BERRIES IN THE NEW YORK MARKET. 
FOR the last Three or four years the*berry crop 
has been quite light throughout the country,— 
consequently It has paid some growers a very 
handsome profit, they having realized more for 
a half crop than they formerly did lor a full one. 
Hence the profits of the crop, as reported by the 
press and dealers in plauts, have induced many 
persons to engage in the business, and this year 
I presume there were ten acres in berries to one 
last year, though owing to repeated heavy rains, 
which damaged the berries, they have at times 
been sold very low. I send you a sketch, which 
I have prepared during the berry season, giving 
some of the various fluctuations and the causes. 
The first berries that we received this season 
was on May 9th, from Norfolk, \ a. It was one 
chest, containing 48 quarts, and sold for 82 per 
quart. The second arrival from the au»e place 
sold from 75 cte. to 81 per quart. The third lot 
was received on the 17th, and sold from 50 cts. 
to 60 ets. per quart. Of course, each arrival be¬ 
ing larger than the preceding one, prices fell in 
proportion. The Baltimore berries now began

A Valuable Cherry Tree.—A fanner named 
Palmer, residing in North Webster, recently sold 
the cherries picked from a single tree— Napoleon 
Bigarreati—to parties in this cit y for the sum of $51.52. 
About one-eighth of the yield of the tree was reserved 
for or applied to home uses. These included would 
have made the sum neurly $58,—a pretty good return 
from a single cherry tree in one season. 
Apricots Well Sold.—A commission fruit dealer 
In New York Mr. C. W.Idell.i writes“I have 
just sold one bushel of apricots from Delaware, 
put np in the American Basket Co. quart baskets, for 
$82. Do you think that will pay the grower ? ” 
to 40 cts. per quart; but instead of these prices 
the wagoners loaded them for from 10 to 15 cts. 
per quart.. This delay was a sad blow to the 
owners of the berries. Delaware berries were 
now in market to compete with the Baltimore 
berries. Being the first pickings, and in better 
order than the Baltimores, they took the lead in 
prices, the best selling readily at 60 ets. per qt. 
Some very large, handsome berries, called Per¬ 
ry’s Seedlings, sold for $1.50 per quart, but I did 
not see these and consequently cannot describe 
them. On the 5th prices ranged at about 50 cts. 
per quart; on the 6th, from 30 to 40 ets. A few 
berries more came in from Monmouth Co., N. J., 
and also from.Burlington Co., N. .J., and sold 
for 20 cts. per third quart basket. The quantity 
now arriving is about as large as we have gen¬ 
erally received at any time during the season for 
the last three years, and prices lor good, hard 
berries hold firm. 
On Saturday, June 8th, we received another 
of those sudden reverses of the trade that arc 
so very unpleasant to dealers and unprofitable to 
the owners of the fruit. At 4 A. M. berries were 
in demand at 40 to 50 cts. per quart, but as the 
various train* 1 arrived the quantity increased, 
mid.at noon large quantities could be bought at 
15 cts. per quart. Such a flood of fruit was 
poured in among us as many of us had never 
witnessed before, and we thought never would 
again,—but we have been sadly disappointed. 
Every part of our couutry was represented 
where this fruit was grown. If 1 mistake not, 
Adams’ Express Co. had six car loads of South¬ 
ern berries, averaging 0,000 quarts each, and

ed, thau with a good supply of root only, with¬ 
out sufficient time to. establish themselves before 
cold weather. In taking a plant up, if the next 
younger is not sufficiently rooted to suit you, re¬ 
move its runner from the plant, you take up and 
bury the end of it so as to nourish the younger 
plant a while longer before its removal. In this 
way you can commence a bed as soon as you 
have a few plants large enough to set, and with¬ 
out waiting for raiuy weather, continue planting 
from t ime to time as fast, as your plants are suffi¬ 
ciently large. Of course you should not, as a 
general rule, remove plauts until they have 
formed a good supply of roots. Recollect that 
the soouer well rooted plants are set, the more 
fruit you will have next season.

While speaking of the Wilsons, I will give you 
the result of another patch. Mr. Kearney, re¬ 
siding near New Brunswick, N. J., informs me 
that lie had one piece planted in berries 80 yards 
long and 16 wide, from which he picked 4,000 
pints that returned him $407. 
Some of the berries received from Delaware 
were of a nondescript character that were not 
worth sending to market. Although the grow¬ 
ers were at as much expense to send, and the 
game amount of labor required to grow them, 
they did not realize more than one-half the 
amount of money for their crops. From what I 
saw of the Jucundu, I think it will bear trans¬ 
portation well. The Agriculturist is also a good 
traveler, il' not piekd too ripe. I sold a few of 
the Ida; they were quite an interior berry, al¬ 
though that may uot be their general character.

