=, The Spanish race OF peaches Is longer
lived than the southern ChiNese, as might
be inferred from It's superior longevity;
the varieties of this race do not come
into as early bearing as those Of the

We have not had serious trouble about
diseases In orchard trees; we sometimes
suffer from the rottng of fruit from the
presence Of bitter rot. II Is worse ON
Southern Chinese varieties than on
others. We think We could spray It
out.
8. Pears.=~We have tested, during the
last twenty-five years, about eighty yarie-
ties IN orchard rows. OF these LeConte
OF Occidental varieties we have had the
best success with Andrews ana Burre
Bose-never case of blight.
81 1. Plums.-Of oriental varieties we
have had the highest promise from kel-
sey, Burbank, Botan, Long Nrulted and
Satsumn. But during the last two years
we discovered among them malady that
so threatened destruction that we burned
every Oriental plum tree In the orchard.
We propose to await Its passing before
resumiug experiments with Oriental
plums.
with European varieties we have ut
terly failed.
our success comes from the Indigenous
varieties. We have best success with
the following, given in order 9t rlpen-
ing Caddo chief, May 3. Jennie ucss,
Persian. Coletto, African, Indian Chief
Beatty.
3. Grapes.-Herbomont ana Lenolr nave
proven the most reliable and productive
OF all thoroughly tested varieties. The
Medora seems to be gaining IT'S way also.
