were identical, and others who had seen both, 
said no. 
2. The Rural New-Yorker does not report 
the Western New York Fruit Growers’ Society 
as saying anything about the Buffalo Seedling at 
its Summer meeting, because the fruit was not 
named lit that meeting. 
Now did X. sit down and deliberately lie when 
he wrote the above delicious morsel, with a 
strawberry flavor, for the Ohio Farmer? We 
honestly think so, and that he wants to sell 
something, or somebody, badly. 
BeUc Lucrative— Barry.— Is there anything to 
be said against it? 
Sylvester. —It is a pear of the first quality. 
But I must say that only two varieties of the 
pear have blighted with me, and this is one of 
the two. 
Salter.— It bcar3 well, and is the best in 
quality of any in its season. It is apt to over¬ 
bear—requires thinning. 
Bronson. —It is variable with us—sometimes 
“ best,” and sometimes worthless. I cannot 
account for it. On the same tree it is variable. 
Fisu.—It improves as the tree gets age. It is 
variable at first, bnt as the tree grows older, the 
fruit is more uniform. 
Hooker.— It seems to vary in quality without 
any apparent good reason. 
Lay.— I have uever failed to get first rate good 
pears in size and flavor; never knew it to crack. 
Salter.— I think its variableness is due to 
over-cropping — to taxing the tree too much. 
Beurre Anjou— Sylvester.— I think highly 
of this pear; it is smooth, fair and good flavor. 
Moody.— It is one of the kinds exempt from 
blight with us. It is a very good pear indeed. 
Barry.— It is excellent. 
Fish.—I have fruited it several years, and 
never had a good specimen. It is tasteless. 
Ellwanger. — The tree requires age; the 
older the tree the better the fruit. 
Beurre Biel— Hooker.— This pear comes at a 
season when we have few good pears—later than 
the fine sorts. It has a pleasnut flavor, though 
the flesh is coarse and gritty. But taking size, 
handsome color and flavor into the account, 
together with the season at which it matures, it 
is worthy of cultivation. It is is only moder¬ 
ately productive on young trees and the qnince; 
on older and standard trees it is likely to over¬ 
bear. 
Olmstead. —It is one of the best, and a valu¬ 
able late autumn pear. I think highly of it 
Sharped —The tree is a very strong grower, 
| handsome, and an abundant bearer. We have 
trees planted six years. The fifth year after 
planting, we got a barrel of fruit off from some 
of them. It spots some, otherwise valuable. I 
got ?1S per barrel for it in New York city. But 
I shall not plant it largely because it spots. 
Other varieties brought me $24 per barrel. 
Neighbors four or five miles from me get it 
without spots. The Lawrence brought me the 
highest price in market. 
Barry.— As a late autumn variety it is most 
valuabte, because it keeps all through Novem¬ 
ber when other varieties are out of market. 
<5>7ieWo»—H ooker.—I wish to inquire if this 
pear is attractive enough in appearance to com¬ 
mand quick sale in market. 
Sylvester.— It has been sent to market from 
onr place, and brought a good price. Its rus- 
setty appearance Is against Us sale until it gets 
known. It sells a little better than the average. 
The tree is hardy, vigorous, and the fruit uniform 
in size and large. It is all right except being 
rnesetty. When known in market it will sell. 
Duchesse <T Attgouleme .— Only commendations 
for this variety. 
Louise Bonne de Jersey — Fish.— I have won¬ 
dered many years that it has been as popular as 
it is. I never had a good specimen of it to 
my knowledge. It is too acid. It is large and 
handsome and sells well. 
Hooker.— I have found it to stand the blight 
and other calamities that have happened to my 
orchard better than any other variety. Its qual¬ 
ity is such that it is sought for. I prefer it to a 
sweeter pear. 
Thomas.—W o are not going to get rid of it 
for 6ome time. It bears largely, and is hand¬ 
some. Its quality is not the highest, bnt it is an 
excellent pear to cultivate. I place it among 
pears where the Coueord is among grapes. 
Sharpe.— I ask my customers what tree is 
most profitable, and they tell me the Louise 
Bonne de Jersey. I never had a poor pear of 
it yet. 
Moore.—I never had a pear of this variety of 
very good flavor. Mine are grown on quince. 
Ellwaxger.— I think highly of it, and in¬ 
dorse what friends Hooker and Thomas say 
of it. When it has a red cheek, it is excellent 
eating. 
Hooker.—I sold them readily in the garden at 
$4 per bushel. 
Barky. —I think so highly of it I have planted 
several hundred trees for my garden. 
Fisher.— It has been one of the best and most 
profitable pears with me. I think it depreciates 
its quality too low to class It among pears as I 
class the Concord among grapes, 
Salter.—I have 810 trees of it just coming 
into bearing. It only overbears —it is its only 
fault. 
Moody.— The quality of overbearing is one of 
the best qualities, because the orcliardist can 
thin the fruit and distribute it through the tree 
evenly, and have it ripened up well. This pear 
is an excellent and profitable one.

