LINNHAN BOTANIC GARDEN AND NURSERY,
PREFACE.
| The NEW PROPRIETORS of this extensive Nursery, present to its patrons, and the public
‘generally, a new and improved Catalogue. They have briefly stated on the title page, (as in their
previous Catalogue,) the principles upon which they intend to conduct the establishment ; and they
respectfully solicit that patronage which they will strive tomerit. Being one of the oldest Nurseries
in the United States, founded upwards of halfa century since, and great pains and expense having for
a long series of years been bestowed by that eminent Nurseryman and late Proprietor, WituiaMm
Prince, deceased, in procuring and cultivating every thing that was valuable, it no doubt contains at
the present time, a more extensive collection of Trees, Shrubs, Plants, etc.,.—variety as well as quantity
considered—than can be found elsewhere in the United States.
From its justly acquired celebrity for its extensive and unrivalled collection, and inasmuch also
as purchasers generally select that market which affords the greatest variety and supply, this Nursery
has always been favored with a very extensive patronage. For like reasons, with the additional
weighty one of maderate prices, the present Proprietors have reason to hope, that the patronage here-
tofore conferred upon this establishment will not only he continued by its former patrons, but afforded
by the public generally, unless they should be misled. They therefore deem it necessary to state,
that this is the identical celebrated and extensive Nursery, distinguished by the above title, and
known as “ Prince’s,” and whereon the late well known Proprietor WitLi\m Prince deceased
resided for nearly fifty years ; and comprises more ground than he owned or cultivated for upwards
of thirty years of that period, part of the premises now included in the Nursery having been subse
quently purchased by him; and that the purchase by the present proprietors included the whole of
the extensive Greenhouses which appertained to the establishment.
| We also deem it necessary to caution the public against the use by any other person of the name of
“Linnzan Botanic Garnpen” by which this Nursery has always been ezclusively distinguished ;
as itis fairly to be presumed, that a person who would attempt to mislead in that particular for the
purpose of endeavoring to avail himself of the celebrity of this well-known Nursery, and which could
not be considered otherwise than a fraud as well upon the public as upon the Proprietors, would not
hesitate to practice any other deception to subserve his interest, especiaily such as were not liable to
speedy detection. In no profession does the public require a character for strict integrity more than
in that of the Nurseryman. In most cases implicit confidence must unavoidably be placed in him ;
and that confidence may be easily and grossly abused in various ways, and especially by his know-
ingly substituting one variety of tree or plant for another which he has not, or which is more valuable,
to the great disappointment of the purchaser, after wailing years perhaps for the production of the
fruit or flower.
Since the purchase of the establishment by the present Proprietors, their exertions have been
unremitted, and they have spared no expense to improve the premises; and those who have been
long familiarly acquainted with them, pronounce the whole establishment to be at present in higher
order and condition than at any former period. They have also added to the stock many new and
valuable varieties ; and they will hereafter use every exertion to. maintain the pre-eminence of this
Nursery over any similar establisnment in the United States, by continual additions of such new and
superior varieties, both in the fruit and ornamental departments, as may be really desirable ; and of
which they now have under cultivation a very considerable number not specified in the present
Catalogue.
| So far from imitating the practice of issuing voluminoue Catalogues for the purpose of making a
show of an immensely extensive establishment, a considerable portion of the contents of which
Catalogues would be worthless if possessed, and a very large portion of which could be found in the
Catalogue only of the person issuing it, mere names being readily ubtained, the Proprietors intend to
' specify in their Catalogues such articles only as are worthy of cultivation, and which they really do
jcultivate. It cannot be expected that an establishment cultivating the variety that this really does
\can at all times be supplied with every variety and every size of tree, shrub and plant specified in the
——

2 PREFACE.
Catalogue. Every exertion will be made to keep up a full supply ; but on the one hand an extensive
demand may at one time exhaust the present supply of particular varieties ; and on the other hand for
want of demand for a time, the cultivation of young trees, shrubs, or plants of particular varieties may
be temporarily suspended, although the stock to propagate from is on the premises ; or an unfavor-
able season may thwart the efforts of the propagators. In accordance with the principle of cultivating
such articles only as are really valuable, the Proprietors have made a material reform as well in the
Nursery as in the Catalogue, by expunging from both inferior varieties ; having grafted or budded
. anew many fruit trees, and ceased the cultivation of many varieties of trees, shrubs, and plants
enumerated in former Catalogues of this establishment. The new varieties they shall offer, both
fruit and ornamental, will be such only as they have proved, or whose character has been established
by authority that can be depended upon; and not the refuse of Wrench Nurseries under new and
pompous names, with which the public has been so often deceived.
The improvement they have attempted in another respect they flatter themselves will be deemed
really such. They allude to the present Catalogue of the establishment. In the form in which they
have heretofore generally been issued, merely giving the names of varieties of fruits and their season of
maturity, and a list of ornamental trees, shrubs, and plants, Nursery Catalogues were but of very
limited use to most persons ; but few having practical knowledge of the several varieties, and fewer
still possessing the necessary horticultural works to resort to for information. To enable them to
make such selection of fruits as would correspond with their wishes, some description of the respective
yarieties and of their qualities was requisite. Although some time since, and betore we knew of its
being contémplated by any other person, we designed to make this improvement, together with the
others hereafter adyerted to, in the next Catalogue we should issue, we do not claim the merit of
: being the first to carry it into effect; haviag been anticipated in that respect by the proprictors of
three other Nurseries. We will here advert to the importanca of a description of the respective
varieties of fruits, even though brief, not only to aid in making a selection, but as a means of eventually
ascertaining the genuineness of the fruit ; and also to the importance of giving the leading synonyms
or other names by which the same variety of fruit is known, or at least those under which they are
cultivated in different Nurseries ; as if attended to, it will prevent the ordering or receiving the same
variety under different names.
It will be perceived that we have designated but two qualities of fruits, having discarded all inferior
varieties. It may be asked, why not confine the cultivation to varieties of the first class only ; to
which we answer, that not only tastes differ, but that it is often times difficult for the same person to
determine whether a fruit most properly belongs to the first or second class. So also a fruit of second
quality as to flavor, may be very desirable on account of size, period of maturity, and great productive.
ness ; and some second rate varieties have acquired celebrity in some sections of the country, and are
there deemed first rate. In designating the qualities of fruits, we have not relied entirely upon our
own judgment even when our experience would enable us to exercise it ; but have paid due respect
to the judgment of celebrated Pomologists, and necessarily so as to new varieties ; and we frankly
acknowledge our great indebtedness to that inestimable work lately issued, the third edition of the
Catalogue of the London Horticultural Society. It must be borne in mind, however, that although
that work is of the highest authority in England, it is not equally so in this country, owing to the
great difference in climate ; our dry, sunny, and warm atmosphere materially affecting the quality of
many of the fruits cultivated in England. We therefore have not discarded from cultivation every
variety of fruit, without any exception, which has been pronounced by the London Horticultural
Society inferior in England; nor have we invariably conformed to their opinion of the rank which a
fruit is entitled to be placed in; the quality, as before remarked, being affected by climate. We could
\ name several varieties of fruits which have been pronounced by that Society as not worthy of culti-
vation in England, which our own experience has taught us are good here ; and our judgment has
. been confirmed by the late Robert Manning and other eminent Pomologists. We will instance merely
one variety, because most persons are familiar with it—the ‘Isabella Grape "—which is decisively
| pronounced “bad” and rejected in the Catalogue referred to as unworthy of cultivation: while in
. this country this fruit is not only very highly but deservedly esteemed. (a)
(a) The public has lately been favored with printed lists of fruits ** rejected as out-casts,’’ based, as is stated, upon the inves-
tigations of the London Iorticul‘ural Society, connected with the experiments of the late Robert Manning, the late William
Prince, and of the author of the | The motive iv publishing those lists was no doubt to prevent the public from being any
longer imposed upon by worthless fruits; and great benefit would no doubt be derived from those lists, if entire confidence can
be placed in them, But ‘it cannot fail to create great surprise’? that some of the fruits so rejected in those lists upon the
authority of the London Horticultural Society and of Mr. Manning,’’ are ranked as first quality in the late Catalogue of that
Society, and commended by Mr. Manning in his publications not long prior to his decease ; and that during the last year, and
since the decease of the late William Prince, the Author of those lists issued a Nursery Catalogue, offering for sale very many
of those worthless varieties, alihough, as stated in the same Catalogue, he possessed specimen trees of every variely of fruit com-
prised therein. It is also remarkable, that the uames of many of those worthless fruits can be found only in his own Catalogue,
and that very many ofthe ‘rejected fruits’? have never been propagated in this country.

We also considered, that not only would a brief description of the prominent varieties of Orna-
mental ‘Trees, Shrubs and Plants, be extremely useful, but that a classification of them was indispensa™
ble to enable persons unacquainted with them, appropriately to arrange them ; otherwise,they might
order trees unsuitable for the situation in which they mightdesire to place them , and might plant a
diminutive shrub and one of the largest growth, or a six inch anda nine foot herbaceous plant,
adjoining each other, thereby greatly marring the effect which an appropriate arrangement of them
would produce ; and asan aid to the latter, we have also given the color of the flower of the several
varieties of herbaceous plants.
We have designed one other improvement, and which we hope will be considered as such : the
accompanying the catulogue with remarks upon, and instructions for the cultivation of the several
varieties of Trees, Shrubs and Plants, so far forth as they can beconveniently given in a mere Nursery
Catalogue, without rendering it entirely tov expensive for gratuitous distribution. We flatter our-
selves, that as a whole, the present Catalogue is unprecedented, and will be found useful to our
Patrons ; and should the labor and unusual expense we have incurred in presenting it to them appear
to be appreciated, we shall endeavor, in future editions, to improve its usefulness.
Previous to some remarks upon planting, ete.; we shall merely advert to the value of Fruit, not
merely as a luxury, but as conducive to health ; and also to its cultivation being frequently a source
of profit. Many persons omit planting the trees, because they say they cannot expect to enjoy the
fruit. The sooner they discard a principle not only selfish, but to a considerable extent erroneous
the better for themselves as well as for their posterity ; as many varieties come soon into bearing, and
they might reasonably expect to enjoy fruit from the tree which they had themselves planted: and
the additional value, increasing every year, which a stock of Fruit Trees, though not in bearing,
gives to the land, is of itself a matter efno small importance. The planting of Ornamental Trees,
Shrubs and Plants alsocannot be tuo strongly urged upon every land holder. It adds to the value of
property : evinces taste in the proprieter: and contributes largely to rational enjoy ment.
PLANTING TREES.
The first question which presents itself is, which is the best season for transplanting, Spring or
Autumn? We think Autumn planting is to be preferred for most varieties of Trees, unless the soil is
clayey or retentive of water, or the winter usually very severe : in which cases, it had better, if prac-
ticable, be deferred until Spring. Cnerry Trees should, ifconvenient, be planted in the Autumn,
vegetation starting with them so very early in the Spring, that there is hardly time to transplant them
after the frost is sufficiently out of the ground,to permit their removal: and more especially if they
are to be removed south. The Spring is preferable for Peaches, Apricots and Nectarines, in those
sections of the country where the winter is severe. For Evergreen Trees, as early in the Spring as
conveniently can be, is to be preferred: though owing to the fibrous nature of their roots allowing
them to be taken up with balls of earth, they may, with proper care, be transplanted with safety, from
October to May: and some prefer the latest period we have named. All trees to be removed
any distance south, should be transplanted in the Autumn : and so, also, those to be sent north and
west,in consequence of the diihculty of transporting them sufficiently early inthe Spring. The
soil best adapted to, and observations upon the planting and culture of the several varieties of Fruit
Trees and Shrubs, are subjoined to the lists of the respective varieties.
Immediately upon receiving the trees, the bundle should be unpacked . and if a considerable
number are to be planted out, a trench should be previously dug, of suificient size and depth to
receive the roots, in which they should be temporarily placed, well watered, and the earth fiiled in
so as to prevent the access of air, and keep the roots moist. If there are but few to plant out, then
water the roots well, screen them as effectually as possible from the sun and air, and in either case
remove the trees as fastonly as they can be planted. If the trees have been very long out ol
the ground, soaking the roots and bodies also in pond water for some hours, even to twenty-four, or
upwards, according to the appearance they present, will be beneficial, and oftentimes save their lives.
The holes in which the trees are planted, should be much larger in diameter than would appear to
be necessary to receive the roots, and should also be dug considerably deeper, the bottom being again
filled up to the requisite height with good top soil, incorporating with it some well rotted manure
Cut off smoothly with a sharp knife, the ends ofany roots that may have been broken or woundec
and also any broken fibres. Bear in mind that one of the greatest errors committed in planting trees
is planting them too deep. They should be planted very little, if at all decper than they originally
stoodinthe Nursery. In planting the tree therefore full aliowance should be made for the subsequen
settling ofthe ground in which they are planted, so that when first planted, they should pre-ent the aj
pearance of being slightly elevated on mounds or hillocks : and that they should be so planted as to pre

