CHAPTER XVI.
APICULTURE -- PEACH CULTURE.
Keeping and Propagation of Bees. Process of removing Honey, without destroying Bees. Principal Bee Raisers in the County. Peach Trees. Propagation of Trees. List of desirable varie- ties.
THE keeping and propagation of Bees in the County is assuming considerable importance. It requires but small capi- tal and a very limited amount of muscular labor, while attended with little or no risk.
Bee keeping has become a science, and those who patiently learn their ways, have no fear of being stung. Neither are whole swarms of these industrious little creatures destroyed in order to secure their treasures of sweetness. On the contrary, they have really become pets of those who take a loving care of them.
To such perfection has the art of raising honey been brought, that, not a bee is sacrificed in taking away the honey, while the comb is even saved.
By a new and very ingenious little machine, the fresh combs when taken from the hives are deftly unsealed, and the honey extracted from the comb on the principle of suction by air, and the comb perfectly uninjured is returned to the hive to be filled again in a few days by the same bees. This honey is the purest known on the market, and is put up in sealed glasses, and is every day becoming a more staple article of food.
The feeding and keeping of bees is very easily learned, and is said by those engaged in it to be a most delightful employ- ment. Two hundred and fifty dollars will stock a yard of bees, that with proper care will yield yearly one thousand dollars.
Mahlon T. Lewis, of Clarksburg, and Capt. F. P. Meigs, of Boyd's Station, are extensively engaged in their propagation.
Capt. Meigs purchased a handsome site at "Boyd's," and erected a magnificent residence, which was completed in 1879. The design is very attractive, embracing both the French,
113
HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
English and Swiss styles of architecture, including the English basement, surmounted by a Swiss cottage roof with dormer windows; the building being heated by hot air, and illuminated by electricity. The grounds are beautifully laid out in the style of landscape gardening, containing all the varieties of fruits, including a vineyard, apiary and aviary.
Owing to the destruction of Peach trees by insects on the Peninsula, the Peach like the Tobacco Plant, must continu- ally seek new land, since soil that has been planted in Peach trees, cannot be successfully replanted until it has been allowed a rest of many years. This will eventuate in the transfer from the Eastern Shore of the Peach culture, to the uplands of Montgomery, Frederick and Washington Counties.
The following extract from an article written expressly for the "Baltimore Sun," by Col. T. H. S. Boyd, describing the cul- ture of the Peach and the propagating the scions, by the system of hybridizing, and a description of the popular varieties now in use, will be of interest.
"In the culture of the Peach the most approved method of propagating the 'scions' or young trees for the peach orchard is to procure the seed of the natural peach, as trees reared from it are better able to withstand the rigors of a hard winter, and and are much less liable to those diseases which, despite the best efforts of the grower, are always incidental to the system of 'hybridizing.' The seed are bedded in the early autunm, about six or eight inches below the surface of the ground, in a position exposed to the sun, so that by alternate freezing and thawing the hard resinous substance that holds the walls of the pit together, becomes softened and the kernel is easily ex- traeted .- About the first of April, these kernels are planted in the nursery, about six inches apart, in rows four feet wide.
"As soon as the seions shoot about six inches above the ground, they are cultivated with hoe and harrow, after the same fashion as corn. In June, the largest and most thrifty scions are budded for transplanting from the nursery to the orchard in the fall. The others are budded in September for trans- planting in the spring. They are usually budded on the north side of the tree, in order to prevent the bud being killed by the heat of the sun. The bud is inserted into the scion by crucially incising the bark of the stock a few inches above the ground,
114
HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
turning back the corners of the bark, and setting into the aperture thus formed between the sap and the bark a bud selected from a healthy tree, of that variety of peach which it is desired to propagate.
. "This bud is secured in its place by turning back the bark and binding the incised parts with a tie of the inner bark of the basswood or a piece of common candlewick. In a week or ten days the nurseryman is able to determine what buds have become set or 'taken' and are incorporated with the stock. The binding is then removed and the scion thoroughly trimmed below where the bud has been set.
