Mr. (Jlh> 

 tbe two 

 slightly 



designates the best of tbem, as he supposes. ' 

 other, and poorer one, I call tbe " Bed Prolific,' 

 the gardener callid il, tor disLinct inn, not knowing 

 any name for it. Jlr. Qii.vnr may be correc 

 (elation lo the two berries; but I submit to 

 whether one year's trial is a sufficient test of t 

 comparative merits. He would do well to rem 

 be i I lui locality has a great influence on tbe bu 

 and charuclei of d liferent fruits, the small Jim I 

 particular. With me the "Avlific" is every 

 equal to the "Allen" iu size and ilavor. Then 

 is more ujiri-jht, and not at oil " branching, " 



or a or imson-ruaaetty color. The fruit, too, is q 

 as blight, and as abundant on tbe stalk as 



other. Several cultivators who have had h 

 quantities Of both kinds from me prefer the Pre 

 as tbe best bearer, and market fruit. It ba 

 proved in Connecticut and New Jersey. Yi 

 may prove very different in the Mobawk Valley 

 with Mr. QiTiNBr. There is notbiDg belter settled 

 in practical pomology than the fact that the snn 

 fruils do not equally succeed iu different soils at 

 localities, even under the same climate, Nor doi 

 the experience of one, two, or even live years, se 

 tie the question. Acclimation and adaptation to 

 new soil after a few years, may altogether change 

 the character of a single fruit, and tueh fuel every 

 one should know before he condemns it on a yeai 

 oi two's trial. 



1 have never said, and never supposed, that either 

 varieties of my raspberry would be equally or abm- 

 luttlt/ successful in all localities, soil and climates. 

 Vel 1 know they both succeed well with me, and 

 wilh many others who have had them from me, 

 and so it is with other raspberries. The Sudton 

 -!• is wonderfully successful in some 

 places, as in New I'altz, Hampton, and along the 

 west shore of the Hudson, in Orange and Ulster 

 counties in this State, and is the great market 

 raspberry of New York city from those counties, 

 although it requires winter covering to succeed. — 

 Yet iu many other localities it is an entire failure. 

 A plantation of au acre or more was made in this 

 vainly a few years since, in good soil, and it was 

 well cultivated; hut it proved an entire failure, and 

 the canes were taken up, and thrown out. Other 

 trials have been made hereabouts, but with no bet- 

 ter success. For the last live years I have weeklj- 

 pasaed a floe garden, wilh a considerable planta- 

 tion of one of the highly esteemed varieties of gar- 

 den raspberry in it, and after much pains tukiug, 

 aud years of trial, they have been thrown Out as 

 nearly or quite worthless. I would advise Mr. 

 Qpisdy to hold on to his condemned raspberry a 

 year or two longer, before he utterly repudiate it.

 three times during ihe season, and when i 

 approached about the tirst of December trimmed 

 my vines according to " ffvlmts," took then:

 block of wood next above to keep them quiet.

PREVENTING THE MAGGOT IN THE ONION. 



M.- 



. Eds— Having 8 



eltu, 



send, for tbe benelit of those interested, vi 

 suppose to he a remedy, in part. I have nol 

 it, but iutend to in a few days, being in tbi 

 dening business, and having suffered a gno< 

 from (he maggot. One day Inst full being in 

 ket, (Potsdam Village,) I met with Mr. Salmon 

 Crniiiui, quite an extensive seed grower of Pols- 

 dam, nnd in conversation with htm, found he hud 

 good success iu growing onions. He told im 

 it was done, and I have concluded to try it myself 

 and give others an opportunity. But t< 

 remedy. 



The maggot is the work of a fly. After the 

 onions are up and the weather is warm, tl 

 appears and does the mischief. Go to the crockery 

 store, get the cheapest bowls you can, enou 

 set one on every eight or ten feet .square; fill them 

 about two-thirds full of sweetened water, 

 sweet. Then take small pieces of boards, make 

 three holes in thetn, the same as a milking stool, 

 make the legs sharp at the lower ends, and set the 

 stools over the bowls to keep tbe storms out, and 

 press the legs into the ground to prevent the wind 



l' liN.umg them over. Do this and you will 



catch flics at such a rate that you will have to 

 empty your bowls and till them with sweetening 



al times. The flies like it better tbun onions. 



'. told me he caught millions on a bed where 

 he raised a hundred bushels. You may think Ibis 

 a process to go through with, hut I hope 

 KuralistS will try it aud report their success next 

 fall. Q. B. CiuKnALL,

 bed was tilled with salts, (5 rows, 100 iu each row).

 It is proper hero to remaik that I coi

 tbe object is to obtain the greatest increase of 

 plan's; but the earlier the young plant can bo 

 severed and removed from tbe pareut with safety, 

 tho better, and belter will he tho prospect of a 

 large number of large berries, the following 

 season. Several of the younglings that were first 

 removed, threw out runners, and gave four or five 

 good plants each ; these were taken up this spring 



to supply orders by mail

Hick, of Howe, Franklin Co ,

 mealy potatoes ; — " They should be dropped into 

 boiling wafer, and be kept boiling swiftly until 

 done. Pour off the water and set tbe kettle on 

 the stove. Partially remove the cover for the 

 steam to escape. Tbe sooner tbey are cateu the 

 better they are." But, at (his season of tbe year, 

 when potatoes are withered, I think she will often 

 fail of having mealy potatoes, unless she pares 

 them and soaks them in cold water three or four 

 hours, or when it is convenient over night, before 

 boiling, At least this is my esperienr ■ SABA,
