DISCUSSIONS AT THE STATE PAIR. , 
Wednesday Evoniusr.— Small Fruits. ; , 
Prof. T. R. Bcrgess, Ulster Co., read an 
address on the subject of “Small Fruits,” pre¬ 
vious to the discussion. In reply to questions, 
he stated that the soil along the Hudson river 
on which Antwerp Raspberries are grown and I 
succeed so well, is of a slaty character—warm < 
in its nature. In the town of Marlborough 1 
rocks protrude frequently to the surface, and < 
the fruit is cultivated in the valleys and spaces ‘ 
around the rocks. Strawberries succeed in 1 
almost any soil, the richer the better, if there 1 
is a large proportion of sand and gravel mixed < 
in. A high hill-side, having good ventilation 
and a warm soil, is best for grapes; bat on the 
lakes and the Hudson river they ripen better ! 
near the water than farther away on the upland. 
A gentleman thought the proximity of water 
had much to do with the success of fruit¬ 
growing. Strawberries were profitable on heavy 
clays near the water. 
Mr. Van Alstine, Columbia Co., thought ber¬ 
ries could be profitably grown all over the State. 
They were indigenous to the soil. The best 
ripened grapes are grown on clay or slaty soil. 
On sandy loam he had never succeeded in pro¬ 
ducing well-ripened grapes; too much wsod is 
grown. Such soil tends to grow wood all the 
season, but the production of wood on clay land 
is retarded, when dry weather comes, and the 
substance of the viuo goes to the development 
of fruit. 
Pres’t. Gould believed that temperature had 
more to do with the successful growth of the 
grape than anything else. In order to produce 
good fruit or wine the grape should secrete suf¬ 
ficient sugar; ami to accomplish this end the 
temperature, from the time of the blossoming 
of the vine to the ripening of the fruit, should 
be equable. No great changes should take 
place. The speaker referred to the success 
attained on the shores of Crooked Lake. Lands 
adapted to grape culture had risen in value 
there, in a few years, from fifteen dollars to 
fifteen hundred dollars per acre. The equable 
temperature there, and on the shores of Lake 
F.rle, produces the favorable results of those 
regions. It is admitted that the formation of 
sugar Is essential. The protection from wind 
and the proximity of water at Crooked Lake 
are the secrets of its success as a grape growing 
region. 
Marshall P. Wilder of Boston, was intro¬ 
duced to the audience by President Gould. 
Mr. Wilder remarked (hat ho came in to listen 
and not to speak. He was exceedingly happy 
to meet the President of the N. Y. State Agri¬ 
cultural Society, as they had worked together 
for many years in the field of Agriculture. Hor¬ 
ticulture was but a branch of Agriculture, and 
Pomology formed only part of the former. No 
department had been more neglected than that 
of small fruits; and the strawberry fli one of the 
most profitable of plants. He disliked to make 
large statements, but It was no uncommon thing 
to produce 4,000 quarks per acre of strawberries 
in the vicinity of Boston. The best method of 
cultivation is to turn over a piece of new land 
that never has grown the strawberry, and dress 
it with ashes. Plant in the spring, take only one 
crop, and then plow up. This is the system 
very successfully practiced at Belmont, in the 
vicinity of Boston. It Is the pefect system. 
Growers generally get from 3,000 to 4,000 quarts 
per acre, and they bring the highest prices. Our 
standard of berries is high, and we are not sat¬ 
isfied with the Wilson. It will not bring Ju the 
Boston market more than two-thirds as much 
as some other kinds. The popular berry with 
us is Hovey's Seedling, it is a pistillate and 
requires skill in cultivation, hut will produce 
the most money. 
Mr. Barry said, that a few years since, he was 
convinced, from the show in the market, that 
Hovey’s Seedling satisfied the Boston people. 
Brighton Pino should be grown with it as a 
stamlnate. The Belmont cultivators allow it to 
spread—do not clip the runners. The great 
secret Is to use new land and make an annual 
’ crop of it. Had been to the Lake Shore region 
lately, and thought we should make as good 
Hock wines in this country as in Europe. Su¬ 
gar should not be used; it destroys the charac¬ 
ter of our wines and produces more alcohol. 
We cannot make the sweet wines of Europe— 
must make Sauterno and Hock. Our Diana 
will make an excellent Hock without the addi¬ 
tion of sugar. 
Mr. Caywood, Poughkeepsie, thought there 
»were varieties of grapes that would ripen in all 
«ocalitiee and soil, that were adapted to a w ide 
( range of culture; the Delaware and Clinton 
were of these kinds. The latter grape had been 
much neglected—it makes a good wine. We 
should not be deterred from planting grapes by 
temperature or soil, but select the proper varie¬ 
ties. Of strawberries we want large quantities, 
if the quality is not the very best. lie could 
not grow Hovey’s Seedling. Wilson’s is the 
“roughand ready” bearer. 
