(prospective) dollars by trying to grow Heart and Bigarreau 
cherry trees. The Dukes and Morellos (especialy the latter) 
are alone to be depended upon, and there are enough of them 
that are first rate to warrant setting largely. 
PEACHES. 
Kellogg—Trying a few and anticipate success; put them 
under ground in the fall; that is, cover them sufficiently with 
dry straw and manure. Trees to be low trained. 
Brayton—Curbing with boards and filling with straw, saw¬ 
dust or dirt, will answer a good purpose. 
Willey—Never planted a peach in the West, but have seen 
them tried in various ways. Training low, bending to the 
ground and giving earth protection is the best. Planted north 
side of board fences, where snow will cover and keep off winds 
sometimes succeeds. Straw is too-loose; allows too free a cir¬ 
culation of winds. 
Society recommends Yellow Malagatune, Yellow Alberge, 
Crawford’s Early and Late, Early York and George the 4th, 
with good protection. 
PIE PLANT. 
Cooper—Strawberry plant is superior in flavor, very tender 
and makes excellent wine. 
Kellogg—Cahoon is much larger than the Strawberry; have 
the Scotch Hybrid which promises well. To secure good stalks, 
high state of top cultivation must be adopted; transplant when 
central bulb becomes hollow, once in three to five years, as it 
happens; making wine should be put off till late in the season, 
there being less fermentation at that time. 
Atwood—Make wine any time; only requires a dry place to 
work it in. 
Chandler—Linnaeus is the best for the whole season, being 
tender till frost cuts it off.
