Eds. Rubai, New-Yorker:— I wish to call the 
attention of your readers to a few things important 
to be remembered at this season of the year. I do 
not pie.'time that 1 have anything to say particu¬ 
larly new. but the most important truths are those 
that are old and well ertabli-bed; end as a general 
rule people know much more than they do. tlieir 
theories being far superior to their practice. Many 
persons with a tolerable knowledge of vegetable 
physiology and pretty good ideas of how things 
should be done, act in deliance of the most simple 
and best known rules, very much to their own 
injury. Talk wiih them on the subject, and they 
agree with you at once—you can learn them noth¬ 
ing—they acknowledge the fault, but want of lime 
and other pressing duties had caused the neglect 
which they regret. Now as a general rule I have 
always lound the great diffieul'y to be careless, 
negligent habits, which we all know are very diffi¬ 
cult. to be overcome. MaDy persons spend more 
time in mourning over the effects of their negli¬ 
gence than would have served to have done the 
work well, and then the result would have been a 
constant source of pleasure, Some parts of onr 
work we may slight, and the fact may be unnoticed, 
but in horticultural matters, neglect at the com¬ 
mencement, in preparing the ground or planting, 
will often staro us in the face during the whole life 
of the tree or plant. Trees keep no secrets—they 
are regular tell-tales, and proclaim our faults and 
virtues to all who will heed. 
I have found that almost any fertile soil that i8 fit 
fur ordinary farm crops will answer well for fruit 
trees. It should, however, be dry, and if not so 
naturally, it should be drained so that the water 
will not stand about the roots. None of our ordi¬ 
nary fruit trees will thrive in a soil saturated with 
stagnant water during a great part of the year, 
^oil tor truit trees should be as well prepared as for 
a crop of wheat or potatoes, and even better, for in 
the former case the work is done only for a season, 
but iu the latter for a lile-time. Plow twice, as 
deep as possible, and if the subsoil plow follows the 
ordinary plow, all the better. On new land, or that 
which has not. been rendered poor by cropping, no 
manure will be needed. It is better to apply ma-

