This region of country is quite new as yet in respect to fruit culture; but from what is written us by Dr. M. A. Harding and others, we have no doubt of its proving a valuable and profitable fruit-growing section. Dr. Harding writes that "The blush of fruit is deeper here than commonly found in St. Louis County, Mo., and the skin thicker." Why, this latter is beyond our conception! Our correspondent considers this thick skin, or rind as he terms it, a feature of value to them, in that the fruit is less liable to bruise; may be transported longer distances successfully and profitably; and as thus being less liable to decay, gives orchardists, in that section of country, advantages which fully compensate for their distance from that of the consumers of the fruit. Our correspondent accounts for this perfection - thick skin, etc. - of their fruits upon the fact that they have in that climate a dryness of atmosphere greater than any other of the States. Of this we know nothing ourself; but have only to say that if such is the fact, we imagine Vernon County, Mo., will prove one of the best grape-growing counties in the States.
