RETORT OF FRUIT COMMITTEE.
Mr. J. W. Akers, Secretary, read the
following report on the fruits exhibited
at last meeting;
Pears—The Pear, Henry the 4th,
from Col. Peter’s orchard, was pronounced
by the committee worthy of amateur
cultivation; sizo medium, or rather bo-
low, flavor very good, tree u fair grower
on quince stock, and tolerably prolific.
Bartlett’s were exhibited by Peters,
Ormond. Wells, Wallace and Goodman.
This old universal favorite sustained its
already wall known reputation. The
committee consider Bartlett superior to
all other for extensivo orchard culture.
Beurre Olairgeon, by Col. Peters, was
prouounoed in advance of its season; so
were several others. The committeo pre
fer to wait until ripor specimens were be
fore them before passing upon these
kinds. The Louise Bon de Jersey, from
Peters, Waloce, and Jennings, was con
sidered second only to the Bartlett, auil
on a quince stock rather superior. This
is a well known variety with pear ool-
turists, and succeeds admirably lit the
South.
Tho Howell, by Wallaco nnd Robinson,
is on A merican pear of worth, though
specimens before the committeo were
prematurely ripenod and foiled to do the
variety justice. Its timo of ripening in
this latitude, is from tho middle of Au
gust to tho touth of Scptombor.
Tho Tyson, by Peters and Wallaoo,
was pronounced one of our best early
varieties; size large, flavor best.
St. Miobiel’a Arohangcls, by Wallace,
size medium, very popular with tho com
mittee; flavor excellent, not excelled even
by the Biecle.
Several other specimens of pears were
on exhibition, but without labels. Borne
of thrtn were very line, fully equal to
most of tho kinds noticed. These are
not, howover, believed to bo new varie
ties.
Tho White Doycnno is another kind
represented by several of our best pomolo-
gists. The speoimous exhibited were
of uniform sizo and appearance, very
hnndsome, with flavor unsurpassed.—
Very few pears are consideied more
worthy of cultivation at tho South.
Peaciies.—The Red Cheek Melocoton,
by Robinson and Wollaco, a freestone
peach, of large sizo, good flavor, quality
verv good.
Chinese Cling, by Wells, very largo and
juicy, one of the vory finest curly cliugs,
and deserves n place in every collection
of choiee fruits.
The Lemon Cling, by Wallace, a well
known popular variety, of good sizo and
variety.
Tiuloy’s superb, largo reddish-yellow
freestone, is of unsurpassed flavor.
Thu Ficwclten, by Robinson, is one of
tho earliest clings, good size, en Indian
peach, of superior excellence, very juicy
nnd highly flavored.
length of tho limbs A great deal lias | from twenty years experience. There
been said about cutting near a bud, that
may be best, but is not very material, use
a sharp knife, rnako a clean cut, slanting;
this is the first year’s treatment. The
next year tho tree will bear a few peaches
if the season is good. If any long limbs
come out, trim thorn nil', and go through
the shortening process again. If you
don’t tho tree will outgrow itself, and bo
like some of my trees now, or my friend
Jock Wallace. As we have all been more
or less demoralized by llie war, our own
treos have suffered also from neglect und
otber causes. When trees once get into
that condition, I know of no remedy for
them but to dig them up; nothing can bo
said in favor of priming an old peach tree,
the best plan is to dig them np; occa
sionally they may do well, if cut down
sud allowed to sprout up again, but I do
not approve of it; by far the best is to
dig them up and replant, hut not in the
same place; it will take eight or ten Years
before tho ground would be suitable to
grow peaches aguin. Keep up tho prun
ing plan till the tree is so large as to be
beyond your reach, then you con let them
go. The best crops are tho second nnd
third years’ bearing, the fruit is then the
finest nnd best, every succeeding year tho
fruit deteriorates in Bizo and quality.—
This is a poor pencil year; they ore all
small this year. I have n favorite tree
that onght to bo dug up, os the peaches
are much smallor than on younger trees.
Do not plant in very rich ground. If
your ground is rich, plant further apart.
