Gentlemen of the Georgia State Horticul
tural Society:—Again it uccotnes ray pleae-
iug duty u address you upon this, onr
fourth ftnnunl reunion. We meet after a
peculiarly disastrous fruit season to
many of ns, yet it affords m« sincere
• iticfaction in welcoming so many of our
members.
Tbis is a happy omen to tho fatnre of
onr ftstooiatioo; it is a manifest evidence
ihst this loss in vour fruit crop, far from
discouraging joa, has spurr.dyon to
meet for caancil, to advise with each
other, and thus adopt the beat methods
to remedy futnro disasters, so far as lie
within the provinco of hnmun skill and
forethought.
When I left home yesterday I was
fnliy cjnvmc6d that I w nld find our El
h'httion Hull b '.rreu of frn-.t, and instead
of onr pus: grand displays I would see bn'
.. few scattering plates of Inferior peaches,
grapes aud suubnrned vegetables. Yon
may jadge of my sstonisnment when, in-
- oi.l of tbis dolorns prospect, a gorg.ions
array of snperb frait met my eye. Such
bright colored peaeboiand unusually fine
grapes as I there beheld dcmcnsiratol
m t oonclii ivrly that, after taking in
consideration the nrfavorable weather
which ha i prevailed since esily spring,
total failure of the frmt crop of Georgia
is r o: Lkely ever to happen.
Ao in other branchca of all agricalta-
raj pnreiii-s, pirtial failures aro inevita
ble in the succession of seasons, yet
lbo hiisbandm.n do not give up the cul
tiv.ition cf certain crops, because of an
occasional drawback; hence ihe mishaps
of a few is no cauro for discouragement
to onr fruit growing interest.
We have many important subjects to
consider nt this reunion. AmoDg thorn
hich I would iuvito your attention,
ere the most desirable
■itoTKCTiva measures AaAiNsT 8PRIKO I of our nature wnen we are surround
'.io', beirg ia the Dime and the fancy
price of the tree*. It i- safe to aay that
doubde^- some valuable varieties from
;hi? abacuance will be aided to our lis:
r ‘ early kinds, but wh. t guarantee has
tue parchas-r taat the greater portion
w.ll prow of any value or materially diff
er- n- frrm onr alrialy well kcowc kinds.
A l.'W j. i:; ags there was an infiux of
new varieties of tomatoes. This amount
'd for a while to an epidemic madness.
Now we are i.kely to have an outbreak of
.3 extra early peach rage. It is to be
regretted fer the sake of horticulture
tbit specula'ion upon our agricultural
people will boon toe increas- and that
- r. is discouraging results must come.
At former me tings the quev.ion of
CHEAP TBAX=rJBraTItM OF FBCIT3 AND
VEGETABLES
has been disoaased and special commit-
t-es eppoin:ei to endeavor to secure low
r»l»saud qcick transit. With very few
exception-, ha- ,.r,y:hing prac ical been
-cbievsd. Ta ’difficulty consis's in the
.-esreity of the material to be transport :-J,
aud not in the unwiUicgcesi of ths rail-
roal cmjp.nie. to uffjrd every facility
asi-d for. So long as fruit and vegeta
bles are grown sparingly for distant
markets, so long must transportation
companies remain unwilling to expend
i irg ;-.[inn ir.j' uiidiog fruit cars aod oth-. r
appliances by which perishable products
ean he rapidly and safely transported.
Bat let the railroad companies be assured
by practical evidence that au abundc toe
:.f material ii at band, and that the fu
ture -apply is likely to be in an ioereased
ratio, then their will be little necessity
urging tbeui to supply either fruit esrs
lo r rates and quick transit. Tne solving
of Ibis problem, lies therefore, in a great
mea-uro with tae frail and vegetable
gr . v. 1-. ALv.Jy is ibis made evident
along the liues of tbe Central and Scatn
wo-tern Ei'.lroids, where the planting
market orettards is larger than in <
other seotion cf the State. This
is greatly due to to the liberal policy
of that corpora ion which clearly sees
that it is to ita interest to help those
who strivo to help themselves. Anotne;
instance of liber.1 oo-operatiou to the
fruit gtowmg interest of the State, is the
unfailing support of the Southern Express
Company. None of us who have had oo-
oasion toavul oursdves of its servioes
have ©au i» for complaint, as every faoility
and tne lowest possible rates of freig r
within ibair power to grant have always
been extended to frail shippers,
We must not forget the eab-taotial aid
given to our --/oieiy and its objects by
me
PRESS OF GEORGIA AND SISTER STATES,
which has never allowed an opportnui
to pass whsu it eon!-1 lend ns its coroi
support, by publishing snoh portions
onr tran-aotiuus as would most readily
reach those likely to be bent-fitted.
At oar previous meeting I mentioned
ihat Georgia peaohes had reoeived the
highest quotsiloes tn New York dur
ing May, Juno and Jaly, 1878, T
I am
happy to etato that lha earliest shipment
of poaches to N.,-v York has again been
made this year by our - President,
Mr. Saiuael H. Knmpb, on tbe 2U:U o'
.May last, the variety being tne Atexan
der Ths market reports also have quo-
t -d Georgia peaches higher than those
received at tne earns time from other
States, tbm proving that onr State
has attained the front rank among tho
fruit-producing eeotions of America,
proud distinction which our people must
retain by careful cultivation, aud still
mere careful selection in picking and
shipping to Northern markets.
CONCLUSION.
The time aliened to our reunion
limited, and every portion thereof mnst
be practically devoied to tho cooyiiera-
lionof many other subjeots, which will
arise during onr fiiscussiuns; lot me,
therefore, impress upon each of you that,
although eome of ua may have some-
thing to teach, all came here to loam
that we mey in turn impart to others
whatever may tmd to their ben.fi-,

