Mr.. A. G. white had pia nted in thu
fall at three different times, once with
good success and twlce with almost 4 to

having purchased of different parties;

tree peddler: rather thought they were
damaged before they came to his hands;
was in favor OF patronizing home nurser-
les. All things considered, favored spring
planting.
Mr.. CriIey favored fall planting on ac-
count Of the frequent drouths during the
summer; had always succeeded Well:
mentioned some instances Of fall planting
where persons had not lost one tree in
hundred; said he always recommended
| it in Ohio, and here. also, and went on to
| state that wounds made by digging up
would heal over during winter and that
fbroas roots wouid start from the roots,
aud that in consequence he gained so
much time. He gave some other reasons,
with = good deal OF theory, in regard to
fall planting, but thought il be was rea.

tree was partially destroyed, without any |
ch lance to recuperate before being expos |

Mr.. Jas. NeWlon's experience was
somewhat limit ed, but had planted fifty
IN the fall and all grew but one; thought
the chances about equal If the treatment
given was the same, thought best to plant
peach and cherry trees In the sgripg.
Ali favored planting good trees froIp
the most convenient nursery, either in
the fall or spring. Give proper care and
all might have plenty of good fruit.
There was some discussion among the
members As to the meeting Of the State
Horticultural Society, which is to be
held at EmpoTia during the month of
December, and wished that friends Of
would preserve specimens
of fruit and vegetables for the meeting,
We anticipate 3 good time. Letters were
read by the president from parties abroad
stating that they would be here. Let us
give them hearty welcome. and give
the matter our attention and learn from
those who have had q more extensive ex-
periepce than some of us, and he profited
thereby.
Mr.. searey displayed ine specimens OF :
cereals and fruit. His wild /
crab-appIes were very fragrant.
The subject for consideration at the
next meeting will be, "The best way of
the apple and peach tree
borer.''
