CocirsANE, of the Home Nursery, Ilavanna, lason County, Illinois, offers great inducements to the public in bis advertisement in to-day's pa lmer.' His stock of ornamental ehrub- bcry, vines,' bulbs, plants, seeds, etc, is verr.iarge, and he says, 'If articles , ui cui by me are not as represented, fend them back at my. crpemc, and I your money thail be refunded !" This ; urgucj confidence In his stock, and must induce confidence in the public Head the advertisement. In keeping with our fruit mania, ire ' thsll continue urging farmers In Ne- - braska to plant fruit trees, and to give til the evidence we can get hold of In favorof this enterprise: An cli friend and sehool-mate cf ours, Dr. 11. L. ,Uartesr ttlll residing in our native town, Troy, Ohio, made a vi-ut the past fall to Egypt Illinois, and writes homo to the paper of his town, the - IHama Union, from OJin, III., under ' date of December 21, 1SC3, a lengthy and interesting letter in regard to the country. The greater portion of his letter is devoted to giving an account of the . euccess and extent of fruit growing. "We copy that portion of It entire, hoping our readers will read it with as much pleasure and encourage ment J we did. The character of the country he describes as producing such mnrnlccnt results fa the same as that along the llissouri river in our State known as "Blalls." Trees planted her in this town twelve years ago, have given like returns. We have no hesitancy in predicting that now un cultivated, rough lands, as we term them, along the river, will eventually be the most valuable and productive, becausa cf their adaptability to fruit growing. The following is an extract from Dr. Harter's letter: "About forty miles north of Cairo a "chair, cf MIL" nearly sixteen miles wide runs from the Ohio xiver on the cast to tta Mississippi river on the wust. i nssenms are covered on eith er fide of the railroad with as thritfy growing and aa fine a variety of fruit trees ana grape vines as can be found in the Unitea States. AH the lands, hill and prairie, from Villa Itidge, twelve miles north of Cairo, to Cea tralia, one hundred and twelve miles on the Illinois Central are more or less planted in fruit trees and are produc ing annually Immense crops of ap ples, pears ,. peaches, grapes, raspber ries, currants and strawberries. The boil of the prairies is a rich black loam. That of the hills is a rich clay loam, resting on a drift deposit of light friable clay, rich with all the mineral constituent that support vegetable life. Fruit trees ana vines grow and mature with unparalleled rapidity, and produce large crops of fruit when young, ditltring in this reepect from til other localities. The healthfulnees cf the trees and-the perfection of the wood growth is remarkable and ac counts for their early bearing. For early apples three varieties are culti vated with great profit, izz The Crrolina lied June, Bed Astrachan. and Early Harvest. The apple and pear orchards have been planted from ten to -fourteen "years. The peach, grape and strawberry from six to eight years. Now mor than five hundred acres sro planted in. strawberries The greatest fruit region in Egypt Is from Joncsboro to Carbondale. on the Illinois CentraL a distance of snarly tvt-aty miles. I will give you the amount of fruit shiped from a f&w stations In 1SGG, copied from the rail road iicnta books. Cobden -peaches, fix -hundred tons; strawberries, ae hundred and seventy tons, eighteen tons- in one clay, more than eight thou-fd't-ufheb. Ilapberrics, nine tons. Blackberries, two tons. To tell of one hundred and seventy tons of strawber ries shipped from one little station, is a "b'-r thins:", to ay of Egypt to the Eeople of Troy who measure berries y the quarts At MakanJa .station, six tons of peaches, four "hundred barrels of ap ples, one hundred and fifty bu&hels of pear, Un tons tf grapes, three thou- of raspberries. At Carbendalo, seven thousand boxes of peaches, one thou sand five, hundred ta.rjel3.0f apples, three hundred boxes cf pears, two thousand ; en hundred .bushels 'of strawberries, At Joneboro, forty-five tons cf etra wherries, thirty-one tons of pcachc.-- At South l'c. .i ten thou sand bushels of strawberries. Re member the above extraordinary amounts were all chipped during one Ha-n from a few points in close prox imity I I will give the statistics of the number of trees growing in the vicin itycf fcr.j of the stations. Cobden, one hundred and thirty-one thousand pea.vh -trees,' forty-one thousand pear tree, fifty-seven thousand apple trees. At Makanda station, one hundred and ixty thousand peach trees, two hun dred an d twelve thousand grapes. Of grapes, the Concord, Norton's Virgin ia, C!!r: ten, Catawba, Delaware, &c, ciue .to great perfection. During the long, dry, warm season, . peculiar to this locally, the grapes fully mature, and thorcugly riin be fore chilly nights or early fre- ii check their rrowth.. This accounts for the size, liie uuu - amount of suar and rii h r.rcir.a ot ihe grapes, j iTLa prcfcs.vion of xruit growing is refining as well as enrich lixg in a health-f'IrirT atmosphere, las mild gcniJi i-i-irrie. I am told that S GQ to will j'lint an acre cf strawberries, and $20 will cultivate it the first year. The next Frrir.T will yki i one hun dred In-hw 3' d berries. The second year v.-ni ? reduce two hundred bush- !-v v.

