HORTICULTURE AT THE STATE FAIR. 
FHUIT8 AND FLOWEK8. 
The inevitable “ Floral nail” tent of onr State 
Ag. Society was very meagerly occnpied with hor- 
ticnltural products until the second day. Then a 
light phower sent the water so freely into some 
parte of the tent that the exhibitors were disgust¬ 
ed, and the day after the clay dust settled so thick 
that the flowers lost their brilliance, and the 
fruit acquired a thick and uniform bloom, which 
was not, however, at all tempting to the appe¬ 
tite. There were not flowers enough to make a 
half-dozen bouquets, but there was a flue col¬ 
lection of exotics shown by Mrs. W. G. Fargo 
and Mrs. M. P. Bush, Buffalo. These suffered 
greatly from the wind and dnat, and on Friday 
morning we noticed that many of them were 
drooping from effects of the previous night's 
frost. 
In the line of fruits, Ellwangek & Barry of 
Rochester had the most varieties of grapes — 
fifty-one, we believe—also a fine collection of 
pears. C. L. Hoag <St Co., Lockport, N. 7., 
displayed some twenty-six varieties of grapes, 
among which were several plates of line Ionas 
and lamella?,—being the best representation of 
these varieties we ever saw. J. Crainb, Lock- 
port, also had a tine lot of grapes. Jacob Moore, 
Rochester, showed some very fine clusters of the 
Diana Hamburg, a promising hybrid. The Pleas¬ 
ant Valley Grape Growers’ Association had some 
twenty varieties of grapes on exhibition, the 
samples being very tine. All of them were 
natives and comprised the leading and desira¬ 
ble kinds. In this collection,‘representing hun¬ 
dreds of acres of vineyard, there were some re¬ 
markably perfect clusters of Delawares; eight 
bunches of this variety were selected which 
weighed four pounds. The (Jutawbas from 
Pleasant Valley were also remarkably fine, 
being well ripened, and showing no indications 
of disease. It is note worthy that the vicinity 
of Crooked Lake is about the only locality 
where the Catawba is extensively grown in 
which disease in some form has not devastated 
the vines or fruit There it U yet perfectly 
healthy and vigorous. The Dianas in this col¬ 
lection were large and also high and uniformly 
colored. The Keuka, an accidental seedling, 
was Bhown by F. M. McDowell, Wayne, Steu¬ 
ben Co. It Is a black, early grape, apparently 
possessing qualities of considerable value, and 
may be desirable for making red wine. Some 
sixty or more varieties of apples, besides a large 
collection of pears, were shown by E. W. Syl¬ 
vester, Lyons, N. Y. There were also some 
other collections of fruit, but we have men¬ 
tioned the principal ones. 
We don’t wish our readers to imagine this 
show, at its great Annual Fair, a representation 
of the Horticultural Products of the Empire 
State. We have In fact no reason to infer that 
the ofllcere of the Society intended or desired 
to call out this great and leading interest. No 
premiums were offered to elicit sharp compe¬ 
tition, or, when gained, of a character to be highly 
estimated by the winner. True, there were a 
few dollars offered for the largest number of 
varieties of grapes shown, but there was no 
reference to quantity or quality, and the other 
premiums consisted chiefly of worthless pieces • 
of paper, styled diplomas. We have beard, but 
will not absolutely vouch for its being a fact, 
that this premium list was made out some forty 
years since, stereotyped, and even to the present 
day the same venerable plate Is used. At any I 
rate progress in Horticulture Is ignored, and we 
are inclined to think this premium list is Dot the 
only stereotype and out-of-date fixture of the 
State Ag’l Society that needs to he broken and 
remoulded to comport with the times we live in. 
vegetables. 
A building was provided l'or this department, 
hut the raised platform in the center broke down 
the first day under the weight of a smaller 
amount of vegetables than a corner grocery 
would ordinarily display, and the exhibition 
was then transferred to 11 Dairy Hall.” It was 
simply a disgrace; and as for dairy products, aB 
no one could imagine how any possible good 
could come to the producers by exhibiting but¬ 
ter, cheese, &c., we suppose they likewise 
conld’nt Bee it, and acted accordingly. If lib¬ 
eral premiums had been offered, no doubt a fine 
show would have been the result. 
DISCUSSION ON APPLES. 
