THE RASPBERRY. 
After the Strawberry season, and standing next 
in importance as a berry for family and market 
supply, comes the Kaspberiy. Its culture, though 
simple and easy, is not as extensive as that of the 
former fruit, and herein farmers and others who 
aim to grow what fruit they need for family use, fall 
short of appreciating its value. In fact, none of the 
chief varieties of berries and small fruits should be 
neglected, for with proper attention they will never 
fail, in any locality or climate of our country, to 
yield generous supplies. Strawberries, raspberries, 
blackberries, currants and gooseberles, should be 
placed in their fresh state upon every farmer’s table 
each day for at least three months, and in a preserved 
cond ition for as much longer time as may be desirable. 
The introduction of the Doolittle Black Cap was 
the greatest step made towards a general cultivation 
of the raspberry. It possesses to an eminent de¬ 
gree many popular qualities. It is adapted to a 
great diversity of soil and climate; it is easy to 
propagate, hardy, productive, invariably yields an 
abundance of fruit, and will bear more neglect in 
culture than any other raspberry. It bears the 
same relation to its family or tribe that the Wilson 
does to strawberries, or the Concord to grapes. It 
is the fruit for the million. But when the first 
strong, imperious demands of the appetite are sat¬ 
isfied, and the taste begins to appreciate quality it is 
found lacking. It may be the variety for the mil¬ 
lion, hut the epicure will declare it is not the fruit 
for him. 
The best raspberries in point of quality are found 
among6t that class which propagates by means of 
suckers from the roots, and not from the tips of the 
canes. They will not bear neglect in culture equal 
to the Black Cap varieties, tor are they so hardy or 
capable of transportation, but for table use they are 
superior. Their color is of various shades of red and 
orange or yellow; most of them are much larger. 
We mention as good varieties, the Antwerp, red and 
white, Fastollf, Franconia, French Naomi, red ; Col. 
Wilder, cream-colored and Brincle’s Orange. 
The soil for raspberries should be rather moist 
than dry, and rich and deep. Loams are best, and 
light sands or heavy, 6tiff clays, are unsuitable. 
Three or four suckers are generally planted in a hill 
to form a stool, and five or six cancs are left at each 
annual pruning for bearing; they are tied to stakes 
or spread out fan form and fastened to a wire 
stretched along the rows. In the Northern States 
all tender varieties need protection, which is easily 
given by placing a small mound of earth against the 
stool to bend the canes over without danger of 
breaking, then laying them prostrate and covering 
slightly with soil. The crop is always larger and 
surer for protection, even if there is no danger of 
winter killing. After five or six years it is best to 
renew the plantation on fresh soil. 
MY ORCHARD — EARLY BEARING. 
Five years since I set an apple orchard of about 
one hundred trees, embracing eight or ten varieties. 
A dry season followed,—the setting was rather late, 
—and the trees made very little growth the first 
year. Some varieties barely lived. A very severe 
winter followed, the thermometer falling on one 
occas.on to thirty-five degrees below zero. Nearly 
one - half of the varieties winter killed. A row 
of Tompkins County King — nine in number — 
were all killed except one. The same happened 
to a like row of Maiden Blush. Lady Apple, 
Twenty Ounce and High Top Sweeting all killed 
down to snow line. Since the first setting, I have 
lost about fifteen by late fall growth and rabbits, 
which have been replaced by others. To-day nearly 
ono-half the whole orchard is in bearing, including 
some only two and three years’ set. A Keswick 
Codlin commenced bearing the second season, and 
has borne fruit regularly .every year. Kirkbridge 
White commenced to bear the second year. Tal- 
man Sweet, Carolina Red June and Red Astracan 
bore the third season. DaehesBe of Oldenburgh 
and Siberian Crabs began to bear the third year. 
When I set this orchard my wife thought it a long 
way in the future when it would commence bear¬ 
ing, and wondered if we should “ever live to Bee 
the day.” At the time I set this orchard, old Mr. 
Sanborn, a neighbor, had an orchard in bearing 
that he raised from the seed sown after he was 
sixty-five years old. He said some of the neighbors 
laughed at him and told him he was foolish to sow 
apple seeds at his age, as he would never live to see 
the fruit. But he did gather from that sowing for 
several years. He told me he had raised two or¬ 
chards up to bearing from the seed, in Canada, be¬ 
fore he emigrated to Wisconsin. 
Mr. 0. Clough of this town informs me that 
three year old trees from the nursery, that he set 
five years ago, are now heavily loaded with fruit. 
Of dwarf pears set five years since, a part com¬ 
menced to bear the third year. Dwarf plums had 
fruit the third year, but were all destroyed by cur- 
culio. Grapes, with very poor care, gave from five 
to twenty bunches to the vine the fourth year. 
From the above we would infer that a man may 
plant out hardy varieties of fruits in Wisconsin 
with a reasonable expectation of their commencing 
to hear in five years. Most failures in my orchard, 
I think, were caused by not understanding what 
varieties were adapted to our climate.