"The scion is again trimmed in the spring, both above and below the bud, and about the first of June, the top is ent off at an angle of 45 degrees about an inch above the bud, which has now become the largest branch of the scion. During the sum- mer it is kept cultivated and trimmed, and is ready for trans- planting to the orchard, the bud having united with the scion and the place where the scion was cut off no longer being noticeable.
"The orchard is now plowed, harrowed and fertilized, and crossed out for the young trees, which are usually placed six- teen feet apart in the rows, running east and west, and twenty- four feet apart in the rows running north and south.
" After the trees are planted they are well cultivated by plow- ing and harrowing, the furrows being thrown towards the roots of the trees, the operation being repeated every fortnight from April to August. The trees are carefully trimmed, and kept clear of broken twigs and branches, and as they advance in age are 'headed in' as it is termed, by lopping the large branches when new shoots form.
"The trees bear in the fourth year. A first-rate orchard, well cultivated, will yield a profit of about $100 an acre, if the fruit is handled judiciously.
"Out of the hundred or so varieties cultivated in the United States some nineteen or twenty are favored here. They are given below in the order of their ripening for market:
"1. The Beatrice, an ordinary and poorly flavored peach, only valued for its early maturity, starts the market about the mid- dle of July.
"2. Hale's Early, a once quite popular peach, ripens about July 25tlı.
115
HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
"3. Hollis' Early, a small peach, ripening about August 1st, and valued for its capacity for transportation.
"4. Walters' Early, or Mountain Rose, earliest of all varieties of red peach, beautiful in color and delicious in flavor, matures about August 5th.
"5. Early York, superseded almost entirely by former, ripens about August 7th.
"6. Crawford's Early, color a rich yellow with deep blush, regarded by many as the finest of all peaches, matures about August 10th.
"7. Mary's Choice, August 15th.
"8, 9, 10 and 11. The Druid Hill, Harkins' Seedling, Old Mixon Free, and Stump the World, all ripen about the same time, August 17th or 18th. The Mixon was once regarded as the finest of all freestone peaches, and a standard of peach valnes.
"12. Crawford's Late, a rich yellow, the best of all canning peaches, except the late Heath Cling; matures about August 20thı.
"13. Jaques, is a yellow, very large and delicious peach, ripening about the same time, as do also,
"14 and 15. The Momnouth Melacaton and Susquehanna or Griffith, both large, rich, yellow fruit.
"16. The Magnum Bonum follows.
" 17. The Late Heath Cling-stone, the most deliciously flavored of all the varieties, matures about September 12th. They are very abundant, and are all consumed for canning and preserving.
"18. Bear's Smock, is about the latest peach as yet success- fully cultivated in this region; but there is,
"19. Solway's Late, which promises to do well.
"When this last variety is harvested the peach season is ended, but the fruit growers are endeavoring to obtain other varieties to extend the season still further. There are several new varieties which give promise of success in this direction, notably Fisher's Favorite, Cameron's Late Yellow, and Levy's Yellow Cling, all remarkably fine fruit, and, should they thrive, the peach season will no doubt be protracted till the middle or last of October, about a month longer than heretofore. So if the Andrews' and Alexander Early are also successful, the season will be very notably extended."

THE WASHINGTON GROVE CAMP GROUND.
Incorporators. Objects. Location. Present and Past Officers. Cottages. Tents. Owners.
THE WASHINGTON GROVE CAMP MEETING ASSOCIATION of the District of Columbia and Maryland, was chartered March 30th, 1874, by the State Legislature, with F. Howard, Wm. R. Woodward, J. T. Mitchell, B. H. Stinemetz, Th. Somerville, J. W. Wade, M. G. Emery, Alex. Ashley, R. H. Willett, W. M. Talbot, J. G. Warfield, E. F. Simpson, J. A. Ruff, Th. H. Langley, W. R. Hunt, Th. P. Morgan, Hy. T. Whalen, G. Th. Woodward, J. R. Riggles, W. H. Griffith, John Lanahan, G. G. Baker, B. Peyton Brown, T. H. Davis and J. Hy. Wilson, as incorporators.
