FRUIT GROWERS* ASSOCIATION. 
SUMMER MEETING. 
The Fruit Growers’ Association of Western 
New York held its Summer Meeting at Rochester, 
on the 18th and 19th of September. The Conven¬ 
tion was well attended, not only by gentlemen re¬ 
siding in the Western part of the State, but by 
several from Cent.ral and Eastern New York, and 
irorn other States. A Committee was appointed 
to prepare questions for discussion, and these 
subjects are presented in the order in which they 
were discussed. A committee whb also appointed 
to examine and report on the fruit exhibited. 
The President, J. J. Thomas, of Union Springs, 
occupied the chair. 
What is the cause of the Cracking of the Pear, and of 
the Leaf Plight, (so called) f What varieties among 
our best Pears are most subject (o it, and what most 
exempt ) 
H. E. Hooker, of Rochester, knew something of 
both diseases—the leaf blight and the cracking of 
pears,—but knew nothing of theremedy. Did not 
know for a certainty that-there was any connection 
between the two. Tbe leaf blight wrb moat severe 
on young trees in the seed bed and in nursery 
row?, but sometimes attacked trees in the orchard. 
Some varieties appeared more liable to crack than 
others, yet varieties that crack one year are often 
exempt the next. Had never known the Bartlett 
or Flemish Beauty, and some other varieties, to 
crack. 
Mr. P. Townsend, of Lockport, stated that np to 
the 6 th of the present month the weather wasvery 
fuvoiable to the growth of trees, but at that time 
a change occurred, and the atmosphere then 
assumed that peculiar character which is supposed 
ta cause grapes to mildew. On the morning of 
the Gth inst. found tbe bearing trees of Beurre Diel 
affected with the leaf blight for the first time this 
season. The two-year old nursery trees were not 
affected. Previous to this had seen no indication 
of cracking in the fruit, but the pears soon crack- 
for a chance to bud. Stocks that bad not blight¬ 
ed in the seed bed, would not be likely to blight 
in nursery rows until soma weeks later if st all. 
Mr. Townsend had raised a bed of pear seed¬ 
lings, where tbe ground was rather low, and the 
leaf blight commenced with the seedlings on tin's 
ground, and, for a time, this low spot was as well 
defined by the bllghtasit could have been bystand¬ 
ing water, but it finally spread over the whole bed. 
Mr. Lanowortuy inquired if no remedy had 
been discovered, or something that would, at least, 
cheek the disease. 
Mr. Thomas Baid that, attempts had been made 
to arrest, and prevent the disease by washes. Mr. 
Hoyky was once sanguine that he bad found a 
remedy. Zkka Burr, of Pcrinton, ouoe informed 
him that he was on the right track; but we heard 
no more of these remedies and lie supposed they 
may be pronounced failures. 
Mr. Townsend had tried was ies made of lime, 
plaster and salt The first two did no good, and 
tbe last destroyed the leaves. 
Mr. Barry thought all the advice we were now 
prepared to give was to plant those varieties of 
the pear that were the least liable to crack. 
Mr. Bbrckmans, of Now Jersey, and formerly 
of Belgium, state* that in Belgium the leaf bligot. 
is Quknown, but in wet seasons the fruit cracks — 
Bat, it they have twenty oaysia a summer without 
rain. In Belgium, it is called a dry one. 
The following gentlemen were appointed a com¬ 
mittee to investigate the subject and report at the 
next meeting of the Convention:—R, It. Scott, 
Rochester; I. Hildreth, Big Stream Point; W. T. 
Smith, Geneva; H, E. Hooker, Rochester; T. G. 
Yeomans, Walworth; p. Barry, Rochester; L. E. 
erckmaoB, New Jersey. 
H hat are the comparative advantages of raising nursery 
trees an fresh sods previously unoccupied with trees, 
over cultivating them on Soils, which have been repeal - 
edty occupied with such trees, and the fertility main¬ 
tained by heavy manuring j 
Char. Downing, of Newburgh, had no experi¬ 
ence with very new land, but found he had to 
manure very highly to raise a second crop on the 
same land. 
H. E. Hooker had some experience with both. 
Had seen as good trees raised on land that Lad 
been in nursery culture for 15 or 20 years, as on 
new land. Had no f.iith in the exhaustion of the 
soil for trees. Could not grow apple trees after 
apple trees, but after a year or two of rest, the 
land being laid down to corn or grass it will do 
again. Snbsoiling, manuring, &c., will make the 
land as good as new. 
Mr. Downing bad planted corn and potatoes,