sent such appearance after the ground has fully settled, is strongly recommended by the most eminent
horticulturists : as from the subsequent manuring and cultivation of the soil, the roots are apt to become
covered too deep, thereby depriving them of the genial influence of the sun, light and air, all of which
are essential to the health and vigor ofthe tree. The necessary estimate for that purpose having been
made, and the soil at the bottom of the hole levelled, place the tree in its proper position, and carefully
spread out the roots in every direction, extending them their whole length, and placing them as,
nearly as may be in a horizontal position. While one person holds the tree in its position, let
another gently and gradually fillinthe earth finely pulverized, so as not merely to cover the roots
but to fill all vacancies asthoroughly as possible. If the roots are large, the hands, or a blunt stick,
should, ifnecessary, be employed for the Jatter purpose. Some well rotted manure should be incor-|
porated with the soil used for filling in, or after the roots are covered with the soil, may be spread |
thinly over it: but be particularly cautious that no hot manure comes in contact withthe roots. The
hole being thus filled in about two-thirds, and the roots well covered, pour in a few gallons of water)
according to the size of the tree, to settle the earth around the roots : and after the water has settled!
away, fill in the residue of the dry soil, gently pressing it down with the feet. The tree should not be}
drawn up or shaken while planting, which is sometimes practised, nor should any subsequent water-|
ing be resorted to, except in cases of great necessity : when the soil round thetree as far as the roots |
extend, to the depth of a couple of inches, should be first removed: andthe water having been applied |
and settled away, the soil should then be replaced. The directions for pouring water into the hole,|
applies more particularly to Spring planting, and todry soils : in late Autumn planting,if frost is to
be soon expected, or if the soil is wet or clayey and retentive, then little or no water should be used,|
according to the circumstances. We would also remark, that in the case of summer drought, |
surface watering is considered rather injurious than beneficial, and many consider watering
at all rather injurious than otherwise: but if it should be necessary to resort to it, in all cases
remove the top soil, and let the watering be thorough, replacing the soil when the water has
soaked away, or with adibble or other suitable instrument, make holes in the earth to some depth, so
that the water penetrates at once to or even somewhat beneath the roots. We most strenuously |
recommend the utmost pains being taken in planting : as to the want-of it, the failure of success is)
generally to be ascribed, and for which the Nurseryman is too often unjustly blamed. In all casesit is
advisable to stake newly planted Trees as recommended in the remarks on-Apple Trees.
The soil should not be dug within four feet of the trees, as the roots are liable to be injured thereby,
if not entirely cut off: and it is extremely desirable not only to preserve them uninjured, but as near
the surface of the earth as possible : nor should the soil be cropped or weeds or grass be permitted, |
to giow within that distance- When manure is applied, it should be well decomposed, and lightly!
forked in.
PRUNING.
It is generally necessary to form the head of a young tree by proper pruning: and for the judicious
performance of which, it is requisite that the effect produced by it should be understood. Cutting off,
the end of a limb does not check, but on the contrary, stimulates luxuriance of growth, causing lateral |
shoots to put forth, andthe fewer eyes or buds that are left, the more vigorous the shoots from them
will be: and dormant buds not visible may be forced. To form a compact head therefore, or to
supply vacancies, prune the limhs, thus forcing lateral shoots, and selecting those which you would
wish to grow, rub uff the rest while quite young. Discretion should be used in shortening the limbs:
and the proper formation ofthe head should be soughtio be obtained by disbudding, that is to say, by
rubbing off buds where branches are not required, and leaving tnose which will put forth shoots in the
desired direction, The head of the young tree received from the Nursery, should not be pruned more
than is absolutely necessary to form it, unless the tree is very deficient in roots, foliage being almost
as necessary to form roots, as roots to cause the head to grow. In case of a deficiency of roots,
pruning may be necessary to maintain a proper equilibrium between the roots and the head- When
trees are sent from a Nursery before the head has begun to form, when they have attained a suitable
height, prune the top to force out lateral branches for the purpose. The proper season for pruning is
the Spring, after the buds have begun to swell, as the wound then soon heals over. For observations
upon pruning the several varieties of Fruit Trees after the head has been formed, we refer to the
remarks subjoined to the lists of the respective varieties : merely noting here, that when a limb is
removed, it should be taken off close to the main stem, and the wound smoothed over with a sharp
knife : and if large, a composition of red ochre and tar should be spread over the wound to keep ont
moisture.

PREFACE. g
ESPALIERS.
From experience in our private garden, we are strongly induced to recommend the training of
| Fruit Trees as Esratrers. The Pear, Apple, Plum, Quince, Apricot, Nectarine and Peach are all
appropriate to the purpose; but the Pear is most generally used. They are highly ornamental from
the time the fruit is in blossom until gathered. Common cedar stakes driven into the ground from
one to two feet apart, and cut off even at the height of six or seven feet, answer well to train them to,
| The most usual modes of training are either horizontally or fan-shaped. For the purpose of training |
as Espaliers, the Pear.is usually grafted or budded on Quince stock, the Apple on Paradise stock, and
the Apricot, Nectarine, and Peach on Plum stock, to prevent their attaining too large a size, and also
on account of their coming sooner into bearing. As respects the Pear, we prefer it on its own stock +
the reason for which is stated in our remarks on that fruit. The training is very simple. If grafted
|or budded on other stocks, they are of course done close to the surface of the ground: and if those on
their own stocks are preferred for the purpose, it is only necessary when ordering them, to apprise
the Nurseryman of the purpose for which they are intended, and who will accordingly send young
or maiden trees budded very low. In either case the tree is cut down to about a foot from the surface
of the ground. When the buds have started, all are rubbed off but three, one being left near the top
for a vertical leader: and one on each side as near as may be for horizontal branches The next
| Spring head down the leader to ahout a foot above the uppermost horizontal branch, and above which
‘three buds only are left for training as before: and so each successive year, until the tree has
attained the height desired. If the leading shoot is vigorous, it may be stopped in the summer to
/cause it to throw out two additional branches the same season: excepting in those sections of the
country where the early setting in of Winter would not probably allow time for the wood of such
new shoots toripen. Stakes need nut be placed the first year; and they may afterwards be driven in
as the tree progresses in growth and occasion requires: and as the branches increase in size, some of
the stakes being no longer necessary, may be removed. The distance between trees planted to train
as Espaliers, should be from fifteen to twenty feet when on dwarf stocks, according to the species, and
rather more when on their own bottoms. When the leader has attained the full height intended, it
| must be finally stopped: and likewise the horizontal branches when they have extended the distance
required. Ifthe trees should be too luxuriant, or very backward in producing fruit buds, root pruning
| should be resorted to, by partially removing the soil and cutting off some of the large roots. Attention
must of course be paid to training the branches, and to forming the head by removing superfluous
shoots: and when the tree is fully trained or nearly so, or should begin to bear, the necessary pruning
of the spur bearing kinds, and the thinning out of the superfluous branches of other sorts must be
attended to: as also the occasional removal of old wood to obtain a supply of young, when rendered
necessary by the tree becoming advanced inage. By training as an Espalier,the tree becomes more
prolific, and the fruit finer, as respects both size and flavor, from its free exposure to the sun and air,
‘and it is not so liable to drop from the agitation of the branches by the wind. For training, the Apple
|should be budded on Paradise stock: and with respect to the Peach, Apricot and Nectarine, Plum
stock is to be preferred for the like purpose.
VISITERS.
This establishment is located in the Village of Flushing, on Long Island, distant about
‘nine miles from the City of New York ; and the Nursery fronts on the principal street of
the village, about two hundred yards from the Bridge and Steamboat landing. There is
/communication between the City and the Village several times daily, by Omnibus Coaches
from the corner of Peck Slip and Water Street, and by Steainer from Fulton Market wharf.
|The Nursery and Gardens are open at all times, Sunday and the Fourth of July excepted ;
and Horticulturists and Amateurs are respectfully invited to visit the establishment. From
the agreeable promenades through the grounds, and the extensive variety of trees, shrubs,
and plants which are presented for examination, they would no doubt at all times be
gratified by a visit, and more especially at those periods when flowers are most abundant,
that is to say, from about the first of May to the middle of July, and particularly in the
month of June ; though the number and variety of flowers cultivated at this establishment
is so great, the Roses occupying an acre of ground, the Peonies numbering many thousands)
in fifty varieties, together with the extensive collections of bulbous and herbaceous plants,
flowering shrubs, etc., that the admirers of Flora can hardly fail of being gratified by a visit
at any time ; as even in the Winter the Greenhouses will prove interesting.

ORDERS FOR TREES, Etc:
We would suggest, especially when extra sized fruit trees are required, that persons giving
orders merely specify the number of each species or kind required, leaving the selection of
the varieties to the Proprietors; as they may have larger or finer trees of some varieties,
than of others of the same grade of fruits, and will do full justice. Inasmuch, also, as before
remarked, the Proprietors may not be able at all times to supply every variety that may be
ordered, or not of satisfactory size, to prevent disappointment in receiving the number of
trees, etc., desired, we would further suggest, that in such cases the Proprietors be author-
ised to substitute other varieties of equal quality with those ordered.
Trees to be transported to a distance are carefully packed in matted bundles or boxes, so
as to be sent to Europe, the West Indies, or any part of America, with safety. In giving
orders, the distance and mode of land transportation should be mentioned, that the packing
may be regulated accordingly. Every variety of tree, shrub and plant is distinctly labelled,
and an invoice sent; and we would recommend, and more especially with respect to fruit
trees, that when planted out a permanent label be affixed to each; and in addition thereto,
that a record be made of them to guard against the accidental loss of the label.
We do not claim to be infallible ; as the proverb says, “‘ accidents will happen in the best
regulated families ;” but so far as integrity and the exercise of the utmost care and circum-
spection on the part of the Proprietors, and the employment by them of experienced and
careful hands, will ensure correctness, purchasers may rely upon every variety sent proving
true toname. In case a mistake should occur, we are always ready and willing to make
ample amends
All packages are delivered at Fulton Market Wharf, New-York, by water, free of any
charge for freight ; and when desired, will be shipped or forwarded to jersons at a distance,
in such manner as may bedirected. Such directions should be full and explicit; and all
possible care will be bestowed by the Proprietors, both in packing and in forwarding them
from New-York, to cause them to arrive safe at their place of destination ; but it is to be dis-
tinetly understood, that after being thus delivered or shipped at New-York, they are wholly
at the risk of the purchaser.. No charge is made for delivery or shipment at New-York,
other than the actual expense of any cartage there. Insurance against loss by sea will be
effected at the expense of the purchaser, whenever requested.’
Catalogues may be obtained gratis by direct application to the Proprietors, if by mail post
paid. Post paid Letters requiring information, will be promptly replied to.
The difficulties attending the collection of sums due from persons at a distance, renders it
absolutely necessary that all orders from such persons, except through an Agent of the esta-
blishment, should be accompanied with the cash, or an order upon or reference to some
responsible person in the City of New-York for the payment of the amount ofthe bill. Where
several persons ina neighborhood at the same time require a supply, they can unite in an
order, specifying the kinds required for each individual, and they will be separately labelled
and invoiced, so that no confusion can arise.
The prices specified in the Catalogue, are for Trees, etc., of moderate size. For those of
extra size, a reasonably proportionate advance will be charged. When a large quantity is
desired, and also to Nurserymen, Venders and Agents, a liberal discount will be made.
Seedlings and small sized trees, ete., will be furnished at reduced prices, and very low by
the quantity.
Persons disposed to act as Agents of this establishment in other places, are requested to
communicate their views on the subject to the Proprietors.
{c+ The several varieties of fruits marked new, will not be for sale until the Autumn
of 1844.