As a general rule, twenty feet is the right
distance. Yon may cnltivato between tho
treos peas or cotton. In the Nurtli they
havo an enemy to pencil trees that is un
known hero—I call it the yellows. The
leuves turn yellow and fall off, and the
tree seems blighted. Here, tho greatest
enemies to the pcachtroo are the peach-
borer anil old ago, which latter may visit
us all. Tho borer is tho easiest to get
rid of, of anything in tho world, with
proper treatment. About tho first of
November you dig down and scrape away
tho dilt until you exposo tho yellow roots
of the tree ; carvo out every worm ; leave
them exposed till near tho beginning of
Jfay: seo that you have got all out Irom
tho tree, then bank up the tree abovotbc
surface close to tho tree. In the mouth
of Juno somo of thellios cannot pene
trate, and die. A few delicate flies of the
moth species may survive. Thoy are
hatched out about tho first of June, and
depusit their eggs on, or near, tho sur
face, close to tho tree. When November
again comes, renew your attack upon
them as before, and you wilt finally erad
icate them.
Mr. J. J. Toon—Wished to know what
would ho the best treatment to orchards
around the city, where there were trees
of four or five years standing in bud con
dition.
Mr. Peters—Cut them down and begin
are other gentlemen here of long ex
perience, w Ire will confirm my views. I
allude chiefly to the matter of pruning.
If perfectly pruned, they produce better
and more peaches than if allowed to go
unprum-d.
Mr. Wollaco—I havo found that it will
not do to thin tho fruit after a certain time.
It will injure the whole crop to do so.
Col. Howard—I would not on any ac
count ullow oats to be In an orchard of
peaches.
After transacting much important busi

next Saturday morning at PJ o’clock.

YOUNG FBACIl ORCHARDS.
Colonel R. Fetors gnvo a succinct ae-
oount of tho proper management of
yonng peach orchards, timo and modo of
pruning, oucmlcs encountered und how
ovorcome. With an enlarged experience
of nearly a quarter of a oentury, his viows
are onlitled to weight, and were listened
to attentively.
UR. peters
said: Borne twenty years ago I experi
mented thoroughly on that subject. I
corresponded with almost evory ono that
I supposed could give information
abontit; With Governor Hammond, of
South Carolina; Mr. Redman, Mr. Rob
inson, of Downing Hill Nursery, and
many others. We planted .orchards and
tested the various modes; somo I planted
without touching them again in the way
of pruning; others I pruned and tried
various methods. In planting an orchard
a great many think twcuty-flvo cents too
high for peach trees; bo they will proceed
to sow the semi; then when about eiglr
leen mouths old proceed to graft or bud.
In Angnst it is a foot or two fcot high;
next year he brings them into markctfhe
must dig them up aud mnke somo use of
them, either plant or sell or throw them
away; they ore of so much more rapid
growth than a pear. If planting an or-
ohard, I would bay peach trees abont
eighteen months old, a tree of the second
season. Tho beat time to plant is usual
ly in November or early pint of Decem
ber. Cut them off about four and a half
feet high, and be certain never to leave a
limb on—leave nothing but the stump;
that is the only way to do it; any other
way is wrong; somo want them a little
higher aud some a little lower; plant at
deep as it stood in the nurssry, or per
haps a little deeper; plant in November,
gd the succeeding summer let the limbs
grow as they please, bearing in
mind tho principle that loaves make
roots aud roots make leaves. In
fall, say latter part of August, in
September or October, out and prune the
tree into good shape; this must be done
when the tree has stopped growing for
the season; out off all straggling branch
es, so as properly to balance the tree, so
the limbs come out regularly; avoid leav
ing a fork, as tbe tree is apt to split
when laden with fruit. When von got
the tree in proper shape, cut off half the
again.
Col. Howard -Cut the tree to a stamp;
nso wood ashes, nnd cultivate with enry;
plant no oats near them—oats will ruin
any orchard.
W. r. Fattillo—Enquired if there was
no way that pcaehtrecs might be planted
in orchards now in use?
Mr. rotors—You may do it if you bring
fresh soil from the woods in sufficient
quantity.
Dr. Alexander—Can’t yon treat an old
treo tho same way?
Mr. raters—'Tho seoond crop of a yonng
tree is tho great crop of the tree. The
first is tho largest peach; the second and
third the paying crop; that is my ex
perience. It is tho experience of the
peneli-grownrs of Delaware and New Jer
sey. Afterwords thoy become smaller by
1 agree* and beautifully less.