Aa the fruits ripen here two weeks earlier than other places, they are sure of the highest prices for the first fruits of the rear-on. The Illinois Central rans an cxpre 3 "fruit train," with ventihlile i can, daily, 'from Cairo to Chicago. ' Daring the peach season a fruit train is loaded daily with reaches alone. I have given you the &ir side of fruit pro wi n in Egyp t. I will gi ve some of the difiicul ties and drawbacks. There has been one total failure of the peach and a partial one of the pear on the hills, while there waa a good crop on the prairies. Without ViOrmigh earhf cultivation, and litaxy mulching trilh strait, when the dry season comes they do not expect large crops. Sometimes late fpnng frosts nip the strawberry in bloom and the severe drought will injure the crop if not properly cultivated and protected with straw or saw dusL Band that could have been pur chased eight years since for$oto$10an acre is new telling at from $100 to per acre. Aside from the information as to the extent of fruit growing in the region referred to, the above letter contains some valuable points as to essential requisites, viz : The character of the soil, the manner of cultivating, and the variety of fruits. It is true that they now have market facilities that we have not. They, however, planted bf.fore they had market facilities, and you, farmers of Nebraska, will have abundant market facilities by the time your trees and vines will be in full bearing. Crab Apples. Fruit growers are just now paying considerable attention to Crab Apples. If we were asked to define a Crab Ap ple we should he much puzzled, as tne subject, both in pomolo$rieal books and in nurseries, Is "rather mixed." The term is applied to the wild state of our cultivated apple fyrxs jiaivs). to two Siberian epecies or vancues (J . pruni folia and P. baccata), end two native f pedes of ar pre ( ewonarid and P. anymtifolia.) More thaa this, some small apples of double origin. which may possibly be hybrids, are - - ,, - M - t aiso caueu craos. 1 ears uza wnen we had only the kind that bore small, waxen looking fru-t from which tn caylix dropped, there va? bo troub in GistinguLsaingauraa Ar t!?, 13 was the Small Siberian Crab (P. bac cata.) Then came the Barge Siberian, both red and yellow, which was like the other in roost respects, except tnattne fruit was larger ana the calyx remained. This is the Siberian Plmn- leaved Apple Tree (P. pruni folia.) Of th sorts more lately introduced, tne origin is uouotiui. leaving nom ologist to settle knotty points, we may say that those apples which have, so to speak, Siberian blood in them are hardy and productive, and though the fruit Is not always of the first qual ity it is generally good for cookinc. and the trees by their hardiness are especially suited to cold climates. 1-rom tne great beauty and rrofu- sion of the fruit the Crabs are worthy of cultivation as ornamental trees, while at the same time, the apples will be found excellent for preserves and jellies. We enumerate the most prominent varieties: Currant Crab. cultivated for ornament, it being showy both in fruit and flower. SmaU liea ana Small Yeuow Crab. These are tne Kinas reierred to above as dropping the calyx ; very showy in fruit. Large Pea and Larae Yellow Crab. These bear fruit about twice the size of the foregoing, do not drop the calyx, and the trees also have dif ferently shaped leaves. Transcendent Crab. Said to have been discovered on Long Island. A great bearer, with most beautiful fruit and withstands the severest cold of our northernmost localities. The fore going are ripe in September and Octo ber. We have now a winter crab, which is said to keep until spring, called the Marengo Winter Crab. This is very strongly advocated by the pro prietor, who brinjrs good testimony in favor of its quality. We have not seen tne mm. j.ne oowara vrao is anotner new rrti r t - t . t variety, which has been supposed to oe or xiussian origin, out nr. boulard, in the Gardeners Monthly for Julv last, gives its history; A thicket of native crab Apple trees near St. Louis, Mo., was cut down, and another croD of trees afterwards snruntr un. in which was found the variety now known aa the Soulard. He supposes it to be a hybrid between the Wild Crab (Pjrus coronaria) and the culti vated apple. Said to be very fine for cooking and with care to keen for two years. Our Wild Crabs, so beautiful In flower and foliage, bears a fruit of marked fragrance, but of little value. We learn that an improved seedling of it has been exhibited in Canada, but 110 particulars are given concern ing Its qualities. Twricai Agricul turist. ClippingsandJctfingsAgricuUural.
