The frequent appearance of uew horticultural 
books is a good sign of the times. During the 
wo years last past, we have not only had a good 
sprinkling but a perfect ehower of them. We can 
count up at least a dozen, following one another 
in such rapid succession that we have scarcely 
time to examine one until another was 
had 
announced; and there are still others under 
as we are informed by the enterprising 
publishers. Well, let them come; the more 
the better! As we say about the fruits, some 
are “ good,” some “ very good,” and some 
“best,” while a few are indifferent, hut even 
the poorest will do more good than harm, and 
we welcome them all. It is a pleasant thing 
for people of rural tastes to step into a book¬ 
store and find a goodly array of horticultural 
books, decked out in elegant green, blue, crim¬ 
son and gold covers and gilt edges, with the 
finest of paper and most Inviting type —rival¬ 
ing in that respect the hooks of the. boudoir. 
In this the publishers are manifesting both good 
judgment and good taste. Horticulture is one 
of the line arte, and its literature is fully entitled 
to its share in all the improvements of the day 
known to the art of book-making. 
Among the new books it gives us peculiar 
pleasure to announce the appearance of the 
“American Fruit Guitarist.” The old edition, 
published nearly twenty years ago, was an ex¬ 
cellent, useful and popular work. This new 
edition is greatly enlarged, carefully revised, 
written fully up to the present time, and is 
beautifully printed and Illustrated. The im¬ 
pression one gets In opening it, is, that it has 
an. honest look about V. There is not that large 
type, leaded lines and broad margin that we 
see in some of the flashy volumes recently 
issued, and which, ot flrat sight, suggest an 
effort to moke much out of little, or rather to 
make a little go a great ways. As in the old 
edition, the work is divided into two parts, the 
first treating of General Principles and Practice, 
and the second of the Different Kinds of Fruits. 
The same classification of fruits is also retained, 
with slight alteration. A monthly calendar of | 
work R) the Nursery, Orchard and Fruit Garden 
is briefly given, aud there is a “ Descriptive List 
and Index of Fruits,” which contains a com¬ 
plete alphabetical list of all the fruits noticed 
in the work. Those embraced in the body of 
the work are merely referred to, and others are 
briefly described. For instance, in apples about 
100 kinds are described in the body of the work, 
and 400 more in the descriptive list, making the 
total munber of varieties of apple uotiecd about 
COO. Of peaW 215 variation aro described In the 
body of the work, and #07 varieties more in the 
descriptive list, making in all 582 varieties. This 
statement will show the scope of the book in 
this direction. The most popular varieties are | 
designated by the names being printed in capi¬ 
tal letters. Of the 400 varieties of apples about 
80 are thus distinguished. 
We cannot at present go into a critical exam¬ 
ination of the work, hut advise all who feel an 
interest in fruit culture to put themselves iu 
possession of it at once. b.

New Mode of Labeling Trees—A Valuable Dis¬ 
covery.— iAt a recent meeting of the Society of Arts 
(Institute of Technology) Boston, the Hon. M. P. 
Wilder made a statement relative to a new method 
of labeling trees, accidentally discovered by him. In 
the use of zinc labels, which were the most durable 
in character, an Indulltble ink was used, but not hav 
ing tho Ink at hand on one occasion, he wrote upon 
the zinc with a lend pencil. This writing, although 
it could be rubbed off when first made, grew more 
distinct and durable with age, and after several year* 
could not be erased except by scraping.

THE DIANA. GrTt^YPPI. 
Fuller says “ there is probably no one variety 
of grape in cultivation in regard to which there 
is greater diversity of opinion, than the Diana, 
and its variableness fully warrants all that is said 
about it. In one section it is really excellent, 
while in another, perhaps near by, it in entirely 
worthless.” True, perhaps, yet wc think the 
Diana is yearly growing in public favor. Its 
wine has been pronounced by good judges the 
best made in this country, east of the Rooky 
Mountains. Perhaps when we learn the wants 
and nature of the vine fully, cultivators will be 
able to attain more uniform success. 
It will not bear rich soil, nor manures; it in a 
strong, vigorous grower, productive and hardy. 
The fruit ripens about the last of September in 
this latitude. Owing to its thick skin and per¬ 
fect clusters, it is one of the very bed long keep¬ 
ing grapes we have. The bunches are medium 
in size, compact, and not generally shouldered 
It Is said some times to ripen unevenly, but it 
has been asserted that this unevenness is in tho 
color and not ill the taste. It possesses n musky 
odor when first gathered, which disappears, in a 
great measure, after being kept, Our readers