Charles Downing, Newbnrg, in answer to a 
call, said there were varieties having a very wide 
range of climate, and that a clay soil is best. 
Marshall P. Wilder, Boston, stated that 
the rot which atl’ects the Diana might he avoid¬ 
ed, in a great measure, by planting the vine in a 
poor soil. We have learned this recently. A 
poor soil also makes it ripen earlier. 
Dr. Thompson said the volcanic soil is best 
for grapes. The slopes of Mt. Versuvius pro¬ 
duce famous grapes and wine. Near Cincinnati 
calcareous soil is predominant. Good wine was 
shown to-day, before the Committee, produced 
from a sandy loam. Near Cayuga Lake the 
Catawba makes a good table grape. A coarse, 
gravelly soil, or clay loam, is next best to the I 
volcanic for the grape. He thought tho Catawba 
succeeded well near the lakes, on account, of 
the depth of -water rendering the temperature 
equable. He thought the Diana would prove 
the best xvine grape in the country. 
There -was some further rambling discussion 
and fhe meeting adjourned. 
FRUIT TREES-FALL PLANTING. 
Those who intend] planting fruit trees this 
fall, should see to it that their ground is in good 
order for the reception of the trees. A simple 
hole in the earth for the roots of the tree is not 
enough. Some people dig down, as if about to 
set a fence post, press in the roots of the tree, 
pack the earth around the boll and that ends the 
operation. During the succeeding season, many 
of the trees are found to be dead or dying, and 
the failure is laid at the door of the nurseryman 
who supplied the stock, when, in truth, it is 
solely owing to improper management iu plant¬ 
ing. Select ground with a southern inclination, 
if you have it, and see that it is well drained. 
Fruit trees, be they naturally ever so hardy and 
thrifty, will not. do well in ground resembling a 
mortar bed. They require a lively soil, one upon 
which water on the surface does not stand or re- 
muin long beneath it. Break It. up to tho depth 
of a foot and a half or thereabouts. Supply it 
liberally with some good fertilizer; mix it. with 
the soil. Set your trees a little deeper than they 
grew in tho nursery, the roots beiug well ex¬ 
panded, as they naturally were before the tree 
was taken up. Puck sutilcienlly to give steadi¬ 
ness to the tree; cut it back to a suitable length 
and shape and the work of plauting is done. 
The after management will consist in light cul¬ 
tivation about tho trees, for a season, without 
severing any of the main roots as these will bo 
essential to give tho tree a proper start; mulch 
freely to keep down the grass and fertilize the 
soil. These things done well and seasonably tho 
orebardist may confide the result to the opera¬ 
tions of nature with tho reasonable expectation 
that his labor and care will not have been in vain.

THE ARRANGEMENT OF FLOWERS. 
The first thing to be considered in the ar¬ 
rangement of flowers is the gratification of the 
eye both ns regards form and color. The con¬ 
sideration of form must include weight and sub¬ 
stance, so far as that solid and massive flowers 
should be placed low down in the group, while 
the tapering or shading oil' on every side should 
he made up of flowers of spiral, light and feath¬ 
ery forms, especially those which stretch up 
from the center and reach the highest. Suck 
fringing or feathery sprays may be made to re¬ 
lieve the massiveness of the group, as well as to 
heighten tho color of individual flowers by be¬ 
ing composed of delicate foliage, such as sprigs 
of rose leaves or ferns. The general form of a 
simple group of flowers, placed iu a vase, should 
he that of a half circle hr globe, admitting of 
course the agreeable variety of drooping edges, 
and sometimes even tracing branches may be 
added with good effect. But. whatever the re¬ 
ceptacle may be in which flowers are placed for 
ornament, the form of the group should never 
have the appearance of being depressed in tho 
middle and raised at the sides, nor shonld the 
general form be interrupted by cavities, or 
stretched out into disproportionate projections. 
Indeed, the simple proportion is the safe rnle to 
abide by, and of this almost all women, by a 
little reflection, are able to judge for themselves. 
But there is proportion in colour as well as in 
form ; and here we must go buck to the primary 
rule-fed, bine, and yellow, with their compli¬ 
mentary opposites—green, orange, and purple. 
As flowers are never gray, those dccldeded col¬ 
ours may be relieved by tbe intervention of pure 
white, or by so close and even a mixture of tho 
primit ive colours, with their different gradations, 
that the eye is not compelled to fix upon one 
more than another, and consequently Is perfect¬ 
ly satisfied. This is generally called balance of 
colour, in producing which nothing can be more 
accommodating than flowers.—“ The Beautiful 
in Nature and Art” by Mrs. Ellis.