REMARKS.
Tur Apple is deemed the most valuable of all the fruits cultivated in the United States:
throughout almost the whole extent of which, and some parts of Canada, it flourishes. The
congeniality of our climate to its culture is exemplified, not only by the improvement, in
general, of the European varieties when grown here, but in the fact of many of the most
superior kinds now cultivated in the United States, being of native origin. The Apple
Tree will thrive on almost any soil, not decidedly wet. An extremely sandy, or gravelly,
anda stiff clayey soil, should, if possible, be avoided. It does not, however, require a
very rich soil, though it will flourish most in such ; a good strong loam, rather moist than
dry, and the bottom at the same time, not too retentive of moisture, will answer well.
Neither does it require a very deep soil, as the roots of the Apple Tree extend themselves
principally ina horizontal direction. Apple Trees should be planted from thirty to forty-
five feet apart, according to the richness of the soil ; the stronger and richer the soil naturally
is, the great distance apart should the Trees be planted, to allow for the greater luxuriance
of their future growth. As the most suitable soil cannot always be selected, artificial
means may be used to improve that which may be appropriated for the Orchard. If the
soil is sandy or gravelly, ditch or pond mud, ora moderate portion of clay, may be ploughed
or dug in for some distance around each location fora Tree ; and if the soil is too stiff,
rich loam, and a portion of sand, or the latter only, may be added with a beneficial effect.
If the soil is too wet, it may possibly be drained without much labor or expense.
The ground appropriated for the Orchard, should be well prepared for planting, by several
previous deep ploughings, the first of which, if convenient, should be done in the Autumn,
that the exposure to the frost through the Winter, may meliorate the soil.

APPLES. 13
Be careful not to plant too deep (see Preface,) especially if the sub-soil is wet, as the
roots penetrating into a cold wet soil, will not only affect the productiveness of the Tree
and the quality of the fruit, but after a few years the Trees will become covered with moss,
and probably cankered. Canker may also be produced by deep digging, in cultivating the
ground round the tree, so as to force the roots to penetrate a bad subsoil ; and likewise by
an unfavorable climate for ripening the wood. The best remedy for the latter, isto keep
the soil poor, so as to prevent the Tree from making much wood to ripen. The head of
the young Tree having been formed by judicious pruning, as adverted to in the preface,
afterwards be careful to remove, by cutting off close to the mainstem, every limb that
crosses and galls another, and all dead and diseased branches. This is all the pruning that
is in general necessary, except removing the summer shoots from the main stems in the
centre of the Tree; the suckers that spring up from the roots should, in all cases, be
grubbedup. Insome parts of the country, the canker worm often proyes very injurious to
Apple Trees ; various remedies have been proposed for extirpating them ; the only means of
preventing their ravages, appears to consist in obstructing their ascent of the Tree: and the
simplest, and probably the most efficient method recommended for that purpose is the fol-
lowing: About the middle of October place round each Tree a square box, twelve or four-
teen inches high, made of rough boards, leaving a space of from four to six inches between
the Box and the Tree. A ledge is nailed entirely round the top of the Box, projecting two
or three inches beyond the outside, and the Box inserted two or three inches into the
ground. Tar the outside of the box and under part of the ledge frequently, to prevent the
ascent of the grub from the outside, and fill the inside of the Box two-thirds full of cotton
waste, or tow will probably answer the same purpose, well pounded down, to prevent their
ascent on the inside. The Box may be removed the latter part of May.
The beauty of an Orchard is sometimes seriously impaired by the slanting position
which the bodies of many of the Trees have assumed, sometimes principally in one direc-
tion from the prevalence of particular winds, and oftentimes in various directions. A very
little trouble would, in a great measure, if not wholly, guard against this blemish, and
also correct the natural inclination of the Apple Tree to a somewhat crooked growth.
For those purposes we strongly recommend, that at the time of planting, a stout stake be
driven or firmly set into the ground, close to each Tree, or which would be still better, two
of them, to which the young tree should be secured in at least two places; care should be
|taken that the Tree is not galled by the ligatures, to avoid which, those of very soft mate-
rials only should be used, such as loose twisted thick tow cord, which should be passed
twice round the Tree without tying, so as to permit the enlargement of the body, and then
secured to the stake. That part of the body of the Tree around which the cord passes, may
be further protected from injury by wolding some straw around it; and a stout wisp of
straw well twisted for a ligature, will last some time, renewing it as occasion requires. If
the stakes should not have rotted off by the time the Trees no longer require their support,
they can be sawed off close to the ground, so that their removal will not disturb the roots
of the Tree. Staking the tree is also advantageous in another respect. The vibration of
the body of the Tree by the winds, extends to, and more or less affects, the roots of one
newly planted, the soil being soft, so much so as oftentimes to break off, it is supposed, the
young fibres that put forth from the roots. Staking the tree therefore will facilitate its
taking root. For further observations on the subject generally of planting trees, we refer to
the Preface.
The soil of the Apple Orchard should, if possible, be kept well cultivated for several years
after the orchard is planted; and thereafter if laid down in grass, should be occasionally
broken up.
An Apple Orchard is not merely a Juaxuwry to the proprietor ; for where a market for its
produce is conveniently accessible, it may be made a source of profit ; inasmuch as large
quantities are required not only for the consumption of our cities and villages, but for
exportation. Rocky and stony land, which cannot be advantageously used for the purposes
of general cultivation, may be profitably appropriated for an Orchard, and for which purpose
the soil is in some respects well adapted.

' * Few, if any, equal, and none excel thie Pear in flavor. It is a most abundant bearer, the fruit
growing in clusters. The head of the Tree is very compact ; it should be kept open by pruning, and
the ground around the Tree kept mellow and rich. The fruit may be thus considerably enlarged,
and thinning it out when small will have a beneficial effect. The fruit should be gathered before
fully ripe, when it will gradually mature, and last sometime. It is very valuable as a market fruit,
bringing a high price.

cs- Trees of most of the varieties, suitable for training as Espariers (in relation to
which see Preface), can be supplied at 374 cents each. Some of the choicest varieties are
propagated also on Quince stock for the like purpose or as Dwarrs, the price of which will
be 50 cents each, and upwards, according to size.
REMARKS.
The easy culture of the Pear, its adaptation to almost any soil, the congeniality of climate
throughout almost the whole extent of the Union for its culture, the great length of time,
nearly the whole year, during which it is in season, and the fine qualities it possesses as a
fruit, renders it one of the most desirable which can be cultivated in the United States,
second only, if not equal, to the Apple. The great improvement which has taken place in
this fruit within a few years past, not only by the introduction of new and very superior
varieties from Europe, but by the originating of a considerable number of most delicious
sorts in this country, has caused this truly fine fruit to grow daily in public estimation, and
to be much more generally cultivated than formerly, especially in those sections of the
country where the Peach does not thrive as heretofore, for which as a summer fruit it 1s
deemed a most excellent substitute, and over which it presents the truly important advantages
of the longevity of the Tree, and the great length of time during which the fruit is in season.
may be rendered very profitable not only to the market gardener, but to the farmer within a
reasonable distance of a market, as the best sorts generally bring a high price. The winter
Pears can of course be transported to a very considerable distance ; and the Trees of many
of those varieties being very great bearers, and the fruit of very large size, the combination
Not only is the cultivation of the Pear therefore extremely desirable for private use, but it

| varieties of the Pear have deteriorated in some paris of the country, is unquestionable ; this
the deleterious influence of the salt air near the sea board ;.4. to the want of proper atten-
| sections of the country, still maintain their celebrity in the interior, and more especially in
the virgin soil of the West. Which of the other causes assigned has tended to deteriorate ||
the fine kinds allnded to, we will not undertake to determine; one or more of them may ||
‘affected, and burn them; and to pursue the like course if the Tree should again present a
20 PEARS.
of those two good qualities affords an enormous yield; and it is confidently asserted by most
intelligent persons, that the extensive cultivation of choice varieties of this fruit, will afford
a greater return in proportion to the capital employed and labor bestowed, than any other
product of the farm. The Pear Tree growing very upright, it takes up but little room,
and may be advantageously placed along division fences without materially, if at all, inter-
fering with the cultivation of the fields. Twenty to thirty feet apart, according to the rich-
ness of the soil, is the proper distance for planting in an orchard. That some of the fine old
is ascribed to various causes; 1. that those varieties have run out as it is termed; 2. the
use of diseased stock, or scions from diseased or aged and unthrifty Trees, or both, 3. to
tion to soil and culture. We cannot subscribe to the soundness of the reason first assigned ;
there are too many instances of varieties of Fruit whose origin is so remote that it cannot
be traced, still continuing in full vigor; and the kinds which have deteriorated in some
have had their influence ; but we think that proper attention to propagation, soil, and
culture, may in general, if not in every instance, restore the valuable old varieties to their
pristine excellence ; and in this vicinity, there is decisive evidence of the improvement of
that superior old variety the White Doyenne, St. Michael’s, or Virgalieu.
The Pear may be grown on poor soil, provided it is not wet; the roots extend more |}
| perpendicularly than the Apple, and the soil therefore should be deeper; and like the Apple,
their penetrating into a cold wet soil, will impair the health of the Tree. The soil in which
the Pear flourishes best, is a deep strong loam ona dry subsoil. The soil should be enriched
with well rotted manure for two or three years after planting ; thereafter, until the Tree
attains a mature age, a very rich soil is not desirable, as it tends to make the Tree too
luxuriant, producing an exuberance of young wood, instead of forming fruit spurs. The||
poorer the soil the sooner the Tree will come into bearing. If therefore the Tree (and the
same remark will apply to other fruits) should be found to be growing too luxuriantly, and
not bear when it shall have attained that age and size when fruit ought to be expected, it
| would be advisable late in the autumn to remove the earth partially from around the Tree ||.
and cut off some of the main roots, thereby checking the luxuriant growth and inducing
fruitfulness. The remarks with respect to pruning applied to the Apple, apply equally to}
Pears.
The Pear Tree is occasionally subject to a malady termed the fire blight, which sometimes
causes the top of the Tree or the ends of some of its branches suddenly to turn black and})
the leaves to wither. Some assign as the cause of the blight a superabundant flow of sap,
and prescribe as a remedy, the denuding the Tree of a considerable portion of its roots;)
| while others advance an exactly contrary opinion, that it is caused by a stroke of the sun|}
‘which extracts the sap from the ends of the branches more rapidly than it can be replaced,
|a doctrine more easily advanced than understood. The better opinion is, that the disease,
is caused by a ininute insect ; and that the best remedy that can be applied, and which is
generally efiectual, is, immediately to cut off the branches some distance below the parts!
similar appearance.
The Pear is sometimes grafted or budded on Quince stock for the purpose of producing
dwarf Trees or of being trained as Espaliers. They will come into bearing sooner, but on
the other hand, they are short lived, unless treated with great care and skill. In relation to
training the Pear Tree as an Espalier, which we highly approve of and strongly recommend,
we refer to the Preface.
Nearly all the varieties of Pears are much improved by being gathered shortly before
they have attained their full maturity, and ripened in the house ; and this is essential as to
some.