interest in the discussions, and the appearances 
indicate that the amount of planting the present 
spring will bo nearly or quite as great as the 
average for several years past. 
Of the varieties of grapes planted in the lake 
shore region, the Catawba constitutes lull seven- 
eighths of the vineyards, especially on the islands 
and around Sandusky, though some of the oldest 
Most persons have heard something of the 
grapes of Kelley’B Island and a few other points 
in that vicinity, but few have auy definite idea 
of the extent mid progress of vineyard planting 
on the islands and south shore of Lake Erie, and 
the magnitude which this business is likely to 
assume in that seemingly favored district—ex¬ 
tending from Fort Clinton at the west to near 
Dunkirk at the east—about 200 miles in length 
and 5 miles in width, where, owing to the influ¬ 
ence of the lake upon the atmosphere, the grape 
is found to flourish and ripen remarkably well; 
some old v ineyards iu different parte of the dis¬ 
trict having borne fruit for 15 or 20 yeans with 
scarce an Instance of failure. From the returns 
of the assessors, and from careful inquiry in 
the different townships and neighborhoods, it 
is found that there are not less than seven thou- 
and acres of vineyard now plawted within the 
above-named district—the rate of planting hav¬ 
ing averaged uot less than 1,000 acres per year 
for five years post. 
As might be expected, much of this planting 
has been done by persons having very little 
knowledge of grape growing, hence mistakes 
have been made iu the selection of soils and 
locations, as well as iu planting and cultivation, 
hence some failures have occurred aud more will 
follow. Still, as a whole, the success has been 
such, thus far, as to justify the most sanguine 
expectations in regard to the future, especially 
now that special means are employed for diffus¬ 
ing information among those who arc engaged 
in the business. 
The meetings and exhibitions of the Lake 
Shore Grape Growers’ Association have been 
very successful in bringing together the grape 
growers, not only of this district, but many 
from other parts, ol the country; and the inter¬ 
change of sentiments aud opinions has been 
instructive to all. The summer excursions of 
the Society, too, have not only been very pleas 
ant to the large numbers who have participated, 
but afforded lessons of practical value to both 
the visitors and the visited. The anuual meet 
ing of the Association, held at Cleveland the 
past month, was very well attended, and ul 
though the past season was quite unfavorable 
in that vicinity, as well as in the eastern part of 
the district, are of the Isabella—the Catawba not 
ripening as well at the east end as at the west. 
The Delaware has been considerably planted the 
past five or six years, and is growing in favor in 
all parts of the district, both for market and for 
wine. The Concord, too, has its advocates, but 
there arc lew bearing vineyards of it, and plant¬ 
ers generally seem to think it must be superseded 
in all places where the finer varieties can be so 
successfully grown as here. The 6iime is true 
in regard to the Isabella and the Ives, though 
the friends of the latter claim that it will be 
found everywhere profitable for wine. The 
Diana and the Clinton are grown to a limited 
extent, especial# in the eastern parts of the 
district where considerable wine is made. But, 
alter all, none of the varieties at present fully 
tested are in all respects satisfactory, so that the 
important question with planters is — What va¬ 
rieties shall we plant ? 
This is a difficult question to decide; more so 
now than a few years ago, when the majority of 
planters were better satisfied with the Catawba; 
and also in view of the greater number of varie¬ 
ties before the public, and the discovery that 
Borne kinds are better adapted than others to 
eertaiu soils and localities. The anxiety of plant¬ 
ers to make the most judicious selection of vari¬ 
eties for their location and purpose, is manifest¬ 
ed in the large number of letters I have received 
within a month or two past asking for my opin¬ 
ion or advice upon this point. Some of these I 
have answered by referring them to the reported 
discussions at recent meetings of grape growers; 
but the reply is made, “ we find the opinions so 
conflicting that without more knowledge of the 
soil aud location of the different speakers, wc 
cannot judge whether their teachings are adapt¬ 
ed to our circumstances.” Others go further 
and Bay they are afraid to accept the opinions of 
A, B aud C, because they are extensive propa¬ 
gators of yines, and will be likely to recommend 
such as they have most of lor sale I This I re¬ 
gard as a most unjust aspersion of as honorable 
a class of business men as can be found in this 
country. From long personal acquaintance with 
most of the leading ones and occasional dealings 
with many of them, I am free to say that as a 
class they are deserving of the confidence and 
good will of the public, aud some of them arc 
entitled to the lasting gratitude of the whole 
country for their successful labors in dissemi¬ 
nating improved varieties of grapes and instruc¬ 
tion on grape culture. 
I have repeatedly known these men to give 
advice directly contrary to their own pecuniary 
Meeting in Sandusky, iu Oct., l-fff, Mr. Grif¬ 
fith, who is a very extensive propagator of Con¬ 
cord and Catawba vines, but has not grown of 
tho Iona for sale, spoke very strongly in com¬ 
mendation of the Iona, and said he could not 
recommend the Concord, though he had a large 
stock of tho latter vines ou hand and hoped 
somebody would buy them! And now he tells 
everybody he is eonvinecd that the Iona is the 
best of all grapes for tho lake shore region, and 
he is planting it in vineyard by the ten thou¬ 
sand, though he has to buy tho vines of Dr. 
Grant, much against his present interests; for 
he has not even wood enough to raise a large 
stock of the plants for next year, while he ex¬ 
pects to have a million of Concord and Catawba, 
For my own part, in deciding what to plant, I 
prefer to follow the example of such men as Mr. 
Griffith, who has devoted nearly twenty years 
of study and observation to the subject of grope 
culture on this lake shore, and as his opinion 
coincides with my own observations of tho past 
few years, I have decided to plant the present 
spring 2,000 Iona vines, and as many Delaware, 
with a few Diana and israella, in a vineyard for 
market purposo only. If for wine, I should put 
the Ioutt first of all, in view of the emphatic 
testimony of such men as Mottier, Griffith 
and Masson, than whom no more competent 
judges can be found. M. B. Bateham.