ENCOURAGEMENT TO PLANT VINES. 
“ Let us plant Vines,” says Horace Greeley, 
and to enforce his advice he offers, a3 will be 
seen below, two very liberal prizes to encourage 
farmers and working men to supply themselves 
with grapes. Mr. G. well says: 
“ The Grape, under skillful culture, is a surer 
crop to-day than almost any other delicate fruit, 
the strawberry only excepted. Experienced 
growers say that grapes may be grown, wherev- 
at first be many diverse species or varieties, and f 
experience will show which is best adapted to 
the climate aud soil of that locality. Time will 
teach many valuable lessons, and a few years 
will givens thousands of skillful vine dressers. 
Wo shall live longer and better, have more com¬ 
fort and less disease, when every dwelling shall 1 
be surrounded by its Vines. ' 
I hope our Agricultural Societies and Farmers’ 1 
Clubs will devise and adopt fit measures to stirn- 8 
ulatc the planting of the vine ; meantime, i, as 
a mere beginning, will pay a premium of 8200 to 
the first, and 8100 to the second township of not 
less than 100 houses, whose three principal olli- , 
eers shall certify to me that every dwelling in ( 
that township has not less than two well plant¬ 
ed, thrifty vines.” 
-- ».4 - - - 
WINTERING PLANTS. 
The want of a green-house is a great draw- j 
back to the successful cultivator of half-hardy 
plants and (lowers. After all the cost and care 
incident to forming a desirable collection of 
flowers, etc., it is mortifying to see them killed I 
by frost or rotted by rain and damp. All those 
persons who are fond of keeping tender plants 
throughout, the Winter, and have not a hot¬ 
house, green-house or cellar to protect them, 
should construct a pit that will be frost-proof. 
This may be easily done by making an excava¬ 
tion four or five feet deep, that will he large 
enough to contain all the plants on hand and a 
good many more. This pit should be lined with 
boards, which ehould project about, two feet 
above the surface and be banked and roofed like 
a hot-bed. Tho excavation should be perfectly 
drained; without Ibis advantage It will he 
utterly useless. In places where draiuage to a 
sufficient depth cannot be effected, the pit must, 
bo constructed so far above ground as will keep 
it dry. The pit may lie constructed on tho plan 
of an Ice-house—a double row posts aud 
boards, the Interstices being well packed with 
saw-dust. Light is essential, and in admitting it, 
caution will be necessary, as glass will admit, 
frost. The best plan is to cover the glass with 
closely jointed boards, a space being left be¬ 
tween the glass and the hoards, which should ho 
packed with hay or straw in very severe weather. 
The coveringshouid he removed occasionally and 
air admitted. This may ho done about noon on 
fine, mild days. Iu this pit. a large number of 
half-hardy plants and flowers may be safely kept 
during the Winter.— Nr. 
QUALITY IN BLACKBERRIES. 
Thosf. who raise blackberries must have 
noticed that some berries lack the sweetness of 
others. These generally arc less plump and 
vigorous. It must also have been noticed that 
when a branch is broken, the berry turns black 
and seems to ripen equally well with the others, 
though not so plump, uorso glossy. Taste this 
fruit, and there is a bitter, or insipid taste • the 
flavor is gone. All this proves that, a thorough¬ 
ly healthy and vigorous shoot is necessary to 
produce high quality. Hence, manure may be 
usutl largely in the blackberry. It not only 
thrives the better, becomes larger and more 
glistening, but the flavor is improved, and qual¬ 
ity in general is better. It needs also—and this 
Is an Important point — clean, and not crowded 
culture. Grass should not only bo kept out, 
scrupulously, in and between tho rows, but the 
ground kept mellow, and mulched before the 
fruiting season, so as to keep moist if possible 
during that important period. Then if tho 
canes are each distinct, so that tho sun and air 
can have full play, the stalk well trimmed, say 
about four feet long, with the laterals in keep¬ 
ing, forming a graceful, com inlet shrub, there 
will be no difficulty. We have now reference 
more particularly to the New Rochelle. When¬ 
ever a cane alls, or a branch, tho fruit will suf¬ 
fer ; whether In the shade or out of it. A healthy 
stock will grow healthy, well-flavored fruit in 
, the shade. The strawberry is here like the grape, 
it will gather sugar under its leaves. But the 
most is that it he healthy and thrifty. Barn¬ 
yard manure will do this; hut mixed with rot¬ 
ten leaves and decayed chips, it will do it the 
more effectually. Few fruits thrive better with 
good attendance than the blackberry.— Coleman's
