The minutes were approved.
The committee on Fruits had nothing to
report from last meeting.
b. Strattan stated that during his recent
visit to the city of Philadelphia, he had spent
few hours at the country seat OF Joseph
Lowering. the noted sugar refner and Horti-
culturist. He presented to the Society two
copies of Coverings tract upon the mauufac-
ture Of sugar from the Sorghum Sacchara-
tum. and samples of refined and loaf sugar,
which We're pronounced equal to the best
Southern cane, and free from all foreign
taste or popularity. In Coverings mind not
doubt remains Of the ultimate success Of
the Chinese cane. or OF the facility with
which the Juice can be converted into sugar.
The plant must be ripe before cutting and
few general details we'll understood and
practiced. which requires. however, no more
experience than the ordinary process Of soap
making In a farmers family.
B. Strattan was much interested in the
Grape and Orchard Houses Of the same gen
tleman. the remarkable success Of which ap-
peared to be owing to q judicious admxture
Of common sense and rotten sods. The last
mentioned article constitutes the bulk Of the
material used in the pots where his Grapes
and trees were planted. The Grape plants
were two years old from the eye, and after
fulfilling their obligation in bearing an enor
nous crop for the proprietor. were thrown
away and their places supplied by plants two
years old. as before treated on the spur sys-
| tenn.
The Orchard house is rough and cheap
structure Of boards, with a common shed
roof Of glass. two hundred and fifty feet in
length. An immense variety of fruits were
coming into bloom. independent. in great
measure. OF the casualties incident to out. Of
door culture, and the prof. as well as pleas
ure of this mode seems to have resulted from
the experiment. His plan of treatment is
essentially that of Rivers.
The discussion of Grape Grating was de-
fe:red to next meeting. Adjourned.
