CONTINUED, 
A correspondent of the London Pharma- 
ceutical Journal writes:—“ Being anxious to 
discover some means by which the color could 
be restored that had been extracted from aviolet 
silk dress by acid-juice having been accidentally 
thrown upon it, I applied to more than one 
chemist and druggist, thinking there must be 
some chemical agent which would restore violet, 
as spirit of hartshorn, it is well known, will 
restore black. 
Not being able to obtain any information on 
the subject, 1 thought of trying some experi¬ 
ments for myself; the first, proving successful, 
may be worth recording, if only to amuse the 
more learned with an account of the simple 
attempts of an amateur. 
Having recently superintended the *iodine 
process 7 for annihilating a blot of marking-ink 
from linen, it occurred tojne to lry it on violet 
silk; the plan I adopted is as follows, and will 
Philadelphia Paspberry.— Parry of Now 
Jersey.—It originated in the county of Phila¬ 
delphia. It is hardy—perfectly hardy—both in 
winter and summer. I have it, planted in all 
situations. Its crop is uniformly large. I have 
never protected it. The cane is strong, up¬ 
right, smooth, purple in color. It propagates 
by sprouts from the roots—does not sprout from 
the tips of canes. It bears its fruit upright. It 
is productive—the second year after planting 
yielding for me 220 bushels per acre. The fruit 
Is large—not equal in flavor to some other varie¬ 
ties—red—darker than the Red Antwerp—firm 
for carriage, and sells well. It is larger than 
the Purple Cane, a firmer fruit, but not so early. 
It is the only fruit we ever had that would yield 
more per acre than the strawberry, with half 
the labor attending its production. It is said 
that it was taken from the woods in 1888, in 
Philadelphia county, now embraced in the city 
of Philadelphia, by F. Dkdaker, and planted 
in his garden. " '

DR. TRIMBLE AND THE APPLE-MOTH. 
Eds. Rural New Yorkbr 
In me report 
of some r* marks of mine before the late Am, r- 
ican Pomologieal Convention, as published in 
your paper, there ls an error that should be cor¬ 
rected before tbe proceedings are published 
officially. In speakingof tbe coil of hay rope as 
a trap for the larva of the apple moth, I stated 
that on one apple tree 1 h id found ninety-seven 
(!>7) at one time. I think the report In the 
Rural says eight (8)—this is a difference that 
will take from the hay contrivance most of its 
merit. In looking over my diary to-day I find 
that the number caught on that tree, by this 
one hay trap, is nearly two hundred (200); and 
by a very careful examination within a few days 
of the body ot that tree, belli above and below 
the trap, but one could be found that had taken 
refuge under the rough bark, excepting under 
this hay band. On neighboring trees—both 
apple and pear—that are old enough to have 
scales o' rough bark, great numbers of these 
larvae can now be found.

