Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches cyclopediaofamer04bail4 Year: 1900 UTAH UTRICULARIA 1887 facilities and the increase of truit plantations, the standaril insect enemies have one after another entered the borders of the state. But, on the other hand, in the matter of fungous diseases the state is singularly fortu- nate, there being in most sections comparatively little trouble from them. Doubtless the dry atmosphere of Utah is responsible for this. It seems probable that the state will never enjoy a large local market, though the mining industry will in- sxire a fair one, but its mountain climate seems to give a superior quality to the fruit grown and with the more general adoption of better methods there is no reason why fruit-growing in Utah should not take its place as one of the chief branches of the agriculture of the state. F. C. Sears. Another View ol Utali.— In Cache valley, apples, pears, American plums and sour cherries do exceedingly well. Peaches are grown there in a small way. The temperature in winter is often lower than 20° below zero, and that, together with late frosts, is the reason of the failure of the peach crop. In 1899-1900 the lowest temperature was 10° below zero, and the following win- ter the lowest temperature was about 2° below zero, and each of these winters was followed by a full crop of peaches. In the valley next south of Cache valley, peaches and apricots are grown very successfully at Brigham Citj'. At Ogden there are a few of the European grapes, but they are protected during the winter by being laid down and covered wnth earth. Even with tliis protection the vines are badly damaged by freezing, as is indicated
