PREPARATION OF THE Grounv.—To secure a fair return in season- able crops, for the labor and outlay invested, it is essential that the g0il of the Vegetable Garden should be well under-drained, thoroughly trenched or subsoiled, and enriched by a judicious application of fertilizing ‘naterial. It is still the current opinion, based on experience, that for all purposes, well composted barn-yard manure, when available, is the best material. We do not deny, however, that several of the concen- trated manures, now manufactured, are useful and convenient, especi- ally for a succession of crops. The exposure of a garden has much to do with the early maturity of the crops; an exposure to the morning sun is desirable. The soil must be in a friable state to secure the prompt vegetation of the seeds, - and the destruction, or rather, prevention of weeds, is one of the most desirable results of frequent stirring of the surface. Soils are susceptible of alteration and improvement in texture; heavy clays can be rendered open and porous, and light sandy soils may be con- solidated and rendered more retentive of moisture. For all such details we must refer the amateur to more extensive treatises on these subjects. GarpDEN Requisites.—There are several aids to the economical management of the garden, which are almost indispensable; one of these is the HoT-BED frame for the forwarding of plants for eariy planting. A frame, such as is shown in the cut, may be made of vari- ous sizes, according to the size of garden, from four sashes upwards. The length of sash is generally seven feet, by three and a half wide, the gize of glass six by eight inches, making the entire frame of four sashes, fourteen by seven feet. The frame should have a southern or south- eastern exposure, should be made up with fresh horse manure and a 4 DREER’S GARDEN CALENDAR. few leaves mixed with it: this must be laid in a heap preparatory to being used, and when in a proper state of fermentation, prepared for the reception of the frame. A few inches of rich loamy soil must be spread over the manure, then cover the frame with the sashes and after standing a few days to allow the rank heat and steam to pass off, the seed can be sown. Where the ground is well drained, a better plan is to dig out a space the size of the frame, from one to two feet deep, ac- cording to the season and the heat required, in which the manure is placed, care being taken to pack it firmly and evenly. In addition to the Hot-bed frame, mats or shutters will be required to cover the sash during cold days and nights. To work the garden, the necessary implements—spade, fork, shovel, rakes, hoes, trowel, garden-line and reel, watering pot, and wheelbarrow are the most important. Rotation oF Crops.—We are convinced of the importance of a regular rotation of the Esculent crops. ‘To convey the idea briefly, we present a diagram of the garden as laid out to secure this result. BORDER A,B,C & D. Four compartments in which to plant various crops, alternately, a to ¢., small compartments round the border for nursing plants, sweet herbs, and setting out permanent beds of Asparagus, Artichoke, Rhubarb, &c. Theborder facing South, should be protected on the North side by a close board fence or wall, and will be found useful for sowing early Radish, Lettuce, Beets, &c., and setting out Tomatoes, Egg-plunts, &c. The waved line represents a grape treilis; the entrance is at E. This plan may be carried out in a gar¢cen of greater or less extent.

