THE NEW GRAPES. 
Nothing connected with horticulture gives us 
more pleasure than the attention now given to the 
culture of the grape, and particularly to the pro¬ 
duction and dissemination of new varieties. A 
word of caution, however, seems just now to be 
needed to prevent disappointment. It is not wise 
to turn our back upon an old and well-proved vari¬ 
ety like the Isabella, for wherever it will ripen it is 
to our notion an excellent grape, if properly 
grown, large, showy, hardy, a good bearer and 
keeper, in fact having many good qualities and 
very few bad ones. Neither should persons think 
that every seedling they raise, or that any vine 
they happen to be in possession of, differing from 
this variety or the Catawba and Clinton is better, 
or a great acquisition. Not more, perhaps, than 
one out of a thousand of the seedlings raised will 
prove even as good as the Isabella. Too much 
confidence mustnotbc placed in the descriptions of 
these new sorts, for there is getting to be quite an 
excitement on the matter, and we notice that somo 
ol them arc described in very glowing terms by 
persons who can have bin little acquaintance with 
them—perhaps having seen the fruit only once,— 
nnd in many eases describing them from what others 
Bay and write. Scores of sorts are now well spoken 
of, that ten years hence will be regarded as ut¬ 
terly worthless. The Delaware we are satisfied 
stunds at the very head of the new grapes. Its 
quality no one can complain of. We regret that it 
is so small. Its size will detract from its value for 
market. The Diana we think destined to bo popu¬ 
lar. The Hartford Prolific, though having some 
faults, is a good sort to plant whero the Isabella 
will not ripen. The Rebecca is of line quality, and 
we have hopes that it will prove hardy, and worthy 
of general cultivation. Much further than this our 
experience and observation at present will not 
allow us to go.

RE-GRAFTING VIRGALIEU PEAR TREES. 
Masses. Editors:— Your correspondent, “ Ciik- 
muno,’ in the Rural ol January 2‘Jth, says he has 
a lot of 150 White Doyenne pear trees, that produ¬ 
ces cracked and worthless fruit, and inquires what 
kinds you would advise him to graft them with. 
You say, “ wo would graft the White Doyenne 
with the Duchcsse de Angouleme, Louise Donne 
de Jersey and Dartlett.” Do you understand your 
correspondent to say that the trees that he wishes 
to re-graft are on the quince root, if so, then 1 have 
nothing more to say. Dutiffthey avc standard trees, 
or, in other words, on pear stocks, then I must, with 
all due respect, beg leave to differ with you. 
I believe it is generally conceded by the most 
experienced fruit growers, that the Duchcsse de 
Angouleme is worthless, unless worked on the 
quince, and the Louise Donne do Jersey, I have 
always supposed, was better when worked on the 
quince, than when on the pear. Allow me to sug¬ 
gest to “ Chemung,” that if his trees are on the 
pear stock, he can graft them with no better kinds 
for market or other purposes, than the Dartlett and 
Onondaga. The latter sort, when the trees are 
young, sometimes produces fruit that is lacking in 
point of quality, but when the trees are 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 
the 10th and 12th of January, has blighted our 
hopes and expectations of getting a crop of peaches 
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 patience for 
the good time in the future. Wu. Tompkins. 
Germantown, N. Y., Feb., 1859. 
Remarks. —Our correspondent is quite right in 
bis remarks about the Duc/tessc de Angouleme .— 
Our advice was given for dwarf trees. We don’t 
know of anything that makes a finer tree than the 
Bartlett double worked, as we suggested “Cue- 
mono ” should do with some of his Viryalieus. 
ORCHARDING AT THE WEST. 
Messrs. Editors: —In your remarks upon the 
communication ol Mr. II. p. Kimball on Orchard¬ 
ing in Illinois, in a late number of the Rural, you 
say that his experience does not agree with your 
observation, and call upon the fruit growersof Illi¬ 
nois for the lacts. Now, his experience agrees so 
exactly with mine, and that of others in this sec¬ 
tion, that I, though not a resident of Illinois, am 
induced to add my testimony by way of corroborat¬ 
ing the facts elicited by his article. We have not 
had so decided a failure here as in Illinois, but that 
the seedling does better than grafted stocks is mani¬ 
fest everywhere, and men of observation are acting 
upon the advice of Mr. Kimball, and others, to 
plant seedlings. They make a third more growth in a 
given time, and bear well, and we are glad here, if we 
get anything that bears the name of apple. Top- 
grafting has not been done much yet, but cannot 
fail to do well and be the surest way to obtain an 
orchard at the West. Indeed, I am of the opinion 
that if it were practical to plant the seeds in the 
•rchard, and never subject the tree to a transplant¬ 
ing it would be better still. But, the next thing 
to this is to obtain young seedlings not over three 
years old, and plant in the spring. The recom¬ 
mendation of Rarkv, and other Eastern nursery¬ 
men, to plant in the fall will not do at the West. 
Oshkosh, WIs., Jan., 1869. li. 0. Wood. 
Remarks.— We are happy to receive the opinions 
el practical men at the West, but wo would be still 
more happy to receive the facts on which these 
opinions arc founded. We have published one 
article from a Western fruit grower in opposition 
to the conclusion of Mr. Kimball, and our present 
correspondent goes even further than Mr. K., in 
his regurd lor seedling trees.