Basket Osier Willow Culture.— C. E. Bloss, 
Detroit. Mich., asks for the address of gome one who 
cultivates the basket willow. In answer to other in¬ 
quiries we say that the ground selected for its culture 
should be moist, rich, and in good tilth when the cut¬ 
tings are planted. Wc have seen them planted in 
each soil, in rows four feet apart and the cuttings six 
inches apart in the row, and the ground kept dean 
with the plow and cultivator, and thoroughly manured 
each year by mulching in fall and plowing under in 
spring. In this way enormous crops of a fine quality 
of willow were produced.

FRUIT It, ORNAMENTAL TREES! 
For Spring of 1SS5. 
Ellwanger A; Barry 
Ellwangkr.— Mr. Hoag did not pick early 
enough. It should be picked some days before 
it is ripe. 
Barra’. — All the summer pears should be 
picked early. Osband’s Sommer should be 
picked as soon as it begins to color. 
Fish.—I have never known Osband’s Sum¬ 
mer to rot at the core, though left on the tree 
late. It is a good bearer. 
Hooker. —Osband’s Summer has little char¬ 
acter. 
Ellwaxger. — It has no character. It is 
sweet, bnt not. highly flavored, nor valuable. 
Lanowortht. —I think highly of the fruit. 
It hears well on the quince. It is a shy bearer 
ou pear stock — not worth cultivating. 
Sylvester. —It ia not high flavored, hut gives 
good satisfaction to such as like a sweet fruit, 
Herexdeex. —On pear stock it bears splen¬ 
didly with tne— don’t know of a failure. 
Brandywine —Barry.— My experience is favor¬ 
able to this pear. The treo Is splendid, and 
bears a good sized, handsome fruit of the liighost 
quality, which keeps well. It is a valuable sum¬ 
mer pear. On our young trees it seems to bear 
well. I cannot say how it will be on large trees 
on pear stocks. 
Salter.—I have trees on qnince flve or six 
years old; they have 6bown fruit buds, bnt do 
not bear. 
Hoag.— I have not found it productive. It 
must be picked early or it will rot at the core. 
Tyson— Fish.—T his is one of the best early 
pears. nooKER and Barry say ditto. 
Hoag.—I t is exempt from blight—more so 
than some other varieties. 
Bloodgood— Hooker.—I have found it rather 
poor in quality. 
Lay.—I t has not been as good the past two 
years with me, as previously. 
Fish.—I t has been better with me the past 
two years than before. 
Langworthy.— It ought to be classed with 
the old exploded varieties. 
Barky.— 1 find it still a valuable summer pear. 
I have a tree planted twenty - four years ago, 
which hears full of good fruit, ranking “best” 
among summer pears. 
Bostieter —Lay,— This variety has been uni¬ 
formly good—one of the best early pears, and 
free from blight. 
Maxwell. —Very tine pear with us. 
Hoag.— It Is an excellent pear, bnt cannot say 
much in its favor from experience, for I lost all 
my trees of It from blight. 
Fisiier.—M y trees of this variety were badly 
injured by blight. It is an excellent bearer and 
a good fruit. 
Hooker.—F or family use it is au excellent, 
lively, luscious pear. 
Zimmerman.—I did not pnt it on the list 
because it blights so generally. 
Washington— Thomas. —I have been acquainted 
with this pear for twenty years. It is deficient 
in texture, juicy, excellent sweet flavor, good 
grower, hardy, bears abundantly, and is, alto¬ 
gether, a valuable pear. 
Fisu,—It bears large craps, and is a tine fruit; 
uot highly flavored, but good. 
Bark*.—I t 6hould be grown on pear stock— 
not on quince. 
Hkkbndeex.—I t comes in bearing early ou 
pear stock. We get fruit from it the third year, 
and sometimes before. It bears abundantly.

