An Association of Peach Growers wa
organized at Odessa, last winter, to pro-
tect their interest in the matter of trans
portation of fruit, the security of baskets,
boxes, &c. We are not apprised whether
their regulations were put into practice or
not, or whether the end aimed at has been
attained. Would it not be well to form a
Horticultural Society in each county
with quarterly or monthly meetings; to
gather together statistics of fruit culture
in the State, and to make publication of
the same. Fruit growers would then
know what progress was being made in
the production the relative cost and profit
of the crop; mode of culture; fertilizer
used; the implements best adapted for
use; with many other things interesting
to those engaged in the same pursuits

TO THE PILRIIC-

INTERESTED parties having circulated reports
l. in New Castle and adjoining counties, depre-
ciating the character of Rhodes Super Phosphate
as Fertilizer lin consequence of the recent rcduc-
ton in price of same,) we beg leave to lay before
our patrons and the public generally, the follow
ing letter from Messrs. Yarnall Trimble Gener-
al Agents for this Standard Manure, in Philadel-
phia:
PHILADELPHIA, Aug II, 1868,
Mr.. e. T. Ecaas, Middletown. Del.
Dedr Sir Your favor of date is lust
to hand. We note, with surprise, that there pre-
walls with you rumor that Messrs Potts & Klett
have sold cut to other parties. This is afalsehood
made out of the "whole CLOTH" Messrs. Potts l.
Klett have not sold OUT neither DO they intend
to do SO. On the contrary, they have so increas-
ed their facilities for making the Rhodes Super
Phosphate, that they enabled to make it at less
cost than any other manufacturers, and in conse-
qucnce, have been able to reduce the price and
still furnish an article fully equal to their former
High Standard, and at the same time, in cond-
ton for drilling superior to any article of the kind
in the market.
We cannot conceive how the report has been
circulated in your neghborhood, or who the all
thors of it are. We suppose, however, it was
originated by some interested party, who, perhaps
is not able to produce so good an article even at
higher price. Please contradict the report fatty
and at all times, and oblige
Yours, truly,
YARNALL b TRIMBLE,
General Agents for Rhodes Manure.
