EXPERT HORTICULTURISTS.
It if a common remark, says Rural JJviiie, that the expert horticulturist will make the most money in those seasons when there are most obstacles to be overcome, for then, while the oi'dinary cultivator will succumb to the obstacles, making horticultural pioducts scarce and high, the expert will overcome the ob«tacles and command high prices for his products. He will watch the weather in winter, and if the winter proves unusually severe, will increase the protection. He will be om the watch all ihe time for destructive in c oet.-, and employ means lo limit or diminish their effects. If severe drought endues he will do all it is possible to do to counteract its eii'ect^, eithe» - by stirring the soil frequently, or by mulching. If his trees, plants, v ines or fruits are suffering from disease, he will study its nature, learn and apply the remedies. There is a wild Hold foremploymentof first-rate talent in fruit and vegetables for market.
