TIC mississippi It is also native of China
and Persia, and carried thence to England 10
1850. He believed that shallow cultIra. and
the cutting of Of the top root of the young
trees, had had q bad effect on this valuable
ffnit, he would therefore recommend that
that holes OF three feet deep and i've In diam..
cter each way be made and filed with com.
post and rich soil, and the tree Jet some three
inches deeper than It. stood In the nursery.
but were it not for the borer he would plant
only as deep as 1t stood in the nursery. This
ddeep hole 1,ta filed with rich waste, is
growth Of the top roots. '5 which the he
claims as highly important In culttyating he
PloWs deeply, breaking the surface roots so
as to make the tree depend on the deem tan
roofs, that feed below the usunl effects Of tbe
drouth. barnyard manure is the best Of all
manure, and can beused freely.

The system Of deep holes, recommended BIZ
DR.: Hull, was assailed by several members AZ
not adapted to clay soils, or In nny other
than soils naturally dry like the bluffs along
the river as the location Of the Doctor. ..~
Mr. Coleman, editor Of tho paAey Farmer,
made an attempt to add sound cling peaches
to the list, but the taste Of members evident-
Il did not run to cling, After various st.
ternpts to strike ont and add to the doctor'e
1ist, it was adopted without change. :.
aale's Early Was recommended for trial.
1t is said that this is the earliest peach OF the
season, but this point was not well proved.

and found it some seven days in advance Of
the se1rate EARLY York, and nearly ten DAYS
ahead Of Troths Early, which is the earliest
peach: sent, to the Chicago market in any
sparring vas had over the value Of the Sesrate
Early York as market peach. Dr.. Hui said
its only value was it's eatlfness, and that
some OF the Serrato (sour-edged) varieties
were Of much value. The growers from the
South part OF the stata found this variety Of
no value, and depended mainly on Trofh'e
Early for an carly market peach, md they had
great confidence that Hale's Early Would
prove valuable addition to the list Of, curly
peaches.
It may be interesting to state the time Of
rtpening q peaches, as set forth BY growers
both at Alton and Golden.

By this, planters and others can see what va
rietics to select tor succession Of this deli

The rule requiring twelve votes to place
nny new fruit on the list, was changed to six,

PLANTING AND CULTURE.
The discussion under this head took d
wide Eapge, but the conclusion arrived at
was that trees should be planted no deeper
than they stood in the nursery, and that the
ground should be deeply rlowed, not less
than foot deep; that dug holes should not
be employed unless the soil was thoroughly
undetermined, either naturally or artlncially.
One man would plant ono or two feet deeper
than they grew in the nursery, but he was
soon lauglcd down as quack.
Several members came III on the evening
trims, among them q large delegation from
The session now promises to be one Of un-
usual interest.
The citizens leaye out the latch string, and
all the members, numbering not less than
one hundred, have been assigned places in
private families. RURAL
