The following preparations, in which apples are 
the principal ingredients, make excellent dessert. I 
therefore send them to yon for the benefit of your 
readers: 
Affi.e-Snow. —Put twelve good tart apples in cold 
water, and set them over the fire; when soft, drain 
the water, strip the skins oil the apples, core them, 
and lay them in a deep dish. Beat the whites of 
twelve eggs to a stiff froth; put half a pound of 
finely-powdered white sugar to the apples; heat 
them to a stiff froth, and add the beaten eggs. Beat 
the whole to a stiff snow ; then turn It iuto a dosBert- 
dish, and ornament it with myrtle or box. 
A Delicious Dish of Affleb.— Take two pounds 
of apples, pare and core them, slice them into a pan; 
add one pound of loaf-sugar, the juice of three 
lemons, and the grated rind of one. Let these boil 
about two hoars. Turn it into a mould, and serve 
it with thick custard or cream. 
Affle-I’uddino.—P are and Btew three pints of

Floral Hall was under the supervision of Jamus 
Vick; and to his fine taste and liberal personal ex¬ 
penditure displayed in fitting up the tent is chiefly 
due the bucccss and brilliance of a show worthy of 
the Floral and Horticultural fame of the Umpire 
State. The. outer circle of the tent wae devoted to 
fruits, and an inner one to plants and flowers. The 
arrangement was convenient and tasteful, forming 
an attractive feature of the Fair. The center pole 
of the tent was circled abont with a raised bed of 
ornamental leaf plants and flowers bordered with the 
showy New French Marigold. On the Floral stand 
James Vick had a large general collection of pot and 
ent flowers, comprising Phlox Drummondii, Glad- 
lolas, Dahlias, Ac,, Ac. Ellwanger A Barrt, a 
tine display of pot plants, mostly of ornamental 
foliage, and a fine show of roses for the scasoB. 
Frost a Co. presented a good collection of pot 
plants and New Geraniums. C. W. Crossman 
made a good display of Dahlias. Mrs. Van Nameb 
exhibited a general collection of cut flowers. 
The display of apples, pears and grapes was pretty 
full and fair. Among the professional exhibitors of 
fruits were Ellwaxoer A Barry, who ex hibited 40 
varieties of apples, 201 of pears, 40 of grapes, 14 of 
plums and 12 of quinces. Frost A Co. exhibited 15

Our illustration represents fall size clusters ami

on viewing the cut accused the artist of having some¬ 
what over stepped the bounds of Nature, and repre¬ 
sented the fruit a little too large. But when we 
called to mind more distinctly the really mammoth 
clusters and berries we saw growing on the bushes, 
we could but admit that the finest might furnish 
such a picture. And the variety Is remarkable for 
uniformity of size of fruit even at the end of the 
season. The peculiarity of this variety suggested its

THIS WHORTLEBERRY.-No. I. 
1 am aware that few people in this country are 
interested in the result of the crop of this berry, 
but those who liv<i among them, and depend up¬ 
on mum as a means ol support, are keenly alive to 
the prospect of a good crop, which is hailed with 
Joy, while a failure produces much sorrow and 
want. If this was a cultivated fruit, the papers 
would teem with the advertisements of the small 
fruit nurserymen, informing the public where all 
the old and new varieties can be procured, as they 
have their varieties as well as other berries; but 
God has given this fruit in such abundance in some 
parts of this country that it is free for all, without 
money or price, except the labor or picking. 
Many a time, when a boy, have I eutcred the 
pines with a party of youth of both sexes to enjoy 
a “huckleberry frolic,” taking our lunch with us, 
spending the day picking berries, and returning 
home at the close of it with our pails and baskets 
filled with the delicious fruit. To us this was a day 
of keen enjoy uient. With a suit of old clothes on, 
we entered the “swamps,” leaving some one at the 
wagon to blow the horn to guide us on our return; 
wc boldly pushed on through the bushes, some¬ 
times elevated on old roots or stumps, and then up 
to oar waists, and even to our armpits, in water, 
clinging to any friendly bush that held out a help¬ 
ing hand to keep us from going under, and scream¬ 
ing to our comrades to release ue; then off with 
our clothes, wring them out, put them on again, 
and on we go with our baskets slung over our necks 
by a broad strap, as wc need the use of both our 
hands to part the bushes and pick the fruit. 
1 well remember creeping on my hands and knees 
through a thick defense of bushes, when I came 
upon an opeuing, about thirty feet in diameter, 
completely surrounded by a thick hedge of whortle¬ 
berry bushes about eight feet high. On these 
bushes the fruit hung like ropes of onions all over 
them; in fact, they were black with the largest and 
finest “swamp” berries I hail ever seen. 1 should 
think there were at least five bushels exposed to 
view. The center of ttd& circle was indeed beauti¬ 
ful. A very thick, bright green moss completely 
covered the whole surface, and well do; remember 
the pleasure the scene gave me; for a moment the 
berries were lost sight of, but my basket was soon 
filled; then down on my knees again, pushing the 
basket before me, until I had reached the outside of 
the thicket, where 1 joined my companions and 
spoke of my success. On examining this spot I 
found it was a hollow, which was in wet weather 
filled with water, hut just at this time the water 
had disappeared, leaving the moss alone to beautify

