a tree of medium size is wanted, possesses char¬ 
acters that should bring it more in nee as an 
ornamental tree than haa been the case. It 
forms a very regular round head, with glossy 
dark green leaves, very much like the Orange. 
It is entirely free from insects.

OHIO GRAPE GROWERS’ MEETING, 
DOTY’8 WASHING MACHINE 
PEACHES AND ROSES. 
(Concluded from March 9th.) 
SUMMER PRUNING. 
pm. Warder of Cincinnati said the object of 
gammer pruning was to remove all exuberant 
growth, but yet leave wood and leaves enough 
to protect and mature the grapes. His plan had 
been to rah off the young shoots which arc not 
necessary for next year’s wood, nor for present 
fruit bearing. This work should be done when 
the young growth is but a finger’s length. All 
bearing shoot* getting more than a fair nutri¬ 
ment, and so leading the rest, should he pinched 
off at two leaves beyond the last bunch of fruit 
Dr. Spalding said it was the custom generally 
In Missouri to pinch In all the frnltrbearing 
branches at two leaves beyond the last cluster. 
j. R. Brown of Put-in-Bay stated that a neigh¬ 
bor had thoroughly trimmed his vines, taking off' 
all laterals and shortening the longer canes. His 
own vineyard, through his absence, had been left 
almost wholly untouched. By the time of vint¬ 
age, his neighbors’ vines had lost most of their 
leaves, and the fruit was far from being well 
ripened, while his own were never better and 
gold at the highest price*. 
Mr. Griffith said that ho regarded early sum¬ 
mer pruning, removing water sprouts and redun¬ 
dant weak shoot* as indispensable to good cul¬ 
ture ; but subsequent operations should be lim¬ 
ited to careful pinching, with a view to develop, 
direct and perfect the growth of wood and foli¬ 
age, rather than to retard or hinder their devel¬ 
opment; and In no case should strong and thrifty 
portions of the- vine, or dark green foliage, be re¬ 
moved—a* the leaves are the lungs of the vine 
and its greatest source of supplies. 
Dr. Dunham commenced summer work early 
by nipping off the ends of laterals, and later in 
August he stopped off the leading canes, too. 
ThiB, perhaps, was too severe, yet thus far the 
result has been uniformly good. Mildew had 
visited him but one year, and then but a small 
quantity of his crop had failed to ripen. The 
rot, last year, had struck his grapes slightly in 
Juno. Never trimmed his frnit-bcarlng brandies 
closer than two joints from the outmost bunch, 
and often left three leaves. 
Mr. Mbrrell of Geneva, N. Y., did not con¬ 
sider it an axiom thut by pruning the wood wo 
direct all the energies and growth of the vino 
into the frnit; think* the process checks growth 
and does not commonly direct it; could not sub¬ 
scribe to Dr. Warder’s doctrine, that if the vines 
had been neglected early, excessivegrowth should 
be checked by breaking off branches well back 
from the tips. 
pruning and training. 
A good deal of discussion was had on the time 
and modes of pruning, and the comparative mer¬ 
its or the several modes of training—the prefer¬ 
ence for trellises or stakes, &e. The majority of 
the speakers, however, seemed In favor of the 
post and wire trellis a* being used on the Isl¬ 
ands and in the best vineyards around Sandusky 
and Cleveland; then training the vines on tho 
horizontal arm system or some modifications 
thereof. 
TUB COST OF STAKES AND TRELLIS. 
The following is a comparison of tho cost be¬ 
tween trellis work and stakes, as furnished by 
Mr. O. D. Ford of East Cleveland : 
Number of vinca per acre—8x10, 544; 8x8, 729; 
0x6,1,210. 
Number of post* per acre, 22 feet apart—8x10, 
231 posts, $23.10; 8x8, 297 posts, $29.70 ; 6x0, 
385 post*, $38.50. 
Amount of wire per aero—(No. 9 wire, going 
from 19 to 20 feet per lb., at 6)^ cts. per lb.)—8x 
10, 693 lbs., $45.04 ; 8x8, 911 lbs., $59.21; 6x6, 
1,161 lb*., $74.81. 
The number of stakes per acre, where stakes 
are used, costing $35 per M., 8x10 would take 
1,088, costing $38,08 ; 8x8, 1,458 stakes, costing 
$50.03 ; 0x6, 2,420 stakes, costing $84.70. 
Each proprietor, by taking into consideration 
the location of his vineyard, will be able from 
the figures given by Mr. Ford to ascertain the 
cost of each. The wire in this estimate is sup¬ 
posed to be second-hand telegraph wire. The 
plan suggested by Mr. Ford for using this wire 
is to brace the end posts abont six inches below 
the upper wire, perforate each of those posts at 
proper intervals for the reception of the end of 
the wire, drawing each to the required parallel 
by a small windlass, and fastening the whole to 
center post* with email nails. 
Mr. T. 8. Uuhuakd of Frcdouia, N. Y., fur¬ 
nished another estimate, a* follows :—An acre 
ot vineyard with rows 8 l'cet apart and 15 rods in 
length, con talus 22 rows—380 rods of trellis and 
990 rods of wire; requiring—44 posts, 4x0, or 4x 
5 in., at 25 el*., $11.00; 200 posts, 8x3 in., at ViX 
cts., $25.00 ; 44 braces, at 10 cts., $-1.40; 6 lbs. 
wrought nails, at 10 cts., $0.60; 990 lbs. No. 9, 
new wire, at 7>j cts., $74.25. Total, $115.25. If 
No. 10 wire Is used the cost per acre will be about 
$12 less. The price named for new wire is much 
less than the current rate for several years past, 
but not below what it can now be obtained for 
by the ton. The cost of post* every man can 
ascertain in his own neighborhood. The cost of 
stakes, using two for a vine, at 6x8 feet apart, 
990 to the acre, at 6% cts. each, would be $126— 
or if 8x8 feet apart, 680 to the acre, $85. 
THE WINE TARIFF. 
Remarks were made on the insufficiency of the 
present rate of duty on foreign wines to afford 
protection to the makcrB of native wines, and a 
memorial to Congress was prepared and signed, 
asking lor a unilorm duty of $1 per gallon on 
Imported wines. This memorial was too late 
lor presenting to the Congress then in session, 
so will be sent to tbe new one.