W. w. Fisher, p. m. 
Cossadngn, N. Y., Oct. 0,1802. 
It will not now be necessary to prune as regularly and >.* 
vcrely as when the trees were young. Pruning now will de¬ 
pend much on the Imhit of growth ntid the vigor of the tree. 
If of a rambling habit of growth, pruning will be necessary to 
keep the tree in shape, but if of a regular habit, very little 
cubing will be required. If a vigorous growth of wood is 
maintained it is well to leave the tree to itself, but if at any 
time there seems to be lack of vigor and but very little new 
wood is made, give a good pruning early in the spring, and 
this, if accompanied by generous culture and good manure, 
will most likely give the tree a new start and induce vigorous 
growth. There can be no good fruit for a great length of lime 
without health and vigor in the tree. 
This has been one. of the most productive fruit 
seasons we have experienced for very many years 
in Western New York, and the same is true of a 
great portion of our country, for we have reports 
from nearly all sections of abundance of fruit and 
low prices. Some who for many years have sold 
pears at high rates, are beginning to complain ot 
disposing of Bartlett pears at seventy-five cents or 
a dollar a bushel, hut we rejoice that good truit is 
becoming so abundant that those who ate not mil¬ 
lionaires can have a taste. We long for the time 
when those who are comparatively poor, and espe¬ 
cially the children of the. poor, will lie able to feast 
on BartleUs and Bcckels and other good productive 
pears. But there is no need ot alarm, for prices, we 
think, will be high enough to satisfy all reasonable 
growers. The Bartlett is a short-lived fruit, almost 
as much so as the peach, ripens soon after picking 
and decays rapidly, hence must be disposed of at 
once. An unusually large crop will always, there¬ 
fore, cause depression in the market It. also ripens 
with peaches and this lessens its value. It is not 
a good variety to grow in great abundance, espe¬ 
cially for Ibose who depend upon a distant market. 
The Boston papers state that a fruit grower residing 
in the neighborhood brought a load ol Bwtlttts to 
that city, and thinking the prices offered too low, 
concluded to enjoy the luxury of giving them away, 
andqlherefore invited the passers by to help them¬ 
selves, an invitation they were not slow to accept, 
and in a short time his load was disposed of. Lon¬ 
ger-keeping autumn, and early and late winter 
pears will, however, sell at. remunerating prices for 
many years to come, and none of us, we think, will 
ever live to see good fruit a drug in the market 
Of course, fruit growing and selling, like every 
other business, must be conducted with wisdom and 
varieties grown suited to the market, and the tastes 
of the consumers, A reader who sent us an inquiry 
on this subject will find in our views above a suf¬ 
ficient answer to his question. 
Up to the time of writing (October 14th). we have 
had but little froBt, not even enough to kill dahlias, 
but occasionally, in exposed situations, the. grape 
leaves and other things are touched, and we cannot 
hope lor much farther exemption. Our grapes are 
ripening very slowly, and we doubt if the Isabella 
will perfect itself this season on the open trellis, 
except in very favorable situations. We derive 
great satisfaction from the fact that this old variety 
is soon to be entirely displaced by sorts that are 
better, and sure to ripen. 
ot Hus delicious fruit. They were all packed in 
boxes, one foot square and six inches deep, admit¬ 
ting three layers of clusters, and kept in a cool, dry 
cellar ; in fact, so cool during the winter (bat water 
standing in a pail would freeze one-half an inch 
thick. I arn satisfied that the nearer the freezing 
point grape?, and in fact all other fruits can be kept 
without actually freezing, the longer and better 
they will keep. 
Box No. 1 was packed with alternate layers of 
grapes and Iresh grape leaves. Box No. 2 with alter¬ 
nate layers and Colored sheet wadding. Box No. 3 
wiih alternate layers of newspapers and grapes. 
Now for results. No. 1 kept fresh and nice until 
about the last of December, the fruit seemingly im¬ 
proving in flavor, and greenish clusters ripening 
up ; when the leaves and stems of the fruit began to 
mould quite badly. 
No. 2 kept tolerably well until about the middle 
of December, when I found the cotton sticking to 
the grapes w here they came in contact, and the ber¬ 
ries rotting and the stems mouldy. 
No. 3 kept the best of the three by all odds. By 
changing Ibe papers and repacking, I kept grapes 
until the 15th of March perfectly plump and fresh, 
and most of the stems fresh and green. I know not 
how much longer they would have kept had I not 
used up the last, of them at that. lime.

grapes. Cluster No. 1 was picked from the true

on the Lisbon , and the least ripe on the Delaware. 
There is at least ten days difference in the time of 
ripening, and yet [ am perfectly satisfied they are 
the same grape, the Lisbon having never received 
anything but neglect for forty years ; growing in a 
(armor s door-yard, surrounded by grass and weeds, 
badly set on a stiff clay soil, with a hard-pan sub¬ 
soil on t.he top of one of the highest hills in Steuben 
Co., never pruned, and never protected during the 
winter, and notwithstanding this ueglect annually 
producing a fair yield of luscious fruit; not as large 
or early, hut of good quality. This affords a beautiful 
illustration of the wonderful capacity of the Dela¬ 
ware (providing it be the Delaware) to bear neglect.

fur frees. When ground is prepared in this way, 
it is not necessary to make a large or deep hole for 
the tree. Scrape away a few inches of the earth, 
spread out the roots nicely about as they grew, and 
cover them wiih mellow soil, and the work is done. 
No matter how carefully trees may be taken up 
and packed, some of the large roots will be bruised 
and broken, and many of the smaller ones will per¬ 
ish, so that about one-half the good roots are lost 
The top is not injured. So, when the tree reaches 
the planter, it has at least twice the amount of top 
that the roots can well support. If the tree is 
planted in this condition it. will have a hard strug¬ 
gle for life Ibe first summer, will mak no growth at 
all, arid it the season should prove dry and hot, will 
very likely die. The planter must restore the bal¬ 
ance that existed before the tree was takeu up, by 
removing about one-half ot the top, more or less as 
may be judged necessary by the appearance of the 
roots. Any bruised roots should be cut away, 
because a clean cut will soon heal, while a bruised 
root will rot, usually clear back to the trunk, and 
sometimes does much injury to roots near it.

