Management OF tho Orchard.


Mr. EDrToR.-Your correspondents article
on the management Of the Peach Orchard, (see
Cutivator for Jan. p. 80. has strong advocate
in the person Of Mr.. John Mason, tenan, of John
Gall, Esq, Of Ilandonfeld, New Jersey, who
cnliivatesa noble farm of 200 acres, upon which
is an extensive orchard of apple trees of the fl.
nest kinds. In late conversation with Mr.
Mason, who is a native of the eastern States
and very intelligent man, bred originally to
mercantile profession, he remarked:
"When came here, found that the orchard
had been kept under careful tillage, .snch man.
agement being considered essential to its well
being, according to the generally received opin
ion but Observed that although the blossom
ing of the trees was abundant the trees them.
selves soon become covered with the nests of
caterpllars so thick as to give the appearance
of hoar frost; /; while the fruit soon after began to
drop off in immense quantities ; what rema med,
being cankered and almost worthless. there
fore determined to change the plan, and mme.
dately laid the orchard down to grass, conver.

and turning in young cattle to Craze occasion
ally. The next year there were scarcely any
catterpillars' nests to be scen the hogs picking
up the fallen fruit, and destroying the malady of
the bud. The year following, the evil was TO.

finest quality, and enormous in quantity and
atpresent know no orchard go vigorous, or that

find that the system of"rigid pruning Of the
peach tree" has been adopted by the Messrs
Downing at their extensive nurseries at New.
burg, and no doubt it will be attended with sue.
cess ; the fact that "no tree bears the knife so
well as the peach" having long since been as
certained and verified by universal practice in
England. And to prove my faith by my works,
l have taken off many leading branches the
present spring, and find the trees much impro-
we'd in appearance by the operation. The ex.
pertinent has led to the inquiry, whether, as it
isproposed to keep the orchard in grass as hog
pasture, the mode proposed would not admit of
their being planted thicker or nearer together
depending on the system of "rigid pruning" to
keep them within due bounds and with upright
heads atfording proper degree OF exposure to
atmospheric influence, and due and equal pro
portion Of sunshine I! The question is an inter.
esting one; would your correspondent take it
up! Your subscriber.