At the September session of tho French Impe¬ 
rial Horticultural Society attention was called 
to the subject of blight or mildew, when a mem¬ 
ber stated that ho had been successful in the 
use of sulphur in the expulsion of the parasite* 
from his peach trees and rose bushes. The slow 
combustion of this article around the infected 
tree* and bushes, under the influence of the sun’s 
rays, had proved an effectual exterminator of the 
pest complained of. It was generally agreed that 
the remedy should he applied while the leaves 
are only partially developed, as the remedy acts 
more effectnally then than it doe* later in tho 
season. 
A correspondent supplies the Commissioner of 
Agriculture with a recipe for killing insects on 
orchards and graperies. He says:—“ 8aw a hogs¬ 
head in two; put twenty to thirty pounds of sul¬ 
phate. of irou into one. half, and fill np with cham¬ 
ber lye—water will answer, bat urine is best. 
When the liquid becomes black it is fit for use. 
This preparation Bhould be applied to the tranks 
and branches of tho trees and poured round tho 
collars, which will kill and keep off all worms in¬ 
festing these parts and add vitality to the trees.

WHO INTRODUCED THE TOMATO. 
Facts.—T he Chemical Saleratns is tho Best 
Saleralus. Chemical Saleratus Is better than 
Soda. Chemical Saloratus lias 10 ounces in a 
paper; others have 14 to 15 ounces. 
In answer to an inquiry in relation to tho 
introduction of too “Tomato” for table use in 
toe United States, a correspondent of tho N. Y. 
Observer assigns toe credit to a sea captain, a 
relative of hi* by marriage. This seafaring in¬ 
dividual paid a visit to tlio father of toe relator, 
residing in the interior of Pennsylvania, during 
tho autumn of 1818, and fonnd in the garden a 
lot of tomatoes, then denominated 41 love ap¬ 
ples,” and not used as food because they were 
supposed to be poisonous. The captain, how¬ 
ever, averred tbe contrary, and soon produced a 
dish which he denominated a Catalonian Salad. 
It was found to be all toe concoctor claimed for 
it, and thereafter the Tomato became a favorite 
in that section—its reputation spreading rapidly 
over tho country.

has a yard and garden grow a few grape vines, Imt