LUGID CANADA .AJPIPLI-G. 
In compliance with the request of a correspon¬ 
dent, wo give an engraving of the lied Canada 
Apple. The drawing we had taken from nature a 
year or so since, and it is a good representation of 
a fair or medium size specimen. This apple is 
recommended by tbe American Homological So¬ 
ciety for particular localities, and is highly prized 
as an orchard fruit in Ohio, Michigan and other 
places in the West, as well as in Western New 
York. Mr. Thomas says it succeeds equally well 
in New England, New York and Ohio, but we 
believe it is not now as popular in the Eastern 
States ns it was some years ago. The tree is thrifty, 
though making a slender growth, and is very pro¬ 
ductive, and of the quality of the fruit, where it 
succeeds, there is but 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 dots. Stalk short, insert¬ 
ed in a broad, deep cavity. Calyx closed,segments 
long, in a email, narrow, somewhat irregular basin. 
Flesh white, tender, crisp, abounding with a brisk, 
refreshing juice, and retaining its fine, delicate fla¬ 
vor to the last. It is in season from December to 
May. 
CULTURE OF THE GRAPE. 
Messrs. Editors: —The interest that has been 
awakened of late years on the subject of Grape 
Culture, seems to call for a liberal space in your 
Horticultural Department. Two years ugo the de¬ 
mand for young vines, to set ii. vineyards, was so 
great that the market was bare of them, and tbe 
demand could not be met. Now, it will be clearly 
understood how important it is to be well posted 
upon the following subjects, viz:— What is the 
most perfect arrange?nentfor Trellisf What form 
is best for the vines? What hind of pruning f — 
When is the best time for it to be done ? What is 
the best culture? The best manure? When is the 
fruit fit to gather ?— and, the best way to keep it in 
a fresh, state the greatest length of time? 1 think, 
the Lord will, we may safely calculate on fresh 
Grapes eight or ton months, if not the entire year, 
and but a small per cent, of loss on them, com¬ 
pared with other fruits. For years I have been 
saying to the hundreds (that have been to see the 
beautiful crops of fruit that have grown on my 
old vines,) that had the first settlers of these United 
Slates known the value of the Grape Vine audits 
fruits, nnd what was more important, how to man¬ 
age it for profit, there would at this time bo 
more bushels of grapes consumed by the thousands 
ol renders of the Rural than there is of any other 
kind of fruit. 
I have seven acres set to vines two years next 
spring, that 1 am preparing to build trellis for, and 
I wish to have the arrangement the most perfect, as 
to cheapness and durability, to get the greatest 
yield per acre, of the most choice fruit. I there¬ 
fore send you my conclusions on the abovo subjects, 
hoping they will bring to your sanctum the volun¬ 
tary contributions of the best vine dressers in the 
country, that wo may have tho benefit of each 
others experience. 
I design to liavo all my vineyards enclosed with 
a board fence. The vines ure set four feet from the 
fence on all sides, which gives space between the 
fence and first rows for the horse and cultivator to 
pass between them. The vines are set one rod 
apart, each way. For the outside row I shall make 
a trellis all round the vineyard, excepting the gate¬ 
way between that and the next row, for the pur¬ 
pose ol giving a chance to cart manure to any part 
ot the vineyard, or the team and cultivator to pass 
from between one trellis to the next. In all cases 
I consider it very important to have the trellis 
stand cast and west, except the outside rows on 
tho east and west sides of the vineyard. The rea¬ 
sons why, 1 shall more fully explain when I come to 
treat on summer pruning. 
First, What form is best for Trellis to meet the 
wants of the Vines, from the time they begin to 
bear till they are fifteen or more years of age? It 
is necessary to keep vines thin to get perfect fruit. 
My conclusions for trellis are these, get cedar fence 
rails or poles, six inches in diameter at tho but, 
und set them 2Jtf feet in the ground. Use three 
wires and one slat, the first wire 16 inches from 
the ground, (as truit nearer the ground is covered 
with dirt in a heavy shower,) above that another 
wiie, then a slat to the posts at a proper distance 
to rest tho ladder Against, nnd at tho top another 
wire. For slats chestnut is best as it is durable, 
straight-rift, and free from knots — sawed 4 inches 
wide and Vf inches thick. It is actually neces¬ 
sary to have one tier of slats to keep the wires from 
sagging. When tho trellis has been built six or 
eight years, some of tho posts will begin to be 
weakened by decay, when that occurs, take about 
No. to wire, stretch it north and south, across tho 
top of the trellis j get some stout spikes 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, acrestof trellis built in this 
way will last as long as thb vines remain in bear¬ 
ing, if nearly all the postage rotted off, providing 
Uie outside posts on the mirth aud south sides are 
firmly braced with long 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 posts when 
needed, nnd 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 
tho north side and parallel with the trellis, on u 
plat ns near the next trellis as possible, without 
shading the fruit on it. 
Somo 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 iy inch pine plank, four 
inches wide at one end, 3 inches at tbe other end, 
one round at each end, then steps of inch boards, 
straight on tho back side, but a circle on the front 
side, so that they are C inches wide in the centre. 
It is light and I can stand on it all day and prune, 
or pick fruit ubout us easy as I can on the ground.