The few fortunate members of our
Society who have escuptd the almost
general disaster, have great cause to be
grateful, and their suffering brethren
look to them for any information they
may be able to impart as suggestive of
methods used in protecting their orops
aimt the disastrous effects of tho frosts
of last April.
THE ECARCITV OF FRUIT
in our markets, this summer, nas demon
strated one' fact which should for a long
time to coma set at rest the fears of those
ho think the price of fruit will eveatu
ally become unremnnerative to tbo pro-
da
The intellectual progress of our people is
firat made evident by tbo adoption of a
more rational and hygienic diet; a regular
supply of fruits and vegetables form the
basis cf this progressive step; hence tbe
lorn of the present year’s fraic crop has
been more keenly felt than bad our mar
kets been totally barren of fresh meats.
In other words, our people have become
d to frnit diet. The; need it, and
are willing to pay good pricta for a cor
respondingly good artiole. This actual
craving for fruits iu summer was forcibly
made evident lately in tbe city of Augus
ta, by seeing most wretchedly inferior
nce-cornerseedling peaches, not larger
than a hickory nut, eagerly purchased at
fifty and seventy five cents a peek. Such
miserable specimens would not bring ten
ents a bushel in ordinary seasons.
True, prices may rule low iu certain
seasons from accidental causes, but upon
the whole I trust that I will not be far
rong iM say that among our email far
mers fruitgrowing has paid better lately
than tbe production of almost any other
crop.
We have substantial and convincing
proofs withia the last twenty years that
as the supply of fruit increases so does
tbe demand.
INCREASE IS KITCHEN VEGETABLE
An important aud gratifying faet is the
ncreaied area ot land devoted to the cul
ture of vegetables in the neighborhood of
onr cities and along the lines of rail-
roads, ;from whioh our markets receive a
eUer and more abundant supply, where-
sat tbe same time tbe surplus of home
consumption goes to supply the demands
of sections further north. This increa-e
th.s branch of production is materially
oefitting a cla-s of onr people who,
cans are too limited to attempt more
treneive farming operations,thu- allow
ing their industry to become more
munerative while adding to the comfort
ur city people as weil as their own.
Oar society has from its origin
d to removj obstacles from tbe
path of progress by pointing out the
angers besetting fruit culture nnd adve
ning the claims of what was meritori
ous
We have three classes of fruit pro-
ucers: First the market orohardist,
hose investment is iu many instance
large; second, tho smalt faimer,
who depends upon his few trees for
portion cf his family -upport, and third.
) amateur, who expects increased
aeure and family supplies. Etch of
classes of producers has an equal
mount of solicitude in the result of tmir
labor and investment; neither can affjrd
e disappointed after patiently wailing
for years for his tree to yield fruit. It
hen b >eomes every tree pi inter’s duty
t
U1M1NATE IN THE f*LECIX-W OF VARI
ETIES,
ad not to invest in sd; new sort whose
cess is the least doubtful, or who
genuineness is rne least suspicions. At
the nsE of being taiid in the pertinacity,
I must again urge upon all fruit grow
ers great cation in investing in the new
very tarly varieties of peaches now offer
ed tnroughout the country. What was
considered a boon to fruit cilture a few
years ago when the Hobs, Beatrice and
Alexander were encce»sively introduced,
may eventually prove a source of lo--
aud di-couragemen: to many who will
invest incautiously in the purchase of
comparatively untried sorts, lhe list of
new early peaches which have been in.
troduced by various persons in 1878
numbers upwards of twenty varietie-.
Every one of these is claim,d to be ear
lier, larger and better than the Alexan
der. The prices asked for trees of these
sorts will likely prove identical reprodue
lions of the Alexander, the only distino-
by all that is refining, bsautifal and
obastening, a feeling which is always
born when wo are among our Fruits and
Flowers.

