, which given .space between the 

 nee and first rows for the horse and cultivator to 

 ass between them. The vines are set one rod 

 apart, each way. For the outside row I shall make 

 ind the vineyard, exceptiug the gate- 

 for the pur- 



way bit 



pose of giving i

 from between oi

thill 1111. 1 t 



chan< 



a aud cultiv 



iportant to have the trellis 

 d east and west, except the outside rows ou 

 lOJl and west sides of the vineyard. The reu- 

 why, I shall more fully explain when I come to 



r pruning. 



First, What form is best for Trellis to meet the 

 ants of the Vines, from the time they begin to 

 car till they are fifteen or more years of age • It 

 i necessary to keep vines thin to get perfect fruit. 

 My conclusions for trellis arc these, get cedar fence 

 poles, six inches in diameter nl the hut 

 them 2>tf feet iu the ground. Use three 

 id one slat, the first wire 10 inches from 

 the ground, (as fruit nearer the ground is covered 

 ith dirt in a heavy shower,) above that another 

 ire, iheu a slat to the posts at a proper distance 

 ■ rest the ladder against, and at the top another 

 ire. For slats chestnut is best— as it is durable, 

 raight-rift, ami free from knots — sawed 4 inches 

 ideaud 1\' inches thick. It is actuallr neces- 

 sary to bate one tier of slats to keep the wires from 

 -- '- When the trellis has been built six or 

 "ght yeow. some of the posts will begin to be 

 •^ke.K,| by decay, when that occur,, take about 

 wire, itreteh it north and south, across the 

 >P o tha tnUU; jjet ioiu. stoat ipilcej made by a 



smith, and drive them into the top of each post.— 

 The wire should be wound around them to keep it 

 from slipping. Now, acres of trellis built in this 

 way will last as long as the vines remain iu bear- 

 ing, if nearly all the posts nre rotted off, providing 

 the outside posts on the north and south sides arc 

 firmly braced with Iuiil; braces reaching from their 

 tops, and spiked to the bottom of the posts, on the 

 adjoining trellis. The outside posts should be kept 

 stout at the ground by adding short post-, when 

 uceded, and two bolts through the tip of them and 

 the old posts. This arrangement will give addi- 

 tional space to the vines, by stretching wires on 

 the north side and parallel with the trellis, on u 

 plat as near the next trellis as possible, without 

 shading the fruit on it. 



Some will say this trellis is too high, but there 

 must be space for the team and the vines. I use a 

 ladder made of strips of V , inch pine plank, four 

 inches wide at one end, 3 inches at the other end, 

 one round at each end, then steps uf inch boards, 

 straight on the back side, but a circle on the front 

 side, so that they are G inches wide iu the centre. 

 It is light aud I can stand ou it all day and prune, 

 ground.

Eds. RttrtAL-.— Our winter thns far has been a 



most singular one, (he discrepancies in relation to 

 ordinary seasons in thi 8 climate arc striking and 

 manifold. The utter innbil if y of human philosophy 

 to form, or even mi ir-jeit any systematic laws Unit

 is as good as another, as to any applicability to

THE ALLEN RASPBERRY. 



1 would ask, as u penologist, why it is that old 

 and established varieties of fruits should to fre- 

 quently bo brought up under new names/ As 

 though the nomenclature of specific varieties were 

 not, iu themselves, sufficient for all practical pur- 

 poses. Years since there was, perhaps, an excuse 

 for this sort of confusion, from fruits grown in 

 certain localities losing their labels. But is this 

 any good reason why the name of the grower 

 should he appended, aud the fruit forthwith ushered 

 before the public as something oewl We need 

 not enumerate instances of tins kind. They have 

 been, in times gone by, legion. Is it not time that 

 this loose system should be abandoned? Is the 

 ity better for its ucw name?— or, rather, should

this 





"give unto CitSAa the thiugs that are C.lsaii's r" 

 I had hoped the time had gone by for attempting 

 to make new capital out of old cloth. 



Here, then, is a case in point. Mr. L. F. Alls* 

 grows a Raspberry— an old and Will-established 

 variety. Being desirous of growing the plants 

 aud fruit for market, at the same time entirely un- 

 familiar with tbo habits and character of this fruit, 

 he first claimed that it was the Hudson River Ant- 

 werp, and brought it to me for examination. It 

 was not difficult to prove the error, inasmuch as 

 the color of the canes were opposite, his being red, 

 while the Hudson River variety has a white or yd- 

 fi/w-colorcd caue. Upon examining bis plants, at 

 his request, on the "Island," I at once assured 

 him (as I previously knew,) tbo variety was a com- 

 mon one iu Ohio, that I had it in my grounds, and 

 had tried to exterminate it for years, with but 



ss. It is, in fact, the "false II, i A,,'- 

 almost univena'ly propagated through 



>r tho " Red Antwerp," until the past 

 It has all the characteristics of that 



:ancs, strong and rampaut, often inclin- 

 ed to branch— blossoms very freely nod sets but 

 little fruit; needs nett/ter winter protection »r sum- 

 mer support I 



The history of the Allen Raspberry is this;— 

 Some years since, W. II. So-rnAu. the Berefbrd 

 breeder, of Uluck Rock, purchased, with other 

 Arabs, Ac., a large stock of tbis variety of rasp- 

 berry from F. R. Elliot, sf Cleveland. Wu

 ou the 7th instant. The Treasurer's report showed 

 the finances of the Society to be equal to its obli-

The f'/a.sibi lily of holding weekly or semi-monthly