Remarks on the Failure of Seeds. ‘From a conviction that the Seedsman’s fair reputation is often unjustly defamed, through the failure of seeds, we would with brevity state some of the causes: 1. That some cultivators, through ignorance or forgetfulness of the fact, that the products of a garden being natives of various soils and climates, require peculiar management, deposit their seeds in the ground at an improper season. To aid such, we have prepared brief directions, founded on practical experience in the vicinity of Phila- delphia, where gardening operations are generally commenced early in March. These directions may, however, be applied to all other parts of the United States, by a minute observance of the difference in temperature. «Thus, to the North, the directions for March will apply to April; and at the South, to January, February or whatever season gardening operations may commence in the respective States. The early and most hardy species and varieties should not be planted until the ground can be brought into good condition, as some species of plants that in an advanced stage of growth will stand a hard winter, are often cut off by a very slight frost while young, especially if exposed to the sun after a frosty night. «2. That some species of seeds, such as Beans, Beet, Cabbage, Lettuce, Radish, Salsify, Turnip, &c., being from their nature, apt to vegetate quickly, are often destroyed while germinating, through vari- ableness of the weather, and some are liable to be devoured by insects in forty-eight hours after they are sown, and before a plant is secn above ground, unless a suitable remedy is applied in time to annoy the insects. ‘¢3. That some species, as Carrot, Celery, Leek, Onion, Parsley, Parsnip, Spinach, &c., being naturally of tardy growth taking (in unfavorable seasons) from two to three or four weeks to vegetate, are apt to perish through incrustation of the soil, or other untoward and unavcountable circumstances, which cannot always be controlled. “4. That the failures often occur through Seeds being deposited too deeply in the ground, or left too near the surface. Sometimes, for want of sufficiency of Seed ina given spot, solitary plants will perish, they not having sufficient strength to open the pores of the earth, and very frequently injudicious management in manuring and preparing the soil will cause defeat.” For instructions on these and any other subjects of Gardening, the reader is referred to ‘“‘Bridgeman’s American Gardener’s Assistant,”’ or ‘‘ Burr’s Garden Vegetables.” Extract.—‘‘Some Gardeners raise Egg Plants, &c., in the same hot- bed frame with Cabbage, and such other half hardy plants as require air every mild day; by such management one or the other must suffer for want of suitable aliment—heat being the principal food of tender plants, and air that of the more hardy species. DREER’S GARDEN CALENDAR. f( “Tn the sowing of seeds, remember that in unity there is strength, and that from the germinative parts of a Seed being weak and diminutive, it cannot be expected to perforate through the soil solitarily and alone. To insure a fair chance, plant your seeds moderately thick, and thin out the surplus plants while young. In planting Seeds in drills, which is the most eligible plan, the size of the Seed and strength of its germ should be considered; large seeds producing vigorous roots, require deeper planting than diminutive Seeds, producing delicate roots and slender stocks. SEEDS BY MAIL, Under the new Posta! law, Seeds, cuttings, bulbs, &c., can be mailed in paper packages not exceeding four pounds in weight, at the rate of “two cents for each four ounces or fraction thereof: this arrangement offers great facilities to persons residing at a distance of procuring reliable and pure Seeds, at a very trifling cost for transportation, as we will mail all orders for Seed in papers or by the ounce,) Beans, Peas, and Corn excepted,) amounting to one dollar or upwards, free of post- age charges. When ordered by the pound or quart, eight cents addi- tional per lb. or fifteen cents per qt. must be added to the price of the Seeds. A postagestamp must accompany all orders under one dollar. To‘insure prompt attention, aremittance must accompany the order. Correspondents will please write out their names legibly, with Post Office, County, and State. ~<— Descriptive List of Vegetable Seeds. For the convenience of purchasers the Seeds are put up in papers of five, ten, and twenty-five cents each. Those quoted at thirty cents per ounce and upwards, in not less than ten cent papers. French, Spanish, and German names follow after the English, to each ‘class of vegetables. ARTICHOKE, Artichaut, Fr. Alcachofa, Span. Artischoken, Gur. Large GREEN GLOBE, per oz. 50 cts.

The Lima Beans are very suscep- tible of cold and wet, and apt to rot in the ground, and should not be planted until the season is fayorabie and the ground warm. Fix poles in the ground, four feet apart each way, and plant four to six beans about an inch deep around each pole. A shovel-full of rich, light and well rotted compost to each hill would be beneficial. They may be forwarded much earlter by sprouting them ina frame, under glass, and planting them out when the weather becomes mild, as they bear transplanting without any difficulty. The Horticultural and Geran Wax Bean are superior varieties, either as snap shorts or shelled. “ GIANT WAX BEANS. The Editor of the American Agriculturist, in November number, 1866, notices this valuable variety thus: “Grant Wax Beans.—Under the above name we have received a sample of Beans, from Mr. Henry A. Dreer, Seedsman, Philadelphia. The pods are from 6 to 9 inches long, thick and fieshy, of a pale yellow color, and waxy appearance. The seedsarered. The peculiarity about this variety is, that its pods, even when full grown, are perfectly tender, and may be ‘used as Snap Beans. We have tried them, both separately and in suceotash, and consider them really delicious. The variety is a pole or running Bean; its origin is unknown, but wherever it came from, we welcome it as a valuable addi- tion to our list of varieties.” Fearing Burr, Esq., the author of the ‘¢ Vegetables of America,” in a recent letter, speaks thus of this variety :—‘‘ As I promised, I have given the GiantWax Bean a fair trial, and am happy to say that it has proved everything you claimed it to be. When the plants were in full perfection, the poles displayed a mass of fine large waxen-white pods, from the tops to the bottom. On our table, the quality compared favorably with the Indian Chief (German Wax Bean,) which is high commendation. From the experience of a single season, I should pronounce ita decided acquisition. It must prove a valuable sort to the Market Gardener, on account of its remarkable productiveness; and its tender texture Hi H HH tatty i !

