The Pros ection OF Fruit.


The Cincinnati Horticultural Society, at its
recent monthly meeting, discussed the csus-
es of apple fiilure, whether this fruit failed
from the injury of insect, or atmospheric
causes.
Mr.. Buchanan, whose crop had now fail
ed for four or five years. Thought both causes
were to be assigned; mildew settles on
the side of the tree exposed to the northeast
wind.
Mr. Pierson said in his locality he thought
much was attributable to the opening of the
country, exposing the orchards to the severe
winds.
Mr.. Hammitt thought the apple had been
sometimes destroyed by the cold, still the gen.
eral declension In the crop was attributable
to the insect. The pear and the ounce were
not injured by the latter and these had not
failed; to him this was pretty conclusive,
that the apple was not 50 much injured by
the cold, which would, in his estimation,
have affected the pear and ounce rs well as
the apple.
Mr.. Martin was of the opinion thai 1t was
attributable 10 clearing away the forests, ex-
posing the fruit more and more, each year, to
severe winds.
These ideas coincide with the latest con
illusions of practical fruit growers-that or
chards need and must have shelter, and thai
| the destruction of the timber lands has don't
vast inilry by the absence of this.

l.undrLcll Potatoes.

MEssRs EDlToRs:
Your Sussex correspondent seems to have
had poor success with his Buckeyes. 1t
may be stated as q general fact that any va
ricty Of potatoes bossoming In dry time,
unless a very favorable locality, will not pro-
duce full crop. Some kinds will suffer- more
than others, depending on the native hardi-
hess and visor of the variety. OF the many
kinds OF potatoes we have tried, have new
er found one SO easily effected by drouth as
the Goodrich. Their tendency at best, is to
produce too many small potatoes, and unless
under favorable circumstances, they exhibit
in 4 very alarming degree. But suppose
You get a crop. you have at best only Sec
ond quality potato that will be hard to sell,
row that the demand for seed has subsid-
cd. ! venture to say there will not be one
bushel OF Goodrich planted in this part of n
c. County next spring where there was
twenty planted last season. The buckeye
is a better potato, more vigorous grower,
and will make third more marketable po-
tatoes to the acre than the Goodrich. Hav-
ing planted them side by side for two years
succession. such is the result with me.