It is a stock association, with the capital stock fixed at $20,000, divided into 1000 shares at $20 per share. One share entitles the owner to the privilege of a tent site, and five shares to a cottage site.
The land is held by a Board of Trustees, and its business is managed by an Executive Committee, who are elected annually.
Its general purposes are for holding Camp Meetings and building up summer homes for a select community.
Two surveys have been made, one for the tenting and the other for the cottage department; in the latter, the lots are 50 x 150 feet.
The tract consists of 268 acres, well wooded in white oak and chestnut timber, supplied with an abundance of the finest water in springs and wells, and some of it possessed of decided medici- nal properties. It is considered as healthy a location as any in the State.
It is located on what is known as Parr's Ridge, a high point, over 600 feet above tide level, and on the line of the Metro-

politan Railroad, 20} miles from Washington, and in a north-east direction from Gaithersburg. The railroad passes through the edge of the tract, and a broad and shaded avenue leads direct from the railroad station to the camping grounds.
The first camp was held August 13th, 1873, and six camps have been held since to August, 1879. All the meetings were largely attended and satisfactory in results, more than four hun- dred and sixty-four persons having been converted at the different meetings.
The officers have been-
Dr. Flodoardo Howard. President.
W. R. Woodward Vice-President.
F .. F. Simpson Secretary.
J. A. Ruff
Treasurer.
.
The present officers are-
THOS. P. MORGAN President.
W. R. WOODWARD. Vice-President.
E. F. SIMPSON .
Secretary.
B. H. STINEMETZ
Treasurer.
Rev. B. Peyton Brown, the present Presiding Elder of the Washington District, has been and is one of the leading spirits in this enterprise.
The Camping Grounds are laid out in an irregular seven sided "Circle," a plaza, from which as many avenues radiate, and all of these look direct into the plaza-which is 216 feet wide from North to South, and 179 feet from West to East. In the centre is a Tabernacle 48x70 feet, and the Camp is pro- vided with a dining court and other necessary structures.
Attention having been attracted to the Cottage Tent, as a desirable form for camp purposes, a number have been built, mostly on the plaza-and are named in the order of their loca- tion. Rev. W. Burris, Thos. P. Morgan, E. F. Simpson, Alfred Wood, J. W. St. Clair, Henry C. Craig, Jr., L. W. Worthing- ton, J. W. Wade, Thos. Somerville, Geo. E. Hall, John Ireland, (of Annapolis,) H. W.

County; on Sixth Avenue, a Preachers' Lodge, and on Second Avenue extended a Keeper's house.
Messrs. Willett & Morgan were the pioneers in cottage build- ing.
On First Avenue, Mr. Wash. B. Williams has a commodious furniture store and lodging house.
Other improvements are contemplated that will make Wash- ington Grove a most desirable and attractive spot.
The organization is under the control of the Methodist Episcopal Church, but persons of all denominations unite with them, and are heartily welcome.

CLARKSBURG.
This picturesque village is located on the Washington and Frederick Turnpike, fifteen miles from Frederick, thirty miles from Washington, and four and one-half miles from Boyd's Station. The land in and around Clarksburg was originally granted to Henry Griffith in 1761, and known as the "Cow Pasture." The first house built in the village was by John G. Clark, whose daughter married William Wilson, the father of Leonidas Wilson, the present owner, who, for a long time, successfully conducted the business of merchandising. It is now occupied by Lewis & Williams. In the garden of Mr. Scholl, at the east end of the village, was first discovered the celebrated Catawba Grape, which has since gained such a world renowned reputation. It is now owned by the Hon. George W. Hilton, and is annually visited by numbers of Pomologists and curiosity seekers. Great improvement has been made in the land during the past few years by the aid of lime and fertilizers, and can be purchased from ten to sixty dollars per acre. Produces 20 to 30 bushels of Wheat, 30 to 50 of Corn, 35 of Oats, 100 of Potatoes, 1200 to 1500 pounds of Tobacco, and two tons of Hay per acre. Two Churches, both Methodist Episcopal.