* This truly delicious Cherry was raised from the stone of the Honey Cherry by Daniel Bloodgood,
Esq., an amateur horticulturist of this village, in honor of whom it should have been originally named
inthe Nursery Catalogues. In justice to him, therefore, we have added the synonyms, by which also
this variety is commonly called in this vicinity.

to which see Preface,) can be supplied. ‘
REMARKS ON CHERRIES.
The Cherry is very hardy, requires but little care, and flourishes throughout nearly the
whole United States, in any soil or any situation, other than clay, or low wetground. The
soil best adapted to it, isa light rich loam on a dry bottom. By the proper selection of
varieties, we may enjoy the use of this fine refreshing fruit from the tree for about the
period of two months ; in addition to which, some of the varieties are valuable for preserves.
Great improvement has also taken place in this fruit within a few years past, both by the
introduction from Europe and the originating here of new and very superior varieties. The
proper distance for planting Cherry Trees, is from 25 to 35 feet. They are, however, seldom
planted as an orchard, but generally around the house, answering the purposes also of
ormament and shade. When once established, the Cherry requires little or no pruning,
which, in most cases, is rather injurious than otherwise. Almost the only disease to which
the Cherry Tree is liable, is the exudation of gum; and this, in general, does not do much
injury. If, however, it should prove serious, so as to endanger the tree, the remedy is to cut
away the diseased part, and apply to the wound a composition of half cow dung, free from
litter, and fresh loam well incorporated, with a good portion of soot.

REMARKS.
Tue Plum is a delicious desert fruit ; some of the varieties make a superior preserve, and
others are valuable for drying. It succeeds best ina deep rich loam, ona dry subsoil:
A sandy or dry scil, and also a clayey or wet one, are to be avoided if practicable. The
former may be improved by the application of strong loam or clay, and the lattcr by the
intermixture of sand and by drainage. The proper distance for planting is from fifteen to
twenty feet. In some districts of the country, the Plum is subject to the attacks of a
small insegt called the Curcunio, which perforates the fruit, usually when very young, and
deposits its egg, shortly .after the hatching of which the fruit drops, and the grub or larva
leaves the fruit and enters the ground, from whence it emerges in a winged form, sometimes
it is said the same season, but generally the ensuing spring, again to perpetrate the same
mischief. Various remedies have been proposed to obviate this evil. Paving round the
Tree to the extent of the branches, has proved very effectual, as the grub is thereby pre-
vented from entering the ground, and perishes. If the Tree is planted in a situation where
the ground is much trodden, it will mitigate, if not wholly remedy the evil. An effectual
remedy is, to destroy the insect while in the larva or grub state, before it quits the fruit and
enters the ground. This may be easily effected in a Plum Orchard, by permitting swine
to run at large therein during the period the fruit is falling. Where that course cannot be
pursued, gather the fallen fruit every morning, and feed it to the hogs or otherwise eflec-
tually destroy it. By these means, the Curculio may in the course of two or three seasons
be almost if not entirely extirpated. Some varieties of the Plum are also sub-
ject, in some parts of the country, to a malady known as the black warts or knots,
appearing in the form of rough excrescences on the limbs. If permitted to remain,
they will extend throughout the whole Tree, and eventually destroy it. These warts are
generally supposed to be caused by an insect ; the remedy for the-evil is, effectually to cut
out the diseased part, or if necessary, the whole limb, early in the Spring, and burning
them; applying to the wound, if serious, a composition of clay and fresh cow dung. If the
jree is greatly affected, dig it up and burn it. This malady is confined principally to the
Damsons and common Purple Plums, the finer varieties being generally exempt from it.
The Plum Tree is also sometimes attacked by an insect commonly called the Borer, with
respect to which, and the remedy, we refer to the remarks subjoined to Peaches. If the
Tree should be long in coming into bearing, treat if in the same manner as directed with
respect to the Pear Tree. The Plum Tree requires but very little pruning, unless the head
becomes too dense; dead or diseased branches, and such as cross each other, should be cut
a
out, and which should be done in May or June, to prevent gumming.

REMARKS. |
There are but few distinct fine varieties of this fruit. The whole number of varieties at
present cultivated in the garden of the London Horticultural Society is but fourteen. The
soil and cultivation are the same as for the Peach hereafter mentioned. The Apricot
blossoming very early, its blossoms are very liable to drop off in setting, eccasioned by the
action of a cold atmosphere, or by the difference between the temperature of the atmosphere
and that of the ground around the roots. The Apricot therefore should be planted shallow,
and in a cold rather than a warm situation, so as to retard the blossoming. The finest Tree
we have ever known was planted and trained against the north-western side of a building.
When the fruit was about half grown, and until nearly ripe, the ground was well watered
every evening to a considerable extent from the Tree, causing the fruit to swell. The
product, both in respect to quantity and size, was very great. It generally bears too
profusely ; the fruit should be thinned out when quite small, and it should be gathered
before it is thoroughly ripe. It is sometimes subject to the attacks of the curculio, and
liable, like the Peach, to those of the borer.

REMARKS.
The Nectarine is a most beautiful as well as delicious fruit. The soil, planting, and
culture is the same as for the Peach. The skin being smooth like a Plum, it is like that
fruit liable to the attacks of the curculio, and like the Peach to those of the borer; for the

REMARKS.
This most delicious fruit, unsurpassed in flavor by any other, flourishes in most parts of
the United States. So congenial toits culture is the climate of the Southern and South-
Western States, that the natural stock produces fruit of good quality. A light sandy soil
answers well for Peach Trees, thougha rich light loam is to be preferred; they will not
flourish on a cold, wet, stiff soil. From the early blossoming of the Peach Tree, the blos-
soms are liable to be destroyed by late frosts. It is therefore recommended to plant the
trees on elevated situations, unprotected by any shelter, and on the North side of hills, so
as to retard their blossoming. In cold regions a rich soil is to be avoided, as it encourages
too luxuriant a growth of wood, which has not time to ripen before the frost sets in. The
trees should be planted shallow, from sixteen to twenty feet apart, and at all times kept well
cultivated. For a year or two it may be cropped with potatoes, turnips, ete. The Peach
tree bears its fruit solely on shoots of the preceding year’s growth. To prevent the long

the limbs a foot or two, which will cause the production of lateral shoots; and annually
thereafter, in the month of July, the wood of the preceding year’s growth should be in like
manner shortened, thereby producing a symmetrical tree and also a greater quantity of
bearing wood. The longevity of the tree will also be promoted by it. This treatment
must of course be pursued with some judgment, so as not to render the tree impervious to
sunand air; as the head of the tree must always be kept sufficiently open for those pur-
poses. The curculio sometimes infests the Peach Tree, though not to a great extent; for
the remedy we refer to the remarks on Pius.
In some sections of the country, where until within a few years past the Peach Tree
flourished in the utmost luxuriance and with little or no care, two diseases have made their
appearance, blasting the fruit and shoriening the life of the tree. The one is called the
Yeviows, and the other is caused by an insect called the PEacu Worm or Borer.
The YeLLows Is a contagious disease, supposed to be communicated by the pollen or
farina of the blossoms; it may be transmitted by grafting or budding, or by seedlings raised
from infected trees. The characteristics of the disease are, the leaves assuming a sickly
yellow appearance; short and slender branches putting forth, sometimes two or more
together, presenting a very weak and sickly appearance, with small narrow leaves; and
small mottled fruit ripening prematurely. The only remedy is utterly to destroy all Trees)}
infected with the disease, taking care to remove all the roots from the ground. A new}}
orchard should not be planted on the same ground until after some years of intermediate ||
cultivation.
The Peacu Worm or Borer, deposits its egg in the bark of the tree near the surface of the ||
ground, and the grub upon being hatched penetrates further down and boresits way around ||
the trunk, in time completely girdling and destroying the tree. The presence of the Borer is|}
N indicated by gum exuding from the tree just below the surface of the ground. The trees
should be examined every Spring or Fall, removing the earth to the depth of three or four||}
inches, and the Borers cut out witha knife or destroyed with a sharp wire. Various other
methods have been recommended for their desiruction, such as pouring soap suds and boiling
hot water upon the roots; applying about a quart of unslacked lime to a tree of ordinary||
size ; and as preventives, removing the surface of the soil and substituting Tanner’s bark 3}

twelve inches from the surface of the earth, of unleached ashes, of charcoa] broken small, |}

and of Blacksmith’s cinders; the mound to be removed in October, that the bark may||
harden before Winter.
The Peach is frequently budded on Plum Stock. It isnot so liable to the attack of the||}
Borer, and comes sooner into bearing, but itis equally exposed to the Yellows: Thetree is
—

thereby rendered dwarfish, and it is better caleulated for Espaliers than for Standards. We}|
think the same objection applies to budding the Peach upon the Plum, as the Pear upon the
Quince.

REMARKS.
A deep, light, rich soil upon a dry bottom, and a warm and sheltered situation, are most
suitable for Grape Vines. Bones of all description and sizes, horns and hoofs of cattle, bone
dust and horn shavings, buried in the soil previous to planting the Vines, afford by their
gradual decomposition a very permanent manure, and keep the ground loose. In the
Northern and Middle States, excepting in cities or very favorable situations, the foreign
Grape Vines require protection in winter ; which may be readily afforded by laying them
down and covering them five or six inches deep with earth sloped to cast off the rain. This
should be done as late in the autumn as the season will admit, and the Vines again
uncovered early in April. The foreign Vines, if cultivated in the open air, may be trained
to a trellis running northerly and southerly, or to stakes, about six feet high, or along a wall,
building, or close fence with a southern aspect ; the native varieties may be trained in like
manner, or over an arbor; being more luxuriant in growth than the foreign, they require
more room. ‘To give minute directions for pruning and training the Vine would occupy too
much space. For general guidance we would remark, that the fruit is produced on shoots
of the same year; the shoots therefore which bore fruit the past season should be cut down
to two or more eyes or joints, according to the vigor of the plant, from which eyes the
bearing wood of the ensuing season will put forth; and that the Vine should at all times be
kept sufficiently open to admit sun and air to ripen the fruit and mature the wood, by stop-
ping or thinning out such of the summer shoots as may not be required for future training,
and by rubbing off, as they appear, the lateral shoots which break from the eyes of the
young wood. ‘The tendrils should be pinched or cut off, and if two shoots should put forth
from the same eye, one of them should be immediately rubbed off. There isa difference
of opinion as to the most proper time for the annual pruning ; it should be left until late in
the Fall or early in the Winter, and should be done before the sap begins to rise in the
Spring.
The American varieties are perfectly hardy, and will do well in almost any soil and
situation, and with but little care. We strenuously recommend, however, a proper attention
to their culture, which will amply repay the labor bestowed, not only by an increase of the
quantity of the fruit, but by an improvement of its quality. It is surprising that the improved
GRAPES.—QUINCES. of
native varieties are not more generally cultivated throughout the country. Though not equal
to the foreign, still they are a delicious fruit. The common Fox and other wild grapes are
much sought after in their season, when a few Vines of the improved varieties would afford
a family an abundant supply at hand of a far superior fruit; in addition to which the Vines
themselves would be ornamental.
A large number of seedling American varieties, originated by the late Proprietor from
admixture of pollen, are under cultivation, and will probably fruit next season, when we
hope some improved and valuable varieties may be obtained.

REMARKS.
Tue Quince produces the finest fruit and most abundant crops when planted in a rich
moist soil, and in a sheltered situation. Naturally growing very crooked and distorted,
they should, when young, have the stems trained to a stake placed alongside, and the lower
limbs should be taken off so as to form a Trer. The proper distance for planting, is ten or
twelve feet apart. The Quince requires little pruning, except removing crossing, crowded,
or decayed branches ; and any suckers from the roots.
The fruit is highly esteemed, and in great demand for preserves. It bears transportation
well, and being of such easy culture, and the Tree occupying but little space, its cultivation
may be made very profitable to the Market Gardener or Farmer.

