A CURE FOR ASTHMA. 
Asthma sufferers need no longer leave home an<j 
business inox-der to be cured. Nature has pro¬ 
duced a vegetable remedy that will permanently 
cure Asthma and all diseases of the lungs and 
bronchial tubes. Having tested its wonderful 
curative powers in thousands of cases (with a 
record of 90 per ceut permanently cured) and de¬ 
siring to relieve human suffering, I will send free 
of charge to all sufferers from Asthma, Consump¬ 
tion, Catarrh, Bronchitis and nervous diseases, 
this recipe in German, French or English, with 
full directions for preparing and using. Sent by 
mail. Address with stamp, naming this paper, 
W. A. Noyes, 847 Powers Block. Rochester. N. Y. 
SHORT FRUIT NOTES. 
What I have seen of the Emma peach 
leads me to think that it will fill a place 
just after the season of the Elberta. It 
is not as large, however, as the Elberta, 
but in other respects it is all that can be 
desired. [Prof.] w. j. green. 
Ohio. 
The Clinton Grape.— We still sell a 
number of Clinton; have booked orders for 
8,000 for Spring delivery. It makes a fair 
claret, though the Bacchus is preferable, 
as the latter contains more coloring matter 
and generally ripens more evenly. 
Jefferson Co., Mo. bush & sons. 
The Captain Ede peach is one of my 
favorites, and I have very few weak points 
to offer relative to it—the only one that I 
can mention, as experienced with me here, 
is that of overbearing. In most instances 
it sets too much fruit, and should be 
thinned to obtain best results; when so 
treated it is a very fine, large peach. I 
consider it one of the best for market and 
garden purposes. It is rather globular in 
form, similar to Elberta; ripens in early 
August. D. S. COLLINS.
