Mildew Oh The Vine

A scientific gardener declares, in the Cottage Gardener, that wherever he has seen the mildew prevail most in hothouses, it has been where great numbers of plants were grown in the same house. The moisture arising from the necessary waterings caused the mildew to spread rapidly. Few plants in the vinery, and a free circulation of air - especially in the morning - to carry off the damps, are highly important.

Mildew On Grapes

At the time we write this, July 10th, we have just returned from visiting several vineyards of Isabella and Catawba grapes, and have found considerable mildew. The growth of vines up to this time has been almost unprecedented, and while we have no desire to croak, we think grape-growers must watch carefully and use preventives or remedies freely, or otherwise be prepared for more disease of the vine than is usual.

Mildew On Peas

The London Gar-dener't Magazine says that peas can be grown free from mildew even in the hot dry weather of summer, provided trenches be made two feet deep, then a layer of manure, filled up and sown.

Mildew On Rome

Carbolic soap and water is recommended to destroy mildew on roses, to be applied by sprinkling.

Miller's Daily Bearing Raspberry

MENTIONED in Western Department of Horticulturist, for January, p. 21, has been repeatedly exhibited at fairs and horticultural meetings in this State, and noticed in our reports during the past three or four years. It originated on the grounds of a Mr. Miller, of Clinton county, 0., from seed of the old "Ohio Everbearing," an autumn or twice-bearing variety of the Black Cap, and was thought to be a decided improvement on that variety. "Griggs' Daily Bearing" is the name of another and older seedling of the same parentage, and very closely resembling Miller's. Neither of them has been found of sufficient value to deserve commendation.

Miller's Daily Raspberry

LAST spring a year, we received from W. B. Lipsey, of Marion, Ind., a half dozen raspberry plants labelled as above. It belongs to the Black Cap family, made a good growth the first season, and produced a liberal crop the second for yearling plants. He found the fruit quite as large as Mammoth Cluster, and of higher quality than the Mammoth or Doolittle. Not having received anything from Mr. Lipsey, concerning it, or any allusion to it from any other quarter, we have asked Mr. Lipsey what he knows about it, and he replies:

"Two years ago last May (1870), I received a few plants from an old friend in in Southern Ohio, by the name of Isaac Miller, who informed me that he found the original plant growing wild by the side of an old stump in one of his fields, and from which he made a start. With me it gives better satisfaction than any other variety out of a dozen or more on my grounds. It is as hardy as Doolittle or any other variety."