Tho Secretary made his report. He
reported the amonnt of colleotionB and
disbursements with itemiz'd accounts of

In couolasion, ho reoommended that
tbe Secretary be authorized to parobasa
a eot of -helves for the preserving of the
hooks belonging to the Society, and to
oolieot a good horticultural library.
The report was referred to the Execu

The President called tho attention of
the members of the Society to the fact
that the Constitution provided that no

DISTRICT COMMITTEES REPORT.
The report of the Committeo of tbe
Viee-Presidenta of the various districts
was called for. No report wasreadfrtm
first district. Mr. Hartridge, the
President of that district, trainee, = ; rily
absent.
Mr. John S:»rk for the-second diatria
made a repot t in sub-lance, as follows:
That the interest in frmt cnltnre was
rapidly incyca-usg in hii district. Many
standard varieties whioh were set ont
8iven years ago, have came into bearing-
Pears and grapes are the lea J:og frnits
grown in the eonta part of his district.
Tne pear blight is worse than last year.
The Liconte is the only variety which
has escaped. This variety is free from
blemish and ships well. Mist varieties
frnited au average crop.
Tbe grape crop, on acconnt of the oold
weather, is reduced to about a third of a
crop. Tho northern portion of the dis
trict is better adapted for peach culture
than the southern and trees taere failed
to meet moderate expectations, the frnit
rotting before maturity. Apples did S3
wella3 usual. Strawberries were plen
tiful from March until the middle of
Jane. Figs were abundant. The Ja
pan persimmon is fruiting in Thomas
county. Orange trees are in fine growth
and full ot frmt.
No reports from the third and fourth
districts.
Dr. Samuel Hape presented the follow
ing report from tho fifth district:
The present season has been one of
anusuol scarcity in all kinds of fruits
known to ns in this region. Even that
hardy, innch abused ana yet very valua
bis and healthy frail, the blackberry, is a
partial failure. Taere is perhaps to this
declarztion a siDgleexception when weal-
lude to a complete failure iu the fruit crop
—we mean tho much prized and ever
popular grape. Tne vine is healthy and
the yield tine. We had hoped in
our report to allude iu detail to
our own experience, together with
that of eomo ot onr fruit-growing friends
to the habits and time of ripening of some
of our new varieties of eatly peaches.
Especially is this true of such as were
partinly tested last year. We await in
patience, however, the propitious move
ments of a future season that will give
ns an abnadaut yield. What we lose in
fruit the present season will be partly
atoned form a fine growth of wood, a
most iaditpecsable adjunct in prodneing
the innch coveted and more palatable
product of the tree.
There has not .abated any interest in
frnit growing whatever in our ssotion,
bat on tbe contrary wo are very
sure that more than ever heretofore the
people of this region are interested io
fruit culture. Tney have determined to
tG3t practically what to them has been
theory as to the profit as Well as pleasure
in planting an orchard. We can confi
dently assert that no c. Ultry can excel
ours io tho variety of fruits grown suc
cessfully on our soil. To take advantage
of this great boon of nature requires only
the presentation of the subject to a re
flecting aud intelligent man, and be will
always bo ready to avail himself of these
prodigal gifts ot tbe great Creator.
The season this year was ten days
later than last year.
Is strawberries Dr. Hipe specially com
mended the Wilson variety,which was
with him a favorite. The blight was still
among tbo pears, but he believed it
would gradually grow less,
No report was received from tho 7th,
8th and 9th districts.
Motion wag made that tha order of
bnsim-ss bo suspended for tbe iatroduc-
iliROfa resolution amending the coast!
tutionsous to coniolidate tbe offees of
Secretary and Treasurer.
Mr. Grier, of Griawoldville. oppos'd
the consolidation of the two • fliers."
Mr. Berckmans explained the object of
tae change was to facilitate the business
of the Society. The order of busines,
was susp-nded, and after a few remarks,
the resolution wis unanimous y adopted,
and tho duties of both offices will be dis
charged by the same officer in future.
Mr. Newman moved that tho members
of the Oommiltee on thr Shipping au i
Packing of Fruit, be reduced from five to
,i n. ■.
Dr. Hape, of Atlanta, stated that with
the same amount of propriety that alt the
other committees might be reduced
one, and he was opposed to the proposed
reduction.
Mr. Bercbmar.s made a few remarks.
Dr. Hape only wanted the committees
to do tbi ir duty.
Mr. Newmsn thought that the duties of
the committees wo^ld be better per
formed by reducing it to one.
Mr. Beiokiuans made a few saggesticn