EARLY ROSE” POTATO 
THE EARLIEST AND THE BEST 
I have often been amused at hearing grape 
growers speak of the 1 ” product ripening at such and 
sack a time—often out of all known seasons of 
real maturity; and lately, in eompauy with one who 
boasted of a certain soit being ripe in his grounds 
when in my own and several other vineyards where 
1 had been examining, It was far from being ripe, I 
canvassed the subject so fairly with him that he ac¬ 
knowledged no grape could he counted as eveu ap¬ 
proaching perfect ripeness when the stem did not 
exhibit a deadeued and shriveled, blackened charac¬ 
ter at least three-fourths of an inch from its connec¬ 
tion with the branch on which it grew. Every bunch 
examined, with jnst a little spot browned, had in 
comparison with those of stem Bhriveled three- 
fourths to an inch long, a harsh aud unripe charac¬ 
ter, appreciable by any one who will carefully look 
into the subject. A 
Tut* celebrated Potato ha* proved In every respect a de¬ 
cided success, and although but a short time has elapsed 
since Its introduction. It already rnnic» a* the very best early 
potato known to cultivators. The good qualities which 
recommend It are: 
1st. It Is from ten days to two weeks earlier than any other 
potato, 
2d. It is of larger average size than any other early potato. 
3d. It la In table quality and delicacy of flavor without 
an equal. 
1th. It is In productiveness the most astonishing variety 
ever offered to the public, and the reports of the yield from 
single pound* the present season are marvelous. 
Wo give below a few reports from parties who purchased 
seed of u# during the spring, which show In what estimation 
this popular variety 1* held: 
Prom Thomas C. Andrews, Moorrstown , New Jersey. 
“ I hud Early Rose weighing half a pound in seven weeks 
from planting. One of my frleuds planted five pounds and 
dug eight bushel*." At the rate of % pounds from one. 
From William if. Warner, Wate,relict Center, N. Y. 
“ I have Jnst dug my Early Rose Potatoes, raised from one 
pound obtained from you last spring, and have 107 pounds. 
We have had a very unfavorable season, It having been nnu- 
Bually dry. I am confident I can raise 200 ponnds from one 
of seed." 
From Sam'l S. Ifttrsh, York, Pennsylvania. 
“ Last spring I purchased from yon five pounds of ‘ Early 
Ruse’ Potatoe*, and liavejnst dug the crop raised from them. 
I have nine bushel* and one peck, many of the tubers weigh¬ 
ing OTer one pound. Can you beat this?” This Is atthe rate 
of 111 pounds from one of seed. 
From l. W. llrtoys. Postmaster, West Jfacedon, N. Y. 
“ The ‘ Early Rose’ Potatoes I bought of you last spring 
prove to he earlier than any Other variety I have in cultiva¬ 
tion, and the yield from It la wonderful. The 6 V pounds av¬ 
eraged 107 pounds from each pound of seed." 
From A. U, Hollins, Waterloo, N. Y. 
" I planted five .pound* of Early Rose Potatoes received 
from you last spring, and my crop Is 1!)K bushels—at the rate 
of 234 pound* from one. I expect to plant all I hare, and 
more, if 1 can buy them." 
From (f. (k s. BoetH, Norwalk, Ohio. 
" Wo bought of you last spring one pound of Early Rose 
Potatoes, and have Jnst dug the crop from one-lialf of them, 
and we have (by measure) V/i bushels. We don’t think tho 
other half will do quite a* well, but are confident we shall 
get threo ousbels from It, making t'A bushels, or 140 pounds, 
from oue pound of seed.” 
We might easily fill several numbers of this paper with 
similar reports, but deem the above suillcient to convince 
thejpabllc that 
The Early Rose Is the King of Potatoes. 
We would urge, upon the Fanners the advantage and im¬ 
portance of purchasing their seed potatoes In the fall, as In 
most localities they will wish to plant before w can ship 
without danger of freezing, and the nrtces will be vanced 
in the spring.