The question Bet down for discussion on 
Tuesday evening regarded the cultivation of 
the apple—whether its extension was profit¬ 
able. Maj. H. T. Brooks of Wyoming opened 
with a very interesting address, in which he 
argued for the proposition that four square rods 
of ground growing a well - cultivated, thrifty 
apple tree, will produce more food than if de¬ 
voted to any other product. The success of 
the apple in Western New York was noticed, 
and the commercial aud hygienic aspects of the 
subject ably treated. We hope to lay before 
our readers, iu a short time, a full eynopsiB, if 
not the whole of this able essay. 
O. C. Crocker of Broome Co. followed Mr. 
Brooks and maintained his position. In start¬ 
ing an orchard he thought more pains should be 
taken in planting the trees; the bed for them 
should be dug deep, the soil well pulverized. 
Lime mixed with the soil would aid to bring 
the trees iuto bearing three or four years Booner 
than if this material is absent. He would also 
deposit bones and manure in the holes and soil 
in which the young trees are to be planted. 
Had used ashes around the trees and found 
it prevented the working of the borer. The 
speaker thought that apples alone were not 
the entire profit of an orchard, aB much can 
he grown in the intervening spaces of the 
rows, and if small fruits are grown there their 
yield might be worth more than that of the

the McLaughlin 
^ e herewith present our readers with an en¬ 
graving of one of the beat plum 3 grown — the 
McLaughlin , In quality, it is acknowledged by 
all to be nearly equal to the Green Gage, and 
many prefer it to this old favorite. The tree is 
hardy, vigorous, and productive; fruit large and 
nearly round, usually a little flattened, as shown 
apples, and in his opinion such cropping would 
not injure the apple crop. 
Solon Robinson conceded that the profits 
claimed from the apple crop might be realized 
in three or four connties in Western New York, 
but he questioned if apple culture was invari¬ 
ably profitable. He believed apple orchards 
were fast disappearing from New England and 
Eastern New York. The apple trees, as a gen¬ 
eral thing, were dying oil', and he thought wc 
should be compelled to depeHd on some other 
fruit for a supply in the future. The. cause of 
decay was inexplicable, and trees under all con¬ 
ditions went the Bamc way. They begin dying 
at the ends of the limbs, and continue down 
ward until the tree is used np. He observed 
that orchards standing In sod for a long time 
should not be plowed deep and manured ; such 
treatment might be fatal to the trees. Ashes 
were one of the best manures for trees. He 
considered that the cause of the failure of ap¬ 
ples throughout New England, <&c., unknowu; 
it was, however, a melaueholy fact; the best cul¬ 
tivators lost their most thrifty trees. 
O. C. Crocker thought shelter was of great 
value. Instanced an orchard that had received 
protection from a forest on a hill; it was thrifty 
and bore well,—hot the timber being cut oil - the 
apple trees failed. He believed iu plowing old 
orchards deep, and manuring them; had done so 
with great success. The orchards were not fail¬ 
ing in his region where well cultivated. 
Mr. Parsons, Niagara Falls, advocated good 
cultivation. Instanced two orchards planted at 
the Batne time; one had been cultivated, the 
other not, and the former, after the lapse of a 
few years, was three times the best. 
H. T. Brooks said in Alleghany Co. there was 
no indication that apples were failing, nor did 
he believe they were in Western New York. 
Mr. Hawley, Syracuse, said that in Onon¬ 
daga Co. the peaches had failed and the apples 
were going the same way. He advocated shel 
ter for orchards. 
Mr. Kuatteck, Chenango Co., described two 
orchards in his vicinity that had been pastured 
with hogs year after year, and the trees bore re¬ 
markably well and were healthy. Thought hogs, 
by eating the fallen fruit aud rooting up the 
ground, greatly benefited an orchard. 
Mr. Qujmby, Monroe Co., thoaght it of great 
importance to select good trees in starting an 
orchard; would not plant those over four years 
old from the bud. Spoke in favor of enriching 
the ground, proper pruning, and good cultiva¬ 
tion. Would not grow a crop near the trees, 
though part of the space between them might 
he given to other products. All hla experience 
aud observation taught him that orchards should 
he cultivated and not cropped. In reply to a 
question he said it made no difference, in his 
opinion, whether or not a tree was set in the 
same relative position to the points of the com¬ 
pass as it occupied in the nursery. He would 
plant trees two inches deeper than they stood in 
the nursery. He gave the preference to the 
Baldwin for profit.—o. f. w.

