Weak Nerves 
“Resolves” of Delaware Fruitmen. 
W. W., Dover, Del,. —At the recent 
annual meeting of the Peninsula Horti¬ 
cultural Society, Dr. John J. Block of 
New Castle read a paper in which he 
showed clearly that fruit growers must 
adopt the most improved methods of cul¬ 
tivation, picking and marketing of fruit; 
that they must take measures to stamp 
out all plant diseases, to quarantine 
against insect pests, and to use every 
means within reach to put horticulture 
upon a business basis. He offered the 
following resolution which was adopted: 
Whereas, it is evident to the most casual observer 
that the fruit interests of the Delaware and 
Chesapeake Peninsula are in a condition giving 
little profit and less encouragement to the pro¬ 
ducer, the cause of this condition being, in the 
opinion of this Society, the retention of old 
methods of cultivation, picking and marketing 
and the general neglect of the removal and abso¬ 
lute destruction of all diseased trees, parts of 
trees and bushes. 
Whereas, By an adoption of modern methods, 
we see a bright future for Peninsula fruit culture 
and with larger returns to all engaged in the 
business and a radical advance in the price of 
our Peninsula land 
Wherefore, Be it resolved that the Society recom¬ 
mend that the most radical measures be taken to 
rid this Peninsula of all diseased stock, and to 
prevent its importation hither, and we do most 
emphatically recommend to all growers, strict 
attention to details in all their business, that they 
make radical changes in marketing, reducing the 
size of packages when necessary, that they use 
very generally the California methods, and that 
especially in seasons of plenty, all products be¬ 
low the better grades be used as by-products, 
marketing no premature or imperfect fruit of any 
kind. Doing this, we feel sure, will once more 
bring the business to a very profitable and paying 
basis, and happiness and wealth to our people. 
A Boy's Tomato Crop. 
S. P., Stockdale, Kan. —On page 07 
of The R. N.-Y., is an article on raising 
tomato plants. I wish to say that I 
think my father and I did better than 
that on our place. We got a box about 
12x20 inches, and five inches deep, filled 
it with rich, sandy loam, and sowed the 
seeds. Livingston’s Beauty and Living¬ 
ston's Perfection were the varieties 
sown. In one corner were a dozen tree 
tomato plants. When they were all 
two inches high, before they had started 
the middle leaves, they were trans¬ 
planted into another box. We counted 
them, and there lacked only a few of 
400. In the latter half of April they 
were transplanted to the open field that 
had never been manured. They were 
set 3x5 feet, not trellised, and they mat¬ 
ted the ground. They grew finely till 
May 19, on which day they were frosted, 
and most of them killed, but were re¬ 
placed by plants under glass, and enough 
added to make 566 altogether. Besides 
what we had to eat and put up, we sold 
§78.30 worth. We set the tree tomatoes, \ 
but two of them died. Three stakes 
were driven by each of the plants. The 
stakes—not the plants—were seven feet 
long, and about two inches in diameter. 
We wrapped binding twine around the 
three stakes at each plant. We had our 
finest tomatoes from these, although we 
had some very fine ones from the others. 
Best Locality for Apples. 
C. P. A., WOODBRIDGE, CONN. —I was < 
interested in reading the opinion of apple ! 
growers as to the best locality in which 
to grow choice apples of high quality. 
The replies indicate that fine apples can 
be grown over a large area of our coun¬ 
ty. I am sure that we can grow as 
fine fruit in New Haven County, Conn., 
as can be grown anywhere ; and we can 
grow varieties here that are too tender 
for the higher land further north. No 
better fruit was ever grown than was 
grown within 10 miles of New Haven 
last season; and the only trouble was the 
great proportion of second-rate fruit, 
due to a lack of the common precautions 
against insects and fungi. Only a very 
small per cent of growers here sprayed 
their trees, and not one in fifty put his berry plants.
