': - I ' our After a lapse of several years, section of country has been blessed with an abun dant crop of fruit of nearly all kinds, the' rust year ; and I have endeavored by circa- ' tars addressed to the Chairman of each , . county and other memhers who are inter ested m fruit growing, to' get information and advice in regard to the different varie ties of fruit to plant, their cultivation and care, modes of planting, trimming and pruning, preservation from disease, de struction of injurious insects, Situation and soil for orchards, the keeping and ripening of fruits, dte, and have received a number of answers, but they have not been So gen erally responded to as 1 . , had' hoped from which, and other information, I make the following report: No. 1. Armrs—Best 12 varieties, ripen ing as follows: 3, Summer-3,Fa11-6, Win ter—with description and outline drawings of now sorts. Sunnier—Red Astrachan Bough. Full —Maiden Blush, Porter, ' White Debtor. Winter—Fallawater, Smith's Cider, Bald win, Smoke House, Ridge Pippin, Long Island Russctt. In addition to the above, I would present to the notice of the Society, some varieties which, having but a local reputation, and not generally known, have not been re commended SR much as those above named and desire their trial : Conells, Taney, Knoub's Easly,,Jelreries, Summer liagloo, Summerßambo, Carver, MeLellan,Prinee ly Irish Pippin and Jackson. Also, anew largo early apple called the Starr, from Woodbury, New Jersey, whichwas brought to the notice of the Fruit Committee of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and reported favorably. N 0.2. Onounnns.—liow prepared, plan ted and cultivated, and best situation. It is recommended to prepare the ground with deep fallow in corn and potatoes, well manurod the previous season; plow deep 1 and plant 30 feet apart, cultivate well with potatoes or other low growing crops, to keep the soil open and mellow; afterwards keep in good condition by manuring frequently, not allowing the ground to remain in grass more than ono or two years at i% time; for by lotting it remain in grass, the roots are encouraged to come near the surface, and then plowing deep and cutting them oft*, the trees are much more injured than by frequent shallow cultivation. Best situation—A good loan soil well drained, with protection from the cold winds, by natural or artificial shelter. Some recommend planting when the rains cause frequent surlace deposits ; neither cultiva tion nor manuring are needed under these circumstances. N 0.3. PEAR.S.—Best 12 varieties (Stand ards)'ripening as follows: 3, Sommer-6, Fall-3, Winter. Sunietcr—Doyennedelto, Oshand's Sum mer, Tyson. Pall—Bartlett, Siekel, Bell Lucretia, Howell, Urbanist, Sheldon. IVinter—Lawrence is the only one gener ally recommended, but some notice the Vicar of Wakefield and Winter Netis. To those desiring a larger collection I would recommend the Juliana. Brandy wine, Manningm Elizabeth, Boyer Bosmie Bourrodaym, Bourre Bose, Bud Min, J. Rut ter. _ . No. 4. Pi:Luis—Best (3 varieties (Dwarfs.) Mauning's Elizabeth, Bell Lucrative, Buffalo, Duteliess (I'Angoulenie, Vicar of Wakefield. No. 5. STANDARD TREES.—II ,, w planted, with the preparation of the soil and after culture. Santo as for other Orchards except closer planted, 20 to 25 feet apart. No. 6. DIVA.ItF TllittES.—.lltne planted tool cultivated, and are they profitable for gen eral culture. Ground prepared by plowing and sub soiling. The pear should be budded near the root of the quince so that the point of union can be covered with earth, without planting very deep, thus preventing the borer from entering the quince. IL cep the soil well cultivated. In cities and sheltered situations, with good clean culture, they have sometimes boon profitable, but have not generally proved successful. No. 7. PEACIIEN.—Bemt 10 varieties, with the preparation of Fite soil, how planted and pruned, and how to prevent the yellows and curl of the loaf. HAWS Early, Large Early York Susque hanna, Smock Troh Early, Old Itilixen Free, Stump the World, Crawford Early, Ward's Late Free, Crawford Late. Dry, warm soil and well cultivated, seems essential to success in peach grow ing. Plant from 15 to 20 feet apart, prune with low heads; no prevention or cure for the yellows, but to destroy all trees as soon as they appear diseased, thus preventing it from spreading to others, which it is thought it does, by the polen of the blos som and by contact with the roots. Curl of the leaf is thought to be produced by cold, early in the spring, and that shelter pre vents it. It is also stated that the yellows will nutaoon aired the trees on light, dry, sandy soil in any climate whore the mer cury does not MD below zero. No. S. QUINCES.