MULTIPLYING SEEDLINGS. 
A correspondent of the Canada Farmer puts 
forth the following suggestion:—“Everybody con¬ 
versant with fruit raising is aware that good fruit 
trees are raised from seed, in fact that our best 
varieties originate in no other way; but the pro¬ 
portion of good seedlings iB so small, it is so long 
waiting for them to bear, and the whole expense 
and tronble of bringing them out so great, that any 
plan of lessening the expense and time will be con¬ 
sidered important. My plan is this 'Take cuttings 
from such seedlings as may be considered worth 
testing, and graft or bud them upon the previous 
year’s wood, of a healthy grown tree. In this way 
an immense number of scions could be put on one 
tree, and nearly every orchard has one or more 
suitable trees, which do but little in the way of 
bearing fruit. I am of opinion that the wood of a 
young plant grafted into a tree of mature growth, 
would hear as soon as a scion from the old tree. 1 
may be wrong; the thing has not been tried yet • 
but it it succeeds as well as I expect, what an im¬ 
mense number of apple, pear and other seedlings 
can be put on trial at a very small outlay of time or 
money. I hope some of your readers who have a 
desire to benefit themselves and the fruit-eating 
community by developing new fruits, will give my 
plan a trial, and I would just remind them that the 
budding season is not very far off, and may be taken 
advantage of for the purpose.”

