Virc.STtOS B—A correspondent has
Bent ut the following notice with cut,
describing a very handsome cherry and
asking information about it. As we
wore not familiar with the cherry, we
sent the inquiry to Mr. 1 torch mans,
president of the Georgia Horticultural
to'iety. HU reply is also appended.
Here is the description of the cherry:
A ntUIT BONBON.
Avery luscious cherry has been
treating quite a sensation on the
fruit stands this season. This is so
firm, large aud tiiat it has often
becu mistaken for a plum. It has been
well named tho bonbon cherry.
A popular grower Vcently said of it;
••Undoubtedly this is the most valuable
cherry in cultivation, owing to its enor
fnons site, rich, dark rod color, luscious
quality and freedom fraui the cherry
worm. It is a sure oropper every year,
and is always of extraordinary flavor.”
Its cooxing qualities do not seem to
have been thoroughly tested, as tho va
riety is somewhat new ns yet to the av
crage housewife It does not seem to
be largely grown here, as it is not found
Hi quantities in the market this yoar,
but usually as a special daiaty on the
froit stands demanding a rather high
price. It will probaby be mre plnti
fui in a few years in our eastern mar
ket*. for it :s becoming more generally
known tiiat the trees will thrive and
bear abundantly in this part of the
country; and many interested growers
have planted the trees for experiment
•this year.
And here is Mr. Berckmans’reply)
Hon. R T. Nexhi t. .Jt anta, (ia:
My Dkak Bih~ D .riu; the session of
the Georgia State ilorttcaitural society ,
at Ctituberr„ 1 stated that the indis
criminate publication by the av crags
uiwspapur man of catchy Ji irticol c oral ]
art ciei was frequently detrimental to
horticultural progress. The clipping
which you enclose is only another evi
dence of what I stated, which was ia
substance that the public would be bet
ter served if that class of articles, of
which the enclosed is a sample, were
left alone.
Expert pomoiogists will endorse my
position, because a description of suoh
a wonderful cherry/has a tendency to
add to the confusion o' existing fruit
nomenclature. The name "Bonbon”
is no doubt anew local fad for a well
known variity. Some smart tree ped
dler will take advantage of this and
palm off tjTr.e quantities of trees (of
aiiy variety he oan purchase) under
this new name, at a stiff prioe aud mis
lead and disappoint purchasers.
If the correct name of this cherry
was given we would be able to know
what its value is; but all posted fruit
growers will lot tho '‘Bonbon” alone.
Horticultural subjects should be han
dled by competent authorities, of whioh
the horticultural press is the proper
representative, but which are usually
changed, by tho average penny-a-liner,
the public. ' ~
The cut of the cherry shows it to be
long the Duke or Mor-dlo type. It
may be the “May Duke,” whioh is a
popular, early sort, cultivated quite
successfully iu the eastern and western
states, and iu the upper sections of
Georgia, South Carolina aud Alabama
i have seen good crops of this variety
in Atlanta, and grown there by the
late Richard Peters.
Yours, very truiy,
P. J. Bkrckmah.
GENERAL CROP SUMMARY.
A Dry Month Hhm, With Hot W••utlie
tho Cotton—Other Crop*.
COTTON.
Onr last report was for tho month of
August, whioh was entirely too wet
for cottou, resulting in much rust and
shedding throughout the state. Har
ing the month of Soptember but little
rain has fallen in tiie state, except in
the southeast seotion. In addition to
tne dry condition of the ntuiosphere, it
has been excessively warm for tho sea
son of tlio yoar. These two conditions
combine t have enusod cotton to open
vary rapidly.'the half grown bolls open
ing prematurely, and the crop is fast
being gathered, ginned aud sold. Pauls
should bo laKeu to gather and handle
sho crop as nicely ns possible, as trash
hud dirt of any description inevitably
cause a reduction hi the price. Again,
never in pitokfiig mix cnrtv aud oleau
cotton in the sarao bale, hoping to sell
it all for tiio prtoa of tho clean cotton,
for invariably the entire halo so.ls
at dirty cotton
Tile Liverpool cotton buyors nre corn
plaining at tho way American cotton is
packed and demand an improvement
1u tiiat Hue, I think there is room
tor improvement anil I trust that onr
farmers will take pains to cover their
cotton baii-s ns neatly ns possible, hid
in ; the sides uu l ends entirely with
bugging so that less dirt may accumu
late on tho cottou aud loss cottou be
washed on account of dirt after ieieh
ing the faorories. As to the threat of
Liverpool bo.veri to impose a heavy
penalty on our farmers for poor pack
ing of cotton, that is all bosh npd non
sense. They must buy our ootton how
ever packed, but it is much to our in
terest to pack it neatly and carefully.
I must warn onr peoplo against an
other tiling. Never sell Uof thosied
from the fi st mid s >co:id pickings of
tiic crop and depend upon the soed from
the third and lust picking for plant
ing. lliia is a very serious mistake,
as very many of tho seed from
the lad picking nre imraatnre aud
11 flit, and if they germinate after
plnii'iiig, can only*' develop into weak
and a okly plants. Always reserve
voiir planting seed from the bottom or
middle crop of cottou, for they are apt
to bo plnmp, heavy and fully manured,
n:id when planted will develop into
healthy vigorous plants. The crop will
bo gathered curly this year and will not
iu mv opinion exceed if it reachoi7. -1
000,000 bales. If my estimate of the
crop is right, cotton will be selling for
higher prices iu the spring thau it is
hr - lining at presont.
"While t believe nrloos will be higher
later on, I do not a ivise holding cotton
Haoh farmer mud bo his own judge of
tliut mutter, us t ie conditions surround
mg oa':h are different.
i do. however, unite ituingly odvi e
■gainst selling cottonseed at toa
prices now offered. Every farmer in
the state knows bow valuable
they nre as a ferij lzer for corn
wheat, oats and other crisp™Tlßff(Hli<i|
simple matter of economy, they should
not be sold at present prices. Keep
vour seed to build np your compost
heaps, with whioh to onrioh your land, i
and you will be much better repaid tha i
by selliug them at present prices.
CORN.
Tho promise of the spring and sum
mer has been fulfldod, aud the lingo
corn orop or the state is safe from a. i
contingencies. Every seotioa has
a bountiful orop, with the ex
ception of small areas here and there,
wuere the rainfall was difficult. Now
that it is m de, be sure to eave it all
cure.uliy, waiting none, at the same
time feeding liberally to stock of all
kinds (hut they mar enter upon the
winter in good condition.. Commence
early to fee i the hogs you want to fat
ten and kill, remetnberiug that a bushel
of corn or other feed will make much
more fat an- flesh during the mild days
of October tnan after the weather be
oouios colder.
BoitonuM and snail cans.
The grinding of sorguum has been in
fnii blast for two woess past in Middle
and upper Georgia, aud a larger quan
tity oi syrup will be made’than is us
ual. A good mauy ore not getting the
yield they expeoted, but the acreage Is
larger and ftk the aggregate the yield
will be large. Sugar cane grinding
has not yet commenced, but the crop is
good :tnd there will be plenty of ay rap
an l sugar from that source In the lower
half of the state.