—Which are the best and most profitable varieties, how cultivated end how to prevent attacks of the borer. Orange is recommended as the best ; the Augurs is a later variety and the fruit keeps better than the Orange,and sometimes suc ceeds well. Prevent the borers by wrapping tarred felt, such as is used for roofs of buildings round the tree 8 inches above the ground and 2 beneath, in the spring, remove in the fall to harden the wood. No. 9. PLUMS, APRICOTS ANI, NECTAR INES.—Which aro the best varieties, how cultivated and how to prevent the black knot and the attacks of the curculio. /Yam—Yellow Gage, Jefferson and Rich land. Apricots—Moorpark, Breda and. Peach. Nectarines—Not much cultivated on ac count of the trees being generally destroyed by the curculio. The Yellow Gage in the list above is a distinct fruit from the old variety of that name; it is cultivated in Lancaster county, and described as the earliest and most de sirable of all their plums. Black Knots—Begin in time and cult them off and burn them, and they can be sub dued. No known preventive from the Our- Quito except jarring, shaking down on sheets or cloths and destroying them and being careful to prevent them from propa gating from the fallen fruit which has been stung. No. M. CIIERMES.—WhieII are the best varieties for table use and 3 for cooking, and how to prevent the splitting of the bark and black knots and the attacks of 'birds and insects. Best Six—Black Tartarian,. Gov. Wood, Yellow Spanish, Purple (Ilium, Bleeding Heart, May .Duke. Three for ()Joking—Early Richmond, English Morella, Late Kentish. For cracking of the bark it is rocom 'mended, as a preventative, to slit it ill the sixth month, but the killing of the bark on the southwest side is generally \ caused by the sun shining on the bark in Winter when the tree is frozen and suddenly thawing it, which can be prevented by heading low or otherwise protecting it. To prevent the attack of birds provide plenty of fruit for the birds and you.qolves, 'and. it. is proposed to plant Mulberries of early varieties of Mazzards for this purpose. No. 11. ..N.yrtvE tin:kris...l.—Best varieties for Gable use, best varieties for wine, with description of new sorts, including the wood, foliage and fruit. Best Variety for Mble USG—Hartford Prolific, Concord, Clinton, Martha. For Wine—Clinton, Ives. No description of newer varieties have been received, but some of Rodgers' Seed ling aro reported favorably of in some sec tions, No. 5, 10, 82 and 42. No. 12. Som.—How prepared, vines planted and pruned, with after culture, best form of trellis and host mode of keeping grapes. A good dry alluvial soil is considered best. Clay soils do not do as well as those of a looser nature prepared by plowing and subsoiling. Give plenty of room on the trellis, cut out the old and weak wood and let the strong canes run and bear. A self sustaining, self-bracing trellis is saidto an swer a good purpose,: formed of chestnut :poles 11 feet long, planted 8 feet apart, two rows leaning towards each other and fitting together at the top like rafters to a build /-ing, and nailed to a strong board, the end posts braced to the next one, then wires stretched from end to end like the lath'on a house. This trellis cannot fall down or blow over, the vines run up its inclined sides and fall over the other aide at the top which has a tendency to check their growth. No advice in regard to the keeping of Grapes, except that they must be well Frown before you undertake to pi them by for keeping. No. 14. .IfonmoN GuArEs.—Best 6 varl- oties, ripening, early, medium and late, with the preparation of borders; pruning and keeping the fruit.. Black Hamburg, Bowood Muscat and Black Ilarbarose, aro recommended. Bor ders completely undordrawn and com posed of 1-3 Hand and 2-3 snrfaco soil and sods. Cut out old stunted wood, and fruit the strong canes. No. 15.