It is rather slow to propagate. 
Tt. seems to me a little strange 
-dx years such a raspberry 
should be grown, and yet its merits not have 
been discovered. I fancy I have had it many 
years. There are better and larger berries. 
Where the Hornet, Briukle’s Orange and Fran¬ 
conia can not be grown, it will do to plant the 
Philadelphia. 
Bergen of New York.— When I first knew 
about raspberry culture, the berry sent to New 
York was the Purple Cane—that alone. Forty 
years ago a raspberry was grown which an- 
swers the description given of the Philadelphia. 
It propagated In the same way, except it prop¬ 
agated readily from roots. This superoeded the 
Purple Cane for twenty jears in the market. 
But it finally went out of cultivation because it. 
began to winter-kill. It was known as the Red 
raspberry. 
Price of I’a. — Who knows about Allen's 
raspberry t It brought, when first introduced 
into Philadelphia, eight cents per quart. 
Knox. — I have three favorite varieties. I 
put Brinkle’s Orange down as best. Franconia, 
next, is a large, red raspberry, good flavor, hard 
berry; It canes well and is profitable. Third 
i® tlie Improved American Black Cap. It grows 
popular, and I find it is difficult to supply the 
market demand for it. Next, 1 place the Hor¬ 
net, Pilot, Imperial, Souehetti and Jonet. The 
Hornet is the largest berry I know of, and a 
beautiful trait. It has not so good flavor as 
some others. Sonehetti is white, and has a fine 
flavor, Jonet is white, solid, and not so 
large. All of these do well with me, 
DISCUSSION ON STRAWBERRIES. 
Knox of Pa.—It is or ought to be well known 
that varieties deteriorate, and their value de¬ 
pends upon locality and cultivation. The Tri- 
omphe de Hand is and has been my favorite 
strawberry. It is profitable as a market fruit. 
It does not yield as great a number of bushels 
per acre as Wilson’s Albany, but it affords me a 
greater profit Wilson’s Is an excellent fruit for 
canning—ought not to be planted for a table 
fruit. 
In selecting varieties, we ought to seek to 
cover the season. I cultivate the Baltimore 
Scarlet, Burr’s New Pine, Jenny Lind and 
Golden Season (Seedling?) The last named is 
excellent, and has been too much overlooked. 
It is a Canadian berry. I think it folly to 
cultivate hundreds of varieties. My aim is to 
find which are best adapted to my soil, location, 
the market demand, and fill out the season, i 
should not like to be without Burr’s New Pine, 
Jenny Lind and Goldeu Season (Seedling ?) The 
last I regard best. The FiLlmore has been 
strangely overlooked. The RuesdPs Prolific is 
of great worth. Shall plant it largely. Trot-

sometimes flooded in summer—during drouth or 
to destroy worms. This is an important con¬ 
sideration in the preparation of a yard. The 
varieties cultivated generally are the Large 
Cherry, Bugle and Bell. The last named is the 
best variety. 
Hovrt of Mass.—On swamp lands where 
they can be flooded, cranberry culture succeeds. 
They can be grown on uplands for farm use, 
but not profitably for market. Flooding is 
necessary for the reasons named—to retard blos¬ 
soming and destroy worms. And it is an ex¬ 
ceedingly profitable crop. I know a man who 
gets $1,000 per acre annually for his cranberry 
crop. 
At this point the Committee on Resolutions 
made a report, in part, and asked to be and were 
continued. Our notes contain no notice of the 
final report; and neither the Secretary nor re¬ 
porter have it. 
The report ol the Committee on New Fruits 
was presented and accepted. 
Letters were read from Dr. H. Shrucdkr of 
Bloomington Ill., and V. P. Pierce of the Dis¬ 
trict of Columbia. 
POMOLOGICAL GOSSIP, 
A New Pear.— Mr. Geo. L. Barker of New 
Lebanon, has presented to us a seedling pear, 
grown from the seed planted in 13ij, by Mrs. 
Mary V. Gilbert at Lebanon Centre, Colum¬ 
bia Co., N. Y., which she has named the “Yon¬ 
der pool.” The pear is of medium size in good 
seasons—of a fine orange color, when ripe_en¬ 
tirely free from the lichen or black fungus, so 
fatal to many of our best fruits. It is of the 
melting or buttery variety, strongly resembling 
the Virgalloa or White Doyenne,"and it is the 
opinion of many of our best pomologieal con¬ 
noisseurs to whom it has been subjected, that 
it will prove a valuable substitute for the Virga- 
lieu or Doyenne; now so nearly becoming ex¬ 
tinct at the Last, from the prevalence of that 
parasite the lichen. The tree, as represented 
by those who have examined it, exhibits strong 
evidence of its being an original seedling 
vai ietv, from the peculiarity of its growth and 
the thorny aud spurry limbs.— l. b. l. 
The French Seedling Strawberry,—We saw 
the French Seedling at several establishments 
with different soils the first season, and on all 
it surpasses in good qualities ail the praise here¬ 
tofore lavished upon it. It is of thrifty growth, 
sustaining itself in summer's drought and win¬ 
ter’s cold without injury. It is immensely 
productive; the fruit ripens early, is of large 
size and tine form, a shining scarlet color, and 
of the highest flavor .—Oulturist for September.
