Small Fruits.

A correspondent of the Richmond Pal
IddiWNl, in view Of the fact that the crops OF
peaches, pears, and apples are becoming very
unrelable-suggests the propriety Of paying
more attention TO the smaller fruits-black
berries, Strawberries, cherries, ETC. He sug
gests that some Of his neighbors make the
experiment of half an acre Of ground, and
predicts tho following rc0ult -
Let us suppose that some one desires TO
adopt the suggestion above. He lays of
half an acre Of good ground on which to try
the experiment. He first plants twenty
early May cherries on twenty rods Of tie
plot, which will yield, after the fourth year,
not less than one bushel cherries after
which they will rapidly increase in produc-
tiveness, until about the eighth or tenth year,
when they will produce twenty bushels
more than any one family would know how
to dispose Of for their own consumption.
Then Of raspberries let him plant twenty rods
Of the Ohio ever.bearing variety, and the
first year can gather one bushel Of choice
from his vines; and after the first year be
may depend on ten bushels Of berries every
season, and they will be in full bearing
throughout the months Of July, August, and
September.
Of strawberries, plant twenty rods Of any
Of the better kind Of fertilizers, and afteI
the first year you may depend with certainty
on ten bushels of the hest fruit that mortall

Plant ten rods in Haughton's Seedl;n!

never mildews. When fill ripe, they ar
equal to the best Of plums. Ten rods ar

familiar with that no comment Is necessary
Aier the eighty rods are in full bearing

Many persons have an idea that each W.
riety Of Strawberries comprises male and
female, or staminaie and pislillale blossom.
ed plants. Such Is not the caae; some Vari-
eties are purely pisllllale. as Hovgy's Seed.
ling, and McAvoy's Superior. The bios
SONS Of other varieties are quite deficient in
development Of pisliI and arc therefore
purely staninale varieties they grow well
and bloom ffeely, etthey never bear. Then,
again, there arc perfect nowered varieties
viz, such Is have the pisiii sufficiently dc.
veloped, and at the same time have stameas
enough for fertilization. This class is very
extensive. ranging from the smallest develop
ment Of pislil up to the fullest develop
ment accompanied with few siamens only.
S0me persons, It Is lrus, contend that good
cultivation and soil will sometimes change q
stamineio into "a rislillate variety. However
this may Be, we do soinltims GET q variety
which should be perfectly blossomej, and Il
turns out 70 be pisiillaie, and the reverse (;
but We may have received q different variety
than the one We sent for, and iancied we were
getting; Is in some instances three or ioor
different varieties afs sOld under the same
name.
Tho great advantage In having perfect
bloss0Ihsd varieties, Is that they viii bear
without any purely siaIninate varieties be-
ing near them. The Peabody, Hooker,
jenny Lind. Lebanon, Scouts Seeding,
Gene q. AID many others are perfect aow-
cred varieties. They are ofen called stam-
mate varieties because 10 one who has any
expcrienoe IN growing strawberries, know.
ingly plants he purely stAminate varieties,
because they ara worse than useless, as those
varieties which are only partially staminate,
and are therefore also bearers, serve 70

is both excellent and nutritious. Many pre-
fer them to beans for this use, ard they
should be more frequent dish upon every
table. Their market value has usually been
less than that Of beans, as indeed it should
be, when the cost of production is Consid-
cred.
The product of peas per acre is from
twenty to sixty bushels, and there have
been instances Of still larger crops. As to
varieties, the Canada Field Pea and the
Marrowfat are best known, but numerous
other sorts figure in seedsmen's CATALOGUES.
We will not here attempt to discuss their
qualities and value.

The pea crop for the last ten years has
received comparatively little attention, oW-

ORCHARD AND OTHER Grass SEEDs.-Tm.
Othy may be sown now. This is the proper
time for sowing orchard grass seed. We
cannot too emphatically commend this very
valuable grass. 1t yields abundant crops Of
good hay hardly inferior to Timothy, il cut
in proper time; starts very early in the
Spring; grows very late in the Fall max
ing large aftermath; endures drought well |;
bears close grazing, and, indeed, makes the
better pasturage by close and constant crop
ping. It is fit to cut for hay at the same
time with clover, and they should be sown
together. 1t is not worth the expense Of
purchasing the seed Of this grass to SOW in q
rotation, when it will stand but one season
after the crop Of small grain; but for lon-
ger rotation, which we think very desirable,
or for hay or standing pasture, We would not
fail to have it. Two bushels Of seed Is not
too much to insure good turf II not sown
thick enough, it has the fault Of growing in
unsightly punches; still II clover seed be
sown with it, and the condition Of the
ground and season be favorable, good
'set' may be expected from bushel Of good
sed.

PROTECT THE RooTs OF TREEs.-Most
trees in this latitude will receive benefit by
Winter protection. Nature provides this
in forests by depositing the leaves which
have formed their Summer clothing upon the
ground, beneath which most Of the vitality
Is stored in the roots. They form q loose
covering containing much air, thus securing
several degrees Of warmth to the surface
below. In addition to the benefit thus de-
rived, the decaying Of the leaves supplies a
top dressing Of the best kind Of nourishment
for the future growth of the tree. Sta
bic manure affords good protection, but is
not so well adapted for affording nOurish-
ment. A compost in which leaves form the
largest proportion, spread literally, at least
an inch deep over the whole surface under
the tree, to be forked in the following
Spring, will be highly beneficial. A tres
may live and grow without these precautions
but It's thrift will be greatly promoted BY
observing them.

To GEf LATE PEAs.-A writer in the
London Gardeners Chroniels says: As q
good late crop Of peas is desirable, and not
often secured, plan originally recommended
BY the horticultural Society Of London, ard
which has been proven to be good one,
may not be out OF place here, nor perhaps
altogether unacceptable to amateurs who
hgvguot heard Of It before: The ground is
aug out in the usual way, and tbs places 70
be occupied by the future rows Of peas are
well soaked' with water. The mould upon
each sidd is then collectod, 80 Is 10 form
seven or eight inches aboye. the previous
level Of the ground, and these ridges ara
wellsmtsred. The seeds arr sown in single
fows along the top Of the ridges The
plants grow vigorously, owing 70 the depth
6f soil and abundant moisture. If dry
weather at any time sets in, waleris supplied
profusely once week. In this way the
plants continue green and vigorous, resisting
milldew and yielding fruit tIl subdued BY
frosts.