Dr. Alexander—I havo an orchard that
vfas planted by Mr. Akers, from which I
can sell peaches at three or four dollars
per bushel, wliilo poaches aro selliug on
tho streets at eighty cents
W. F. I’atillo—Has any one tried the
effect of carbolic soap or carbolic acid ?
Conhl not a solution of one or the other
bo used on the roots of peach trees with
advantage ?
Mr. Wallace —You cannot reach the
borer that way; you must uso a kuife.
Col. T. Howard—If you will make a
box of boards ubout tlireo feet high
around tho hoe and fill it with bay, that
will prevent the borer reaoliing tho root.
Mr. rotors—'The simplest nnd cheapest
way is to use dirt to bank up to the
tree.
Mr. Wallaco—Tho best plan is the
dirt.
Col. Howard—I object to tho banking
system; it is comparatively new and un
tried.
Mr. reters— It was first brought out
by Downing years ago. You will kill a
pair or an oak treo, aud some others, hut
not a peach.
Mr. Cole—There is no doubt but that
tho peachtrec is very much benefltted by
this banking system, aud if persevered
in it will destroy tho borer entirely. I
must qualify that somowhat. You may
leave a few, but which c«re, aud taking
them out with a knife, w hen tho borer is
fairly imbeded, lie is in a casemate. You
must exposo the colure of tho tree, and
root him out. If uot ousted, when
summer comes lie will find liis way out,
and deposit, his eggs. If you get him out
of his casemate, tho winter will kill him.
It will bo well not to put tho bank too
high, but it must corer tho calm* of the
treo; if perserved in the objoct will be
obtainod.
Mr. Akers -1 adopted that plan in I860,
and while I kept tho orchard on that
plan it was free from borers.
Mr. Wallace—Tho mere exposure does
uot kill the borer. I havo soon them en
veloped in solid ice, which, after being
melted tho borer still lived.
Mr. Fetars—Ono of tho difficulties wc
havo hero with tho lato poaches is that
the cureulis has four seasons, or four
generations, so tho earlier varieties of
peaches escape tho attacks of succeeding
generations, which attack tho inter varie
ties, lienee the oarly pooch is tho best for
cultivation in tbe city. In the country
they have an advantage in allowing tho
hogs to run in tho orchards, and they de
stroy great numbers of theso posts.
Mr. J. Norcross—Said that iu Ohio
their viows about prunning varied con
siderably from Mr. Fetcre’.
Mr. Peters—Replied that this was tho
natural climate of the peach, and that
Ohio was not so well adapted to it I
have paid dear for my experience in read
ing Northern works and following their
plana. Our cliqiate is so different tlmt
tho culture must be different too. I speak
The Flomin Hewing Nnthlnr.'
Tim fact Ibut Mr. D. L. Hill lias taken
the agency of the Florence Hewing Ma
chine, in connection with Mr. Guilford,
is all tho guaranty that is needed that the
Machino is first-class in overy particular.
Mr. Hill is an old sewing-machine man,
and has become popularly known to our
people through his long connection with
tho Howe Machine. Ho has sold a great
many of tho latter and, we think, has
given satisfaction. Hut he has diposed
of tho Howe agency nnd taken the Flor
once, to which ho will give his undivided
attention. This signifies that tho former
popularity of the Machine is to be in
creased at once, and wc expect very soon
to find persons nsing it who havo, here
tofore, given their preference to others.
Tho Florenco is a good, substantial
Machine, is easily managed, and com
bines all the advantages that can bo
claimed for any other, together with some
that aro peculiar to it. It is well and
handsomely constructed, is a light-run
ner, will do anything that can bo done on

stitch, is cosily understood and controlled,
and is, withal, iu every respect, ono of
tho best on tho maikot. Messrs. Guil

On Friday night last, at the meeting
of tho City Council, Major George Hill-
yer guvenotice, “by authority,” that the
Georgia Railroad Company “docs not
hold itself hound” to meet its subscrip
tion to the Georgia Western Railroad.
This notice was given in writing; signed
by Major Hillyer, who added verbally
that Judgo King thought llio city of At
lanta had not reaffirmed its subscription
since the war, aud that the Georgia
Railroad subscription was sot binding.
