CuurclnII, thu week, in his com munication on orchards, objtcted to graftn g or budding plums ami prunes on the peach, as wu advocate, because it is unnatural, and si)s the peach is suited to soils where the others will u it thrive " Facts are stubborn things," and the fact is that plums and prunes do succeed well on the peach. We have beautiful trees, that already commence to be ir, four years old, that are as Hue as any tieos that ever grew. He objects to planting in dead furrow, lug! er than trees stood in the nursery, but that we haid tried, and plowid towards tlicm, to realize as good suteesg as any one could p iibly expect. He sa)s that to do any good tho trees must tluow out roots from the plum stock, above the graft, but planting high we bud prevents this. As to soils, the red hills will glow both peach and plum, an I our ex peuence la backed up by that of persons who have tries twenty )ar old of plum grafts on peach stock. While Mr. Churchill's theory seems good, facts are against him. bo far us we can judge, there is no lack of )ield on such trees, they are perfectly healthy and hardy, and the fail ure to throw up sprouts all over the orchard is a great advantage. It makes our back ache now, to think of the sprouts that need to be taken up from among a thousand plum and prune trees we have that were grafts on plum stock. Ouit readeis will observe that quite a num ber of the names in our delinquent list have Lcen dropped out. Wo are pleased to say that a number have promptly paid.