INQUIRY ABOUT TILE PIWIT CROP OP 1869. The fruit crop of the past year was the most abundant that we have had for a num ber of years, though some varieties ofpear, particularly the Bartlett did not bear as well as it usually does, as it generally bloomed profusely. It is a subjeCt of inquiry whether under such circumstances the vi tality of the tree is so-drawn upon and the roots owing to the coldness of the ground not properly performing their functions that the blossoms do not set their fruit; the same thing occurs frequently with the Duchess d'Angoulemepear which blossoms often profusely on the new wood, to remedy which the blossom buds will have to be taken oil, or the tree pruned, so as to lessen the number of buds to expand. The extreme beat of the latter part of the summer caused the fruit to ripen up before its proper season, consequently it did not keep well. As the value of a general report will de pend very much on the materials from which it is made, which aro the reports front the various counties and from indi viduals, while I cordially thank those mem bers who have furnished. reportal doubt the propriety of making up and recording lists of fruits for cultivation, extending to ern ! brace the whole of this 'section of the State, without more information on this subjec than has been given. And I would recommend to fruit grow ers, to test new fruits as they are brought to their notice, in order to get the best of the different kinds; but not to recommend any variety until they have given it a fair trial. Respectfully submitted, SAMUEL W. NOBLE. Chairman of General Fruit Committee. Jenkentown, 1 Mo., 18th, 1870. After the transaction of Some business of minor importance, an interesting discus sion arose respecting the matter contained in the above reportthe topics being taken up and debated seriatim. In the course of the debate the Primate, Townsend and Early Harvest varieties of the Apple were highly recommended by different members Mr cultivation. Mr. C. Miller stated the Early Harvest had not done well In Lan caster county, that the None Such was a better variety.. After much debate as to the propriety of endorsing the suggestions and conclusions embodied in the above general report of the Committee, it was fi lially adopted. With regard to Summer Pears, the Ott variety was highlyspoken of, and the Rutter was recommended as a Fall variety. On motion, in order to terminate a dis cussion that else might prove interminable, a Committee of Five were appointed by the I 'hair to report business for the Meeting.— Mr. A. Hoopes sugticsted that a committee lie appointed to make a list of all the fruit on exhibition, to be handed to the Secretary for embodiment In the annual Report of the Society. On motion a committee was appointed consisting of live members—with A. Hoopes (clutirnum). A. committee was, also, appointed to examine all fruits sent to the Association for a name; S. W. Noble was appointed chairman of the committee. The business session of the afternoon meeting having been disposed of the sub ject of dwarf pear trees was debated. Some of the members thought that the cultivation of dwarf pear trees, as dwarf trees, was a failure --as in a short time they get large roots and become standard pears. Mr. Parry suggested that on account of the little room they occupied it was very desirable to have them in some localities. Mr. Sather wait, of Delaware county, stated that on his place trees planted for dwarfs soon became as largo as those which were planted as standards. Other members stated, on the contrary, that by attention and proper pruning the dwarf trees could be kept dwarfed. The report of the committee appointed to prepare a programme of the topics to be considered by the association, having been presented to the President by its Chairman, further general discussion was dispensed with. Thu report, on motion, was accepted and taken up item by item for discussion. The first item was read by the President --it was as follows: " The cause of the failure of the Grape in Eastern Pennsylvania?" A long debate ensued, in which It was conclusively shown that in some localities in Eastern Pennsylvania the Grape did sue coed; and was grown with profit, nut that such localities were peculiarly situated, and were generally located on the sides of the eastern slopes of the Alleghenies in shelter ed positions with a sandy or porous soil. The following resolution, presented by Mr. Mitchell, was finally adopted by a vote of 12 yeas to 8 nays, as expressive of the opin ion of the association : Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meeting that the failure of this native grape in Eastern Pennsylvania is due to atmos pheric influences producing mildew and other diseases. On motion Mr. Wm. L. Peiper and Mr. Allen Guthrie, both of Lancaster, were elected members of the Association. The second item for consideratten was : Question—The best known mode of eradi cating the cureulio Dr. Suesserot suggested that the only feasible method of destroying curculio was to kill it before it emerged from the larva state; J. Stauffer agreed with Dr. S. Mr. Josiah I loupes stated that a very successful way to destroy these troublesome insects was to jar the trees; fruit growers in south ern Illinois employed this ruethodcwith success. Mr.Satherwait, of Delaware coun ty, thought that jarring the trees would. not prove an entire remedy. • Rethongkt that by protecting . andlnereashigthe num ber of birds—they would destroy these in sect pests. Mr: S. knew thatthoy (the cur culio) were diminishing'in numbers in .his section—probably they would have their day and ultimately disappear. A member stated that he had by jarring the fruit trees and catching the insects • m sheets, been successful, Inn measure, freeing trees of them, and thereby growing fruit. Pending the discussion—the meeting ad journed until 7 o'clock, P. M. Lrrah,g ,YeAsion.