REMARKS.
The Raspberry will thrive in any good garden soil ; but a deep, rich, and somewhat moist
soil, and a situation not exposed to extreme heat, are to be preferred. They should be
planted in rows (running North and South preferable) five feet asunder, and three feet apart
in the rows ; the space between the rows may be cropped with low summer vegetables, such
as cabbages, bush beans, ete., whereby not only is the ground used and kept mellow by
cultivation, but room is provided for laving down and covering, as hereafter directed, such
of the varieties as may require protection from the severity of the Winter, and the fruit is
more fully exposed to the sun and air. In warm latitudes they should be planted much
closer, so as to shade each other and the ground as much as possible, leaving room to pass
among them ; the ground should not be cropped, but kept free from weeds ; and a moist and
somewhat shaded situation selected if practicable. ‘Two or three plants should be used for
forming each stool ; if two, they should be planted in the line of the row; if three, ina
triangle, in either case six inches apart. A sharp pointed stake six feet long should be driven
into the ground between them, to which the shoots or stems of the plants should be tied.
Stakes however are not absolutely necessary ; the stems of each stool may be tied together
near the ends, soas to support each other. The plants will produce some fruit the first year.

but itis best to cut them down to within six inches of the ground, to favor the establishment
of the plant, and to strengthen the suckers for the succeeding year. As soon asall the fruit
isgathered, the stems which have borne it should be cut down close to the ground, togive light,
air and strength to the suckers, the old stems not bearing a second time, but the fruit of each
year being produced from the suckers of the preceding Summer’s growth, and which should
be tied loosely to the stake, to prevent their being broken. The Antwerps’ and other varie-
ties designated by the letter T in the column of remarks, are liable to be more orless injured
in this climate by the severity of the Winter, from which therefore they should be protected.
The best mode, and which is attended with but little trouble, is, as late in the Autumn as
the season will permit, in order that the wood may be ripened as much as possible, to loose
them from the stakes, bend them down to the ground, and cover them with earth five or six
inches deep, sloped so as to cast off the rain. As soon in the following Spring as the danger
of frost is past, uncover and raise them up carefully and tie them again to the stakes about
the middle and near the top, by securing in the first place the string, which should be of
sufficient strength to last the season, to the stake, and then with the ends enclosing the stems
of the plants, but not too tightly. The pruning should be done immediately upon raising the
stems, or if they have not been protected by laying them down, then in the Spring as soon
as all danger of severe frost has past and before the buds shoot, by cutting off the weak
bending parts at the extremities of the stems. By removing all weak stems, retaining not
more than five or six of the strongest and bestto each stool, and shortening those to about
five feet in height, the quantity as well as size of the fruit will be increased, and the
growth of suckers for the ensuing year will be encouraged. The ground between the plants |
should be well dug and manured every Spring, kept free from weeds during the Summer,
and all superfluous suckers not required for bearing the ensuing year or for forming new
plantations, destroyed. Raspberry plantations are in their prime the third and fourth years, |
and if well managed, continue in perfection three or four years longer, after which they are
apt to degenerate in growth, and to produce fruit less abundantly and of smaller size. A
new plantation should therefore be formed in season, for which purpose new strong plants |
should be selected. The Spring is the most proper season for setting out Raspberries.
We consider the Anrwerps’ as by far the two best sorts for cultivation. They are not
only of extraordinary size, about that of a lady’s thimble, but of superior flavor, great beauty, |
and exquisite fragrance. They are also most abundant bearers, commence ripening very
early, and furnish fruit for the period of a month or more each season, We would remark
however, that much depends upon the gathering of the fruit. One half the crop of Rasp-
berries and Strawberries is frequently destroyed by careless picking. The Yellow Antwerp
is not as vigorous a plant nor quite as productive as the Red ; the latter therefore 1s generally
preferred. Some however prefer the Yellow for its peculiar flavor. A mixture of the two
kinds forms from the contrast of color a beautiful dish of fruit. The twice bearing Rasp-
berry produces its second crop of fruit from the suckers of the same season. As the first
crop, which is produced from the suckers of the preceding year, can readily be spared, there
being an abundance of other varieties then in fruit, it is recommended, in order to produce
an abundant crop in the Autumn, to cut down the stems close to the ground in the Spring,
and the suckers, which will be produced with unusual vigor, may be stopped about the middle
of June by pinching off the extreme ends, which will cause the buds to break and produce
an abundant crop late in the season. The same course of treatment may be applied to the
Red Antwerp Raspberry to obtain a late crop.

STRAWBERRIES. Al
REMARKS.
Tue Srrawperry is not only a most delicious and highly esteemed fruit, but it is also
very wholesome. A deep rich loam, rather moist than dry, and an open airy situation,
exposed to the sun, are preferable for Strawberries. In good soil, the roots of the Straw-
berry plant penetrate to the depth of eighteen mches and two feet. The soil therefore,
should be well prepared by deep digging, so as to enable the plants readily to extend their
roots in search of food, and they will also thereby suffer less from drought. If the subsoil
will admit of it, trench the ground two spades deep, bringing the bottom soil to the top,
and depositing between the two spits, a good coat of half rotted horse or cow manure ;
but if the subsoil is too bad, then after removing the top spit, turn up the bottom the depth
of the spade, pulverize it well, incorporate with it a good quantity of the like manure, and
then replace the top soil, well pulverized. There isa difference of opinion as to the best
season for planting Strawberries, whether from early in August to the beginning of Sep-
tember, as soon as the runners of the same season are of sufficient size, or early in the
following Spring. The last is the safest ; but upon the whole, we prefer the former, as in
general the plants will have ample time to establish themselves before Winter, and they can
be ina great measure, if not wholly, protected from the danger of being thrown out by
the alternate freezing and thawing of the ground in the Spring, by covering them on the
approach of frost, with straw or stable litter, and which should always be done. There
are three modes of planting Strawberries. 1. In beds, permitting them to run together ;
2. In rows; 3. In detached hills or stools. In the first mode, the runners which, ia a little
while almost entirely cover the surface of the bed, protect, in a considerable degree, the
fruit from being soiled by contact with the earth, and a greater crop will probably be pro-
duced the second year; but after that they will not thrive as well, as no opportunity is af-
forded to cultivate the ground, and the keeping the beds free from weeds is troublesome.
If planted in beds, the beds should be four feet wide, with three roots of plants, twelve
inches apart each way ; alleys of two or three feet in width being left between the beds for
the convenience of weeding and picking the fruit. In the second mode, the rows are from
eighteen inches to two and ahalf feet asunder, and the plants from nine to eighteen inches
in the rows. Inthe third mode, the plants are generally placed from eighteen inches to two
feet apart. We consider either of the last two modes preferable to the first, as opportunity
is thereby afforded to cultivate, and if necessary, enrich the ground between the plants,
which will also be more fully exposed to the sun, and larger and finer fruit will thereby
be produced. ‘The finest fruit is produced by entirely destroying the runners as fast as they
appear, by cutting them off close to the plant, until they are wanted to form new beds,
which should be every three or four years. A plan which is frequently practised, and which
we highly approve of, is, to plant in rows as aboye, destroy the runners during the first year,
in the Spring of the second year dig and manure the ground between the rows, and per-
mit the runners to grow and fill the intervals, and in the Autumn of that year, turn the
whole of the old rows under with the spade, forming new rows by means of the young
plants which have established themselves, and thus continuing the plantation on the same
ground for many years. If an entire new plantation is made, it is best to change the loca-
tion. The plants should be set out Jate in the afternoon, and immediately well watered ;
and it would be very beneficial to shade them for a few days from the intense heat of the
sun. Care should be taken to keep the Strawberry bed entirely free from weeds; and
straw or grass should be placed between the rows, not only to prevent the fruit from being
soiled by lying on the ground, but to shade the ground from the intense heat of the sun,
and thereby to retain as much moisture as possible. It will also, in a considerable degree,
prevent weeds from growing. Copious waterings in dry weather, before blossoming, and
after the fruit has set, will be very beneficial, tending to enlarge the fruit, and causing
many berries, which would otherwise wither from heat and drought, to mature.
and then the supply is very limited. Their principal value consists in their rarity when there are
no other Strawberries. The White Alpine with runners we consider the best, and well worthy a
place in the border alongside a garden walk. The Bush Alpines are troublesome to cultivate, it being
by division of the roots. 1

42 STRAWBERRIES.
Some persons have become discouraged as to the cultivation of Strawberries, or of par-
ticular varieties, from the failure of crops. This is sometimes caused by ill adaptation of
the soil or situation; sometimes by want of proper cultivation; but most generally from
their not being familiar with the true character of the respective varieties. In some varie-
ties, such as the Woops’ and Avpines’, each blossom contains within itself both male and
female organs, so that fair cropsare invariably produced, but the fruit is small. Some varie-
ties are defective in the male and others in the female organs ; for although each blossom
may be furnished with both stamens or male and pistils or female organs, yet the respective
organs may be so imperfectly developed as not fully, if at all, to answer the purposes of
fructification. In the Meruven Casrre, and in some instances, it is said, in Kren’s Srep-
Line, the male organs are defective ; and such is said to be the case with all good bearers
that produce very large fruit ; and the female organs of Witmor’s Supers Strawberry are
so defective as to render that variety very unproductive. In other varieties again, there
appears to be a complete separation of the sexes, some of the plants being fertile, and
others sterile or barren, or at least comparatively so: that is to say, some producing female
and others male blossoms, only. Of this description are the Haursois, Hupson’s Bay,
Downton, and Btsnor’s OrancE; all producing, when properly treated, good crops of large
and fine fruit. That new and very large and superior variety, Hovrey’s SrEp1ine, is said to
produce female blossoms only. If such be the fact, and it is understood, its value is thereby
enhanced, as all the blossoms may, by very simple treatment, be made to produce fruit,
and it may thus be rendered one of the most productive of Strawberries. At any rate, it
must be classed with those having defective male organs, and be treated in like manner.
The character of the Strawberry being fully understood, there is little or no trouble in
making the finest varieties productive, with the exception of Witmor’s Supers, for which
we apprehend there is no remedy. In the case of defective male organs, the remedy is both
simple and effectual. Plant a bed of those varieties having defective male organs, and
a bed of the Orp Scarter or Earty Virainta, or any other staminate plants (not barren
ones, or those devoid of pistils,) alternately ; or plant a bed of the first description, then a
bed of the Op Scarrer, then two beds of the first description, then again a bed of the
Oxp Scarrer, until the plantation is completed. We particularize the Orp Scarver as
not only answering the purpose intended, but being also a most desirable variety for exten-
sive cultivation.
With respect to those varietiesin which some of the plants produce male and others
femate flowers, the first being the most vigorous by reason of their not bearing, their off
setts are so much moye numerous than those of the latter, that they soon over-run, and
crowd out the fertile or bearing Plants, thus rendering the bed in a great measure, if not
wholly, barren. This evil therefore is remedied by destroying nine-tenths of the male
plants ; the planting in detached stools or in rows, affords the best opportunity of doing so.
It is not difficult to distinguish the male from the female blossoms. The former are gene-
rally the largest and most showy, and are filled with fine yellow stamens, radiating from
around the centre, which in the female blossoms is filled with the heads of the pistils, ap- |
pearing like a small green Strawberry. In forming new beds, care should be taken to
plant out ten females to one male plant; and if the runners are permitted to grow and
take root, the proper proportion can be regulated by clipping off nearly all those pro-
ceeding from the male plants.
In planting out Strawberries, it is injudicious to cut off or mutilate the tops as is fre-
quently done, unless they are extremely luxuriant ; decayed leaves and branches should
of course be removed. Inthe Autumn, if the plants do not appear to thrive well, a little
well rotted manure should be lightly dug in, or some dung laid between the rows, and
the remains removed in the Spring, or forked in; but if the plants are vigorous, this
should not be done, as it makes them run too much to Jeaf. Some eminent cultivators
recommend digging between the rows in the the Autumn to refresh the plants; others
disapprove of it on the ground that the lateral roots are thereby shortened. We think it
would be beneficial where there is ample room between the rows, so that the plants need
not be too closely approached.

