CORRESPONDENCE.

U the Editor •ftht Cslonitt.

. Bm,—Kindly allow mi space to earreota few wrong coneluiions that " Mr~ J. N. Grigor " (in your issue of the 2nd) appcari to hare arrived at respecting me aud my land. In the first place it will surprise Mr Grigor to learn that up to the present season I.have been a most successful fruit grower—both in quantity, quality, and variety of fruit; that my orchard, which is about six acres ia extant, is what Mr Grigor recommends, a good loam varying in depth,from many feet to perhaps not many inches, ai it generally to be met within our alluvial deposits; and further, that I have not a bit of yellow clay upon my' property. Mr Grigor stated in the article first commented upon by ma that a certain soil was necessary for orchards. Now, knowing that with most farmers the soil of the orchard is Hobson's choice, I wrote to show tb at orchards had succeeded on other kinds of soil, and quoted to that effect. Truly facts are stubborn things. Some of my facts appear to have disturbed Mr Grigor. Well, I am not thin-Bkinned, and can but smile at the very lively manner Mr Grigor write*. Yours, (to,, Taouiir. Aprils.