Large Aitle Tree.— G. W. McC. writes that “an 
apple tree, now broken down, grew on a farm in Leb 
anon, Ohio, which meusured, 2 feet from the ground, 
ten feet and eleven inches in circumference. I meas¬ 
ured it twice, anil know it to bo so.” 
Trees Girdled by Mice.—B. H., Middlcfleld, Ohio, 
writes ua that ho has been successful, in saving trees 
that have been girdled by setting them deeper in the 
ground, or bunking up enough to cover the girdled 
portion. In many cases new routs start from the 
edge ol‘ tho gnawed bark when covered with iflfil. 
for the grape crop, there was no abatement of I juterests. For instance, at the Grape Growers'

Troy, Penn.) It will not do to set Norway Spruce lor 
screens or hedges and allow cattle free access to them 
They would serve yonr screen as they do your trees

fifteen or eighteen years old, if well grown, it may 
turn cattle, but not sooner, Such hedges are for she!

make a fence soouer than the famous white willow. 
Boxes for Packing Grapes. -(“ R, V.,” 8. C.) As 
popular and good a package in the market for grapes 
as any, is a square box made of thin stuff—pine is

To Keep Meat Fresh.— As farmers generally 
reside at u distance from regular meat markets, 
the following directions for keeping meat may 
be of use to those that try it:—Out the meat in 
slices ready to fry; pack it in a jar, in layers, 
sprinkle with salt aud pepper just enough to 
make it palatable.; place on the top a thick 
paper or cloth, with suit half an Inch thick; 
keep this on all the while. Meat can bo kept 
l'or three weeks in the summer, and the last will 
bo as good as the first. 
Paring Potatoes. —Many persons, in pre¬ 
paring potatoes for cooking, pare off a thick 
slice from tho surface instead of digging out 
tho eyes. Prof. Blot, in his lectures on the 
potato, says this skinning process is all wrong, 
m tho strength of the vegetable lies near the 
surface — the starch growing less abundant as 
the center Is approximated. Tho starch, near 
the surface, contains the nutriment—which is 
uot more than Bcven or eight per cent.— the 
balance being mainly water.

vinegar in order to curdle it; separate the curd 
from the wlicy, and mix tho whey with the 
whites of four eggs, beating the whole well to 
gether; when mixed add a little quick lime 
through a sieve until it acquires tho consistency 
of a paste. With this cement broken vessels or 
cracks can be repaired; it dries quickly, and 
resists the action of fire and water.

thing on bedbugs. Wash the articles and places
