AFTERNOON SESSION.

The lecture of the afternoon was delivered
by Mr.. p VI. Augur, State Pomologist of
Connecticut, upon Small Fruits. Although
he spoke of currants, raspberries and black
berries in brief, the most of his lecture was
devoted TO the strawberry, of which he is an
extensive grower, and the originator of sew
eral choice varieties. He said that $500 per
acre for land and capital invested, manure,
etc, was about fair estimate. The varie-
ties recommended were Crescent Charles
Downing, Charpless, Belmont, Jersey Queen
and Jewell. He recommended planting i'll
hills three feet by two feet, rather than in
matted rows. The best fertilizers were COM
posted horse manure, ashes, ground bone,
and hen manure, reduced and made line.
Plants should only occupy the ground for
single season, as the highest profit comes
from this plan. In closing. Mr.. Augur put
in plea for the farmers fruit garden. A
few questions and answers followed the lee
ture of Mr. Augur, which closen the after
noon session.