THE CATAWISSA RASPBERRY 
This remarkable variety of the raspberry 
family needs a little attention at this season 
of the year, in order to secure an abundant crop 
iu its second or autumn stage of fruiting. Drive 
a stake about four feet long In each hill, and re¬ 
move all the caneB that have started up from 
tbe bottom, of this year’s growth, except about 
four. Put a string around those left and draw 
the string until the canes are compressed around 
the stake so that each cane will be from ten to 
fifteen inches from the stake. Unless they are 
staked up, we find that the canes spread about 
too much and bend down to the ground. The 
hills need thinning out each year, so as not to 
become too bushy. In the fall or early spring 
we cut all the hill back within 10 or 15 inches of 
the ground, and in this way two regular crops 
are grown ol' delicious fruit, the last of which is 
very abundant during the month of October.

mass ol rotten berries was never seen in our 
market. Although early in the morning many 
of them sold at a good price, when the pur¬ 
chasers came to examine them they were found 
to be in such a poor condition that they were 
returned to the dealers, and by them thrown in 
the river. All through this week the effects of 
the storm were to be seeu ou the berries, and 
meny thousand quarts could be bought from 6 to 
8 cts. This state of the market eoutinued until i 
Saturday morning, which is our great market 
morning, when berries went up with a jump. 
The cause of this rise was that the former low 
prices did not pay the expenses on the berries, 
consequently many growers did uot pick them; 
and the arrivals being quite light, aud the de¬ 
mand very large, prices went up to 20 cts. per 
quart boxes, and 6 cts. per basket for the one- 
lourth quarts. 
On Tuesday of the uext week, Mr. Knox sent 
the New-Yorkers a specimen of his Jucunda, or 
700, and they were noble specimens of fruit. 
What Babncm’s fat boy is to babies, or his 
giantess to common-sized women, so were these 
monsters to the berry tribe. Only think of 16 
berries filling a pint cup! He sent several eases 
of the No. 1 in pint cups, which sold from 35 to 
40 cts. per pint, and some of the 2d quality in 
quarts. These prices would have been nothing 
to boast o‘f in other seasons,—but in this year of 
plenty they did well. It takes Knox to show up 
a fine berry, and I hope that those persons who 
purchase plauts from them may live to see such 
grown on their vines. The sales continued about 
a medium price until the close of the season,— 
which is about July 3d, unless for a few berries 
grown in the interior of this State, which con¬ 
tinue a few days later. 
Varieties. — I presume some growers would 
like to hear the result of the different varieties 
that were sent to market, and the condition 
they arrived in,—for this is one of the moBt im¬ 
portant items to a grower. I have made close

Through our system of supplying Clubs throughout 
the eoautry, consumers in all parts of the United States 
can receive their Teas at the same prices (with the small 
additional expense «f transportation) as though they 
bought them at our warehouses lu this city. 
Some parties Inquire of us how they shall proceed to 
get np a club. The answer Is simply thisLet each per¬ 
son wishing to join in a club, say how mnch tea or coffee 
he wants, and select the kind and price from our Price 
List, as published lu the paper or in out circulars. Write 
the names, kinds, and amounts plainly on a list,and when, 
the club Is complete semi It to u« by mall, and we will put 
each party's goods In separate packages, aud mark the 
name npon them, with the cost, so there neflrl he no con¬ 
fusion In their distribution —each party getting exactly 
what he orders, and no more. The cost ol transporta¬ 
tion the members of the club can divide equitably among 
themselves. 
The funds to pay for the goods ordered can be sent by 
drafts on New Fork, by post-office money orders, or by 
Express, us may suit the convenience of the Club. Or, If 
the amount ordered exceed *30, we will, IT desired, send 
the goods by Express to “ collect ou delivery." 
Hereafter we will send a complimentary package to the 
party geRlRK RP Club. Onr profits are small, but wo 
will no as liberal as we can afford. We send no compli¬ 
ant infu riued by tbe dealer wbo sold lb eta that 
they are a first-quality market berry,—that is, a 
firm, good berry to carry, aud a good bearer. 
There were many other varieties, but their 
character is too well known to speak of. I will 
just throw out thu hint to purchasers of plants 
—that it is a very good idea for them to consult 
some good dealer in fruits in regard to the char¬ 
acter of those berries that they may think of 
planting, and not depend entirely ou those who 
huve plauts to sell. 
Packager. — Of all the varieties of packages, 
and their name is legion, that are sent to our 
city, Beecher's Pints take the lead. Cook’s 
are equally as good, but the prices are against 
them. Beecrek should get up a half-pint cup 
for raspberries, which would drive all the splint 
baskets out of the market.
