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.