f and about the same distance in the rows. For

wires from post to post, t,o which the bearing 
canes should be tied. In the spring cut the oanes 
: back to about five feet, and also shorten the lat- 
erflis to five or six buds, or they became so heavy 
wnh the weight of fruit as to break from the cane, 
t Ihe blackberry fills a vacancy between raspber¬ 
ries and peaches. Had picked over 400 berries 
from one plant. After bearing is over the canes 
may be untied from the wires and allowed to fall 
by their own weight When fully riDe the fruit 
was good, but persons often picked it before ripe. 
( harles Hooker, of Rochester, said his plauts 
were frozen l ack last w nter; oafr the tops, how¬ 
ever. were injured. It was difficult 'o tell when 
the fruit was ripe, as it was quite sour long after 
it tarnea black. 
Mr. Hoag slid the frnit, should hang for several 
days after turning black. Ricked several quarts 
of fine frnit last week. 
Mr. Barry thought that from its tenderness it 
was as little calculated for shipment as the rasp- 
berry. The High Busb, or Dorchester, was of bet¬ 
ter Savor, firmer, and nearly or quite as 1 rge and 
prqdaetivA. TtiiB at least was the character of the 
fruits as proved on their grounds. 
L. P. Bissei.i, stated that several persons in his 
neighborhood had abandoned tbe Dorchester on

being called upou to give the Convention tbe ben¬

toe New Rochelle or Lawton was the largest and 
bore the best or os, ihe Dorchester was sweeter 
and of better flavor, but not so productive, aud the 
Newman blackberry was sweeter thin cither, but 
not very productive. On motion of JoSBra Frost

crop of trees, and is much used in Belgium, though 
very dear. In this country it is cheap and could 
be used to advantage. Used it himself for his 
trees, and had in some cases given them a little 
too much. 
Mr. Barry thought the growers of pot plants 
showed us m very useful lesson. They would send 
a hundred miles to obtAiu a new fresh soil from a 
pasture, or the corners of the fence, or the woods. 
T. C. Maxwrm, of Geneva, last fall dug 3 block 
of cherry seedlings grown on land that Lad been 
one-half previously used for dwarf pears, and the 
other half cherries. The seedlings from the pear 
ground were double tbe size of those from the 
old cherry ground. Have now a splendid growth 
of cherrieB after peaches. 
Can the rear on Quince stock be cultivated advantage- 
ously on a large scale Jor market t 
J. J. Thomas said the most remarkable orchard 
in Wayne county was tbe dwarf pear orchard of 
T. G. Yeomans of Walworth. He b3d succeeded 
admirably with the Duchesse de Angouleme, bnt 
not as well with the White Doyenne, fie ex¬ 
amined the bearing trees on the grounds of Ell- 
waxukk A Barry. On one half acre stood 5D0 
trees of the White Doyenne, six years old, and he 
had made a carefully low estimate of the fruit now 
on the trees, and would slate at 60 bushels, though 
he had no doubt it was more. These, if sold at 
the low price, of $3 a bushel, would certainly yield 
most of the trees produced from a bushel to a 
bushel aud a half. With good cultivation nothing 
could be more profitable than raising pears. 
Mr. InoMASssid people must learn to give their 
trees good culture. There seemed to be general 
understanding that trees must be neglected. Em¬ 
ploy a laborer to hoe <Ar cultivate the garden aud 
grounds, and unless you give him especial direc¬ 
tions, he will not work within six feet of a tree. 
Mr. Smith, of Geneva, saw dwarf pear trees in 
France aa large as any one could desire,—as 1 .rge 
as most of our standards hut they gave their trees 
a soil five or six feet deep, and rich. 
when a large tree is taken up, so many of the roots 
are broken off that the tree starves before new 
roots ere formed to furnish it sustenance. 
Mr. Barry was glad to hear this question dis¬ 
cussed. No doubt tnousands of trees are destroyed 
by beiDg removed too large. A young tree is 
checked bat little by teraovjil, and soon common- 
ces hr growth. It would be well to be definite in 
our discussions. T'be question way, a<>n is 
otsl. For the pear, cherry and plum, two years 
was old enough, and if persons wished a model 
Orchard, trees of one ye n old would be better — 
Apples at three years old uro suitable for trans¬ 
planting, though four years is not too old. Some 
varieties .ire larger at three than some others are 
at lour years. 
Mr. Hooker would prefer two year old trees 
even tor a model orchard. When trees one year 
old are transplanted aud cut back they throw out 
very weak branches. 
Mr. Barry hud found this to bo the case. A I

