OLD QUINCE TREES PRODUCING BLIGHT. 
Eds. Rural :— In a former communication, I 
stated that all the blight Ave had on our grounds 
was on some pear trees in the immediate neighbor¬ 
hood of some old affected quince trees, while the 
remainder of our trees have never shown any signs 
of blight. With your permission, I will give you 
some additional facts that came under my obser¬ 
vation while visiting an amateur a few days since, 
in this vicinity. I found some old quince trees 
badly affected with the blight, and two pear trees 
standing near them, also affected ; and about one 
half of the tops cut away in consequence. In 
another part of his grounds, about fifteen rods dis¬ 
tant, I found a row of quince trees, very much 
blighted—some pear trees standing in the same 
row were also affected, while the remainder of liis 
trees, thirty or forty in number, were, to all appear- 
perfectly healthy. He told me that all the 
FRUITS ADAPTED TO THE WEST. 
Our Western correspondents are constantly 
inquiring the varieties of Fruits best adapted to 
culture in the West. Trees have suffered so much 
in that section the past few years, that it is not 
strange there should be a great anxiety to know 
which, if any, will succeed. The proceedings of 
the American Pomological Society, just received, 
contain reports from different State Committees, 
in answer to questions asked in the Society’s cir¬ 
cular, as to the best fruits in their several locali¬ 
ties, and from these we select three, the only 
reports received from Western States : 
Stocks. 
Mazzard Cherry Seedlings. 
Maualeb do. do. 
ance, 
blight he ever had, was confined to the above named 
trees. We have also the testimony of L. E. Berck- 
mans, of New Jersey, to the same effect, in the Pat¬ 
ent Office Report of 1856, page 352. He says, “ It 
is a strange fact that some pear trees growing in 
the immediate vicinity of some affected quince 
trees, have all been more or less injured; while in 
other parts of my grounds I have not seen a single 
blight, and chiefly no blight of the extremities, 
showing that the same disease did work in the same 
manner upon some pear trees as if by contagion.” 
The above corresponds with my experience, and 
observation, and if we find that pear trees standing 
near old quince trees blight worse than those at a 
distance, the sooner we learn this fact the better, 
that we may be prepared to apply a remedy. Mine 
is to eradicate the quince, root and branch. If pear 
growers would communicate such facts as come 
under their observation, perhaps we may learn 
something more of this mysterious disease, for very 
little is known of the cause, and, perhaps, still less 
of the remedy. J- s. c.

We notice among the officers, and those present at

some of our best friends, who are among the most 
intelligent and successful Pomologists in Western 
New York. It is proposed to hold monthly meet¬ 
ings for discussion, Ac. The following officers were 
elected for the present year:

No apple we are acquainted with is gaining more 
in public favor than the King of Tompkins County, 
which we figure above. In quality it is very good, 
the flesh, although coarse, is tender and juicy, with 
an exceedingly agreeable, rich, vinous flavor. The 
fruit is large and showy, bears transportation well, 
while the tree is a vigorous grower and an abun¬ 
dant bearer, giving good crops almost every sea¬ 
son. These qualities, our readers will perceive, 
make it extremely valuable as a market fruit. At 
the last meeting of the Fruit Growers of Western 
New York, on the vote being taken for the best 
varieties for an orchard of 1,000 trees, it stood the 
fourth on the list of twenty-seven varieties—the 
j first three being Baldwin, E. I. Greening and Rox- 
Had growers been better acquainted 
years in Tompkins, and the neighboring counties- 
It was only introduced to the notice of Pomologists 
generally a few years since, and at the session of the 
American Pomological Society in 
1856, was placed 
on the list of the new varieties which promise well. 
Mr. Downing gives the following description:— 
“Tree very vigorous, spreading, an abundant 
bearer annually. Fruit large, globular, inclining 
to conic, sometimes oblate, angular. Skin yel¬ 
lowish, mostly shaded with red, striped and splash¬ 
ed with crimson. Stalk rather stout and short, 
inserted in a large, somewhat irregular cavity. 
Calyx small and closed, set in a medium slightly 
corrugated basin. Flesh yellowish, coarse, juicy, 
j tender, with an exceedingly agreeable, rich, vinous 
flavor, delightfully aromatic. December to March.” 
It is said to be good for eating almost as soon as

Growers of Fruit for market is again called to this Straw- 
'^Alfthat its friends have hitherto claimed for it has been 
more than fulfilled, and testimonials without end could be 
furnished to attest its merits. 
The following, making a list, of advantages, all constitute its 
chief points of excellence!—the trutli of winch those who 
feel disposed, are confidently asked to verify: 
1st. The plant is very vigorous and. perfectly hardy. 
2d It is as productive as any other variety, (Dilsons 
Albany not excepted.) The fruit is produced m very 
large clusters, more than 20 perfect berries being fre¬ 
quently gathered from a single stem 
3d. The tlowersare none of them barren, but all perfectema- 
i iniformly productive of fruit. . 
4 th The fruit is absolutely unequalled in favor; in color 
a rich dark crimson extending into the heart of the 
berry, which is firm and solid to the centre—of the 
largest size—yet tender and delicate. ...... „ 
5th It takes the \st premiums wherever exhibited. See 
’reports of various Horticultural Societies. . 
Gth It is the only variety that received the unanimous vote 
of the Fruit Growers Society for general cultivation,

We notice with great pleasure an awakening ] 
interest on the subject of Horticulture in Canada, i 
The first steps for organizing a Fruit Growers' 
Association for Upper Canada were taken during 
the last Provincial Exhibition at Toronto, and a 
Committee was appointed, consisting of a number 
of leading fruit growers, to draft a Constitution and 
By-Laws, to be submitted to a meeting to be held 
on the third Wednesday in January. This was 
accordingly done, and an Association organized, 
hearing the name of “ The Fruit Growers’ Asso¬ 
ciation of Upper Canada,” whose objects are “the 
advancement of the science and art of fruit culture, 
by holding meetings for the exhibition of Fruits 
and the discussion of all questions relative to Fruit 
culture, by collecting, arranging and disseminating 
useful information, and such other means as may 
from time to time seem advisable.” 
The Hamilton Spectator says :— The means for 
collecting information in relation to the subject 
appear to us very simple, and likely to be efficient. 
They are the establishment in each county of sepa¬ 
rate sub-committees, to consist of the Presidents of 
the Horticultural Societies it contains, and of two 
other gentlemen who may or may not be members 
of such Societies; which Committees are to trans¬ 
mit semi-annual reports to the Central Committee. 
Thus the experience of individual fruit growers all 
over Canada may be collected and disseminated for 
the good of the whole community. Need we say 
that we wish success to an Association with such 
objects? 
The officers elected for the first year, are as fol-
