particularly successful in the orchards of the proprietor, as

_ As soon as a tree is discovered to possess the characteris- 
tics of the disease, which is generally known by the leaves” 
putting on a sickly yellow appearance—but of which the 
premature ripening of the fruit 1s a decisive proof—it should 
be marked, so as to be removed the ensuing autumn, which 
must be done without fail, for if left again to bloom, it would 
impart the disease to many others in its vicinity ; care 1s also 
necessary, in its removal, to take out all the roots of the dis- 
eased tree, especially if another is 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 yours, it will be necessary to pre- 
vail on him to remove them, that yours may not be injured 
by them. By being thus particular in speedily removing 
such trees as may be infected, the disease is prevented from 
extending itself to the rest of the orchard, and the residue 
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, and 
the 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 Dubammel, 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. ite | 
CHERRIES. 
Cherry Trees will not succeed in a low wet situation; they 
thrive best in a rich sandy loam, 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. 
The Morello Cherry haying become almost extinct in some