THE ALLEN RASPBERRY. 
I would ask, ns a pomologist, why it is that old 
and established varieties of fruits should so fre¬ 
quently be brought up under new names? As 
though the nomenclature of specific varieties were 
not, in 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 be appended, and the fruit forthwith ushered 
before the public as something new? We need 
not enumerate instances of this kind. They have 
been, in times gone by, legion. Is it not time that 
this loose system should be abandoned? Is the 
variety better for its new name?—or, rather, should 
we not, so far as possible, correct this evil, and 
“give unto Ca:sar tlio things that are Cjesar’s?” 
I bad hoped the time had gone by for attempting 
to make now capital out of old cloth. 
Here, then, is a caso in point. Mr. L. F. Allen 
grows a Raspberry—an old and well-established 
variety. Deing desirous of growing the plants 
and fruit for market, at the same time entirely un¬ 
familiar with the 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 dillieult 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 yel¬ 
low-colored cane. Upon examining his plants, at 
his request, on the “ Island,” I at once assured 
him (us I previously knew,) the variety was a com¬ 
mon one in Ohio, that I had it in my grounds, and 
had tried to exterminate it for years, with but 
poor success. It is, in fact, tho “false Red Ant¬ 
werp," as almost univer a'ly propagated through 
the west for the “ Red Antwerp," until the past 
lew years. It lias all the characteristics of that 
variety, canes, strong and rampant, often inclin¬ 
ed to branch—blossoms very freely and sets but 
little fruit; needs neither winter protection or sum¬ 
mer support l 
The history of the Allen Raspberry is this:— 
Some years since, W. H. Sotuam, tho Hereford 
breeder, of Black Rock, purchased, with other 
shrubs, Ac., u largo stock of this variety uf rasp¬ 
berry from F. It. Elliot, ef CloTelaiid. Wm 
Sotuam presented some of the canes to Mr. Allen 
and others. The balance were sold to Mason & 
Loverino, nurserymen, of Buffalo, nnd by them, 
have been scattered through our neighborhood. 
My neighbor, Col. IIodoe, grows it, and described 
it as the same in the Rural some time since. I 
know no good reason why we may not as properly 
call it the Sotham Raspberry, or the Elliot Rasp¬ 
berry, as the Allen Raspberry. Some vague re¬ 
marks have been made as to its being obtained 
from the garden of a gentleman deceased. This is 
sheer gammon. This raspberry was never in that 
garden, as is asserted by one who well knows, 
and it is a lame attempt to ivrap in mystery a sim¬ 
ple fact most readily controverted. Now, so far as 
the name goes, the variety, if valuable, is valuable 
still. I cannot see that its new name can render 
the plant more prolific. If I did, I would certain¬ 
ly cultivate mine over again. In multiplying they 
are exceedingly prolific, but in fruiting, I consider 
them far inferior to the genuine red, or Hudson 
River Antwerp, the Orange, and others, and should, 
I hold, retain its old, but honest cognomen, “ False 
Red Antwerp.” W. R. Coppock.