Tho peoplo of Atluuta have received
this announcement with surprise, und
many are indignant. What can tie the
real motive for this action is extensively
canvassed among our people. It is cer
tainly vory greatly to tho interest of the
Georgia Railroad to havo tho Georgia
Western bnilt at onoe, and Jstill more so
to own Stock in it. It is also cer
tainly very greatly to the interest of the
Georgia Road, and also of Augusta, that
Atlanta should thrive and flourish. The
Stock would be much enhanced in value,
if Atlanta were to-day five times as large
as it is. To thwart the construction of
tho Georgia Western, or even to fail or
neglect to assist in tho work actively with
means, or to do anything that .will retard
the prosperity of Atlanta, is certainly a
suicidal policy for tho Georgia Road to
pursue. Something, we should think, is
at tho bottom of this notice which is not
very apparent on the surface. If the Di
rectors desire to cripple and damage their
own rood, it cannot adopt a more certain
means ul doing so, than preventing the
building of tho Georgia Western, or re
tarding the growth of Atlanta. This fact
is too patent to need elucidation.
The city of Atlanta has re-affirmed its
subscription to tho Georgia Western
since tho war, in solemn form—Judgo
King’s opinion to tho contrary notwith
standing. We, howover, do not seo tho
necessity of this re-affirmation. Tho
subscription was actuully mado—both by
tho city of Atlanta and by tho Georgia
Railroad, nnd neither party can hack out
from its contract—its binding obligation
Such, nt least, is tho view entertained by
eminent lawyers; and that the Georgia
Road can be held to the porformnnee of
the contract. Be this as it may, it looks
like an act of bad faith to try to ovade
it, or refuse to perform it cheerfully and
to the fullest extent.
As we said, there must bo something
behind the socnes, which is not apparent
and just at tho threshold, the written no
tice of Major Hillyer is ono of tho
queerest documents we have seen in many
days. It very forcibly strikes the mind
as if it were intended to havo several
constructions put upon it, or to he used
for several purposes, or for any purpose
as occasion might require. It is truly a
curiosity iu its way. Here it is, as wo
find it in tho “official proceedings”
tho Conncil.
Atlanta, August 4,1871.
While I am, ns an individual, earnestly
in favor of the Georgia Western Railroad,
and of tho renewal of tho Georgia Rail
road subscription to the samo, yot, as
one of tho Directors of tho Georgia
Railroad, by tho authority of the same,
it becomes my duty to givo notice that
tho latter company does uot hold itself
bound by any former subscription or
proposod subscription to said Georgia
Woatorn Railroad. As an individual. I
regret ta have to perform this duty, and
os an Atlanta mun, beg leave to say that
I shall lonvo no reasonable effort un
tried with my fellow members of tho
Board to indnen them to renow their
said subscription, believing os I do that
the Georgia Railroad is deeply interested
in tho proposed mathematical extension
of their own lines into ono of the most
undeniably freight producing regiour in
tho United States.
Georoe Hillyer.
Why was this notice given to tho City
Council 1 Such matters properly belong
to tho Board of Directors, and tho Coun
cil can do nothing in relation to it—no
moro than any other stockholder. The
Road is organizod, aud ofllccis and di
rectors appointed, anil all such communi
cations should be mado to them. Tho
Counoil has no authority in the caso, and
very properly referred it whore it proper
ly belongs.
But the Road can aud must, and
will ho built, no matter whethor the
Georgia Railroad stands np, or is held to
the fulfilling of its obligations or not
If that road or Augnsta allows the Geor
gia Western to be bnilt withont lending
a helping hand, it can bo used effectively
against both, whereby they will feel the
fruits of this refusal. Already somo of
onr merchants are talking of bringing no
more goods via Angusta. It is to the in
tcrest of tho Georgia Road and of Au
gusta, to facilitate overy enterprizo that
will benefit Atlanta.
Wo especially desire not to be under
stood ns charging Jlog. Hillyer with try
ing to deecivo iu this matter. We feel
very sure that lie, as ho says, is personal
ly in favor of tho Goorgia Road standing
up to its subscription; but we insist that
tho notice ho has given the City Conncil
is tho queerest document wo havo seon
for years.
Wo shall say more on this subject, and
we add now, that Atlanta and the people
along the line of thoGeorgia Western aro
abundantly able to build tho road, and
aud will proceed to build it, whether the
