McArdle, who has a large peach orchard in the vicin- ity of St. Catharines, writes us as follows, concerning our plate of the Crosby peach- He says : " 1 notice that one of your correspondents has taken exception to the plate of the Crosby peach. I myself think it is overdrawn ; but I got some of them as samples from Mr. W. D. Hines, Townsend, Mass., this season, which were larger than those mentioned by your correspondent, though not so large as Crawford. They were a very attractive peach in color, and, if they are as ihey are claimed to be, the variety is a valuable one. F.^RMERs' Institute Work.—We notice in the reports of the Sheep Breeders' and Swine Breeders' Association, that it is considered somewhat of a grievance that they have not a special representative speaking at Farmers , as well as the Fruit Growers' Association. Certainly, we. as fruit growers, have no idea of standing in the way of our brethren in other occupa- tions. If farmers can do better raising swine and sheep than fruit, we have no object in persuading them to engage in fruit growing. Indeed, it would be rather in the personal interest of the fruit growers to lessen, rather than extend, the acreage of land devoted to fruit in our province ; because, in this way, there would be less competition in our markets for the sale of our fruit.
