CULTURE OF FRUIT TREES.

In the recent admirable address of Presi-
dent Wilder at Richmond, Virginia, before
the American Pathological Society, we per-
ceive that he fully sustains, rs the result of
continued experience, the importance of
good clean culture, us opposed to the old
practice of allowing young orchards to grow
to grass. He remarks. at seems scarcely
necessary in this presence to say that thor
ough preparation and enrichment of such
soils rs are not already rich, is essential. Or
binary farm culture will not produce the
highest class of fruits; they must have gar
den culture, and with this they never fail.
After this thorough preparation, the cleaner
the culture the better, ut least in the older
States, where the soils nave been depleted
by cropping" This is the practice which we
have repeatedly urged, especially for young
orchards, for more than thirty years.; yet
even now, many fine newly set young or
chards are injured or ruined by being set out
and allowed to stand in grass. There are Il
few instances at the east, and frequent ones
ut the west, where the soils are so rich natu-
rally that after a few years growth, it is well
to check the luXuriance by seeding to grass

mitted; but if the growth is feeble, keep the

VINE.

For a fine climber, this vine with its thick,
glossy green leaves, rapid growth, and sweet
scented flowers that appear late in the fall,
cannot be excelled. Trellises, lattice work
and windows are quickly covered by it. A
single root will completely cover q window
in n season. There is no special beauty
about the flowers, which are borne in long ra-
GENES; but their fragrance makes upthe lack.
The roots are tuberous, and in the fall when
the frost has killed the vine, they should be
taken up and put away in n dry place beyond
freezing. In March put them in pots or box
es and set in a warm south window, and the
vine will lave II good start by the time the
ground is warm and weather settled out of
doors. They are also fine for hanging bask-
cts in winter, or trained up the side of the
window and over it, making n green arch.
