Eds. Rural New-Yorker In your issue of 
Jan. 31st, is an article under the Horticultural 
head, the commencement of which conveys (I 
think,) some wrong impressions, and is calcu¬ 
lated to discourage the planting of forest trees. 
“ Maples from a thick growth in a grove—tall, 
smooth bodies,” &e., are the kind most avail¬ 
able here. Taking off the tops is a necessary 
procedure and will in the end result in much 
finer trees. 
The assertion that only one per cent, of the 
trees planted in this manner might , in a wet and 
warm season, push out tops and become beauti¬ 
ful trees, but that in most cases, especially if 
planted late, no such result would follow, is cer¬ 
tainly an extravagant one and wholly unwarrant¬ 
ed by the facts. If such were the case, but few 
would be encouraged to plant trees, and especi¬ 
ally by (he roadside. On the contrary, my 
experience and observation warrant me in say¬ 
ing that three-fourths , if not nine-tenths of all the 
trees planted in this w’ay do live and flourish, 
though many of them are not. planted with 
the greatest care and do not receive the best 
attention. 
South of Seneca Falls —the most enterprising 
village in Western Now York —may be seen 
hundreds, if not thousands, of roadside trees 
(soft and sugar maples,) all planted within a few 
years, all of the tall slender sort, with abbrevi¬ 
ated roots and beheaded tops, and all of them 
beautiful trees, which are now annually crowned 
w ith a coronet of bright green leaves. Not “ one 
per cent.” died. So much for observation. 
Now permit the use of the personal pronoun 
while I give a little experience. In the spring of 
1859 I purchased of a neighbor some thirty trees 
(soft maples,) and started with hands and tools 
to dig them. After proceeding about three 
miles, with a team, we struck—not tie —but 
mud. A quarter of a mile further brought us 
to the head of team “navigations' when we 
struck out on foot. The trees were due- and 
Failure of Peach Crop. 
Topic. — What is the canse or causes of the failure 
of the peach crop in Western New YorkY And what 
is the best course, to remedy the evil ? 
J. J. Thomas. — The flrst cause of failure in 
Western New York is the want of trees. The 
second cause is want of good cultivation. It 
iB rarely the case that we see them cultivated 
at all. The third cause is our severe winters. 
The remedy is to select suitable sites along the 
borders of our non-freezing waters; or select 
the tops of ridges and bills away from the 
water, getting above the frost line. The pro¬ 
tection of peach trees in winter is important. 
It is often the ease that the lower branches of 
low headed trees are covered up by the snow. 
In such cases those thus protected bore peaches 
when the balance of thd tree boro none. I have 
seen them protected by corn stalks and thus 
saved. Evergreen boughs would make a good 
protection. If the branches arc far from the 
ground the buds are not easily protected. As 
far north as Plattsburgh, N. .Y., a gentleman 
said he eould protect his peach trees with ever¬ 
green boughs and get good crops. Curl in 
the leaf is another cause of failure. Good culti¬ 
vation and thorough pruning is a remedy for it. 
Moodt.—I think the failures of the peach 
crop in Niagara County, are more frequent than 
twenty years ago. A great amount of timber 
has been taken off the country in that time, 
which afforded protection. Wc should plant 
evergreens about our orchards. Protected trees 
have borne when others have not. My orchards 
when protected tlid not have the curled leaf. In 
this part of the country elevated ground is no 
better, that I know of, than the level country. 
The degree of cold has not been Ihc cause of the 
destruction of crops. When wind accompanies 
a less degree of cold there is more danger, 
When air is still, a greater degree of cold will not 
injure the buds. Trees always do better trained 
low and well cultivated. We must protect them. 
Dr. Sylvester.— I think the chief cause of 
failure has been owing to the degree of cold in 
winter, which froze the bud—although the trees 
sometimes blossom after they arc severely in¬ 
jured. When wind accompanies cold the danger 
is greater. A very severe late frost in spring 
destroys our crop, but it is not often the ease. 
I recall one instance of this kind. It occurred 
about the Pith of May. I had two orchards. 
The trees were in full bloom. There wns a very 
cold night, and I tried to save the fruit in one 
orchard. Got help and built tires throughout 
the orchard. At 12 o’clock M., the thermome¬ 
ter stood 32 deg. above zero. I had a very fair 
crop of peaches in tills orchard. The other had 
no crop, though it was better protected. The 
neighbors laughed at me for trying “to warm 
all out doors,” called it " book farming,” &c. 
but when I got $3 per bushel for my crop in the 
fall, and they had none to sell, they 11 saw the 
point. I think the curl in the leaf is caused 
by cold wiuds. Protection, by the planting of 
timber belts, may be a remedy. 
H. E. Hooker.—T he question of the selection 
of varieties of peaches is a good one to consider 
in this connection. Some varieties produce when 
there is a general lailure. Something is due to 
the hardiness of sorts. I have not been able to 
grow peaches in my garden later years, while 
jears ago we used to have them every year. 
Year before last a lot of trees of Hale’s Early, 
were heeled in lato iu the season, and I found on 
them beautiful specimens of peaches. They had 
been transplanted twice, and I don’t kuow but 
the frequent transplanting supplied them with 
fibrous aud hardy roots.