CURRANTS IN THE NEW YORK MARKET. 
The prices realized by the sale of currants this 
year have surprised even the dealers. Like all 
other fruits, at the beirinjuic* ~r 
they promised to be, and were very abundant, 
and the dealers anticipated very slow soles and 
low prices, yet they were most agreeably disap- 
appointed. The first arrivals were about July 
1st, but being quite green, did not soil very well, 
yet they brought eight cents per pound. In a few 
days ripe oues sold for 10 cents, but as the quan¬ 
tity increased prices fell to eight cents, and at 
that price they sold rapidly. 
Afterwards the quantity increased to such an 
extent that the prices fell to four cents. One 
cause of this depression of prices was that the 
people were not ready to purchase for their win¬ 
ter’s use, and finding them coming in freely and 
falling in prices, concluded ttiat they would be 
very eheap, and consequently did not purchase. 
But the scene soon change; for at this junc¬ 
ture the preservers began to purchase, and they 
cleaned the market out every day. This caused 
the prices to rise again to eight cents, and some 
very choice packages sold for 10 cents. All at 
once the ladies became very much interested in 
the currant trade; they found the prices rising, 
instead of falling to two or three cents per 
pound, as they anticipated, and expressed their 
indignation quite freely toward the dealers be¬ 
cause they raised the prices. 
Cherry currants have Bolt from 15 to 20 cents 
per pound, as per quality anl style of packages. 
The demand for this fruit Is increasing every 
year, and in a short time, . hope to see them 
take the place of so many of the small ones. 
Currants are sent to mark it in almost every 
stylo of package that can le found around the 
farm house—soap and boot boxes, bushel or half 
bushel baskets, anything so they do not have to 
buy. But all are not sent in this style, for some 
growers take as much pride m sending this fruit 
to market hb any other; msny make use of the 
same boxes that they pact grapes iD, and are 
well paid for eo doing. Tie fruit that is sent 
In the rough boxes and largi baskets frequently 
receives such rough handlin' that the juice runs 
freely on arrival, and conseiuently is sold at a 
much lower price. Now and Then.

HORTICULTURAL CLEANINGS. 
Fallen Apples. — In passirg several orchards 
lately we observed the ground under the apple 
trees, in many instances, litirally covered with 
immature fruit—dropped prematurely iu conse¬ 
quence of the action of thecurculio. Leaving 
the fruit there was wrong as it afforded the 
worms a chance to escape iito the ground and 
prepare another generation if fruit pests. These 
apples, as they fell, should hive been fed to the 
hogs or otherwise destroyed, aiding by so much 
the extirpation of the great enemy of the apple 
and other fruit orthards. 
Planting Fruit Trees .—If Iruit trees arc to be 
planted out, the lurmer ahoild remember that 
something mort is necessa-y to success than 
merely digging a post hole in the ground and 
crowding the roots of a tree into it. The 
ground upon which the row* of trees are to be 
planted out, should be plowed deep enough to 
allow the surplus water to drain off readily. If 
the ground is unde refrained, so much thebettcr; 
but if not, deep plowing will partially supply 
the defect. The soil should be aided by a free 
application of well rotted manure, enabling the 
rootlets to fiud ready sustenance as they reach j 
out in search of it. Many young trees die out 
the first sea*on after plauting iu consequence of 
the sloveuly maimer of putting them into the 
ground. 
Rhubarb — Cultivation .— The fall season is a 
good one for pro (taring the ground aud planting 
out rhubarb roots. This plant may be grown to 
great advantage on ground just appropriated to 
orchard purposes. The rhubarb serves to cheek 
the growth of weeds and keep# the ground moist 
about the roots of the young trees. But, 
whether grown amoDg the trees or alone, it is 
important that the soil should be deeply stirred 
and thoroughly manured. The roots may be 
planted out as soon as the leaves have dropped. 
Tbc stools should be so divided as to leave but 
one or two buds on each bunch of roots. The 
varieties most favorably known are Myatt’s Vic¬ 
toria, Downing’s Colossal, aud the Linnaeus, a 
variety also produced by Myatt. Every fann¬ 
er’s garden would be the better for the growing 
of a sufficient quantity of this palatable plant 
for domestic consumption, if nothing more. 
Horticultural Notes and Queries. 
