New Hybrid Gamma.

]. A. Kemp Of Dickson county.
Tenn, writes to Rural New Yorker
that he has at last succeeded in
blooming a hybrid between the Or
chid-fiowering or Italian type of Can
mas, and a dwarf Gamma OF the ordi-
nary French or bedding type. The
Italian Cannas are supposed to be d.
rect hybrids of Gamma flaccida. our ma
tive southern species, while the
French varieties have descended from
Gamma Indica and other tropical forms.
A horticultural firm in Italy has pro-
duced and disseminated all the Cannas
Of the Orchid-fowering type now in
commerce, except the yellow variety.
Burbank, which was grown by Luther
Burbank Of California.
A number of fine varieties, varying
in color OF foliage and bloom, all pro-
ducing flowers of really enormous size,
are now becoming familiar in this
country, and countless have been the
efforts to hybridize these fine sorts
with the common bedding Cannas, in
order to secure greater substance Of
petal, and increased profusion Of
bloom; but up to this time. the hy-
birds of Flaccida have proved sterile,
both as pollen and seed parents. Mr..
Kemp says that his pet is a cross be-
tween Parthenope, an Italian variety
bearing very large reddish-salmon
flowers, and the Duke OF Marl-
borough, the darkest crimson
bedding variety, the latter be-
ing the seed parent. He says that the
resulting flowers are Of the most
gorgeous crimson coloring, but not OF
much better substance than the best
of the Italian type. He Is glad to
show that our southern climates are
favorable to work Of this character.
and to demonstrate the possibility Of
cross that has heretofore failed IN
many expert hands.

Albert Pogler: One Of the foremost
considerations in beef production is
that We. as stock raisers. should grow
our own stock. This regard as very
important matter. The large number
OF failures in the cattle business points
to the fact that we, as farmers. are
not sufficiently well acquainted with
the effects of acclimation and domesti-
cation Of cattle brought from any great
distance to the south or west. In other
words. we are unfamiliar with the
amount OF shrlnkage likely to occur
during the period OF adjustment to ell
matte and other conditions. Nor do
we understand the laws OF growth OF

The Illinois State Horticultural So
ciety will make an exhibit Of fruits
consisting mainly Of apples, at the
Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo
in 1901. The exposition will open
May and close November /, and it
is intended to have the fruit exhibit
continuous, from the opening to the,
close. The apples for this show must
come largely from this seasons crop,
and in order to have them properly
represent the fruit interests of the
state the specimens must be carefully
selected, wrapped, packed and placed
in cold storage until wanted for ex-
hibition. The horticultural Society
expects that fruit will be contributed
for this purpose by Individual grow
ers, horticultural societies and other
organizations. Proper credit will be
given the grower, the society, and To-
cality by entering the fruit in the
name Of the grower and society the
same as II he'were making the exhibit
in person, and by placards upon the
fruit when exhibited, giving the grow
er's name, locality and state.
All fruit growers are asked to aid
in the matter of securing the fruit
from this state. The society will do
what it can, but 1t depends upon you,
the grower, to make the exhibit from
Illinois a success. The exhibit will be
largely a commercial enc, that is. one
for the purpose Of charging our for
eign markets for apples, and this is a
subject Of great interest to Illinois
fruit growers. Illinois stands in the
front in the fruit exhibit at Paris this
year, but in order to retain her pres
tige, must continue her work In the
line Of exhibits of fruit and the op-
portunity presented at Buffalo should
not be neglected. Shall the state be
properly represented? This is for you
to decide. You must do what you can.
Will you contribute one, two, five or
more barrels Of carefully selected
fruit, and ship it to cold storage in
proper season? Write the secretary,
whose address you will find below,
how much you will contribute and
Wudl NdTltIiSsb anu NC WAL ScC thos
you have paper for wrapping the
fruit and shipping tags furnished you.
Are you interested enough in Illinois
horticulture to do this? The commits
sion will pay the freight. storage and
all other charges and place the fruit
on the tables, without any charge to
you. We want one hundred barrels
of apples from this state and the
amount will be small to each one, II
each does his part.
1t will save expense to the society II
you will pick, wrap and pack the fruit,
as per the directions which will be
furnished you later, but If you find
this will be impossible. write the sec
rotary, and some one will be sent to
assist in the work. Not less than one
peck Of any one variety should be fur
nished; one-half barrel or full bar
rel Of each variety preferred. 1t Is not
intended to collect a large number of
varieties, but those most generally
grown for market, therefore full
barrel of one variety will be acceptable
and is desired.-L. r. Bryant, Secre-
tary, Princeton, Illinois.

horticultural Observations.

In spite Of the large crop OF Amer
lean apples this year, it Is very likely
that prices will keep up well espe-
cially in the great shipping and mar
ket centers. England is now taking
several million barrels per year, and
the markets on the continent are be-
ing gradually opened. These foreign
markets demand the best we have and
are willing to pay for it. 1t creates
rapid movement of good fruit in our
big markets and prices for good fruit
is stimulated accordingly. The diff
ference in price between good and
poor fruit must become greater as the
foreign trade increases, for the poor
fruit finds no stimulus from the for,
eign trade.
Ramsdell's Sweet is an apple that
originated in the United States. 1t
has proved an excellent apple in ILL
nois, Iowa and Missouri, as well as N
eastern Kansas. Over a large part of
the South it has proved failure. 1t
has proved fairly good in the whole
strip of country between Maine and
Utah and south Of the Great Lakes,
its southern limits OF successful
growth lying as far south as Tennes-
see. The apple is of medium size,
oblong-conical in shape, red in color,
sweet in flavor and Of fair quality. 1t
is used for both dessert and kitchen.
We notice by recent market quota
tions on peaches that :he smaller
bas--ets sold at wholesale at from
to 20 cents per basket. The same
peaches retailed at the stands at from
Is to 80 cents per basket. The re-
taller made Z cents on the poor and
10 cents on the good peaches. But
what about the producer? The basket
that sold for 20 cents cost no more
to handle than the one that sold at
cents. The cost of the empty basket
was the same. the cost OF transport
was the same, and the labor connected
with the two would not differ. 1t is
doubtful II the Scent peaches gave
the producer a single cent OF profit;
while 1t is certain that the 20-cent
peaches did. The moral is plain-the
growers must stop marketing inferior
peaches. Thinning the fruit while
it is small should be universally
practiced. We believe, however. that
thinning is becoming quite common,
as there has been very large sup
ply of good peaches on the Chicago
market this year. The writer has no
remembrance of q season when 1t was
so easy to get large and properly
packed fruit. There seems also to
have been great improvement in the
packing of fruit Usually peaches in
the Chicago market have been merely
faced with good peaches, but this year
honesty in packing is apparent. The
statesmen seem to have awakened to
the demands of the hour and are will
ing to guarantee the contents of their
baskets as being uniform throughout
This improvement is largely due to the
constant agitation carried on by the
agricultural press and by the numer-
Gus horticultural societies and fruit
shippers unions. To all appearances
the trade in peaches this year has
been a large and profitable one. The
good work should go on till there are
no poor peaches sold on the market.