RED ANTWERP RASPBERRY. 
The Red, or Hudson River Antwerp, was brought 
from England, and it is cultivated for market very 
extensively along the Hudson River, in some towns 
nearly every farmer has his plantation ranging in 
size from one-quarter acre to five acres and more. 
They are cultivated in hills and tied to stakes, and 
are laid down and covered through the winter. The 
picking season generally begins about the 5th of 
July and continues five or six weeks, and the yield 
is from one thousand to four thousand quarts per 
acre. Antwerp’s are said to do best when slightly 
shaded, and they are cultivated with success amongst 
young orchards. The most profit is made from 
small patches — say an acre or so — well cultivated. 
The fruit is usually marketed in one-third and one- 
half quart baskets. The berry is large in size, coni¬ 
cal in form, and red in color. The flavor is rich, 
clusters large, and caneB moderately strong. 
ORNAMENTAL GARDENING.-No. H. 
Your correspondent Addi says he does not always 
keep read up — “and it is only to-day, June 8th, that 
I have read the Rural of May 23 ” — then goes on 
to compliment myself, to all of which I most pro¬ 
foundly bow — and I thank him most sincerely for 
his criticism of the plan which appeared in your 
paper of that date, but think, however, if he does 
not always keep read up that he is marvelously well 
posted in the current literature of the day, and es¬ 
pecially that which pertains to Horticulture, and 
moreover fiuds time to write a great deal for various 
Horticultural papers. As he seems desirous of in¬ 
viting me to discuss the subject of Landscape 
Gardening in an amicable way I cheerfully accept, 
providing it sustains that character, as I neither in¬ 
tend or desire to be offensive in my remarks, and 
with this in view will discuss the plan in question. 
But permit me first to state that my time this 
spriDg, and even now, is so fully occupied with the 
practice of Horticulture that I can scarcely find op¬ 
portunity to write at all. Consequently I hope he 
will deal gently with any slight errors of mine. 
I believe the plans which I have furnished the 
Rural New-Yorker lately have been intended 
mainly as studies, and not specially adapted to any 
particular place except modified; hence the dwel¬ 
lings have been placed in various positions, and I 
think many will agree with me in saying that plenty 
of farm houses may be found which occupy nearly 
changes he has made in the lines of my plan, I 
would merely suggest that the oval ou the west side 
of the house would have corresponded better with 
the other improvements if the sides had been paral¬ 
lel with the house and road outside of it, not made 
to run up to the fence. 
He says he is not an Old Country Gardener, never 
studied bis subject elsewhere than in this country. 
That is his misfortune, for there are many things to 
be learned abroad that we know but little about 
here; and Landscape Gardening is one of tho things 
that may profitably be studied on the other side of the 
Atlautic. Addi knows that the greater part of the 
most successful Horticulturists in the United States 
are, or have been, Old Country Gardeners. Let me 
state that in my youth 1 studied under an Old Country 
Gardener whose name was familiar a few years since 
to every Horticulturist in America, and though now 
deceased his memory is still cherished by every nur¬ 
seryman in the .'and; and by none more 30 than 
myself. He waV'he model nurseryman of his day, 
and I esteemed j an honor to serve him a time 
when his nurser^was located on the hill where the 
elite of New York now reside. I would respectfully 
suggest that, if Addi were to take a few lessons from 
some of the Old Country Gardeners in his immediate 
neighborhood, it might assist him materially in his 
efforts to improve the public taste and perhaps con¬ 
vince him of tho error of introducing such a tree as 
the Lombardy Poplar in connection with small shrubs 
on half an acre of land.

tion and improvement, as my wish is for him to get 
up another, showing what, io. his judgment, would 
be the best way to improve it in accordance with 
the conditions which will he shortly mentioned. 
In the fall of 1853 1 was employed to remodel an 
old-fashioned place, and this is the plan as it then 
existed. A, is the Dwelling, a large and substantial 
brick building, suited to the wants of a first class 
family; the additions in the rear being for kitchen, 
servauts’rooms, &c. B., Barn and Stables. C, Barn

Pears, Plums, &e. F, Kitchen Garden. G, Carriage

In the changes contemplated everything was re¬ 
quired to be very plain but very neat, and I was 
requested to use the 3hrubs and trees which were 
growing on the place in its decoration, and to re¬ 
move the barn and stables, and locate new ones 
elsewhere on the grounds. The place was bounded 
on the south by the main or public road, and on the 
east by another street of less importance. In re¬ 
model iug the ground nothing was desired by the 
proprietor but lawn, trees, shrubs, the necessary 
roads and walks and a small flower garden to be 
edged with box, (there being a considerable quantity 
growing on the grounds.) A small orchard and 
vegetable garden, but no glass structure of any 
kind. The west side of the house was towards the 
city, and on that side the carriage road must be 
placed, and the place when completed was intended 
to present just such grounds as every wealthy farmer 
might and ought to have, though the proprietor was 
not a farmer as usually understood. 
Now, if Addi is really desirous to advance the 
public taste, he will present bis views in regard to 
the improvement of this place, supposing himself to 
be working under the same restrictions which 1 have 
mentioned, as being imposed on me. After he has 
done this 1 will then give a plan of the Place 18 i™. 
proved by me and as it now exists.

