Two Subjects Talked About by the
HOrticulturists.

At the meeting Of the District horticultural
| Society Wednesday, when Mr.. saul exhibited
an apple ne had taken from peach tree, and
| II was found TO have been stuck on the tree by
hand, discussion as to the possibility Of grow
Ing apples on peach trees followed.
Mr.. j. z. c. Clark said that 1t was impossible
to graft an apple on a peach or peach on an
apple, but almonds, nectarines. peaches, and
other fruit with pits will amalgamate.
Mr.. Saul said that the pear or apple and
seeded fruit will do the same; that the wild
goose plum will fraternize better with other
trees, and plums will affect peaches; that the
early peaches are affected by the native plum,
and aprieots will affect other fruit
Mr.. Curtis said he had seen pears, apples and
ounces budded on the wild plum, and it was
well known that the original pear was knotty
fruit like the thorn apple. 1t was impossible
and, therefore apple would not grow on q
peach tree but might be raised" on peach
stem.
After a short discussion on orchids, Mr.. Clark
spoke of the caterpillar, saying that the devas-
tation at his place was calculated TO make one
sick and he believed that the damp season had
something to do with the pest.
Mr. saul said that he had once remarked that
insects did not attack perfectly healthy
effectively kept out Of perfectly clean
healthy cities, and he believed that dis
ease could be kept out of the vegetable
Kingdom as well. As to the cause for the cater
pliers, he suggested that the season had been
unusually wet. He noted that the street trees
were planted in holes and now these holes are
full of roots which find it difficult to get into the
adjacent soil. These holes fill with water and
the trees become diseased. 1t would seem that
this was the cause, for in the country where the
trees are healthy and there is plenty OF room
for the trees, but little, Ii any, damage has been
done by the caterpillar. 1t lis likely that II the
next season should be q dry one that the trees
will recuperate.
Mr.. Curtis said that the question was where
the caterpiilars come from.
MI. Saul replied by stating that some Of his
plants, If put in a humid atmosphere, would
show the insects.
Mr.. Clark remarked that the insects were
usually found on the under side of the leaf in
the shade, and not on the top.
Mr.. Saul spoke of the difficulty in conouerinp
the pest. 1t could be done, however, with Paris
green, but in this city, with its 10000 trees,
that remedy would be expensive.

How . Colered Rcpublican Received

The civil service law works surprises to the
appointing powers sometimes It is q lottery
or Q Pandorn's box, into which the appointing
power dips without knowing what he win bring
forth. In one case the Post Once department
wanted an additional clerk, and, q the law
directs, the civil service commission was called
upon to furnish four names of persons pro-
nounced competent by that tribunal. When
the certidcation reached the department It
wassubmitted 70 FirstA Assistant General Steven

1t over to his confidential clerk, with instruc.
ions to make selection. In due course of
time selection was made and the papers sent
forward. Within few days q colored man
presented himself to the chief clerk, and in re-
sponse TO the latter's "Well, sir what can do
for your" he announced his name his residence

responded with 3 cordial shake OF the hand and
II am very glad to see you. sir, and hope you

As the selection had been made in Gen Ste-

possible, took the new clerk In and presented
him to his chief For an a.. instant Gen. Steven;

notwithstanding the Trees.

10 the EhitOr OF IHE EVENING STAR:
Cannot the Commissioners OF the District be
prevailed upon to reconsider the plan Of white
washing the trunks ofour beautiful shade trees?
Surely there are more efficient remedies against
caterpillars than slaked lime, and there Is no
reason to believe that the little pests will return
every year. But the impression OF u row OF
whitewasned trunks is sad and melancholy
would be around our public parks. We cannot
afford TO make single mistake In treating
with the appearance OF our streets which thus
far have shown combination OF taste and skill
rarely found for similar occasions. Let us re-
tain the boxes and instead OF whitewashiug
the trunks apply bands of cotton, which have
been painted with some sticky substance. Such
rings. while not always efficient to check the
growth OF caterpillars, will prevent them from
ters, and such az will not die on the sticky
bands will be killed by the first frost. EB,

to say that, Notwithstanding the pleasure given

the absence OF our national music. Now. why

the present time? CITIZEN