The crop on some ther varieties, and on other

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON FRUIT EXHIBITED. 
The Committee appointed as the opening of the 
Convention to examine the fruits on exhibition 
made the following report:

at least, not so baslly as the Oidiums or white spe¬ 
cies, but is confidently believed that eurly and ju¬ 
dicious applications of sulphur will counteractthe 
progress of this pest 
J. J. Thomas, of Union Springs, could tell what 
be did not know about these things. Had thought 
it was a fungus, but could not discover by a pow¬ 
erful microscope auy distinct plants. Blight oi 
the leaf and cracking of tho fruit generally go to¬ 
gether, though sometimes and particularly in wet 
seasons the fruit will crack on healthy, vigorous 
trees. Planted a small Virgalieu Pear tree on his 
grouuds and on a new aoil, and the first crop 
spotted and cracked, but the fruit ever since has 
been fair and good. Ncvor knew Beurre d' Amaulls 
to crack or Ananas d’ Ete, in fact, the Bartlett 
and other strong growiug sorts seldom crack._ 
Flemish Beauty never cracks, although it some¬ 
times loses its leaves. Thought that the leaf 
blight might be a fungus like tho Rust in wheat, 
but never could discover a distinct plant as can be 
done iu wheat rust. It may, however, be some¬ 
what similar and propagated in the same way by 
sap and through the pores. 
Mr. Hooker found that pear stocks that had

to a bushel. Saw several specimens that weighed 
over a pound. 1 hey were aU tho Duchesse de 
Angouleme, and thought they were ns sure as the 
potato crop, 
H. N. La no worthy Inquired if the Duchesse 
dc Augouieme w.as adapted to this climate, and to 
light land, as he had not snooeded with it. 
Mr. Ellwanger inquired If Mr. Lanowobtoy 
had grown it on pear stock, and being answered 
in the affirmative, stated that this variety never 
did well ou the pear stock. 
Mr. Townsend stated that seveu years since he 
commenced raising trees. A quantity of quince 
stocks were imported aud set in the usaul manner 
—in nuraory rowa, and budded with Pears. At 
the age of one year, one-hair tho pear trees wore 
dug out. Ho then determined to leave the balance 
in Htich a uintiner that the ground might b$ ocou- 
pied by a pear orchard, which was done by re¬ 
moving two rows aud leaving one, which made the 
distance 10 feet, between the rows. The rows thus 
the wind, convenience in gathering the fruit, and 
protection to the trunks—all those were questions 
that needed consideration. The ordinary method 
of pruning up to a single stem six feet high, and 
then forming the head, would not answer as well 
tor tho pear aa tor the apple. The exposed trunk 
is very apt to become injured by the suu and the 
frosts of our Bevere and changeable winters. By 
allowing the branches to grow from near the 
ground the trunk is well protected. During high 
winds trees with toll stems are very much exposed. 
Iu the pyramidal form this is prevented, as the 
heaviest part of the treo is near the ground. It 
needed no argument to show that it was much 
more convenient to pick the fruit when the tree 
was grown iu this form. Then, it is the natural 
term, for in niue cases out of ten young trees 
would assume this form if they had room to do so. 
Trees grown in this way also bear fruit earlier, and 
grow erect instead of leantng on one side as all 
high headed trees do. For these reasons Hr. B, 
preferred the pyramidal form for either dwarf oi 
standard pear trees. 
Ms. H. E. Hookkr would not differ much from 
Mr. Barry, except he would recommend to prun - 
up a short distance, so that the ground uuder the 
treo could be kept cultivated by the plow aud oul- 
uvator. To have, a tree branch from the ground 
was quite an inconvenience iu cultivating. The 
pruning up should be gradual, aud when done 
leave a clean stem or about two feet. Eveu then
