PLUMS. '
From the testimony of men coming
from various parte of Outario, it was
definitely shown that interest ire thie
very tempting class wee dying out.
The ravages of the black knot over
the western section especially, and the
trying nature of the recent winters
has completely discouraged growers.
There was but one variety that rteeiv-
ed much commendation, and that was
the pure Green Gage. The Lombards
were too lately to overbear. No rem-
edy beyond replanting was suggested
for the black' knot.

very little of an encouraging nature.

CABBAGE PESTS. •
The question box was foiled to con-
tain queries altogether relating to the
insects preying upon the cabbage and
onion. The cab' age fiy was a serious
pest to combat, which an emulsion of
coal oil around the plants or pyreth-
rum was recommended, and hot water
was said to be en excellent preven-
tive of thebutterfly, providing the
temperature did not excel d 1600 Fahr.

LOWERING SHRUBS.
An • interesting discussion took
place on flowering shrubs, which are
tieing onitivated in all parts of the
Province. The Hydrangga Peniculata
was described as among the most
handsome that succeeded in Canada.
In the Spireas the Van Heutts and
Preinafolia were recoinmended.

members were advised to set out the

a handsome flowering shrub. T

The question ot transplanting ever-
greens received considerable attentio
and from the experiences related it
would seem that the spring, just when
the buds begin to swell, is the best
time for making the removal. Tho
'chief precaution to be observed is in
seeing that the roots do not become
dried by the wind, which shuts off any
chances of the tree living.
ORCHARD CULTIVATION.
In the matter of orchard cultivation
only one new point came out, are
that related to root pruning. The
merit of this plan lies in the fact that
roots that are iut off send out in-
creased numbers of fibrous feeders
tepcleeeeyee 4.1,ucb,,, to 'dim al at e
fruit growth.• The mode of doing it
is siinple. A trench is dug about the
tree, rind a sharp spade used to sever
the roots. ..One prominent grower
said he had by this means brought
trees in bearing iu four years which
under ordinary circumstances, require
fifteen. He had also grown fine sp
miens of apples from a Hawthornden
tree only twelve inches high. The
time of year.to do this pruning is in
the latter part of September or the
beginning of October.
CELERY.
• Celery growing was brought up for
discussion, but nothing new was elicit-
ed beyond some interesting accounts
of winter protection. The out door
• plant seemed in favor. A trench is
dug ir. the garden and the celery
stood in it with sawdust about it
high as the tips of the foliage. Over
this straw is thrown and the show pro-
vides all the additional covering
needed. 111 this district, with its
heavy snow falls, but little trouble
