THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
April 28 
The Loudon Again. —We neglected to 
have a drawing made of the Louden red 
raspberry as it grows in the Rural 
Grounds. Having been the first to call 
attention to it, we desire to be the first 
to present its portrait also. This we are 
enabled to do through the courtesy of 
Chas. A. Green who, as we underctand, 
will introduce it next fall, having bought 
the entire control. 
The illustration appears on page 263 — 
an excellently executed wood cut. The 
berries, as they grow with us, are not so 
large as those shown, though in a richer 
soil they may grow larger. 
We have said that the Loudon—as 
judged by its fruit during a single sea¬ 
son—will prove more valuable than the 
Cuthbert, and that is saying a great deal, 
since, up to this time, the Cuthbert, by 
general consent, stands at the head of 
the late reds. The plants seem perfectly 
hardy, and more vigorous than Cuthbert 
—the canes virtually thornless. It begins 
to ripen with Cuthbert, continuing dur¬ 
ing a longer season. The berries will 
average larger, the drupes larger and 
firmer. The berries cling to the stem 
well and never crumble. The typical 
shape seems to be broadly conical, 
though some are nearly round, and others 
more conical than those of Cuthbert 
When ready to pick, the color is a bright 
red. When dead ripe, the color is a 
darker red, but not at all purple. 
It will be seen that—if we may rely 
upon the above comparison—the Loudon 
has marked vantage characteristics over 
the old, favorite Cuthbert. 
The American Florist, in its issue of 
April 5, gives a fine illustration of the 
well-known palm Phccnix Canariensis as 
it exists in a private garden in New Or¬ 
leans. It is considered the best and 
largest specimen in the country. It covers 
an area of 100 feet, is 30 feet high and 
15 years old. It has stood a temperature 
of 16 degrees. 
If we plant Early Rose potatoes April 
1, and again May 1, all other conditions 
being the same in so far as we can make 
them so, which will yield more ? If we 
plant a late potato—Brownell’s Winner 
or Rural Blush for example—April 1 or 
15 and again May 1, which will yield 
more ? Who can tell ? Who knows ? 
Isn’t it an important question ? How 
are we to answer it ? Not, assuredly, 
by the trial of a single season. The 
R. N -Y. has planted potatoes at two or 
three different periods for 15 seasons, but 
not the same variety; not under the same 
conditions otherwise ; not with a view of 
solving this problem. Our impression, 
our belief, is that the earlier planting 
will yield more. But how much more ? 
Our experiment stations might well take 
the experiment in hand and carry it on 
for at least five seasons. The outcome 
would not be so important as to early as 
to late varieties, since we know that to 
get the earliest crop we must plant as 
early as the climate will permit. We are 
not talking about the earliest crop, but 
the largest crop. It doesn’t matter when 
late potatoes mature (does it?) so long as 
they do mature before frosts kill the 
vines. 
Another problem we would like to have 
our stations work upon is this : What 
is the difference in yield between the 
best of our early and the best of our late 
kinds ? 
We suppose that the best of the earli¬ 
est blooming hardy shrubs may be con¬ 
sidered Cornus mas., standard honey¬ 
suckles, forsythias, and finally the Japan 
quinces. These last, planted in variety, 
make the most gorgeously beautiful 
hedges while in bloom, of any plants we 
have ever seen. And thfy are in every 
way suited for hedges.

females, at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buf-

- - / Dro Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the outgrowth, or result, of 
■IT ^ this vast and valuable experience. Thousands of testimonials, received

obstinate ca.ses which had baffled their skill, prove it to lie the most wonderful 
remedy ever deviseil for the relief and cure of suffering womwi. It is not recom¬ 
mended as a “ cure-all,” but as a most perfect specific for woman’s peculiar ailments. 
The following words, in jirai.se of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, are fair samples of the 
spontaneous exjiressions with which thousands give utterance to their sense of gratitude for 
the inestimable boon of health which has been restored to them by the use of this world-famed 
medicine. 
GENERAL DECLINE. 
Mas. Alice V. Duncan, of Jfccs Tannery, Mineral County, W. Va., A 
writes: “I believe I owe my life to Dr. Pierce’s remedies. Pix or seven 
years ago. my health began to gradually fail; some of my friends as 
well as myself thought I was going into consumption. T began taking \ f 
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, ‘ Golden Medical Discovery ’ and his wm v 
‘ I’cllets,’ and was greatly benefited; took half a dozen bottles at that \ 
time, did not take any more for several years, when I Ix'gan to go down 
again. I was married November, 1889. The next September had a mis- 
carriage. The summer following my health w.as very bad; I then got * / 
one dozen bottles and took as directed. My he.alth was much improved . 
and am now the jtroud mother of a healthy boy twenty-two months old. ^

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE. 
Many times women call on their family jihysicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, 
another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, another with pain here and there, and in this 
way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for 
which he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all only symptoms caused by some womb 
disorder. The jibysician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. The suffering patient 
gets no better, but probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A projjer medicine, like 
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed tho disease, thereby dispelling all those 
distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery.