—Society met at 7 o'clock P. M. President Hoopes read his annual. address, which was of an able, instructive and en tertaining character, and treated of topics of great interest, not only to fruit-growers, but also to those not engaged irt. , thu.culti vation of fruit. At the conclusion of the address a spirit ed discussion was had with reference to the best methods of eradicating mildew (or fungus) from fruit trees. The chairman, Mr. Hoopes, said that mildew on the Bose could be removed by applying manure water and tobacco in a llqualstate. Several of the members spoke highly ,of the effi cacy of soft soap us a wash for removing mildew ; the use of liquid manure and air slackened lime was, also, recommended— the lime to be used when the dew is on the loaves. The item which is the best known mode of preventing black knots on cherry and plum trees t" was next debated. Mr. Meehan recommended the persistent cutting out of the black'knot on fruitlrees, in its early stage, and, from experiments, believed that it can be totally eradicated.— Mr. Harrison regarded fungus' as an indication but not as the cause of the disease of black knot. A member suggested that in some experiments made with weak carbolic acid he had been successful in removing the blast knot. The 4th question—" The best method of a ening winter fruit t" was next (llamas-, H. M. Engle, of Marietta, stated that by keeping apples in the coolest possible place (without permitting them to freeze) t and, haying them simply packed In barrels he had succeeded iu keeping and ripening fruit well. Mr. E. favored early picking. Mr. fitauffer, of Ohambershurg, exhibit )I"4*TIOAW ed tine Ctitaly" .t ,..... which - he said he, ke .t by tiMpV ;. boxes, withPaPer,..

When we wish to form a thickly branch ed, bushy plant, such as we desire in a. hedge, the and 13...mm1i-shed by frequent ly pruning or cutting back thegrowing shoots as they project beyond the' ideal limit, thus encouraging lateral twigs, or aide branches, slender, but numerous, as the object of a close hedge requires; but when thedovelopment of umerous lengthy shoots is the aim, as in willows ,for.haaket making and similar manufacturing pur poses, pruning is perfumed during winter only, and. the' more decided or!Severe the operation, the' stronger and better the re sulting growths.. Similar treatment to the above, will pro duce similar results when applied to fruit trees. I will take the pear as an example; and certainly no variety of fruit tree has been so tortured under the, sanction of both science and ignorance this has been ; when the tree is submitted to a regular course of winter pruning, together with a regular pinching of young growths during summer, a thttket of slender growths is produced, and, if it is followed up with skillful persistence, may produce that great desideratum—a beantiel pyramidal shaped tree, On the other hand; when summer prun ing in its every shape is abjured, and thorough or severe winter cutting the sys tematic rule, a profusion of u pright growths, of more or less luxuriance, aro yearly pro duced, and yearly removed, just as prac tised in the culture of willows, excepting that the pear growths are useless, and the willows are valuable. All who aro familiar with pear culture will recognize these widely different modes of treatment, and the distinct forms so produced ; also that they both agree in one important particular, that is, they produce -hilt very.little fruit. Having 'practised both of these systems to my entire satisfaction, it occurred to me some twelve years ago, to let the trees alone. I had pruned, pinched and disbud ded, until my trees were acknowledged to be as finely formed as any in the country, and they certainly were as perfectly out lined as the most beautiful Norway firs-- I felt the risk of abandoning an orthodox custom, audof being classed among negli gent cultivators, but my eyes were opened. I saw that these orthodox managed trees were naked of fruit, and resolved, that however much it might shorten-in my reputation, I would not for the future shorten-in my fruit trees. To illustrate more particularly the plan now pursued, I may state that in the spring of 18e3, I planted a collection of sixty va rieties of pears. These were set in dupli cate, one-half being on quince roots, the other on pear stocks. These have received the same general treatment throughout.