THE WINTER AND ITS EFFECTS. 
Eds. Rural :— Our winter thus far has been a 
most singular one, the discrepancies in relation to 
ordinary seasons iti this climate are striking nnd 
manifold. The utter inability of human philosophy 
to form, or even suggest any systematic laws that 
govern metcrologic physics, allows every one to 
fumble in the dark for causes, and one suggestion 
is us good as another, ns to any applicability to 
present and future effects. 
The presumption that our c’ mate is going thro’ 
the incipient grades of a radical change, or that 
the Comet has distributed some of its incandescent 
particles through our atmosphere, is just as good 
philosophy, us the suggestions and presumptions of 
your clerk of the weather, or the learned lucubra¬ 
tions of Lieut. Maury. 
The most remarkable anomaly that I propose to 
notice, is the present appearance and probability 
of the utter ruin of the blossom bud of the peach, and 
the consequent failure of the coming season’s crop. 
It 1ms ever been held that from 15® and below 
under zero, was fatal to that production, and the 
experience of forty years in this region, sanctions 
the rule without any exception, as far as my ad¬ 
vices go ; but tho 10th and 11th of January, with 
the thermometer at 10® and some indicating 11°— 
which was the lowest point in my neighborhood 
by several instruments—has killed every bud on 
over 150 trees that I have examined. 
In former years 9°, 10°, 12° and 14° below zero 
was not uncommon, and one year us low as 19°, 
20°, with good crops. Some persons attempt 
to account for it by suggesting the influence of the 
warm weather, in swelling and developing the bud; 
but that is not the cause, as far as I have observed, 
for the buds are as close and firm up to the present 
time as 1 have ever noticed them. 
The whole day of the lltb, of January was below 
zero, but fell very fast alter noon, till at 4 o’clock ' 
it was 10° below, and so remained till 9, when it 
commenced rising, and at midnight it stood 0“ 
above; by which it appears that the extreme cold 
was of but short duration. Now, from what causes 
this inexplicable effect has resulted, when under 
the same circumstances, with respect to tempera¬ 
ture and exposure, a totally different result was 
found to exist, is a very abstruse problem to ex¬ 
plain, at least to my mind. L. B. Manly.

Genesee Valley Horticultural Society. —This 
Society held its annual meeting at the Court House 
on the 7 tli instant. The Treasurer’s report showed 
the finances of the Society to be equal to its obli¬ 
gations, although the debts incurred during the 
past season have been larger than usual. 
The feasibility ofholding weekly or semi-monthly 
meetings and shows of the Society was discussed 
at some length, and finally referred to the Execu¬ 
tive Committee, who will probably to some degree, 
carry the proposit'on into effect. The following 
officers were elected for the ensuing year:— Presi¬

Manure for Fruit Trees.—W ilt you Inform me 
through tlie Rural what 19 the best kind of manure for 
pear trees, apple trees, and grape vines, when tho best 
time to apply it, and how much ? Also, whether ashes, 
touched or unleaclied, ure good, and how to use them? 
— R. W. Burdick, Alfred , N. Y., 1S59. 
Well-rotted, but not washed-out, stable manure is 
the best manure we know of for all these purposes. 
Apply it either in the spring or fall. There is little 
danger of an over-dose. Ashes, in small quanti¬ 
ties, are good, and should be applied to thesurface, 
but not allowed to touch the bark.

