must be done without fail, for if left again to bloom, it would 
impart the disea ase to many others in its vicinity; care is also 
necessary, in its removal, to take out all the roots of the dis- 
eased tree, especially if another ts to be planted in the same 
place, so that the roots of the tree to be planted may not 
come in contact with any of those of the one which was 
diseased. 
If your neighbour has trees infected with the yellows in 
a quarter contiguous to yeur’s, it will be necessary to pre- 
vail on him to remove them, that your’s may not be injured 
by them. By being thus particular in speedily removing 
‘such trees as may be infected, the diseaseas prevented from 
, extending itself to the rest ot the orchard, and the-resicue 
will consequently be preserved in perfect health at the trifling 
loss of a few trees annually from a large orchard. And here 
‘it may be well to remark, that the propagation of the Peach 
on Plum stocks will only answer where the trees are to be 
trained as Dwarfs, as it is found that in standard Peaches on 
Plum stocks, the Peach is apt to overgrow the Plum, andthe 
latter being unable to furnish a sufficient portion of sap to - 
promote the growth of the former, the Peach becomes 
stinted and short lived; and Duhammel, the most able 
French writer on the culture of fruits, pronounces the Plum 
stock never to be eligible for Peach trees which are intended 
as standards. 
CHERRIES. 
Cherry trees will not succeed in a low wet situation; they 
thrive best in a rich sandy joam, and the soil around them 
must be kept cultivated until they have attained a consider- 
able size. If the bodies of the trees become bark-bound, 
some rotten manure must be dug in around them, and the 
bodies and largest branches be brushed over with soft soap. 
Tho Morello cherry having become almost extinct in some 
parts of the United States, in consequence of an insect which 
perforates the branches, and produces large excrescences, 
which, unless lopped off as soon as they appear, soon destroy 
the tree altogether—it may be satisfactory to state that the 
English Morello, and the Plumstone Morello, are not sub- 
ject to this disease—and that the fruit of both of these kinds 
is far superior in size and flavour to the common Morello, 
and ripens equally late in the season.
