PREFACE. 1 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 —— ae # 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. oe: ae PREFACE. 3 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 a ge ES —— 4 PREFACE. 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. oe 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. eee ee ee ee eS aS % —_ 6 PREFACE. 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. a oe xe 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. e— = KR 14 PEARS.

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. PEARS. 14) No. NAME, Color. Form.

See, Nelis, Winter 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 & a8 oe 98 | 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. # CHERRIES.—Prunus cerasus.

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.

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. 9 : APRICOTS. 29 APRICOTS .—Pruns armeniaca.

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. a a6 en ——" SS ee 30 NECTARINES. NECTARINES —Amygdalus nectarina. Price 375 CENTS EACH.

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 straggling growth of the limbs frequently bare of shoots for some distance from the body of the tree—which not only has an unsightly appearance, but they are more exposed to action from high winds, thereby causing the fruit to fall—upon the trees being planted out, shorten R= a —iseran aa = ——— ————————————— 5 # oA | PEACHES. 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} <== early in May, forming around the trunk of the tree a conical round to the height of nine or|| twelve inches from the surface of the earth, of unleached ashes, of charcoa] broken small, |} Le wee tS 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 — ex 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. GRAPES. THE COLUMNS EXPLAIN— 1. Nursery Numer. 2. Names and Synonyms.

P. Sweet. 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. eS Se. 4 38 RASPBERRIES.

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. of xR ¥ RASPBERRIES. 39 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. a: -* 40 STRAWBERRIES. 13 14 15 STRAWBERRIES. NAME.

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 6 6 [ve o) 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. 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.

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. 46 MULBERRIES.—FIGS. MULBERRIES. FS COMMON NAME. Botanical Name. Price Each.

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.

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. ALMONDS. = COMMON NAME, Botanical Name. Price Each.

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. # os of MEDLARS, PERSIMMON, PAPAW, ETC. 49 MEDLARS, PERSIMMON AND PAPAW. 2 COMMON NAME. Botanical Name. Price Each.

The Meprar thrives best on a rich loamy soil, rather moist than dry, but not a wet bot- tom. It produces its fruit on spurs, and requires little pruning after the head is formed ; but 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. —- BERBERRIES. iE COMMON NAME. Botanical Name.

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. = —— #& 52 HEDGE PLANTS AND BOX EDGING. HEDGE PLANTS, AND BOX EDGING. PRICE. NAME. pe Nes eR st Per 100. Per 1000.

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 er: 4 HEDGE PLANTS AND BOX EDGING.—SCIONS. 53 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. PART SECOND. ORNAMENTAL TREES, SHRUBS, VINES, PLANTS, evc. 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. hits 5 vi No. COMMON NAME.

The tree is of handsome form and foliage ; but its chief beauty consists in its brilliant red or scarlet berries, which it produces in profuse clusters, presenting during the autumnal months, from the contrast ef foliage and fruit, a most beautiful appearance. (s) Ought to be included in every collection, for the peculiarity, delicacy, and color of its foliage. (t) Of majestic stature, beautiful form, and naturally compact head, the Linpen or Lime Tree stands pre-eminent in Europe as a shade tree for avenues and public walks, and as an vrnament to | Royal Gardens and the Parks of the nobility. By shortening the branches for a few successive years, | 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. (wu) Of quick growth; dark foliage.

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. ORNAMENTAL 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. of ORNAMEN TAL SHRUBS. 61 S@———— No. COMMON NAME.

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. VINES AND CREEPERS.—AZALEAS. 65 z COMMON NAME. Botanical Name.

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. a xe 68 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. i | No. NAME.

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. No. NAME. Description.

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 situations, the most of them will remain uninjured in this vicinity, we would recommend in all cases that some protection be given to them. No. NAME.

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. No. NAME.

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. a = 80 ROSES. 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. s COMMON NAME. Botanical Name.

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. Lao eK ¥ —— 3 MEDICINAL AND CULINARY PLANTS, ETC. 91 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, 92 DOUBLE DAHLIA, ETC. 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. NAMES. Price Each.