FOREIGN FRUITS AND NUTS. 
The best lemons come from Sicily and Malaga, the 
latter are very thick skinned, and are preferred for 
summer use. They are worth from § 3.50 to §4 per 
box. Oranges come from Sicily and the West Indies, 
The former are worth from $4.50 to §5 per box, the 
latter from §0 to $11 per box. The best Dates come 
from Africa, though a few are brought from Arabia; 
these are, however, of inferior quality. The best 
dates are worth from 8c. to 9c. per pound. OliveB 
come from Spain and France. Spanish olives are 
regarded as the best; .they come in kegs, and are 
worth from 18c. to 13c. per pound. Prunes come 
from France and Turkey. The Turkish prunes are 
the best; they come in casks, and are worth from 
13)£c, to 14c. per pound. Figs are brought from 
Smyrna, Malaga, and Naples. They come in drums; 
Smyrna figs are the best, and are worth 20c. per 
pound: the others are worth 15c. per pound. The 
citron comes from Leghorn and Genoa, and is worth 
from 29c. to 30c. per pound. Pine apples come from 
the West Indies ; they are brought here in hulk, and 
are generally disposed of at auction, the price 
depending entirely on the condition they are in and 
the quantity in market. Yams come from South 
America, but they are too scarce to have a quotable 
market price. Pomegranates come from the Wes^ 
Indies; they are called a fancy fruit, and being 
brought here in small quantities, are rarely sold at 
retail. Bananas also come from the West Indies, and 
are worth from $1 to $5 per bunch, according to 
their condition and the state of the market. 
In the nut line we have eocoanut, from the West 
Indies. They come in bulk, and are generally sold 
at auction. They are worth from $40 to §60 per 
thousand. The best pecan nuts come from Texas. 
They are brought here in barrels and they are worth 
17c. per pound. Peanuts come from Africa, Virginia, 
and the Carolinas. The Virginia nuts are the largest, 
and are worth $3 per bushel. The others are worth 
from $2.62 to $2,75 per bushel. Filberts come in 
bags from Naples, Barcelona, and Sicily. They are 
worth 13c. per pound. Brazil nuts come in bags 
from South America. They are worth from 10c. to 
12c. per pound. Italian ckesunts come from Naples, 
and arc worth 15c. to 18c. per pound. The so called 
English walnuts come from France and Italy. They 
come in bags, and are worth 15c. to 20c. per pound. 
Almonds come from Languedoc and Spain. The 
best are what are termed “Princess paper shells,” 
and are worth 00c. per pound. The others are 
worth from 25c. to 35c. Italian pines are too scarce 
here to have a market value. The best raisins come 
from Malaga, and are worth $3.95 to §4 per box, 
quarter and half boxes in proportion. Currants are 
brought in barrels from the Grecian Islands. The 
barrels contain from two hundred and fifty to three 
hundred pounds. They are worth from 12c. to 13c. 
per pound. These two latter articles are brought 
here in larger quantities than any other foreign 
fruits. 
Dwarf Pears. —The editor of the Germantown 
Telegraph, in answer to inquiries as to his experi¬ 
ence with dwarf pears, and what he has noticed of 
them, replies as follows: — “ We think as highly of 
them now as we ever did, but we should not plant 
them promiscuously. We would not select many 
varieties, as some never bear at all, and others give 
hut poor satisfaction. We shall continue to culti¬ 
vate dwarfs along borders and little spare spots 
where a standard would be too large, and give them 
the same care that we would a crop of cabbages; 
but we shall set out only such varieties as have 
proved to be long-lived and productive.” 
Celery Cultivation.— This is the season to plant 
celery. The ground should be deeply worked, 
trenched, and freely manured with well-rotted ma¬ 
nure from the cow stable, or something equally 
effective iu causing plant growth. In the vicinity 
of markets, growing celery is not the least profita¬ 
ble of horticultural products. 
HORTICULTURAL NOTES. 
A Tree Protector.—L. L. Fairchild, Rolling Prairie, 
Wis., sends us a model of n tree protector, both against 
the summer sun and rabbits, which he has found effectual. 
It is made of lath, connected by wire, and is designed to 
he wrapped around the trunk of a tree. Mr. F, says; 
“Tbe rabbit s rain thousands of trees in the West. So, 
also, does the freezing and thawing of the bark in early 
spring on the southwost side of the tree. These pro¬ 
tectors, when placed around a fruit tree, ward off the 
rabbits and prevent the ‘ sun scalding.’ They are cheap, 
costing only from ouo to five cents each, according to 
height and size of tree. They will fit either a large or 
small tree. Will last for years if properly stored in the 
summer. They &re very simple and easily made, and 
can be straightened out and stored away very compactly.”

