OTTAWA AND VICINITY AS A FRUIT REGION.
The preoccuped state Of our columns last week
prevented us from publishing a notice We had
prepared of the recent lecture of Dr. Hull, the
state horticulturst, delivered in the Court House
at Ottawa. The Doctor had come here on
friendly visit to j. E. Porter, Esq, by whom he
was prevailed upon to give US lecture on the
culture Of fruit in this vicinity. While here,
Mr.. Porter constructed under the Doctors super.
by which he has been SO successful for several
years past in driving the "litte Turk from his
plum and peach trees.
The lecture was listened to with deep interest
by quite number of our fruit grows, and with
evident profit. The doctor gave them many new
ideas on the subject of the care and management
of fruit For instance in regard to root prun
ing his remarks on the rationale of the practice,
and when and how it should be performed were
new to his hearers, and of great practical i'm.
portance. The doctor having, during the day
previous to his lecture, visited several of the
graperies on the north bluff and at other locali.
ties about the city, gave it as his opinion that
there are few localities in the country better
adapted to grape raising than this immediate
locality, if properly pruned and taken care Of.
He insisted strongly on the advantage of careful
covering in winter. He had stock and vine on
the stand and gave some clear and practical ideas
on the subject of pruRing.
The lecture had the effect of Inspiring so much
confidence in the adsptability of our soil and
climate, particularly to the grape and plum, that
DR.. Paul anl Mr.. Ho.sack have already ordered
some 10000 grape roots for spring planting, and
others will doubtless follow their example. Not
only in grapes but in plans are we to have deci.
ded revival here, the deetor having demonstra.
ted that, by the use of the curculio catcher, the
latter fruit eau be raised in this vicinity in the
utmost abundsoce and at IA immense profit.