When the plants are large enough to transplant, pick them out of the seed bed, into frames. Protect the plants during severe weather, with a covering of boards, observing to give them plenty of air and light during mild weather. They may also be raised by sowing the seed very early in thespring, in hot-beds—afterwards plant out in deep and well-manured ground, in rows eighteen inches- apart and twelve inches distant in the rows. The autumn and winter sorts, sow in April or early in May, ina moderately shaded border, in shallow drills, three or four inches apart. Transplant early in July, in rows thirty inches apart, and about two feet apart in the rows. Cabbage succeeds best in a fresh, rich soil, well manured and deeply dug or plowed. The late plants are subject to attacks of the cabbage fly, destroying them as fast as they appear above ground. Various remedies are recommended for the preserva- tion of the plants, such as sprinkling them with ashes, air-slack lime, plaster, or tobacco, which should be performed early in the morning. A solution of whale-oil soap is also recommended. CAULIFLOWER. “ Chou Fleur, Fr. Coliflor, Span. Blumen Kohl, Ger.

In about four or five weeks afterwards the plant should be pricked out into another bed, at the distance of four inches from each other every way: these should be encompassed with garden frames, covered with glass sashes, and boards or shutters. The beds must be so secured, and the tops of the beds so covered as to keep out all frost, giving them light and air every mild day throughout the winter. Transplant in April into a bed of the richest earth, in the garden, at a distance of two feet anda half each way. Keep them well hoed, and bring the earth gradually up to their stems. The late variety matures in the autumn, and is sown and managed similarly to Cape Broccoli, but are not so certain to succeed in this climate. DREER’S GARDEN CALENDAR. 13 CARROT. Carotte, Fr.

Egg-plant seed will not vegetate freely without substantial heat, and if the plants get the least chilled, in the earlier stages of growth, they seldom re- cover. Kepeated sowings are sometimes necessary. ENDIVE, per oz. 30 cts. Chicoree, FR. Endivia, Span. Endivian, GER.

The Silver Skin and Yellow Strasburg are grown in this vicinity, as northern grown seed cannot be depended upon to raise good sets. For sets, sow the seed early in the Spring, very thickly, in beds or drills. As soon as the tops die off in the summer, remove them toa dry airy place; and early in the following Spring re-plant in rows about four inches apart, the rows wide enough apart to admit of hoe- ing. The Onions, by this process are obtained of a large size early in the season. They may bereared to full size during the first season, by sowing in drills early in March, in strong land, and thinning them out to stand two or three inches apart, keeping them well hoed: for this purpose the Red Wethersfield is usually preferred. 20 DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR. - ONION SETS.

SowinJune, or early in July, in drills two feet apart, and thin out to stand six inches apart—keeping the ground well stirred and clear of weeds. As Turnipsare grown principal- ly for consumption during the winter and early spring, a few brief hints for their preservation is necessary. Take up the roots in November, cut off the tops within an inch of the crown. Those for winter use can be stored away ina cool cellar or pit, and covered over with a few inches of dry earth. For early spring use, pile up in conical form, out of doors, cover carefully with long straw, and finish by earthing up, covering them with about 12 or 15 inches of earth; leave a vent or air-hole, by placing a bunch of straw in the top. Put away in this manner, they will be found in good condition in the spring. “DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR. 20 AROMATIC, SWEET AND MEDICINAL HERBS. Per paper, 10 cts. ANISE. CELERY, for flavoring. *MuInT.

