bership, reported in favor of adopting the title 
of “ The Horticultural Society (embracing the 
Fruit Growers’ Society) of Western New York.” 
They reported against raising the fee ot mem- 
j bership; after some discussion the report was 
adopted. Changing the name and in part the 
objects of the Society was a measure much need¬ 
ed, in order to give a wider scope and range to 
the discussions. They will hereafter embrace all 
Horticultural topics, and we may look for exhibi¬ 
tions of Horticultural products, which will be 
worthy the character and aim of the Society. 
AN INVITATION. 
A letter was- read from H. H. Doolittle, in¬ 
viting the Examining Committee, and all inter¬ 
ested in fruit culture, to visit Oaks Comers, 
Ontario Co., or Geneva, and inspect his Seedling 
Raspberries—the Red Flavored and SeneeaBlack- 
Cap. The best time will he the last week of the 
ripening of the common Black cap. 
THE DISCUSSIONS. 
From the list of subjects presented by the 
Business Committee the first topic taken up for 
discussion was—“ Which are the best four vari¬ 
eties of Strawberries for market ? ” 
Seeds.— Save seeds as fast as they ripen. The 
earliest are the best, usually. 
The Western New York Fruit Growers’ Asso¬ 
ciation held its Summer Meeting in this city on 
Thursday, June 27th. The attendance was not 
large, nor did the members seem inclined to 
discuss very thoroughly the topics chosen by the 
Committee. The show of Strawberries was fair, 
particularly in the line of new seedlings. No 
other fruit was exhibited, but some flowers 
graced the tables. 
The Report of the Committee on Strawberries 
may properly take the place of a more extended 
description of varieties on exhibition. It is as 
follows: 
STRAWBERRIES. 
Ellwangcr & Barry, twenty-eight named varie 
ties; nineteen seedlings unnamed. 
H. E. Hooker, five named varieties. 
H. E. Heath, two named varieties. 
J. W, Gray, one variety. 
M. Rowley, one variety. 
O. Weeks, two varieties. 
E. M. Conklin, one variety. 
P. 0. Reynolds, four varieties. 
Frost & Co,, one variety. 
Worden & Son, one under name of Golden 
Seeded, which your Committee regard as identi¬ 
cal with Triomphe de Gand. 
J. Kcech, four Seedlings, under name. The 
Gen. Meade and Gen. Sheridan we would com¬ 
mend as worthy of trial. Gen. Grant is claimed 
Grapes.— Thin the trait on young vines. Over¬ 
bearing is ruinous to young plants.

CANNING FRUITS, 
As the season of fruits Is just commencing, 
anything that will enable it to be successfully 
canned at a small expense, will very much pro¬ 
long the senson. Only those who have tried it 
know the satisfaction derived from eating u dish 
of strawberries or peaches in mid-winter as fresh 
as when gathered. The annexed method of 
canning fruit was furnished at the Now York 
Farmers’ Club by Mr. Powers of Oswego Co., 
New York: 
“ I will suppose your fruit and glass cans all 
ready. I prefer cans with glass covers. 1 scald 
the fruit in a largo tin pan with juice or water to 
cover it. Put half a teacup of cold water Into 
every can, and fill np with hot water. Put the 
covers and rubbers also into hot water. Now 
empty n can aud fill up with hot fruit, and then 
another. Let them stand open till the hand can 
be held npou them without burning.

As soon 
as filled cut writing paper the size of the cun, 
one for each, and when cool slip one over the 
fruit entirely, and fill up the can on the top of 
the paper with boiling juice, and seal at once. 
Ladies, try this way; thftfruit will never mould, 
and keep any time, if you don’t eat it. The 
papers keep the fruit from rising to the top of 
the liquid. There Is no use of setting cans into 
water to heat them, or of putting them into 
quilted bags; it is too troublesome. I let the 
fruit shrink, and then fill up to the cover as 
close as possible. Ladies must be governed by 
their own common sense. Men attempt to give 
direction, but their wives have to tell them, and 
they are likely to forget.”

varie¬ 
ties that he could recommend for that purpose, 
Ellwanoer named Wilson, Triomphe de 
Gaud; thought well of the Green Prolific. The 
Jueunda was not a great bearer, but sold well. 
“ Which are the six best varieties for ama¬ 
teurs ? ” was next discussed. 
Ellwanoer named Alpine (red and white) 
and Hooker added to Wilson, Triomphe, Green 
Prolific and Jueunda. 
Thomas, Union Springs suggested that the 
members vote on slips of paper which should 
be collated and read by the Secretary. The re¬ 
sult was as follows: 
t There were In all twenty-eight ballots cast, 
with six names on each ballot. Triomphe 
dc Gand was on every ballot, 28; Wilson’s next, 
22; Hooker, 82; Jueunda, 17; Agriculturist, l*i; 
Russell’s Prolific, 9; Green Prolific, 4; Trollope’s 
Victoria, 4. The other varieties named were 
scattered among twenty other kinds, each of 
which had from one to four votes. 
Next was discussed “ the best and most eco¬ 
nomical method of cultivating the Strawberry 
for market.” 
Wicks, Monroe Co., was in favor of planting 
each spring, letting the plants run together, 
taking one crop, and then renewing the bed. 
Plants the rows 3y{ feet apart and the plants 15 
inches apart in the row, keeps them perfectly 
clean the first year, but does not cultivate at all 
the second. Sometimes takes the second crop, 
but it is usually a small one. Had raised at the 
rate ol 300 bushels per acre by this method. 
HOW TO RAISE CAULIFLOWER. 
“ Ihe best of all fiowers,” said a famous Eng¬ 
lish writer, “ is the cauliflower.” That it is a 
very palatable article of food, none wiU deny 
who have eaten it. The question is how to 
ialso line plants, with plump, tender, crispy 
heads. For the first cutting of the season, the 
Early Paris and Demi-dnr are probably the best. 
For late, the Erfurt White, Le Normund and 
Walehereu. The first crop should be started 
in a hot-bed or cold frame. If the turnip fly

Borne parties Inquire or ua how they shall proceed to

GEN. SHERIDAN. 
Worden— The Triomphe de Gand will not 
produce well if tbe plants run together. Culti¬ 
vates his berries four years, aud if kept in hills 
the crowns seem to be renewed and the bearing 
in kept up. 
Babcock thought the best way was to culti¬ 
vate in rows 3% feet apart and keep tbe runners 
off. The beds can be kept in bearing three or 
four years. 
IIoag agreed mainly with the last speaker, ex¬ 
cept it was not so convenient to water the plants, 
as when in beds of the right width. The beds 
should be so arranged as to be driven over with 
a water cart k> dry weather. When the vines 
run together the second crop is nearly worthless. 
None*but first class fruit will sell for paying 
prices. 
Langwobthy thought a good way is to culti¬ 
vate installs the first year and let them run to- 
gethcr’tbc second, and thus get two crops. Mr. 
L introduced the following resolution: 
“ In view of the inconvenience of a Strawber¬ 
ry requiring to be fertilized for the purpose of 
securing productiveness, this Society deems 
such a plant unprofitable for the use of the mil- 
ion; therefore,