Grape Vine Propagation.—Wc arc asked if Diana, 
Delaware and Ives Seedling vines can be propagated by 
cuttings or single eyes in the open ground without 
the nso of frames. By cuttings all may be grown 
readily, though the Delaware is the most difficult to 
succeed with. Mr. Griffith of North East, Pa,, 
grows vines very extensively in the open uir from 
single eyes by placing them thickly in beds and tiring 
mulch. The wood Is cut close to the eye on the 
upper side, and left as long as possible on the other 
end. The mulch covers the bcdB to the depth of an 
inch or two. 
Growing the White Thorn.— A “Subscriber” 
sends us from Clinton, Iowa, the following query:— 
“Will some reader of the Rural please inform mo 
throngh the columns of that paper how to propagate 
the common white thorn (known by school-children 
as thorn-apple hush) from the seed? What lime 
of year should they he planted and how treated ? 
Has any reader ever tried making a hedge of them? 
If so, what was the treatment and what the success ?” 
Skedmno Sweet Apple.—W e are indebted to Mr. 
S. T. Short of Livouia, N. Y,, for specimens of a 
very fine sweet apple— of good size, rod, juicy, tender 
and fine-flavored. In season from Aog. 1st to middle 
of Bept. This apple originated in Livonia; has been 
called the Dun Applo, but it is proposed to call it the 
Livonia Sweeting. A good bearer, tree upright, &c. 
We think it worthy of cultivation.

PUMPKIN, APPLE AND PEAR BUTTER. 
A correspondent of the Maryland Fanner 
gives his experience and practice in the manu¬ 
facture of a kind of mock apple butter, which he 
says is an excellent article for family use, and 
more cheaply made than the old-fashioned apple 
butter. The ingredients for a five or six-pail 
kettle of butter are—2}£ bushels of pared and 
sliced sweet pumpkins, the same amount of 
pared and cored Hwaar apples, six quarts of 
molasses, two pounds of blown sugar; fifteen 
quinces and a shilling’s worth of cinnamon. 
Having prepared the Ingredients put a pnll of 
clean water in the kettle and add the pumpkin. 
Boll till flue, then add the apples gradually and 
stir to keep from burning. When done fine, mix 
the molasses In warm water and add to thu but¬ 
ter. Continue stirring for a time and then add 
the sugar. When cooked aboutenough, add the 
cinnamon, and the work is done. The pumpkin 
is made to supply the place of cider which now 
bears so high ft price as to make the butter quite 
expensive. If there Is a perceptible pumpkin 
taste the addition of a little more molasses and 
sugar will serve to destroy it while supplying a 
very desirable article for family consumption. 
When cider is used the pumpkin may be dis¬ 
pensed with, as it is only a substitute for that 
article. 
--. 
Good Plain Old-Fashioned Apple Sauce.— 
Let your stock of apples be picked over several 
times in the course of the winter, and all the de¬ 
fective owes taken out. Let the good parts of 
these be pared, and if not used for pies, he made 
iuto applc-sauee. Boil it in a preserving kettle, 
and Ur a pailful of cut apples put one sliced 
lemon. After the apples are tender add a pint 
bowl of brown Btigar, and boil them gently fif¬ 
teen minutes longer. Toward spring, when ap¬ 
ples become tasteless, a teaspoouful ol tartaric 
acid, dissolved In a little water, should be added 
to this quantity of apple. 
_ 
Vegetable Soup. —Take two potatoes and 
two onions, with two turnipB, one carrot, a little 
parsley chopped fine, salt to the taste. Cut the 
potatoes in quarters, slice the ouions, eat the 
turnip in quarters, slice the carrots. Put all iu 
a stew-pan, with three pints of water, and salt 
to the taste. Boil it down to one quart. About 
fifteen minutes before it is done add the parelcy. 
Strain it, and serve with light bread or toast. 
This is the receipt of a late eminent physician of 
Philadelphia. 
— - 
Toasted Cheese.— Mix three ounces grated 
cheese, four ounces grated bread crumbs, two 
and a half ounces fresh butter, yolks of two eggs, 
well beaten, tablespoonful of cream, teaspoonful 
of mustard, salt, and pepper to taste. Put into » 
saucepan and stir over the fi re till heated, then 
lay it upon toast aud brown it. 
Baked Rice Pudding. -Swell a coffee cup of 
rice ; add a quart of milk; sweeten with brown 
sugar. Bake about an hour In a quick oven.