it is really excrutiating 
to a person of sympathetic nature to see people eat¬ 
ing sour, half-ripened Isabella grapes, and yet in 
blissful ignorance imagine them ripe and good. 
It is about time to pick winter fruit, and a hint or 
two in regard to the necessity of care to prevent 
bruising will not be out of place. No bruised speci¬ 
men can be saved, and is in fact ruined, that is for 
the purpose for which it was designed. Every one 
then is lost, and this shows the importance of great 
care in picking and handling. But, one decaying 
specimen will often destroy a dozen, and if not 
watched these will destroy the whole barrel. Time 
saved in packing fruit in a hurry is the most, expen¬ 
sive time, you can obtain. By all means give suffi¬ 
cient time to this work to do it well. 
A little more attention to the picking and barrel¬ 
ing of apples, we think, would be of great advan¬ 
tage both to the growers and purchasers of this 
fruit A few years ago nearly all the apples were 
shook from the trees. The consequence was more 
than one-half were bruised and rotted. Of late this 
hits been corrected, and growers for market pick 
their apples by hand. Another difficulty is the 
packing in barrels. Apples, if put into barrels in 
the ordinary way and the bead geutly pressed on, 
move in shipping and rolling about, and become 
injured. Almost every specimen will be found 
bruised. To prevent this, screws have been used 
for pressing on the heads of barrels. This bruises 
and destroys about a peck on the top, but keeps 
those below in place, so that they come out sound, 
utrless kept too long in barrels, unlil those on the 
top become rotten, and the decay injures those be¬ 
low. This is somewhat an improvement, but is a 
very defeclive plan, after all. We need some better 
method. If some elastic material were placed at 
the bottom aud top of the barrel, and perhaps a 
layer in the center, we think apples might be packed 
and shipped without injury to a single specimen. 
Cannot some of our growers or shippers tell us of a 
better method than that usually pursued 1 
This 13 the time to make preparations for fall 
planting. If not done already done, make your se¬ 
lection at once, ami forward it to some good nursery¬ 
men. Clean up the garden, make new walks, beds. 
<feo., as may bo needed, and leave nothing for the 
spring that, can be done in the fall. The spring will 
bring its own work, and enough of it. Those who 
for many years have designed to make beds of 
bulbs, s.Mch as tulips, hyacinths, crocuses, &c., &c., 
should remember that this is their last chance for 
another season. It will not do to plant bulbs in the 
spring, All nurserymen are annoyed by receiving 
orders for bulbs even when they are in flower iu 
the ground. Alter (ho bulbs are set cover the ground 
with a coating of manure or leaves from the woods, 
if you can obtain them. They afford good protec¬ 
tion from the severe frosts. All herbaceous plants 
are better plants in the autumn, and we recommend 
to our readers who love flowers a small selection of 
perennial phloxes. Fine varieties can now be ob¬ 
tained at most of our nurseries. There are many 
herbaceous plants worthy of general culture, de¬ 
scriptions of which wo have given in previous num¬ 
bers of the Rural, and catalogues can be obtained, 
by sending a stamp to pre-pay postage to any of the 
leading nurserymen of the country. 
Celery should be well-earthed for blanching, and 
everything that needs to be done before winter 
should be attended to at once, for we have no time 
to lose. In a very few weeks winter will be upon 
us iu earnest. The longer winter apples are allowed 
to remain on the trees the better, without being fro¬ 
zen, and they will endure more frost than any other 
fruit. Where farmers have but a few for family use 
they may afford to be a little venturesome, but 
those who pick for market should have this, like all 
other fall work, attended to in season and without 
hurry or confusion. Clear away all grass aud 
weeds and eveiylhing that will afford a harbor for 
mice from around orchard trees. A little work of 
this kind in the fall may save hundreds of dollars. 
TreeB planted last spring will be benefited by hav¬ 
ing a cone of earth thrown np about the trunk. It 
protects the roots and furnishes a very good support 
to the trunk.