The early settlers of this county paid from $1 to 
$5 per acre (or the land, In proportion to its tim¬ 
ber value, and it is singular that these persons 
never discovered its great value for fruit growing 
until they saw it published in the papers. All over 
this land this berry grows wild, and in great abun¬ 
dance in seasons of plenty. 
MONEY MADE. 
During a conversation with Mr. Rogers, who is 
an old and well known carter, he informed me that 
he knew of one family of seven persons whose 
joint ellorts in picking frequently resulted in the 
sum of $25 per day for two weeks lu succession, 
and he also knew of one young girl who made $5 
per day daring the picking season. Many families 
make this their main dependence for their winter’s 
support, aud where the children are large enough 
to work they succeed remarkably well. 
comparative value of crops. 
I will venture one opinion in Tegard to the value 
of this crop, and it is this, that the araonnt received 
for it is greater than the strawberry crop. I know 
this will appear strange to many who know but lit¬ 
tle about the amount of whortleberries sent to 
market, or their value, aud at the same time know 
all about the strawberry crop. Nevertheless, I 
think I am correct, for be it remembered that the 
strawberry crop is all over in three weeks, while the 
whortleberry is frequently in market for three 
months, and during the height of the season of a 
good crop two thousand bushels are received per 
day. I think the average price of berries this sea¬ 
son has been about §7 per bushel, although we have 
not had a full crop.

SUMMER GRAPE PRUNING, 
I notice in the account by M. B. Bateiiam of 
Lake Shore Vineyards that “some successful young 
cultivators condemn all summer trimming.” I 
think they have good reason to do so when they 
look at the condition of the vines in the various 
vineyards on the Lake Bhore. Last ycur the Dover 
Bay Company’s vines were held up as a model for 
grape growers; this year the evidence of close 
summer pruning following out the old dogmas of 
Cincinnati teachers, is so apparent in reduced foliage 
and unhealthy character of vine that even the 
greatest novice In grape growing could bat remark 
it. Ike rubbing out of all laterals and dressing 
and tying up of viuea, in order to make them look 
regular, smooth in line, and systematic, is all very 
pretty on paper, but when you practice it on nature 
and violate all her laws thereby you must expect 
rebuffs, it has taken some time to convince viue- 
yardlsts of the error of old practices, but this past 
season one of the leading members of the Cincin¬ 
nati Horticultural Society has repeated what I 
wrote some years since, viz; that “ severe and sys¬ 
tematic summer pruning was at the bottom of all 
Lime with Fkuit Trees.— Ie lime beneficial if mixed 
with soil when setting oat fruit tree*? No. As a rule 
put nothing in contact with the roots of trees when 
planting but good earth. Leaf mold or decayed *od ap¬ 
proach so near to good earth that they are exceptions to 
the rule. But put the lime, ashes and manure into or on 
the soil some time before planting the trees, or when 
their roots have become well established.