Mr. S. T. Jenkins submitted a few re
marks m refcrscoe to ths making of a

marks in regard to transportation.
The motiuu to redasa the namber of

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Toe session was called to order at three
clock.

University, read a complete,
learned and exhaustive report on the' turalists of the State.
hind. The first crop was killed and the
viors in some instances injured. This
trad been a disastrous year, but he hoped
for a tetter time next year, when tbe
trees and vines from a year’s rest, should
give a better yield than ever.
Dr. Hape pr srnted a short essay on
strawberries. He spoke of their excellence
and ea-e of .their cultivation. Any well
drained soil that will produce corn or cot
ton mil produce strawberries, and bnt
little preparation is necessary. Good
pi: wing with stable manure or muck in a
moiA ground isb-st, bnt so great a range
is allowed that even all of these
requirements are not necessary.
Break up the land ; lay eff the r jus lire
feet spirt, and set out tbe plants an iLCb
and a half bslow the surrounding
ground. Tho plant raises itself oat cf
the ground and is exposed too much to
the hea- of the sua if this is not done.
The Ellipse, Bussell’s Advance and
Wilson’a Alpany. were highly spoken of.
In reasons s to questions, Dr. Hapo
said that ho usually eet the plants in the
fatly falL By keeping down the early
blooms and catting the runners, tho sea
son would be prolonged. As to irri
gation, he Eaid that he had r.ot in
vestigated, bat would btfore tho next
session.
Mr. John M, Stubb3 reported from tho
sixth district that frait eutturo was receiv
ing more attent on than ever. Many large
orchards have been set out, and the ma
jority of c, <• s tne stlection of trees have
b.-eo lnjui ioious.
Ths pears orop is almcst a universal
failure in tbe sixth district on aoconnt of
he frosts in April. Anples would make
an average crop. Plums were scarce.
Pears from the blight of U‘t and this
year and frostJ, aro very limited in th: ir
yield. Strawberries ware abundant unt