There are some good patent labels but their cost prevents 
their general use ; besides this, many of them must be pur¬ 
chased with the name already on them. If these points are 
uo objection, Bliss' labels possess the other requisites to a 
considerable degree. A zinc label, written on with prepared 
ink, is both good and durable. It will last for many years if 
the ink is good. But the cheapest and most durable label of 
all is thin sheet lead ; It will last an indefinite length of time. 
It is cut into narrow strips, about three Inches long, stomped 
with a steel die. and rolled around a small branch of the tree 
to he labeled. It is most, convenient to use figures and a 
memorandum hook, in which the names arc put down oppo¬ 
site the figures. A woodeu label well painted, and written 
upon while the paint is fresh, will last a considerable time ; 
so also a wooden label, if wetted, may be written upon with 
Ouuii's pencil, and relied upon for two year* at least; but

harbor mice. Allow no grass to grow aronnd trees. 
It will prevent growth, and eventually ruin the 
trees. Give trees as good culture as corn or pota¬ 
toes, and they will do well. 
Few amateurs grow Hue roses, although they pur¬ 
chase the choicest varieties, and the reason is, they 
treat them badly. Roses require a very deep soil, 
eighteen inches or two feet, and one-quarter of the 
bulk of the soil in which they grow should be well- 
roited stable manure. In the Spriog prune every 
last year’s vigorous branch back to three or four 
buds, remove all the old wood that you can, of two 
or more years old, and all the weak shoots of last 
year. The young wood produces the best flowers. 
Running Roses of course must be pruned to suit 
the object tor which they are needed, whether to 
cover a pillar or trellis, &c., but in all cases cut out 
the old wood that will not be likely to give good 
flowers, and prune back the side shoots to one eye. 
With good soil aud a little care in pruning, every 
one can have fine roses nearly the whole summer. 
Tulips, Hyacinths, Crocuses, Lilies, Crown Impe¬ 
rial, and nearly all our garden bulbs are hardy, and 
should be planted in the autumn. Prepare the 
ground well, by making it very mellow, then set 
the bulbs, and cover the small bulbs like the crocus 
about an inch or so, and the larger, like the tulip, 
three inches. After the bed is finished, cover with 
three inches of leaves to protect from severe frost, 
or rotted manure will answer, or evergreen 
branches. Old Gardener.

sample grapes on the 20th ult., and shall on Monday (6th) 
send you one containing Michigan, Isabella and Catawba, rais¬

see the comparative time of the ripening of the Michigan and 
the other two. and the Huvor of the Michigan.

Mrs. Haskell bought some Michigan grapes for a small party, 
and finding the fruit excellent, planted seed from it. nnd the 
Haskell was one of the products- This is ail that is known of 
the origin of the Michigan. Tki3 gripe is wholly unknown 
abroad, never introduced to the public, nnd therefore Mrs. 
IIaSKELL named it, and we want to introduce it if it is tho’t to

The grapes were received in good condition. The Michigan 
resemble* the Catawba; indeed, the best judges, we think, cod 
not tell the difference. It is better ripened than the Catawba 
sent, arid if it i* uniformly earlier, It is doubtless a seedling of 
the Catawba. We cannot believe that it Originated from seed 
of a foreign grape. The Haskell is a black grape, appears to be 
much earlier than Isabella, but it is very foxy, with a tough 
pulp. We must aim higher than this. A grape to be worthy 
of dissemination, should, in some respects at least, be superior 
to any in cultivation.