difference in the hardiness of different varieties

TO CULTIVATE CUCUMBERS. 
Eds. Rural New-Yorkjer : — As I have not 
seen this mode of cultivating encumbers in print, 
I will send it. I have tried it with good effect. 
Take a tight barrel with one bead, and make 
some eight or ten holes, at the bulge of the 
barrel, with a small bit—say % of an inch — and 
sink the barrel iu the ground level with the sur¬ 
face of the ground. Then fill the barrel with 
stone up as high as the holes, and put on about 
4 inches of straw; theu fllinp the balance with 
good, rich loam, and fill the barrel up with water 
and plant plenty of seed so that you can thin 
them out to six or eight stalks. In case of 
drouth put a pail of water in the barrel about 
once a week. I raised off three barrels, planted 
this, way over four barrels of pickles; and if they 
are well watered, through bearing season, they 
will bear well until the frost kills the vines. 
One needs a scaffold to let the vines run on : 
Say, take four poles, ten feet long, and set them 
about four feet apart with one cud on the ground, 
and raise the other some five feet high with 
pieces of lath or brush laid across, and I will in¬ 
sure that you will have no crooked cucumbers.

OSAGE ORANGE IN ILLINOIS, 
ers oi mmols would soon be engugod iu plant¬ 
ing miles of Osage Orange Hedges, I thought a 
few hints iu regal'd to planting, and care after 
planting, might be of service to some. 
Prepare the ground by plowing a strip about 
six feet wide, thoroughly and deeply, then 
strike a deep furrow in the center of the 
plowing, in which to put the plants; theu put 
in the plants deep enough down, so that 
that the tops will just stick out above ground. 
Have a pail of water along and wet each plant 
before setting it, then cover the roots nicely 
with line dirt, enough to hold it firmly in its 
place. Then plow another furrow, and finish 
covering Ihc plants. 
Before setting the plants, have them divided 
into three classes, tbe large ones, the middling, 
and the small ones; set each elass by itself, and 
theu the hedge will grow uniformly even. Set 
the plants not more than six Inches apart. 
Cultivate the ground thoroughly during the 
summer and keep the young hedge free from 
weeds. In tbe fall trim the hedge down to 
within six inches of the ground and cover the 
hedge well with half rotten straw or something 
of that sort. 
The next spring, if any plants should bo dead 
or missing, supply their places with large, 
thrifty plants. 
Plants should be set early in the spring just as 
soon as the ground is in a good working condi¬ 
tion. 
Hedges should be well taken care of until 
they are sufficient for a fence. The best time