ORNAMENTAL TREES for Spring planting, is very

Grafting the Hickory.— Can you, or any of your 
numerous readers or contributors, inform the under¬ 
signed how suecesstul grafting of the Hickory or Wal¬ 
nut can be performed ? As I have had no experience 
in grafting the walnut, I would like to be “posted” 
somewhat hy some one who La* had experience in the 
business; far I am calculating to engage in it to some 
extent the coming spring.—ST Forshay, Penn Van. 
We have occasionally grafted the Walnut, but with 
indifferent success aa compared with other fruit trees. 
The cions should be kept dormant until the stock be¬ 
gins to grow, then insert the cion between the bark 
and wood. The lower part of the dons of last year's 
growth, where the buda are small, should be used in 
preference to the ends where the buda are prominent. 
If any of onr readers have bid successful experience 
In this matter we will be glat to hear from them— b.

The Duchess n'AxaouLtSr- for Stocks.—Is the 
Duchess d'Angouleme a goid stock to graft upon? 
Last spring I desired to do-all work some new varie¬ 
ties of peart*, and procured 'AmC Dad-.ess on quince 
for that purpose. They wti“c.tri-folly worked, by 
tongue-grafting, A few inches above the quince stock, 
planted oat c-vrefnllv and good car© taken of them. A 
large part died, and what did not. with one or two 
exceptions mad© but a feeble growth. A few in my 
garden, that were not moved, showed the same result. 
A nurseryman lately told me that his experience was 
the same, and that tie round the Duchess a very uncer¬ 
tain stock to graft upon. Has any of the Rural read¬ 
ers experienced the same result? Should be glad to 
hoar from any who have made trial.—Q. S. C., H«( 
Fayette, Seneca Co„ A r . T. 
We have had no experience in using the Duchess 
d’Angouleme as a stock for grafting other sorts on, 
but can see no reason why it should not answer well. 
Wc have used the White Doyenne extensively as a 
stock, uud cun recommend It. In any ease, however, 
the trees to be grafted should be allowed to make one 
year's growth, after being transplanted, before the 
grafts tiro set.— b.

Eds. Rural New-Yorker:— In a recent num¬ 
ber of the Rural, yon invite the attention and 
criticism of its readers to the column devoted 
to domestic affairs. Please allow’ me to remark: 
I have long thought that items find their way 
into this Corner, that are mere superfluities—And 
worse than that —food compounded after the 
directions of some of the-e recipes proves de¬ 
cidedly deleterious to the physical health. But¬ 
ter, cream, lard, sugar, etc., seem to predomin¬ 
ate in most of these recipes, by which I judge, 
the individuals donating them, cannot have 
made hygiene their study. There are persons 
who could not use eveu the “Johnny cake” 
made after these notes. 
I will send you a recipe for making a kiud of 
bread which I have never seen in these columns, 
and which might be properly placed under the 
head of Physical Economy—Wheat tionr and 
water stirred to a batter baked in small tins — 
no salt used. This makes bread light and excel¬ 
lent, raised by the natural gas minus all alkalies, 
and although to be used warm, it is said can be 
used by the most eonjirmed dyspeptics when al¬ 
most nothing else can. This bread is used ex¬ 
clusively lu many families, and “Hydropathic 
Cures’’ with happy results. Try it.

ABOUT STRAWBEBRIES, 
At the Araer. Pomologlcal meeting in Rochester 
last September, the report on Strawberries maki-s a 
pretty Mire thing that Russell's Prolific and Buffalo 
Seedling are identical, and probably that Is about 
right; out If so, what shall wo do wtth the statement 
made at the summer meeting of the Western New 
York Fruit Growers’ Society, where the Rural New- 
Yorker reports the Buffalo Strawberry a-* distinct aud 
superior to Russell’s Drylifu;, Doc.scrs disagree, but 
it perhaps will be well for some of our would he ora¬ 
cles to examine carefully of what they speak, and 
when they issue a word, let it be characteristic of the 
man, and then we shall soon know either of the fruit 
or the man.—X., in Ohio Fanner. 
This “X’’ is a great fellow—a valuable cor¬ 
respondent—just about as great an “ oracle ” as 
wc know of; and he had better adopt some of 
his own advice about “examining carefully” of 
what ho speaks. Now let us sec how much 
truth can be squeezed out of this X! 
1. The American Pomologieul Society at its 
meeting in Rochester did not make “a pretty 
sure thing that Russell’s Prolific and Buffalo 
Seedling are identical.” Gentlemen asked if they