Ontario Fruit Growers’ Association .— * 1 The Summer 
Meeting of this Association was held iu Toronto, July 
8th, President W. II. M ills in the Chair. Tho attend¬ 
ance was large, the enmmer fruits exhibited fine—the 
strawberry predominating. Among the fruits on exhi¬ 
bition were early ripe apples, nectarines and peaches, 
grown in an orchard house by C. 8. Gzowski. These 
received merited commendation. Tbe discussions, with 
reference to the claims of the different varieties of fruits, 
evinced judgment and good taste, and were of a highly 
satisfactory character.

Long Sleep of a Plant.— The following remarkable 
case of suspended animation in a tree is recorded by 
Sburley Hibbard, in the Gardener’s Magazine, London, 
as having occurred under his observation. A large bay 
tree having been injured by the winter of 1860-61, was 
cut down to tho ground, but the stump was not removed. 
No signs of vegetation were visible until the present 
spring (1868,) when, after remaining dormant for seven 
years, new shoots appeared from the roots. 
Hurting Cabbage.— E. D. F., Manhattan, Kansas, asks 
for the best plan of burying cabbage for preservation 
during the winter. The customary way is to dig a trench 
in dry soil and put the heads into it, leaving the stump 
exposed. The ground should be rounded over the trench 
to throw the water from it. He also wants to know 
whether it will answer to bury onions like potatoes. We 
never saw the onion preserved in this way, and doubt 
the success of it. Who has tried it '! 
Maryland Peach Citor.—A Maryland peach grower 
says that two months since he thought Ms peach crop 
would amount to $15,000, but would now be glad to con¬ 
tract it for $1,500. 
Peaches for Illinois.—W. G. Flagg, Alton, Illinois, 
recommends the following varieties for that region:—1. 
Hale’s Early, i. Troth’s Early. 3. Large Early York. 
4. Morris’ Red Rareripe; Crawford's Early. 6. Yellow 
Rareripe. 6. Oldmixon Free. 7, Reeve's Favorite. 8. 
Stump Ibo World; Columbia. 0. Late Rareripe; Craw¬ 
ford’s late. 10. Ward’s Late Free. 11, Smock; Dela¬

Blight on Affle Trees.—o. L. A., Clyde, Ohio, asks: 
“ Will you or some of the numerous readers of the 
Rural give the cause and cure (if there be any) of the 
blight on apple trees. It has troubled the fruit growers 
of this section for several years, but is worse thiB season 
than ever before, borne trees are entirely destroyed by 
it, and others much injured." 
Barken Grape Vine.—(T. F. H.) The vine you de¬ 
scribe is, doubtless, some wild, worthless, barren sort 
which iii some way got into the nurseryman’s stock. 
You may succeed In grafting it in the spring. Ordinary 
deft grafting. Just at or under the surface, heaping earth 
around it, Is often successful. 
Apfle Tbers Dying.— J. H. F., Medina C. II., Ohio, 
says he planted out some apple trees laBt spring, wMch 
grew well till near July, when they commenced dying 
from the ends of the limbs, and wants to know what is 
the matter, and also what to do to stop their decaying. 
New Shoots on blackberries and raspberries should he 
pinched, to make the canes more stocky and strong to 
withstand winds. 
Watch for fire blight, on the pear and black knot on 
the plnm, and cut off and burn every shoot or branch 
which shows disease. 
Budding may be begun first with the cherry, then the 
plnm and pear. 
The Grape may be propagated by summer layering 
about midsummer. 
Thin fruit where the operation is needed, and rub off 
water sprouts from trees.

