Potash IN Fruit Culture.

The effect Of potash is to perfec. the
pollen and make a perfectly pollenized
fruit that will resist cold and frosty
weather far better than one poorly poll
lenized. At least this has been con-
frmed in the experience Of Eli Minch,
who says: My present peach crop
shows the value Of potash in making a
more perfectly set fruit. being the most
promising in my section. where the
peach this year Is almost a failure from