variety, sotua attaint jg one nnd a ha
inches in, diameter.
Mr. A. T. Holt stated that ha had his
strawberries uUnted oa au island be
twe. n two ponds ani the vines had been
very luxuriant, but the yield was not veiy
good. Toe water was but eight inches
below the level of ths strawberry beds.
Dr. Hapo had found mulching of the
plants, that is, the covering them with
straw during tne winter, advantageous,
Mr. A. T. Holt had tried mulching, bnt
found no advantage.
Colonel Stu'ob3 bad tried both
plans and fourd that mulching
produced the ino3t abundant yield,
bat the firEt berries were produced by
cultivation.
Mr. Grier—I had ss good stand cf
bsrritB as anyone but Mr. Newman
killed them by telling mo to salt them,
put salt oa the beda and tvery one was
killed. [Laughter]
Oa motion of Mr. Newman the por-
tiou of the catalogue on strawberries was
taken np.
Tno variety, Agriculturalist, was
stricken from the catalogue.
Nunan’a was decided the best berry
for the coast; stands a great deal aud a
good deal of neglect; not a good berry,
but picks easy; regular in size and good
for immediate use; Bhipa pretty well in
refrigerator cars.
On motion, the committee on transpor
r ation was called on for a report. Mr. S.
T. Jenkins reported that cheap rates and
mproved facilities depended upon in
creased product ion. Tnsc but for the
short orop, a p ration of the wishes of
members would haue been realized. By
tbe next season there would be a new out
let io Cincinnati, and competition would
bring the desired results. Mr. Jenkins
explained the present difficulties in the
way, and said that during the present
season shipments could be made from 8a.
vannah per steamer twice a week at one
dollar per hundred. That shipments of
fruit had been foond tn be cheaper by the
car load, bat that such shipments had
been discontinued on account of the Want
ot fruit.
Mr. Grier, of the committee on pack
ing and shipping, was granted further
time to make us hie repo:*.
A letter from Mr. Cole, of Atlanta, was
read, stating that he would turn over to
the members of tho first horticnltur.il
society, of whioh he wss treasurer, or to
au; one whom they should direo:, any
money paid by them to him.
THE PUBLIC INVITED.
President Beicsmscs stated that he
wanted the publio to Know that the ex
hibition wa< free of charge, aud that all
were invited to come in and inspeot lhe
display and listen to the piocseumgs.
Dr. Hipe moved that a committee bo
appointed to report on the utilization of
grapes in wine-making at the next meet!
ing.
Mr. Stanraaw-ki made a few remarks
on wiae making, giving his process.
Mr. Grier stated that domestic wine
brought very low prices. Ha said farther
that ho hnd never found any one who
eonld tell him how to mako wine. He
never made any good wine but once and
then he made it by accident.
Mr. Hape amended his motion that a
discnssioa of the snbjeot take place on
the next day of tbo meeting, and this was
amended by Mr. Newman, thit 12 o’clock
bo fixed as the hour. Carried.

ubject of tbe insects injurious to tbe cab
bage, the squash and the tomato, with
their remidles. The report wss received
with much satisfaction by tae body, it
being complimented on ali tides. We re
gret our spice will not admit of its publi
cation this morning. A general discos
sion followed.
Dr. Jones—The leaves of the ailanthua
tree among cabbages will drivj the cab-
batre bng away. I have made two exper-
nta with 6UCC03?.
Mr. Lamsdeo—The Indian* used Je
rusalem oak to keep bugs out of hides,
but I have used it on cabbages, without
success.
Mr. Grier inquired if any one had ever
heard of as mijy cutworms as tha year.
Professor Wiilet—They are very prtv
alent over the State, I understand.
Mr. Sanders—The cut-worm, I have
found, can bo gotten rid of by frequent
turning up ol tho 6oiL My impression
was that in Southern soil tbo cat-worm
did not winter very deep. That he hol
lows out the soil and has no great weight
of earth over him. I broke my 60il up
three times in the winter and was re
lieved of these worms. A. neighbor of
mine tried it with like success.
Mr. S:ubb£—The q-j of applied
to tbe land in the fall, and the turning
au of :he 6oil, will destroy them.
We earnestly urge our people to turn
ont and see tbi3 pplendid display of Geor
gia products. The exhibition is not only

invited to come up aud inspect it. We
hope our people will 6how their apprecia
tion of the Society, which is working