— When planted they were pruned down very closely, many of them cut so as to resemble a smooth walking cane, from two to three feet in length. In the Fail of that year, they were cut back, in order to establish a prop or spread of branches, but with the excep tion of taking a few eions from some of the varieties, the branches have not been shor tened since; some few tall branches lucre been removed entirely where they have be come crowded, and a young shout encour aged at the point of cutting, which ensures the healthy healing over of the cut, and is essential in the mode of management, to take the place of future removals. During the se,end and third years growth young shouts of these, your and rive feet in length were nut uncommon, and it required some firmness to repress the inclination to prune, but the - non-priming resolution had not been Lightly formed and was , not to be lightly abandoned; and overt the lon g est of these shoots became thickly studded with fruiting spurs, and in due time furnished with blossoms, and subsequently with fruit. To show the 'Society what I mean by a thickly studded system of fruit buds, and the rapidity with which they form when allowed to grow as nature designs, I have a tow branches of various ages, which I submit for inspection. After the essay was read an animated discussion took place on the subject of Pruning. Mr. H. M. Engle, of Marietta, remarked that it seems to be the opinion that dwarf pears form roots and will soon grow into standards. Mr. Mitchel agreed in this. Mr. Harrison, of Philadelphia, said cour age was wanted. Trees were often crowd ed ; planted too thickly. The trees in such cases must he thinned; the knife must be used unsparingly. Most of pear trees were planted too thickly—they should be planted from 18 to 20 feet apart. Let I of the trees be sacrificed in order that the others may flourish. , Mr. Thus. Meehan said he agreed that pear trees were generally planted too thick ly together; but nevertheless they should not be too widely planks]. The trees need protection; it was well to plant trees of smaller growth betw'ee'n them, Pruning also invariably hurts a tree. The result will be noticed in 20 or 22 years ; the tree is weakened. The man who prunes closely his tree on a street, for instance, will not have so flourishing a tree as his neighbor who lots nature have her sway. The ten dency' of pruning is to weaken the vitality of trees; it renders them liable to disease. Many of the diseases pear trees now labor under is caused by too much printing; we should ,propagate_also from healthy trees. Mr. Engle confirmed. Mr. Meehan's theory that too niucli printing was not to bo recommended. Mr filler said that he pruned but little but that he had dwarf pear trees 21 years old that bear well. Mr. IL cultivated his ground well. Mr. Harrison, of Philadelphia, said that in his experience the only blight : he had among his trees was caused by- inning too closely. A. groat deal of blightiettaused by too much pruning. Mr. Meehan said that weakened vitality did not always cause disease—but by prop agating from trees of weak vitality a bad stock WaS obtained. Pruning the roots had the same effect. Mr. M. thought that dwarf trees 20 years old could be transplanted without much danger. Dc.Suesseroth offered the following res. oldtidn relating the illegal , pruning: Resolved, That we, the members of the Penn'a Fruit Growers' Association, do hereby agree:it° use our , best endeavors to secure the passage of an net by our State Legislature, now In session fin the better protection of shrubbery, fruit and shade trees; whereby the frequent acts of van dalism perpetrated by the employees of Telegraph Companies, ,and others, shall be constituted a misdemeanor and provision made for their merited punishment. Dr. S. said [het in his section of the State telegraph employees hada habit of hacking and cutting trees along their line of wires. Prof. Haigcs favored the passage of the resolution—he noticed that in the Southern part of his (York) county many trees were killed in this way. Mr., Reed, also, spoke iu favor of the resolution; he noticed in some instances whole sides of trees were cut off to allow the passage of the wire. Mr. Bomberger, Harrisburg, favored the resolution, and ippendocl it by.substituting the) word ', So ctety " for 4 On motion it wits resolved that the next annual meeting of the Society be held at Chtunbershurg.Franklin comity. The Society then went into an election for the enstung, year, which resulted asfol lows : President—Josiah Hoopes, West Ches ter; Vice PreSidents—S. Noble, Jenkins town, D. W. Gross, Harrisburg; Dr. Sues serott, Chambersburg; Recording Secre tary—Alexander Harris, Lancaster; Cor responding Secretany-L-Thcimita :Meehan, Germantown ; Treasurer—Robt. Otto, West Chester. The following item was next discussed : " What varieties • of peaches are most healthy, and have the most vigorous growth and best. permanent Constitution?' Mr. Hervey, , suggested -that those varie ties having the most deeply sedated leaves i were the bp e t.' Mr. Parry, of N. .7., said In his State the Mountain Rose wits an, excellent variety; that is iiiir*Veichlust Wining before the contmunity.

