nrnpr ana Crape Culture?. Tlie f.djowinc: interesting report and obfervation on praf'e culture, is from the pen of onr friend. I)r. John A. Warder, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Ilioe all interested in trrape culture in Indiana, will give it a careful perusal. It will be found to be a rery concise and accurate puide to thoe about to embark in prape culture, v well aa to those who are now cultivating the vine : D. B. Pierson, Prmtkut (f tfo Cincinnati lljrtic alt urn! Svieti: In accordance with tn order and custom of onr Socictv, I proceed to render some account of w hat i have met with of interest while absent on a horticultural excursion. Having recently enjored an opportunity of inspecting the extensive plantations of ler. J. Knox and others, in the vicinity of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, I proceed to give you some account of hi admirable management, and of his wonderful success. The experiments of Mr. Knox have demonstrated that Le has an excellent soil and situation for fruits, especially for pvaiKrs and strawberries, and al?o that he has known how to take advantage of his favorable surroundings so as to brinjr about the most admirable results. The situation is u0u t'io !;u;h rolling land south of the Mouonabtla river, above which it is elevated between four and five hundred feet. The dope incline variously, but those looking to the outh and wet arc chiefly selected for grape planting. The soil is a clayey loam, with a liberal intermixture of sandstone, but also has lime cnotttrh to impregnate the percolating water. In ioinv places the fisib sandstone constitutes a larger proportion of the soil. This is particularly the ca-e on Troy Ilill, Reserve Township, north of Alleghany City, where there are numerous vineyards covering nearly one hundred acres, some of which art' very precipi ons, hanging upon the southern and eastern declivity, supported by massive walls of sandstone, built at preat expense. In other place, the tenacious light colored clayey sub-oil of this region, approaches the surface, and infcrminqrling with the soil, makes u troug cht v. In such situations underdraining is very desirable. Preparation. The plow, followed by the subsoil lifter, has Uen fcund by Mr. Knox to lie all sufficient for comminuting this soil. With a strong pair of horses to the plow, followed bv two pairs of oxen to the lifter, lie is able to work a'out one-third of an acre per diem. This process is. performed in the autumn. The ground is n-xt cross-plowed with the sunie implements, going deeper, and a third plowing is done in the spring before planting, so that the soil is thoroughly prepared, beinr stirred to a depth of from fifteen to eighteen inches.

The vines arc of one summer's growth from i

single ees, that are started in Mr. Knox's extensive propagating houses in the spring, and set out in well prepared soil about the lirstof Jut.e, for the summer's growth in the open air, which gives them vorv line roots, and substantial stockv tops. Front this soil they arc carefully lifted with their abundant fibers and are planted in the vim-yard ground, with their roots carefully sprca.l out in every direction. Sometimes a portion are planted in their stations, from the pots din ctly.from the propagating house, instead of sending a summer in the nursery, but such are not considered to be so gxd, though a seascn is gained by this plan. Tl.c distance between the vines is six feet in rows that are eight feet apart ; this is for trellis training upon the rcncxal system. A small stake is set by each plant, to which the shoots are tied. Instead of cutting the little vines back to two eves, onlv the ltcble wood at the ends is a cut off, leaving several budson the larger plants, and as these grow, the weaker are rubbed out and only the strongest allowed to remain. Tle reason for this is obvious it is to insure against accidental injury to the prominent buds in handling plants. During the summer tho shoots are tied to the stakes, and the next spring they are cut back to two eyes to force out two strong canes, which are tied up and trimmed of their lattcral for three or four feet. In strong vines a third cane is sometimes allowed to grow the second season, the object of which will appear presently. Training on the trellis commence with the third season of the vineyard, when the stakes are dispensed with. Posts aro planted in the rows that run north and south, about sixteen feet apart ; to these, strips of boards, three or four inchc wide, are nailed, a foot from the ground, and seven feet above it, tliesc are the rails to

kinJi as utiilerordinarT treatment are conMfinl shr bearer., prodarinj: onlv an arerae of ten j-crtVct and well sized l-erries to an Lnndml llojoms are here made to yield 75 per cent. ; bat the Ftooh are so strong, having $o many point of inflorescence in each cn.wn. that the ag-gre-pate of fi-nitacre i much larger than even the per rentage of fruit produrin;; iriowers would make it appear to be. Thus, in numerous counts very carefully made upon tlie jrround la?t June, I reached the lolloping results : One plant of the Wonderful produced 359 blossoms. A plant of the thnte St. Julien had 84 Mosfomi, which yielded 67 fruits, or SO. Kite's Goliath had 64 per cent, of fruit; Trollepe's Victoria, 52 per cent.; and all of

these varieties are considered strongly staminate, J and, with the usual culture, they barely yield 10 j

yvr itui. A very extenive investigation by counting in the case of the Triomple de Gaud, pare less than 42 per cent, of the blossoms yielding perfect fruit, and yet, o numerous were the flowers on these planti, that tlie number of re sulting fruits was very preat, being nearly fifty en several plants ; whereas, with the common field culture on our soils, this beautiful fruit has piyred itself unworthy of culture from iu unproductiveness, many plants having no fruit whatever succeeding a plenteous llossominu'.

This vine i omevihat tender, and the canes, like those of the Diana, tre taken down and covered with earth in the winter, but the fruit is so spicy, and so free from pulp, that it is fully appreciated by the proprietor, who rates it among the bet table grajies. Its qualities for wine are well known here. The must thi year weirh 101. The Eliinboiv, an old Tariety but not generally cultivated, is a prime favorite with Mr. Knox, on account of its hardiness, productiveness, and the rich sweetness of its small, dark-blue berriet, with red juice; the bunches are rather large,

The Hartford Prolific is an early variety, ripening its fruit for market early in September. The viae is hardy, vigorous, and very productive, vielding more than fifty pounds ax four years. The fruit is not first-rate, but very desirable for market. The berries do not drop, as reported heretofore. The Crcvtling is winning favor wherever known. The vine is vigorous, hardy, and premises to Im productive. The bark and leaf-stalks are very red ; the foliage is smooth, the angles pointed, deeply lobed and healthy.

It is sweet and not musky ; quality from good to better a table prape. Though well favored enough, it can scarcely e said to justify its coenotnen, which means emphatically, 'Die H dutiful.

The (j rt' is -ufhi ntly vigorous and healthy, toWnbly pndulire, but the lunches are nt large : it may make a jkmI red wine, but is not desirable for table. The same rematki will apply to the 's Iihd, which has smaller bunches, and medium i.ed, daik Llue 1-enies, with a jeenliar a-trinpency ; indeed it resembles our Wrtkhijti-n grape in it slender wood, and thin, smooth flia-;e.

After setting the grapes in their s Ations in the vinevard, Mr. Knox plants the 8 fet space with three rows of strawberries, eighteen inches apart, the plants being separated from ttn to twelve inche ; the whole surface is kept perfectly clean with the hoe during the summer, tnd the runners are trimmed off as they make heir appearance. By this means the plants iecome very stocky and strong. At the approach of winter the beds are covered with clean straw, which protects the plants from freezing aid thawing, as a winter mulch. The new leaves and fiowers come through the straw in the sprhg, the fruit is protected from the dirt, and the whole crop is mulched by the decaying straw dariig the summer. By this mean the most woncerful cropof magnificent berries are produce" such, indeed, as mut le seen to be realized.