Annual Meeting for the election of officers, and an

ABOUT CRULLERS. 
Messrs. Eds.: —Seeing a request in the Rural 
for a recipe for Crullers, and being willing to add 
a. mite to the Domestic Department, I will send 
mine, that I have used for years, and think it very 
good: 
One egg; 1 tablespoon of white sugar; 1 table¬ 
spoon of lard, (I generally use three times this 
amount at once,) add a little salt—mix in flour 
sufficient to roll out well. Roll quite thin—make 
them in every possible manner, and fry in clean 
lard—so that they may be white—and do not 
brown them.— Mrs. E. W. V., Out West, 1859. 
Crullers. —One teacup of sweet milk; one of 
sugur; two eggs; one tablespoonful of butter; 
one of cream tartar; one teaspoonful of soda— 
cut very thin and fry.—N. M. T. M., South Ala¬ 
bama, N. Y., 1859. 
Eds. Rural :—For the information of “A house¬ 
keeper, Out West,” und lovers of good Crullers in 
general, I send you the following recipe for making 
what I know to be a first-rate article. One pint of 
sweet milk ; onetenspoonful of soda; two do. cream 
tartar; two tcacupfuls of pulverized sugar; half

HOW TO PRESERVE YOUR FURS. 
Furs, says a writer in one of the New York 
papers, who seems to be thoroughly familiar with 
tbe subject, should never be put away for tho sum¬ 
mer and forgotten, us they so frequently are; und 
next to being shut up from the air, their greatest 
enemy is dump. If from the wearer being exposed 
to rain, they become wet, they should always be 
dried at a moderate distance from the tire imme¬ 
diately; and in warm weather, when not required 
for wear, they should never be shut in a box or 
drawer for more than a few days at a time, and 
every few weeks they should be shaken and beaten. 
The more delicate skins require somewhat more 
delicate treatment. The best plan is, probably, 
not to puck furs away, but to let them lie in a 
drawer or wardrobe that is constantly being opened 
so that they meet the eye frequently, and being thus 
often in sight, it is easy, at convenient opportuni¬ 
ties, to have them taken out and beaten—or, at any 
rate, shaken and tossed, and thoroughly exposed 
to the air. It is common to hear it remarked, that 
the moth gets into furs — as if tbe insect actually 
migrated from one loculity to another; the proba¬ 
bility is, however, that furs and woolens are ani¬ 
mal substances, endowed with a vital principle, 
which developes itself into the living organisms 
through the decay of its material shape. Cleanli¬ 
ness and airing are, therefore, absolutely essential. 
— Selected. 
Chicken Pie. —In answer to request in a J anuary 
number for chicken pie, I send the following:— 
Make the crust of sour cream, saleratus, salt, and 
roll about one-fourth of an inch thick — line the 
pan, have the ekieken boiled tender, lay it in tho 
pan, and between each layer sprinkle Hour, pepper, 
salt, and plenty of butter—add a part of the water 
the chicken was boiled in, so as to nearly cover — 
then lay over tbe crust, and bake half an hour in a 
slow oven. Take the rest of the water the chicken 
was boiled in, and make a gravy with flour and 
butter.—A Farmer’s Wife, Mason, Mich., 1859. 
A Handy Cover for the Fi.ouii Barrel.— 
Housekeepers generally cover their barrel of flour 
with a cloth loosely thrown over the top for pro¬ 
tection from dust, Ac., consequently it is always 
coming off, and mice are not kept out of the barrel. 
To preveut this annoyance, take tlie top hoop, after 
the head of tlie barrel is removed, and sew in white 
cloth; it makes a nice, convenient and firm cover, 
thus protecting the flour from dirt and vermin.— A 
Subscriber, Brandon , V 1859. 
A Simple Remedy for Bronchitis. —A writer in 
the Baltimore Sun, who lias been afflicted severely 
in his family by that appalling disease, bronchitis, 
has found relief from the following remedy:— 
“Take honey in the comb, squeeze it out and dilute 
with a little water, and wet the lips and mouth oc¬ 
casionally with it.” It had never been known to 
fail, in cases where children hud throats so swollen 
as to be unable to swallow. It is certainly a sim¬ 
ple remedy, and may bo a very efficacious one. 
Sponge Ginger Cake. —Oue teacup molasses; 4 
tablespoons of butter or lard; 1 teaspoon of ginger. 
Stir this with flour until it will receive no more, 
then add 1 teacup hot water; 1 teaspoon saleratus. 
Wtir and bake.— Mina P., Orion, Oak. Co. Mich.