WESTERN RURAL MEMORANDA. 
THAT BAG OF BEANS. 
Well ! neither the fair, unmarried, Ohio “ Bet¬ 
sey,” nor the grim, old, flabby-cheeked “Mrs. Prac¬ 
tice Economy,” from Homer, N. Y., (who egotisti¬ 
cally assumes to talk “for tbe women of the 
country” with the same right to do so that an old 
hen has to do all the cackling for the fowls of the 
neighborhood,) have drawn on me for that bag of 
beans. 
I’ve been patiently waiting to see if somebody 
would — if there is any woman in the land with grit 
enough, and practical knowledge enongh, to take 
up the glove I was tempted to throw down for my 
friend, “Mrs. Household Economy” to take up. 
“Betsey” thought, “perbapB,” she would; but 
the way she puts It, betrays her distrust of her own 
power to make a loaf of bread, or talk practically of 
household matters. 
“ Mrs. Practice Economy” says the women “are 
so busy practicing that they do not get time to 
write.” Practicing what, pray ? I have a malicious 
pleasure in answering that question for nine-tenths 
of our modern young ladies! Practicing before a 
mirror; practicing on a piano the cracked discordant 
tones of which add yearly to the victims who fill 
our insane asylums; practicing the angle at which 
a sunshade should be held over the jaunty round 
hat, aud elaborate coif-are; practicing keeping cool 
these warm days, by lolling cu dishabille in secret 
chambers and drinking, sub-rosa, ieed-drinks of a 
more or less spiritual character; practicing keeping 
away from the kitchen, but free at any time to m>- 
<pu;l with any eligible young man who may be on the 
practice; practicing how not to economize! That’s 
the troth of the matter. 
Mrs. grim, old, “Practice Economy” need not 
put on airs to me! I’ve been behind the scenes. 
I’ve seen these dear angels practice / I know how 
their boudoirs look!—how their clothing is stored 
under the bed, on the bed, in chairs, on the floor, 
aud in every possible condition and shape but an 
orderly one! I know how they take drinks on the 
sly and talk temperance to men whom these dear 
creatures eagerly desire should bind themselves by 
sacred vows to earn for the said angelics all the pin- 
money they may desire during their natural lives. 
There isn’t a sincere sentiment in their possession. 
Men are “horrible creatures,” “perfect tyrants,” 
but “awful convenient.” These are the modem 
“practice economy” creatures!—the dear darlings 
who are of far leas use and ornament in the world 
than barley Bioduet, who, with her red arms, can 
lift a wash tub full of clothes and water, can do her 
own washing, can keep herself clean without a 
“servant,” can make a good, honest wife, and is 
sure to become the mother of healthful, hearty 
children, without losing her own health. 
Bah! Talk to me of modern women who can 
practice economy! They are almost as scarce as 
beechnuts on a chestnut tree. Practice! Why it 
makes me ache to think of what these modem wo¬ 
men practice—all the foolish and horrible things in 
the whole list, from pinching their toes and squeez¬ 
ing their own waists up to murdering their own 
children! 
Practicing! 
1 should think so! 
But I've not told, yet, all I know they practice. 
I’ve not been prying into women’s affairs to no pur¬ 
pose, “ Mrs. Practice Economy,” You want more 
money, do you ? That is not strange. I never yet 
saw a dozen women who did not want more In order 
to enable them to get through the world smoothly. 
It 1 b convenient to have it. It helps in the matter 
of practicing , very much. Incog.

The American Fruit - Preserving Powders,— 
recently advertised in the Rural as “warranted to 
preserve all kinds of fruits, vegetables, cider, milk, 
butter, etc., without sugar, with or without cooking 
fruits, and without air-righting the cans,” &c.,— 
must be a valuable article if what it is represented; 
but, not having experimented, we are unable to an¬ 
swer inquiries ou the subject. Perhaps some of our 
readers who have tried the powders will report 
through the Rural for the benefit of the public. 
Meantime, those wishing to decide for themselves, 
can procure a sample of the powders at trifling ex¬

A most excellent Liniment.— Take the whites 
of two eggs, beaten to a froth, a wineglass of vine¬
