not wish to be outdone by any other othe people in anything c that is good they have already availed th themselves them em notwithstanding the numerous obstacles to surmount in doing so of many of the improvements of the day large sums of money are annually appropriated for such objects to which when judiciously expended we nye have not th the slightest objection we are of opinion that no people on the earth are more worthy than this of the best of everything that exists that is pleasant to see or hear smell or taste of everything 0 that enters the mouth or covers the back or is place dunder the foot of the sums forwarded from this point however we have been informed that no small amou abou amount n bis is never again heard from doubtless the humbug hum thum bug has his some agency in the matter it ia a high time that thal farmers alia arid others ordering 0 anything t from abroad should do their business through some safe reliable channel relative to fancy varieties of fruit we have not the least doubt in our own mind that with the requisite amount of attention and ingenuity the vegetable kingdom could here in utah be made to exhibit exhibit as many freaks and produce as many and as wonderful varieties as elsewhere and probably more fromn fronk the fact that we have the watery element more at our command than our eastern co temporaries who depend wholly upon the heavens for rain to 0 o moisten their lands the best imported stock when carelessly turned out to shift for themselves all the systematic treatment and watchful training by ly which they were brought to their advanced stage of development being discarded in a series of years will lose their superiority and dwindle to the standard of the common breeds so also with these newspaper famed species and varieties of fruits and vegetables As god hath bath madeoy one flesh all men that dwell upon the face of the earth so also doubtless each different plant or species specie of the vegetable kingdom kindom kin r dom now embracing almost n numberless um berless va varieties ri aties originated from one type difference of locality and cultivation have developed in the same plant various ties such as larger or smaller growth nicher richer flavor etc wherever a plant grows in the greatest per faction fec tion that locality may be said to be best adapted to it or what is the same in effle effect ct the plant is most suitable to that locality the same is true also of fruit trees it cannot be denied however that imported varieties both of vegetable and fruit growing species have succeeded well in other than their native localities similarity of climate congenial t soil and superior culture have frequently produced hiner finer qualities in exotic arit or imported plants than they possessed when growing in their native countries fruits and vegetal vegetables ies les have been taken from where they h have ave been found growing in a wild indigenous state and by the experienced propagator essentially improved and tendered ien len dered valuable acquisitions to the collections of a foreign country I 1 during the past ten or fifteen years large accessions of choice varieties have been introduced into the united states many of which although hitherto unknown here have proved to be well adapted to our soil and climate enterprises E such as these we are confident cannot be too highly appreciated and are eminently worthy of the patronage of a great and prosperous government the united states propagating gardens near washington D C afford us proof of what science skill and capital can do towards acclimating and improving rare exotic plants to all such enterprises we bid good speed nor would we by any act or word of ours for one moment dampen the ardor of the amateur who is putting forth his energies to secure for himself a collection of af the choicest fruits and vegetables ve 7 that can be found whether he obtains them in the united states great britain china or on the sea island islands sif jf when he has done his uttermost he will not like alexander the great sit down and wee weep P because he cannot procure plants from the moon or some other neighboring planet the charin charm of novelty that among us is is thrown about almost anything that is of an imported ported character we would fain in some degree dispel we want it understood that improvement or the promotion of a high order in the ve vegetable a eatable kin kiv kindom kingdom 0 dom is only attainable by a corresponding degree of skill and culture skill is the legitimate offspring c of experience experience can only be gained by personal observation and application tiie tile the native or se seedling edlin ediin plant substantially improved by home skill would in our judgment be more valuable than the forced fancy varieties of a distant locality whose climate and soil was different from ours for it must be evident that unless the same or a somewhat similar mode of culture stimulating and genera general treatment be awarded it in its new home to that by which it was endowed with its present notable qualities the imported I 1 fancy will gradually lose its distinguishing properties and become like other plants of the same species there ar are in anny fly rare and andain valuable able abie kinds of fruit and ornamental trees shrubs plants and vegetables enthat that have not as yet been introduced here and which so far a as practicable we feel desirous to see growing in the gardens lawns and fields of our mountain moin tain vales As to those that have now among us so far as they have proved to be good we believe that labor a bor a and nd skill are the only requisites to I 1 the production of as fine fruit in their varied species as can be found elsewhere for example we may refer to ling strawberry than which probably a finer var variety clety has not been as yet angwill and will not soon be introduced here among our seedling apples also may be found vari ties by no means inferior to some of the best imported while of those dhosi imported some prove to be superior to the same variety I 1 in i n the states and others far inferior altogether unsuited to this region and not worthy of cultivation here the ile true course coarse under these circumstances plainly is to direct our energies to the most approved culture of those varieties that we know to be good there are many new varieties of peas already introduced into our territory and other varieties are from time to time making their appearance some oe of the new kinds have proved to be comparatively worthless others have been found tobe to be possessed of superior qualities and well adapted to this locality concerning the relative merits of two new early varieties in comparison with the well known early june we here present our readers with a short sketch from the pen of mr E sayers the result of some experiments conducted by him last season it will be seen that though be he recommends the two new varieties rie ties tips namely the dan and the washington peas yet they are not so early as the old june pea in order to test the different merits of these three varieties of peas I 1 planted the seed on the same kind of ground about the same time th 9 hrat first week art in april tji they vy were c culum witt v A abed ted in the same manner being planted in insi single rows about two feet apart 7 the result is that the early june proves to be the earliest pea coming into use a few days before the dan and eight or ten days before the washington the june pea has retained all its good qualities as an early pea for more than ten years and its adaptation to this climate renders it doubtful whether any new variety will surpass it the seed of the dan pea I 1 imported from the states four years ago and circumstances prevented me from planting it until the present season consequently the seed did not germinate freely but from the appearance of the crop it bids fair to be a good early pea well worth cultivation it is a dwarf variety the vine about the same len ien length lenth th as the early june single blossom small pods well filled with peas and is a variety of the early charlton and upon further trial will probably prove a good acquisition to the list of early pea peas adapted to the valley the washington pea has been cultivated for several years in the states for an early variety and was forwarded tome two years ago from washington through the politeness of the hon J JM al bernhisel this pea belongs belon ia t to the same class as the dan but is is a later pea by about a week or ten days the vines are more robust and appear ta to be hardy bearing excellent crops of pods larger than the june or dan well filled with peas this pea will most likely prove a good acquisition to succeed the other early varieties and serve to fill up the vacancy between them and the late varieties which is much needed in oun our pea list the objections above stated to the incessant and unnecessary induction of monstrous and fancy varieties by processes conflicting with the true order of nature are not the only or greatest ones that might t be opposed to the system for as will be readily understood the mean forcing adopted act upon the plant as dorich highly seasoned food and viands upon the human system overcharging over charging it with animal life requiring too great exercise of the functions of nature in consequence of which the organs become inflamed the body diseased weakened and finally prostrated the plant upon being treated with those composts composes com posts calculated to promote a mammoth growth and incite development the of qualities unnatural to it soon loses its natural force becomes deteriorated diseased and worthless loud complaints of devastation by insects are continually reaching our ears from all quarters of the eastern states the ile fact is is |