44 GOOSEBERRIES.
REMARKS.
The Gooseberry will succeed tolerably well in almost any soil, and often with little or no
care ; but to obtain the largest and finest fruit, a very rich soil and careful culture are
requisite. The soil best adapted to the Gooseberry, is a deep rich loam, rather moist ; and
if resting on a subsoil of clay, it would be the better. Autumnal planting is generally
preferred. The Gooseberry Bush should, as far as practicable, be trained so as to resemble
}a miniature Tree, having a clear stem from eight to twelve inches from the ground, and an}
open, well formed head. ‘The ground around the bushes should be kept free from weeds ;
be well dug, Spring and Autumn; and strongly enriched once a year with well rotted}
manure. The remaining and highly important part of the culture, is the prunine ; for the
most advantageous performance of which it is necessary to bear in mind, that the fruit is
produced on shoots of the preceding year, and on spurs from shoots of two, three, or more
years standing; that the largest and finest fruit is always produced on young wood, and}
especially on shoots of the preceding year; and that as the spurs grow old and increase in
size, the fruit grows smaller, though it increases in quantity. The bushes should be annually
pruned in November or December ; and the head should be kept open or thin of branches, |
‘for the free admission of light and air. All cross growing, crowded, and straggling or
irregular branches, should be cut out close to the old wood; and also the superabundant
lateral shoots of the preceding summer’s growth, retaining such only as are necessary to
supply vacancies. Each year one or more strong young shoots, situated near the formation
of the head, should be left to grow for a succession of young wood, and some of the old
wood cut out. Where any branch is too long or rambling, prune it down to some well]
‘placed eye. Some of the superfluous young laterals instead of being taken off close to the
main branch, may be cut off so as to leave one or two eyes, which will form fruit buds and
spurs, but this should be done sparingly ; and the old shoots should in general be left their
full length, or if shortened it should be very moderately, as the pruning them into a few
eyes, as is*frequently practised, increases the number of new shoots, whereby the head of
the bush will be too much crowded, preventing the free admission of light and air, and|
causing the fruit to be of inferior size and flavor. It would be advisable to go over the
bushes early in the Summer, and stop any superfluous new shoots that it may not be
‘desirable to retain at the regular pruning. The true principles upon which the Gooseberry
should be pruned are, to keep the head open, and to obtain a regular supply of young wood
as a substitute for the old, so that a portion of the bush may be renewed each year, and the
| whole in the course of three or four years.
GoosrPErRRIES are liable to a disease termed m1LpEw, the fruit being covered with a scurf,
and which is ascribed to various causes. Some varieties, and more especially the inferior,
are said to be more subject to it than others. Syringing the plants with lime water, or with
flour of sulphur and water, and planting them in a situation where they will be shaded from
‘the intense heat of the sun, have been recommended as remedies. We find that old and}
mossy plants are more liable to it than young and vigorous ones; and we think the best
preventive is, to encourage the vigorous growth of the plant by keeping the soil well
mellowed and enriched, and by juslicious pruning obtaining a supply of young wood in place
of the old wood, which should from time to time be removed ; and entirely renewing the}
|plant when necessary.

REMARKS.
The same remarks as to soil, growth and culture, apply to the Currant as to the Goosr-
BERRY—(which see)—we do not think however that the soil need be made as rich. If the
quantity of fruit is deemed of more importance than its size, then instead of the long method
of pruning as recommended for the Goosrserry, the short or spux method may be adopted,
and which is as follows: regulate the head by keeping it open or thin of main branches as
directed with respect to the Gooseperry ; keep the main limbs clear of side shoots, by cutting
off at the annual pruning the last summer’s growth to within one or two buds of the limb,
excepting that a shoot may be occasionally left, if required, to fill a vacaney ; and when
the limbs have attained a suitable length, the shoot of the preceding Summer’s growth at
the end of each limb should likewise be cut off to within about two inches of the old wood ;
thus producing an immense number of spurs, which will yield fruit in great abundance.
The old wood should from time to time be renewed as directed with respect to the Goose-
berry ; and after the berries begin to color, the Summer shoots should be cut off five or six
inches above the fruit, which will increase its size and flavor.
(a) This forms from its color a pleasing variety in the garden, and some persons are very partial
to the peculiar flavor ofthe Black Currant. It possesses valuable medicinal qualities—a jelly made
from it being highly recommended for sore throats.

REMARKS.
For the varieties of the Murzerry cultivated for the Table, a deep, rich, moist soil is
to be preferred. The fruit is produced ehiefly on shoots of the same year protruded from
the wood of the preceding year, and on spurs from the two year old wood; both laterals
and spurs being produced mostly at the ends of the branches. From the manner in which
the fruit is produced, and from the Tree being of slow growth, very little pruning is
required ; an occasional thinning out of the branches, for the purpose of strengthening those
that remain, would be advisable, as the size and flavor of the fruit is increased by it. The
size of the fruit is also improved by keeping the soil round the Tree slightly dug and well
manured. For those varieties of the Mulberry cultivated to feed the silk worm, a soil of
moderate fertility, and rather dry than moist, is to be preferred ; as the growth of the Tree
does not continue so late in Autumn, and the wood ripens more perfectly. The cultivation
for that use in hedge-rows is recommended, as not only affording a greater quantity of leaves
in proportion to the ground occupied for the purpose, but on account of the saving of labor ;
the trees being dwarfish, the leaves are more conveniently gathered. In some countries
where the silk culture is prosecuted to a very great extent, the Trees are not suffered to
attain a heigth of more than seven or eight feet ; and sometimes are cut down to near the
ground to increase luxuriance of growth.

REMARKS.
A light loam upon a dry subsoil, and an airy warm situation, are most suitable for the
Fig. Although in this latitude Fig Trees may succeed if planted in a warm situation south
of walls or buildings, in general they require protection from the severity of the Winter.
For this purpose it is advisable to train them as Dwarfs, or against walls. In the former
case young and flexible plants may be bent down and covered with the soil to the depth of
five or six inches; or the lower branches may be so protected; and the central ones, or the
whole of the branches, may be gathered together, and enveloped in mats or straw. If
trained against walls, they may be protected by laying them down and covering them in
like manner, or by hanging mats or branches of Evergreens in front of them. In all cases
of covering them, they should be exposed sufficiently early in the Spring to retard the
bursting of the buds, which, if too long protected, might when uncovered be so far advanced
as to be liable to be cut off by late Spring frosts. The horizontal and pendant mode of
training are recommended, with a view to check luxuriance of growth, that the wood
may ripen. The Fig Tree bears, and in warm climates matures, two crops of fruit each
year ; and under glass, they may be made to produce three or more crops annually. When
grown in the open air in cold climates, all the Figs which are produced after midsummer,
and which in warm climates would form the second and main crop of the year and ripen
during the Autumn, should be removed, inasmuch as they would not ripen, and therefore
unnecessarily exhaust the Tree ; besides which, new buds are then formed, which produce
the crop of the following year. The Fig Tree requires little or no pruning, other than
removing all decayed branches, thinning out too crowded ones, and occasionally shortening
such as are bare of lateral shoots or spurs for too great a distance. If the soil is dry,
watering should be resorted to when the fruit is setting ; for if the roots are too dry at that
time, the fruit is apt to drop off.
Figs may be conveniently cultivated in large pots or tubs, which can be placed in the
cellar during Winter; or in the Green House, if there is one, and may also be cultivated in
the latter. In the Southern and South-western States, the Fig Tree requires no protection,
will flourish with little care, and yield abundant crops of delicious fruit.
As few persons would wish to cultivate more than a dozen varieties, we have selected
that number of the best.

its slender twigs being profusely covered with double pink flowers, resembling small Roses,
before the leaves appear. The Large Dovste Frowerine attains the ordinary size of a
Peach Tree; the limbs should be considerably shortened in the month of July in each
year, for the production of laterals, and consequently the greater quantity of flowers, as
well as to keep the head compact.

REMARKS.
The Fivserr will thrive in almost any soil, but a dry sandy loam is considered preferable.
The plants should be trained to a single stem a foot or two in height, and the head should
be kept very open. The fruit is produced upon the sides and extremities of the upper young
branches, and from small shoots which will put forth from the bases of the side branches
which were cut off the preceding year. The leading shoots should be considerably shortened
every year, and never suffered to attaina greater height than about six feet; and the
branches which have borne fruit should be cut off nearly close to the original stem. When
the tree is in blossom has been recommended as the best time for pruning, as by the shaking
of the tree the pollen is diffused. All suckers should be eradicated, and the stem kept clear
ot shoots.

The Meprar thrives best on a rich loamy soil, rather moist than dry, but not a wet bot-

the branches should be kept thin to produce large fruit. It should be ripened in the house,
and not eaten until very mellow, when it has a peculiar flavor and acidulous taste. Any
common soil will answer for the Persummon and Paraw. The fruit of the former is austere
until ameliorated by frost, when it becomes sweet, though still astringent. 'The fruit of the
Papaw is sweet, and much esteemed by many persons. The Persimmon and Papaw will
form trees of the second class of growth; and the Medlar, though of slow growth, will attain
a height of twenty or more feet. They are all ornamental, and as such worthy of cultiva-
tion.

REMARKS.
Asparacus to be grown large and tender, requires a deep and rich soil, that the plants
may shoot forth vigorously, and a light and friable one that the shoots may readily penetrate
to the surface. If the soil is not naturally light, the addition of sand would be beneficial ;
it should be trenched to the depth of two feet ; and it would be well wholly to remove any
poor soil at the bottom, and to supply its place with that which is good. In trenching, an
abundant supply of well rotted stable manure should be thoroughly incorporated with the
soil; which should not only be made very rich in the first instance, but kept so, by cover-
ing the beds every Autumn with a good coatof stable manure, and forking it lightly in very
early in the Spring. The roots should be planted in beds four and a half feet wide, with
alleys two feet in width between the beds; four rows in each bed; and the plants nine or
twelve inches apart in the row. The proper season for planting is in March or early in
April; the fibres of the roots should be spread out horizontally, and the crowns covered
with two inches of soil. No shoots should be cut until the second Spring after planting ;
and that season very sparingly. It will require one thousand plants to afford a good supply
for a moderate sized family. The Asparagus being naturally a sea-side plant, it has been
recommended to strew salt over the bed every Spring, to increase luxuriance of growth;
and which will tend also to prevent the growth of weeds.
The Ruvupars or Pre Pranr is perfectly hardy, of very easy culture, and makes a most
delicious Tart. It can be used for that purpose much earlier in the Spring than the Goose-
berry or Currant, to both of which it is superior in flavor ; and by cultivating both early and
late varieties, a supply can be obtained for two or] three months. The Rhubarb requires
a deep rich soil, which should be prepared in like manner as for Asparagus. The roots
should be planted in quincunz order, that is to say, the plantation should be laid out in
squares of from five to seven feet, according to the variety planted, the Granr and Myarvt’s
Vicroria requiring more room than the other kinds; and a plant should be placed at each
corner of the square, and one in the centre. The ground should be kept clean, and be well
dug and manured every Autumn; and the flower stems should be cut down as soon
as they appear. A covering of coarse stable manure in the Autumn will cause the plants
to vegetate earlier; and which may be still further accelerated by placing over them early
in the Spring, large flower pots, kegs, barrels, or boxes, and surrounding them with hot
stable manure. For making tarts and pies, the srarxs of the leayes are used; which
should in gathering be bent down and gently twisted off with the hand; and after having
been peeled, cut into small pieces, and then treated in the same manner as gooseberries or
apples. Excellent preserves and jam are also made from the stalks prepared in like manner.