Harvey, of Chester,oounty, he said some say that' the seed bf strawberriea are influenced by the pollen when Said straw berries are planted aide by side,....BighaPs when an orchard of early and latf ,a.P,Ples are planted near, together the pollen of the apple blossoms affect each other. Lam per suaded that different varieties of potatoes planted near together affect each other ; in spite of what botanists say I know.tbis t9' be the fact. Mr. Purple, of Columbia, had noted . that vines affected each other; the pollen of the squash will affect the pumpkin ; the same' is the case with the potato. , ~ Mr. Merceron had not noted this peculi arity in potatoes. Air. Harrison moved that "cross-impreg nation" be substituted for the word ,• hy bornization" in the item under discussion. Concurred in. Prof. Heiges thought that the abnormal' excrescences found onyines and treesovere often mistaken for theetfects of "cross by bern ization." Messrs. Harvey, Meehan, and other members, expressed the belief that lUD real " cross impreptation7 can take place. Mx. Parry, of N. J., said that he knew that vines, (such as the citron and melon). would be affected by the pollen of each other; he narrated an amusing incident where the pollen had an influence upon the pulp of the seed. Prof. lielges, of York county, believed h that the pollen had an int:Worm, especially in the Creveling Grape, which not having much pollen of its own, required (earn's tion from the pollen of other varieties.. Mr. Mitchel offered the following resolu tion which, after some debate, was adopted: Resolved, That we heartily approve of the suggestion made by our President, in his annual address, that the Legislature be petitioned to make an appropriation to, and aid in carrying out the object ottilis Soci ety, which represents a very important in terest, and one which well deserves the fostering care of the State, and that a com mittee be appointed to carry out the. object of this resolution. _ . Thursday Afternoon.—The Society, pur suant to motion made at adjournment, met RC 9 o'clock. On motion a Committee, consisting of Messrs. Noble, Merceron and Harvey, was appointed to select and make up a box of the rarer and newer verities of fruits; on exhibition, to forward to Charles Downing, of Newburg, N. Y. The President, Mr. Hoopes, remarked that this was but due to Mr. Downing in reward for the .eminent services he had rendered fruit growers by naming rare new fruits; besides Mr._ Downing had requested that all fruit grow ers' societies should forward rare, new fruits to him in order that he might exam ine them and if necessary name them. The President stated he had the pleasure of introducing Mr. Thomas Meehan of Germantown, the Secretary of the Society to those present. Mr. Meehan stated thathe had not pre pared any written address, but would make some extemporaneous remarks on " Fruit Cultivation in general." The speaker re marked that great improvement could bo made in fruit cultivation. That the people of Lancaster county, although well advanc ed in fruit growing and distinguished for the quantity and quality of fruit grown by them, could still find much room for im provement. Mr. Meehan spoke of the nature eta fruit tree and the different functions of its parts—its loaves and roots. With regard to the roots of a tree they should be kept as near the surface as possible without actually being in the light—the leaves of a tree must have light, but such was not the case with the roots. Water is prejudicial to the roots of a tree ; so also is a hot soil; for a hot soil produces evaporation and deprives the roots of the water essential to their growth and life. Coolness and moisture is very essential to grow fruit trees well; it is therefore a question whether 'a system of mulching is not better for fruit trees ; and that it should be practiced instead of that system of cultivation which leavesthe roots of trees exposed to the ainfavorable influ ence of heat, Re. With regard to the influence of soil and climate we find that in our woods that the wild grape clambers over the trees and bears luxuriantly. The vine also is, in the woods, subjected to those conditions most favorable to promote its growth, and in Cultivating the grape we should study Na ture and imitate her. In answer to the query "what influence