PICKING AND TRANSPORTING FRUITS. 
On thia subject wo have spoken qnite freely, 
and yet not more bo than itB importance demandB. 
We are now in the height of our peach Eeason. 
Crawford's Early are now coming in freely, and 
many cars are loaded every day for the Eastern 
market. We have taken some pains to observe 
the manner in which they ore picked and put up, 
I have several works on architecture, not one of 
which has a sett of buildings suiting me for a 
home on a choice western farm. Allen in his 
Rural Architecture has one or two, but f don’t like 
style aud appearance; neither are the arrange¬ 
ments convenient. 1 wonid like to bcc the plans 
aud perspective of a small compact cottage con¬ 
taining three or four rooms down and two rooms 
up stairs, with suitable closets, and attached to 
which was a neat wood shed and out-honaes—the 
cottage and attachments to be on the Italian style, 
or Gothic would answer. Also a neat compact 
barn of small size, to correspond with l he above. 
The representations in the first number of this 
year suit me nearer than anything I have yet 
seen; but it is altogether too expensive, and 
could not be built here for much less than three 
thousand dollars, if it could for that I want 
something that I can put up for one thousand two 
and have no hesitation in saying that one third of hundred dollars, all complete, barn and all. This 
their value is lost either by ignorance or careless¬ 
ness in packing and putting np. The greater 
portion are picked too early—hefore they attain 
proper color or flavor, and thia they never will 
is the first favor I have asked daring the five 
years that I have been a subscriber. 
I see yon have had quite au excitement relating 
to Dwarf Ream, I wish some one would give 
attain afterwards. An experienced person knows their experience relating to the same here on our 
just when a peach can be picked with safety. It western prairies, I obtained mine from onr nur- 
it has a soft plump look, and emits a delicate 
fragrance, then it is ready, although it may feel 
as hard as a Htone. But this course would cause 
trouble —the grower would have to go over ihe 
same trees several times, picking those each day 
that were in the proper condition. But, by the 
old system, the tree can be stripped at ouce, and 
thus much time and trouble saved; and as our 
shippers do not reject theso immature samples, 
there is nothing to reward the careful grower, 
while the careless receive a premium for want, of 
honesty or want of care. One great evil of this 
mode of picking is that the fruit does not ripen 
uniformly. Some specimens in a basket com¬ 
mence to decay in a day after being picked, 
while others arc hard and unfit for use. If the 
baskets or boxes were uniform in tin's repent, the 
dealers could dispose of them as fast as they 
matured, and during an over-supply many could 
be reserved for a day or two with great ad¬ 
vantage and profit, lint when each basket con¬ 
tains some fruits that will decay by keeping, all 
must be pushed upon the market at once. Tt is 
not strange therefore that eastern buyers Butfcr 
great inconvenience and loss, or that Western 
New York peaches and packers obtain a bad 
name. Bu>ers should require careful and uni¬ 
form packing, and pay for the necessary labor. 
The interests of both parties and of the trade re¬ 
quire this. The Albany Journal says that the 
daily receipts of peaches at that city by tho Cen¬ 
tral Railroad will averago forty tons, which is 
equal to a thousand packages. Of these, about 
thirty tons are sent to New York, four tons to 
Boston, and the rest are left at Albany and vi¬ 
cinity. 
AUTUMNAL BEARING STRAWBERRIES. 
Era. Rural New-Yorker: —T notice in your 
last number a statement by Mr. Z. Morse, of Wy¬ 
oming, N. Y,, that "last year Burr’s Pine Straw¬ 
berry blossomed from the middle of August to 
the middle of October,” and he asked, "if he had 
a Btaminate to fertilize them, might he not have a 
considerable second crop?” and deaireH to know 
if yon can mention a stain in ate that blossoms so 
late that he may try the experiment, Mr. M. is 
perfectly correct as to this twice-bearing 
character of Burr’s Pine, which it possesses 
in common with seveial other varieties. I 
have so stated iu my Catalogues for several 
years, and you will Bee in my present edition, 
page 8, where, in describing the “Superla¬ 
tive,” I say:—“ A seedling of Burr’s Pine, 
superior to it in productiveness aud vigor, 
aud like that, produces a moderate second 
crop in September, if Irrigated.” The "Per¬ 
fumed Pine,” another seedling of Burr’s Pine, 
possesses, I presume, the same character, and 
is a very great improvement on its parent in 
size, flavor, productiveness, and hardihood. 
The other late flowering varieties, producing 
an autumnal crop when irrigated, or when the 
season is moist, are the Prolific Hautbois, old / 
Swainstone, and the Running and Bush Al- / 
pines of the eight varieties enumerated in my M 
Catalogue. Tt may be a question whether the fM 
pollen of the Alpines would blend with jjl 
Burr’s Pine, which is of the Fraguria Vi r- t; | 
ginianc species; bat it is probable that the \'f) 
Prolific Hautbois would blend, aud the old v 
Swaiusume would most certainly fertilize, as 
it is of the same species as Burr’s Pine. This 
variety v.-ould, therefore, be a positive * eli - 
mice. It is possible that tho pollen of the 
several European species may so far fertilize 
the flowers of the American species and 
varieties as to influence the production of 
fruit; but it is a fact which 1 have positively 
proven, that the seed cannot be fertilized, as no 
hybrid plant has ever been produced. Thia pro¬ 
duction of autumual crops is perfectly feasible by 
bestowing the requisite attention, and 1 have 
known very considerable quantities of Burr’s 
Pine, aud of the Superlative, and of the Prolific

We have more than a score of readers that grow the 
Black Raspberry for market, aud quite largely. We hope 
one, at least, will answer these queries. The BUck Gap 
is quite popular among our fruit growers and dealer*, 
and is a favorite with the ladies for preserves and jams. 
They are also perfectly hardy, growing an abundant crop, 
and bearing almost as soon as planted. In obtaining 
plants from the fields, some will prove good and produc- 
wheu so desired.

PEAR CULTURE,-THE TYSON. 
Eds. IU-kal New-Yorker: — Iu your paper of 
Juno 2d, you give a description of the Tyson, 
which you say is "very tardy in fruitiug ou the 
pear root” Now, I wish to give you the result, of 
ray experience. Iri the spring of 18.18 I planted, 
among Others, a Tyson pear tree of three years’ 
growth from tho bud. 1 have just gathered from 
that tree 73 mature pears, tho largest of which 
measures G{ inches in circumference, and the 
smallest 5.J inches. The weight, of the whole is 
lOj pounds. I have, also, some Bartletts on trees 
of the same age, planted at the same time, that 
measure 9,l inches iu circumference, by inch' s 
in length, from root of stem to center of ealy x. 
I am but a beginner in fruit culture, and to me 
these facts seem quite encouraging; but whether 
I have done well or otherwise, I leave for those to 
decide who have had more experience in the 
matter. 
I forgot to mention above, what I consider to 
be quite esspnt a', that my Tyson pear tree is 
growing finely. (Several shoots, which I have 
measured, having made a growth of 32 inches 
each, in length, of strong, healthy wood, this 
season. W. Scott Hicks.