REMARKS.
Hepce Prants.—Some of the varieties of Hedge Plants named in the preceding list, will
answer the purpose of common fencing ; some of them will also serve to protect Gardens
and Orchards from depredation ; others answer for screens, either for purposes of privacy,
to hide from view unsightly objects, or to break off cold winds and afford shelter ; some
are highly ornamental ; and most of them combine the useful and ornamental. We would
particularly advert to the Argor Virm’s, which are not only beautiful, but evergreen, and
answer the valuable purposes of screen and ornament in Winter as well as in Summer.
The Avruea’s make a beautiful ornamental hedge, not only by reason of the natural
symmetry of the Shrub, but from the profusion, brilliancy, diversity, and long duration of
their flowers. By close clipping, especially when young, not only may lateral shoots be
increased and the shrubs rendered bushy to any extent that may be desired, but the natural
beauty of their form may be thereby increased, and their growth restricted for a long
period within such limits as may be desired. The Althea will bear almost as much pruning
as a Currant Bush ; and may be cut down to within a few inches of the ground for the
purpose of forming a new head. It may also in a few years be made to answer the purpose
of a fence, thus combining use with ornament. The Priver or Prim, also makes a very
omamental hedge. It should be clipped very close for a few years, so as to make it grow
as dense as possible, especially at the base. The clipping is done quickly with a pruning or
garden shears. The hedge should be broadest at the base, both sides inclining inward from
aR

the base to the top; the latter may be either square or circular. The Spring is the most
suitable time for clipping; and in July the hedge should again be gone over lightly with the
shears, not only to maintain the desired form, but to force an additional supply of laterals,
The red and white Tarrartan Honeysucktes, which are Shrubs, also make a desirable
ornamental hedge ; and many other erect growing Shrubs, well adapted to that purpose,
may be selected from the lists of Ornamental Shrubs, and Evergreens ; such as the several
varieties of the Double Flowering Hawthorn, the mespilus pyracantha, or Evergreen Thorn,
ete.; and the judicious intermixture of several varieties of appropriate Shrubs, would, from
the diversity of their foliage and flowers, make an interesting appearance. Fences neara
Mansion House are considered objectionable by many ; therefore where indispensable, they
may be screened by ornamental shrubbery, or by covering them with running roses, honey-
suckles, and vines.
Box Epeinc.—Nothing embellishes a piece of ground appropriated for a Garden, more
than edging the walks with Dwarf Box. It emphatically denotes it to be a Garpen ; haS
an appearance of neatness and care ; and also creates a favorable impression as to the taste
of the proprietor. A Kircuen Garden may be made to present a pleasing appearace, and
to afford an agreeable promenade, by walks of suitable width edged with Box, with the
smaller fruits planted alongside ; and more especially if dwarf Fruit Trees or Espaliers,
which are always interesting from their unique appearance, and especially so while in fruit:
are introduced. The most suitable season for planting Box Edging is the Spring. A line
should be stretched as a guide, not only for planting the Box, but for the levelling of the
ground. The plants should be placed sufficiently close to form a tolerably compact edging,
without being crowded; and the tops when clipped, as presently directed, should not be
over two inches above the surface of the ground. The earth should be trodden firmly to
the roots; and if the weather is dry, before they are fully covered they should be well
saturated with water ; and after it has settled, the remainder of the dry soil should be filled
in without packing. Let the tops be then cut as even as possible with a pair of garden
shears; and the edging should be annually clipped to keep it as dwarf and narrow as
possible, sloping it inwards on both sides. The clipping is ordinarily done in the Spring;
but many persons prefer postponing it until June.
SCIONS.
Scions of Frurr Trees for grafting or budding will be supplied at 25 cents per lot of
each kind, such lot to comprise from two to twelve Scions, according to their rareness.
Having transplanted many of our Specimen Trees for better arrangement, headed down
others for the production of a vigorous growth of young wood, and regrafted many old
varieties with improved sorts, we shall be unable to supply scions of Fruit Trees generally
prior to the Winter of 1844, 5, and at that time but to a limited extent ; thereafter we ex-
pect to be able to furnish all the varieties specified in the Catalogue to the extent of demand.
Scions of Grapes, from $4, ts $12 per 100; of Oziers or basket willows from $3, to $5
per 100 ; and of Currants, Gooseberries, Quinces, Figs, Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, ete., at
reasonable prices proportionate to their respective value ; and when a large number of
Scions of the more plentiful sorts of Fruits, ete., are required, they will be furnished at
reduced prices. Not less than 25 cents will be charged for Scions of any kind, however
few may be required. Scions will be carefully packed for distant transportation.

ORNAMENTAL TREES.
To enable purchasers to select Trees whose ultimate size may be best adapted to the
situation and purpose for which they intend them, and appropriately to assort and arrange
them when planted in collections, we have divided deciduous OrNamMENTAL TREES into
three classes. The first class comprises those of the largest growth, forming stately and
majestic trees; the second class those which attain a medium size; and the third class
those of low stature.
The prices named for Ornamental Trees are for young and moderate sized trees of the
respective varieties. Extra sized trees of most of the varieties can be supplied ; and when
it may be desirable to produce speedy effect, or for the purpose of planting in streets or
avenues, very large trees of the most esteemed varieties, such as European Lindens,
Ailantus, Elms, Horse Chestnuts, Silvery Leaved Abele, Maples, Buttonwood, Sycamore,
Paper Mulberry, Catalpa, Willows, Ash, Tulip Trees, Alder, Locust, aud many others,
iH can be supplied, at reasonably proportionate prices.

in profuse clusters, presenting during the autumnal months, from the contrast ef foliage and fruit, a
most beautiful appearance.

| thereby causing the production of laterals, the head may be made to grow as dense as may be desired ;
|and shortening the leader, will tend to make the tree spread more rapidly than it otherwise would.
An Avenue or Park planted with them at the distance of about thirty feet apart, will in a few years
make a magnificent appearance, and afford a promenade effectually sheltered from the rays of the sun.
The European broad-leaved is most used for those purposes, and is a very safe tree to transplant when of
large size.

REMARKS.
Evergreen Trees are very ornamental in Summer, and peculiarly so in Winter, when
they give a cheerful appearance to the scenery without. They will thrive ina poor soil.
They are also valuable as screens, to break off cold winds, ete.
Extra sized trees of the several varieties can generally be supplied, at a reasonable
proportionate advance in price. Small sized plants also at a reduction in price; and both
large and small will be supplied in quantities upon liberal terms.

(b) The Clethra produces numerous spikes of very fragant white flowers.
(c) Beautiful ; golden sub-globular flowers ; flowers profusely in the Spring, and a second time,
though more sparsely, in Autumn.
(d) A most beautiful genus of hardy shrubs; neat in growth, and very beautiful when in flower,
and also when covered with ripe fruit, which it retains for a long time.
(e) The Cytisis are all very beautifuland showy flowering shrubs. The flowers of the Scotch
Broom are of avery brilliant yellow, and very numerous, the branches being covered with them ;
and when not in flower, the plant is beautiful. In this vicinity it requires, while young, a slight pro-
tection in Winter.
(f) The Mezereums are covered with flowers very early in the Spring before the leaves appear,

(g) See page 52, for remarks on this beautiful and very desirable class of Shrubs. They are all per-
fectly hardy, excepting the Double White, which is rather tender in this climate.
(kh) The several varieties of this beautiful Shrub are hardy, with the exception of the hortensis,
which is half hardy, and if wholly unprotected, will die down to the roots in severe winters, springing
up again however in the Spring. We have them 5feet high and spreading in proportion. Latein the
Autumn we gather the branches together, and sheath them with straw ; and before the winter be.
comes severe, put a tight box over them; removing the covering gradually in the Spring. Until
the plants get too large, we find covering them with coarse stable litter to answer the purpose well,
They should be planted in a moist situation, partially shaded: and be kept well watered—wood of
more than three years old should be cut out. Ifpeat or bog mould can be conveniently procured, it
should be freely incorporated with the soil in which they are planted ; more especially as it has been
found to produce the much admired blue, instead of the usual pink color, The intermixture of iron
filings with the soil, and watering with alum water, it is said, will often have that effect. They fre-
quently produce blue flowers naturally when planted in a loamy soil.

(k) This genus of Shrubsis well known. The Persian varieties are much esteemed for the delicacy
of their growth, foliage, and flowers. The flowers of Charles X. are much larger, more compact, and
exceed in brilliancy, those of the common purple lilac.
(2) A very ornamental and showy class of flowering shrubs.
(a) Several varieties of Shrubs botanically classed among Evergreens, in some climates become
sub-evergreen or deciduous; and such is the case here with several of the Andromeda’s, and with
the Photinia. The Andromeda’s flourish best in a peat soil. They are very ornamental and
interesting.
(b) The Tree Box is much admired. It will attain the height of fifteen feet or upwards.

(a) Beautiful climbers, with respect both to foliage and flowers, and very showy. The flowers of
the radicans are large, long, and trumpet-shaped ; reddish orange outside and inside, and the expan-
sion of the mouth, scarlet. The flowers of the minor are smaller, and the scarlet color deeper. The
grandiflora is the most beautiful and showy. The tube of the flower is short compared with the other
varieties ; the expansion of the mouth much greater; the color pale orange outside, and a deep
reddish orange inside with streaks of bright orange ; all the varieties flower in profuse clusters at the
extremity of the branches.
(b) A beautiful perennial variety. The flowers small, pure white, and double. It dies down to the
ground in Winter, and springs up late in the Spring.
(c) The most beautiful of all the hardy deciduous climbers, producing the greatest profusion of
beautiful pale blue flowers in long pendant racemes or clusters. The vine is usually trained toa
trellis. There is one in the Garden of the London Horticultural Society, which eight years since
had a stem eleven feet high from which branches proceeded on one side ninety, and on the other side
seventy feet long, We have one in our Garden, which the last season was the admiration of all
beholders. It is entwined around, and completely covers a cedar pole fourteen feet high, and was
planted six or seven years since. We continually clipped off the ends of the branches so as to restrict
their length to five or six feet. It thus presents the appearance of a close-limbed weeping Tree ; and
it was so profusely covered with the clusters of flowers, that some of the branches did not exhibit a
single leaf. Its unique appearance may be readily imagined. When established, it grows with
extraordinary vigor. It was first introduced into England from China in 1816, and small plants raised
in England, originally sold for six guineas each. It is perfectly hardy here, and would, no doubt,
prove so farther North. It sometimes produces a second crop of flowers.

REMARKS.
For beauty and splendor the Azavra stands in the first rank of Ornamental Shrubs. In
no class of plants has greater improvement been made by cultivation. Individually they
are beautiful ; and when planted in collections, they make a magnificent display from the
| variety and brilliancy of their flowers. _ Those named in the preceding list are perfectly
hardy. We have specimens from six to eight feet high. They require a light rich soil, and
i thrive best in peat earth or vegetable mould ; and a situation somewhat shaded jis to be
| preferred.

ROSES.
SECTION I1.—HARDY GARDEN ROSES.
Tue Rose isso well known, that it scarcely needsa remark. Deservedly esteemed for its
beauty and'fragrance, it has been justly styled the ‘‘ QuEEN or FLowers ;” and the highest
skill of the florist has been exercised to obtain new and improved varieties. The collection
atthis establishment, occupies an acre of ground ; and the Rose Amateur would no doubt be
gratified by a visit when they are in bloom. During the past season, the Proprietors have
carefully supervised them, and corrected some errors which they discovered ; and full re-
liance may be placed upon the general description of the different varieties. In a Nursery
Catalogue the description must necessarily be brief. The particular characteristics of each
variety, and wherein one variety differs from another, when from the general description they
appear to be, if not not precisely, very nearly similar, cannot be given ; not merely because it
would oceupy too much space, but that in many instances it would be impracticable to convey
a precise idea of the difference, which arises from the form, size, and color of the flowers,
and manner of flowering, and also fromthe growth, habit, and general appearance of the plant.
Two or more varieties also, which, from the description of them, would appear to be simi-
lar incolor, will upon comparison, be found quite distinct, the peculiar tint or shade of color
in each being indescribable. We would further remark, that it is often extremely difficult
to determine the peculiar color or tint; for not only will two persons differ in that respect
(as is evinced by the most eminent Rose cultivators in England and in this country, differ-
ing in their description of the color of the same rose,) but the tint itself often varies in the
same flower during the interval of a few hours; and between two flowers on the same
plant from a difference in exposure to the rays of the sun.
All the Roses in this Section are double, and will endure the Winters of any part of the
Union, without protection.

HYBRID CHINA ROSES.
Tuts beautiful division of Roses owe their origin to the crossing of the China, Tea-scent_
ed, Noisette, and Bourbon, with the French, Provence, and other Summer Roses ; the
flowers are of the most elegant forms and colors; the growth of the plants vigorous, and
the foliage of extreme luxuriance. They flower but once inthe season ; but then they give
a long continuance of bloom. They are classed among hardy Roses.