the stock has on the graft?" Mr. Meehan said It had no more influ ence than the vitality of the stock might have—but the stock made no difference in the quality of the fruit of the graft. Mr. Meehan was satisfied that the stock could not change tho character of the fruit on the graft. Mr. Meehan remarked that the fibres of trees die annually and that a fibre that lives over a year becomes a root. Mr. Purple, of Columbia, believed that Mr. Meehan was correct in his theory; but that he (Mr. P.) thought the fibres of ever green trees often lived over a year, and did not die until 3 or 4 years elapsed. Mr. Meehan remarked that although the bulb of a plant be planted in soil that freezes soon after the root was planted, nevertheless the root would thaw the ad- jacent soil and grow—the roots would thaw their way through the frozen earth. How ever cold it may be, the trunk and branches of a tree are not frozen, the Internal heat of the tree prevents that; if the cells contain ing the sap of a tree were to freeze, the tree would burst and death must ensue. Mr. Satterthwait, of Montgomery county, remarked that surely the small twigs or branches of a tree freeze. Many plants such as the cabbage may be frozen, but they will afterwards thaw out and live. Mr. Meehan said that in all large trees often a large portion of them were dead, but the dead portion being filled with moisture, it freezes and bursts the tree— that is the dead portion of the tree. A cab bage is weakened by freezing; its vitality is permanently affected. Mr. Purple maintained that winter wheat freezes but afterwards grows. A cherry tree, which has a tight bark, freezes and bursts the bark, and then grows more rap- : - idly. Mr. I'. thought that frostwas essen tial to the growth of trees. Mr. Satterthwait insisted that the freezing and thawing of some plant-s, and of the branches and twigs of trees would not kill them. Mr. J. Stauffer of this city instanced a plant that possessed latent heat; he thought that the freezing of trees did not necessarily kill them. Mr. Wm. Saunders, of Washington, D. C., said he was of the opinion that wood did contain latent heat, else why did It make heat when burned? Mr. J. Stauffer explained the chemical process by which the action of fire pro duced heat. Mr. Saunders remarked that recent in vestigations show that if animals (cold blooded ones) are frozen solid they will die —the old theory that such animals could be frozen and.live having been exploded. A member remarked that trees in his opinion if frozen solid must die—else why do the tops of trees die in hard winters. It depends very much on the vitality of the tree or plant whether it dies or not. Prof. Heiges, of York county, remarked that ico will impart heat to a l.w " artificial" tem perature of 219 degrees below zero; and will raise it at leAst 180 degrees. Heat is radiated from the roots of trees as is shown by the microscope; and icicles attached to the limbs of trees, even when the atmos phere is below the freezing point, become melted and fall off indicating that there is heat at the surface of the bark of the limb. On motion a vote of thanks was extended by the Society to Mr. lierstine, of Phila delphia, for his efforts in cultivating and originating the new varieties of raspberries which he had on exhibition. The raspber ries in question were highly spoken of by several of the fruit growers present as uniting the splendid qualities of the Allen raspberry with the hardier qualities of tho Philadelphia raspberry. The item "Growing Native Fruits under glass" was next taken up. Mr. Saunders, of Washington, D. C., said he had met with great success in growing grapes under glass ; the glass protecting the vines from mildew. The sides of the shed being open ed—the roof being of glass. It is a green house without sides: Mr. fault er , of Lancaster, thought it must prove an ex cellent method of growing grapes, Mr. Saunders said he lad great success in growing grapes under glass, and had prac ticed growing them in this way with the best results. Mr. Harrison. of Germantown, thought that grapes grown in this way had an in ferior flavor. Mr. Saunders asserted that, if properly ventilated and cultivated, g, rapes, nectarines and peaches, grown under glass, 'would have a fine flavor—muche depended on the management.
