that seedlings have been sent out as the to pieces when picked from the bush. 
Crandall and these seedlings vary in- The bushes can scarcely be called pro- 
definitely. Undoubtedly the variability ductive, and the fruit, if valuable at all, 
would cease if propagated from cuttings 
only—the very best of the seedlings be¬ 
ing selected for that purpose. 
The Cornell Station received plants 
of the so-called Japan Wineberry (Rubus 
phoenicolasius) from the introducer— 
John Lewis Childs—in 1890. The berries 
borne by these plants were very small— 
as raspberries go — and the pips were 
so little connected that the berries 
crumbled when picked. They were 
“cherry-red in color, acrid, with little 
pronounced flavor. It has little in size,, 
appearance or quality to recommend it.” 
If grown from seed the Wineberry, the 
same as the Crandall currant, will vary 
more or less. The plants of the Wine¬ 
berry—both those received from Ell- 
wanger & Barry and Mr. Childs—grew 
thriftily the first year and bore abund¬ 
antly. All are now dead and we can not 
regard the species as hardy. 
Simon’s Blum (Prunus Simonii) was 
planted at the Rural Grounds about 10 
years ago. After fruiting it for several 
seasons, it was destroyed as inferior in 
quality to older kinds. Prof. Bailey says 
that this is wholly distinct from any 
other &tone fruit. It is not a hybrid, he 
says, between the plum and apricot as 
some have supposed, but belongs to the 
peach section of the genus Prunus, al¬ 
though it is more plum than peach in 
character of fruit and habit of tree. He 
concludes it iB worthless for orchard 
cultivation in New York, though it is 
praised as grown in California.

one of the many examples of over-adver¬

-Henry Stewart : “ The truth is that 
hard times, depressed agriculture, dear 
money, debt, poverty and dissatisfaction 
are all the unavoidable results of poor, 
ineffective work and waste of labor and 
resources. And there is but one remedy, 
and that is within the reach of every dis¬ 
satisfied man.” 
-Secretary E. Williams in Garden 
and Forest: “If we could secure a 
blackcap raspberry with the quality of 
Soubegan or Carman and the size of 
Gregg, with perfect hardiness, we should 
have all that can reasonably he hoped 
far I am confident that this perfect 
berry will come sooner or later.” 
-F. W. SemperS : “In manuring with 
commercial fertilizers as practiced by 
American farmers to-day, the probable 
average application does not exceed 400 
pounds per acre. There are 7,000 grains 
in a pound, and nearly 6,275,000 square 
inches in an acre. At this rate there is 
less than one-half grain of fertilizer for 
each square inch of soil.” 
-Peabody : “No man can so put him¬ 
self into another’s place as to see what 
is best for him.” 
“ Reformers of every class and descrip¬ 
tion need to know what force there is in 
sweetness; what might in meekness; 
what penetrating power in a spirit no 
less gentle than resolute.”