PERPETUAL ROSES.
Tuese are hybrids, between Summer and ever-blooming roses, partaking of the hardi-
hood, fragrance and brilliancy of the former, and to some extent, the successive flowering
qualities of the latter. The name given to this division of roses, is not however to be
construed literally ; they flower in June; most generally a second time in the Autumn;
and sometimes under very high culture may be made to produce three crops of flowers in
aseason. To cause them to flower in perfection, they require the soil to be kept very rich,
and entirely free from grass and weeds, when the profusion and brilliancy of their flowers
will well repay the trouble of cultivation.

NOISETTE ROSES.
A most desirable class of Roses, the original of which was raised from seed of the Musk
Rose which had been fertilized with the common China Rose, affording a perpetual
succession of flowers which are produced in profuse clusters. From the luxuriant growth
of many of the varieties, they are well adapted for training as pillar roses, or on trellises or
arbors, in which form, or as tree or standard roses, they appear to the best advantage.
Most of the varieties are sufficiently hardy to stand the Winter in this climate ; but it is
advisable to afford them some protection.

Broomine very early, and affording a continued succession of flowers from May until late
in the Autumn, the beautiful varieties of the Rose specified in this section are very
desirable acquisitions to every flower garden. Although in moderate Winters, or in warm

TEA-SCENTED CHINESE ROSES.
Tur Roses comprised in this division are in the highest esteem for the beauty, delicacy
of color, and exquisite and peculiar odor of their flowers. They are rather more tender in
habit than the common China Roses, and in this vicinity require to be well protected during
Winter. Like the common China roses they afford a continued succession of flowers: and
are deservedly esteemed as parlor ornaments. To the Green House and Conservatory, they
|are indispensable.

TREE OR STANDARD ROSES.
TueEsE are budded on strong stocks, 3 to 5 feet from the ground, present the appearance
of miniature trees, and are highly ornamental. Many varieties bloom more freely, and pro-
duce larger flowers, when thus budded on vigorous growing stocks, than when grown as
dwarfs ; the head being elevated, the flowers show to better advantage ; and they are pre-
vented from being soiled, as is often the case, by the drooping of the branches to or near
the ground. The choicest varieties of Summer, Moss, Perpetual, Noisette, and ever-bloom-
ing Roses, thus budded, can be supplied, at from $1 to $1.50 each ; and very choice extra
sized trees, $2 each.

REMARKS ON ROSES:
A ureut rich soilis the most'suitable for roses The hardy varieties may be’planted either
in the Spring or Autumn, unless in cold and wet situations, when the Spring is to be pre-
ferred ; and the latter is the proper season for planting those varieties which are somewhat
tender. To obtain flowers in their greatest perfection, the soil should be annually enriched,
and the Tree or bush annually pruned. In most varieties of roses, the largest flowers are
produced on young wood ; therefore some of the old wood should every year be cut out ;
and in addition thereto, the young wood should be considerably shortened, according to the
vigour of the Tree; and some of the young wood should be entirely removed, when the
head is too dense, orif necessary, to give it asymmetrical shape. Scotch and climbing
roses, and sweet briars, require merely that their shoots should be thinned out ; they should
seldom if everbe shortened. The hardy kinds of roses may be pruned either in the Spring
or Autumn; one of the most eminent rose growers in Europe prefers the latter period: in
severe climates, we should rather prefer the Spring ; at which season the tender kinds should
be pruned. As before remarked, Perpetual Roses require a very rich soil; and which is
also recommended for pillar and arborroses. The decayed flowers of the Noisette, Perpetual
and ever blooming roses, should be promptly cut off. Protection in Winter may be given to
those varieties which require it, as follows: if dwarfs, they may, late in the autumn, be
cut down to within afoot or two of the ground, and loosely covered with stable litter, hay,
straw, or branches of evergreens. If climbers, they may be laid down and covered in like
manner; andif standards, the heads can be pruned, and the whole tree covered with a mat
or sheathed with straw. The tea-scented roses should be protected by boxes, or by a tem-
porary frame of boards. Standard roses should be supported by stakes, and it is advisable
early inthe Spring to lay on the surface of the ground round their stems a considerable
quantity of manure, not only to enrich the soil, but to screen the roots from the intense
heat of the sun, and prevent the rapid evaporation of moisture from the earth. The un-
sightly appearance of the manure may be obviated by covering it with moss from a swamp
or from the woods. All suckers from the roots, and side buds from the stocks of Standard
Roses should be removed; and scraping and soaping the bark of the stems would be
i beneficial, and, with close pruning, very materially tend to promote the longevity of the Tree.
In many situations a very pleasing effect may be produced by permitting climbing roses
to ramble over the ground. They grow with increased vigor when the shoots are prostrate,
and which will often extend 12 or 15 feet in a season; and though planted some distance
apart, they may be made to cover a large space of ground in a few years, by laying in the
ground the ends of the most vigorous shoots, which will take root and form new plants.
Training them, and also Honeysuckles, flowering vines and creepers, up trees, hasa very pic-
turesque appearance.
P EHONIES. Sl
PHONIES.
No plants are of easier culture than Paonirs ; none more beautiful and showy than the
herbaceous varieties; and none more splendid than the Tree or Shrubby Peonies, which
will attain the height of five or six feet. A collection of several varieties makes a brilliant
display when in bloom, which will last altogether for several weeks. They are all perfectly
hardy. We have reduced the prices one third to one half ; and a liberal discount from the
present prices will be made when a quantity is desired.

Tue collection at this establishment of this interesting class of flowers, so much esteemed
for their delicacy, beauty, and exquisite fragrance, comprises not only very superb varie- |}
ties, but such only as are really choice; and the accuracy of the descriptions may be relied |}
upon. They require protection in Winter; to afford which, in October they may be taken
up with a ball of earth, and planted in a common hot-bed frame. They should be mode-
rately watered, and shaded for a few days; and should be uncovered or aired whenever}}
the weather will permit. Dampness is to be guarded against as much as possible. They
thrive best in a light rich loam, rather sandy than otherwise.
When 12 or more varieties are ordered, a reduction of 25 per cent. from the prices named
will be made.

REMARKS.
Tue Iris derives its name from the beauty and variety of its colors. Both plant and
flower are unique in appearance. A light sandy soil suits them best; and all the culture
lrequired, is to keep the ground clear of weeds, and loosen the earth in the Spring. They
‘are all hardy, and very showy.

REMARKS.
Many persons are deterred from cultivating flowers, on account of the trouble attending
it. Were they aware of the great beauty and splendor of many varieties of perennial
herbaceous plants, that when once planted, they endure for years, and that the cultivation
of them is attended with very little trouble, they would no longer be deprived of the gratifi-
cation which they might enjoy at a trifling expense either of money or labor.
Herbaceous plants should generally be planted in clusters of three or more, rather than
singly, so as to form a mass of flowers; ample space being left between the clusters to allow
for the growth of the plants, and for working between the clusters with the hoe, thereby
avoiding the necessity of the troublesome operation of hand weeding. They also thus
present a more imposing appearance. All the culture required, is to keep the ground clear
of weeds with the hoe, and every Spring to dig it up with the spade, or loosen it witha
garden fork ; excepting that it would be advisable every two or three years to take up the
/fibrous rooted plants, divide, and replant them, at the same time enriching the soil a Jittle.
|The plants will thrive the better for it, and the stock will be thereby increased ; and if
more plants are wanted, it may be done every year. Many varieties of perennial herbaceous
plants die down to the roots in the Winter, and spring up again in the Spring, some of them
very late ; and it is therefore necessary to drive into the ground alongside of them a stick
or tally to designate their location, so as to avoid injuring their roots when digging or
forking up the ground in the Spring. Many of the early flowering fibrous rooted varieties,
if cut down immediately after flowering, will flower a second time the same season.
(k) The Spireza’s are very ornamental plants.

MEDICINAL AND CULINARY PLANTS.
Tue several varieties of Plants used for Family Medicinal and Culinary purposes are so|
well known, that it is deemed unnecessary to specify them. Reference, if necessary, can
|be had to our former Catalogue, or to those of our predecessors in this establishment.
| They will be furnished at prices varying from 10 to 25 cents each, according to the variety ;
with a considerable reduction in price when a quantity is desired.
DOUBLE DAHLIA.
Tus magnificent flower is well known, and duly appreciated for its beauty and splendor.
Its cultivation however, has not been commensurate with its merits, owing to two causes:
first, to the high prices charged for the plants by propagators generally ; and secondly to the,
imposition which has been frequently practised with respect to them. The great competi-|
tion which of late years has existed among the growers in England in raising new varieties,
has caused such vast improvement in their beauty, that, with but very few exceptions, |
those varieties only which have originated within the last four or five years, are now|
deemed worth cultivating ; yet some propagators make a pompous announcement of several
hundred varieties, of very many of which the cultivation was commenced by them some
ten or fifteen years since, and which now are not considered by those who know them,
actually worth garden room. The whole number of sufficiently distinct, and of what are.
now considered really fine varieties, does not much, if at all,exceed 150. The finest variety |
occupies no more space in the garden than the poorest ; no person would wish to purchase |
very inferior varieties at the value of superior ones; and the selection from a list of several,
hundred varieties without a precise knowledge of them, is very much like a lottery, three
or more blanks to a prize : and but few persons would wish to cultivate inferior varieties,
merely for the sake of number, or for their being nominally distinct, when there really is.
no greater difference between many of them, than frequently occurs between two flowers|
on the same plant. The Proprietors therefore intend to reform this branch of the Nursery
business in two particulars ; first, to cultivate a /imited number of varieties, and those only
which are really choice ; discarding, as they introduce new and really superior varieties,
some of those which are surpassed by them ; and secondly, to reduce prices for really valua-|
ble varieties, to an average of one-third of those heretofore and now charged by some other |
propagators. In corroboration of the preceding remarks, we would observe, that a vaunting |
American Catalogue for 1843, of several hundred sptenpip varieties of Dahlia’s, comprises
37 of ““ Wipnatv’s,” that is to say, of varieties originated by one of the most eminent
| Dahlia growers in England ; while Mr. Widnall’s own Catalogue of March 1843 contains
six only of those varieties, he having himself discarded the remaining thirty-one.
We would caution the public against a deception frequently practised, that of giving new |
names to old varieties. We would also remark, that the English Horticultural Periodicals
contain descriptions of the new Dahlia’s which have taken the premiums at the annual
| prize exhibitions ; and the names of such new varieties may be given to old sorts, the general
and brief description of which appears to correspond with those of the new; and thus
| spurious new varieties may be obtained before the genwine are disseminated in England,
and without paying extravagant prices for the latter; and the advantage derived of ac-
quiring cetebrity for first having new varieties, and also of disposing of surplus old stock at
| high prices.
The Proprietors will supply choice varieties of the Dahlia (of which a separate Catalogue
will be issued) at the following reduced prices.—
12 varieties, $4 50——24 do. $8——50 do. $15——100 do. $25.
The Dancia will thrive in almost any soil, but flourishes most in a light rich loam, which
should be well worked. Stake the plants, and tie up the branches as they proceed in growth.
As soon as the frost has blackened the tops, eut them off about three inches from the ground,

and a few days thereafter take up the roots, and after drying them for a few days, put them
in boxes or barrels of dry sand, and place them im a dry cellar or other place where the
frost cannot reach them. Much damp should be guarded against. In the Spring the roots
may be divided, leaving an eye and a portion of the tubers to each plant ; and planted out
as soonas all danger of frost is past. Dry roots are furnished from the latter part of Octo-
ber until May, properly packed for safe transportation any distance ; and growing plants in
small pots from the middle of April until June, and which can be safely transported any
reasonable distance.
BULBOUS AND TUBEROUS-ROOTED
FLOWERS, AND MISCELLANEOUS.
FLOWERING PLANTS.
To speeify the several varieties of the extensive collection of bulbous, tuberous-rooted,
and miscellaneous flowering plants cultivated at this establishment, and not herein before
named, would not only swell this Catalogue to an inconvenient size for transmission by
mail, but would of themselves comprise a very extensive one. We purpose as soon as
convenient to publish a separate one, only referring generally to the principal sorts in the
present Catalogue. The collection of Bulbs, etc. is not only very extensive, but comprises
the most choice and splendid varieties, and the prices for which are unusually moderate.