GUODRICH’S SEEDLING POTATOES. These highly valuable new seedling potatoes, were raised by the late Rev. Chauncey E. Goodrich, Chaplain of the New York State Lunatic Asylum, at Utica, N.Y. He spent 15 years in experimenting upon the production of new varieties, and raised over sixteen thousai seedlings, of which he esteemed the Harrison and the Harly Goodrich (which are twin brothers, and seedlings from the Cuzco,) as the very best Tue Harrison is a white winter variety of high quality and beauty, unequalled in productiveness by any known kind. Mr. Goodrich stated that he had raised at the rate of 600 bushels per acre, when only three years from the seed ball. Price $4 per bushel. $1.25 per peck. Tue Harity Goopricu is the very best and most productive very early potato known. It keeps equally well with the Harrison, and has re- peatedly yielded over 350 bushels per acre. Price $3 00 per bushel. $1.00 per peck. Cuzco, large, long, white skin and flesh, deep eyes. Matures about September 15th. Yield very largely, 800 to 490 bushels per acre.— Keeps well. Very profitable for market and stock. $2.50 per bushel. I also offer the Wuire Sprout, a white-skinned, and white- fleshed potato, very early and popular in the Philadelphia market.— It is largely grown in New Jersey, and highly esteemed there, asa profitable market variety. $2.50 per bushel. CULTIVATION. Select strong sod ground, (clover preferred) or a strong dry loam; manure well and plow and subsoil late an the fall—a sod ploughed in spring is not favorable to early potatoes. In Spring again plow, subsoil, harrow, roll and mark out, 3 ft. each way, as for corn. Use only good sound tubers of large size and plant them whole, six inches deep, dropping a good handful of wood ashes, slaked lime, plaster and bone dust or superphosphates, with a little salt, on each potato. Tan bark and green sand marl are also good. By no means use fresh stable manure; it increases the crop but is apt to engender disease. Whole potatoes are to be preferred to cut ones. Mr. Goodrich says, ‘‘In the use of a single moderate sized uncut tuber for seed I have often grown 15 pounds to the hill.” Cultivate often, as shallow and flat as possible, and keep the ground entirely clear of weeds during the whole season. Never hill up the crop ; it causes a large growth of small potatoes. Shallow planting has the same effect. Gather in dry weather and dry the potatoes well, under cover, before storing which should be done in a cool, airy, rather dark cellar or in pits in the open ground, or heavily banked up with earth. yes In storing use one pint of freshly slaked lime, in powder, per bushel of potatoes. It will effectually check any tendency to rot, FLOWER GARDEN, Although to the mere economist, flowers are not indispensable or directly remunerative, yet they have become so to the civilized, intelli- gent and intellectual community in which we live. The most humbie cottager, unless deficient in the most simple conceptions of beauty, must have his flower-pot and one or more varieties of flowers. ‘The entlu- sias\ic amateur is no longer content to receive his foricultural novelties at second hand, but must have them direct from the great Huropean centres of Horticulture. We have latterly endeavored to render this necessity of the amateur importing a few seeds or plants unnecessary, by constant attention to obtain every highly recommended novelty, and after testing it, to offer it with our opinion ofits merits. We shall con- tinue to do this, and shall endeavor to have, at the earliest day, every valuable acquisition in seeds, bulbs or plants. Little pains are taken to have the soil of the flower-beds and borders in a friable and active state, not subject to bake. This is what renders it so difficult for small flower-seeds to survive germination, and for the delicate transplanted annuals to make a start. All that the flower- border or beds require, is a dry bottom, with an annual supply of pre- pared compost, made up of barn-yard manure, leaf-mould, or decayed leaves from the woods, and such other refuse as may appear suitable to enrich the heap. With different soils, special applications will be neces- sary, as stated under the head of Vegetable Garden. ‘The hot-bed fraine as there described, will serve for the purpose of the Flower Garden.— The only additional requisites are flower-pruning scissors, stakes for tying up plants, labels and flower-pots. TE Lawy, which adds so much to the neatness of the Garden, may be extensive or limited in size, but should always be weil prepared and neatly kept. Much of the beauty of the lawn is also due to the variety of grass seed sown. The usual practice has been to employ a mixtwe of several species, which is prepared for sale. Our Lawn grass mixture consists of five varieties, viz.: Sweet Vernal, Green Grass, Blue Grass, Herd Grass and White Clover. From one and a half to two bushels is the quantity generally sowntotheacre. Persons who prefer adifferent_ mixture, can have it made up to order. The Flower-beds may be cut out in the lawn, and in these, bedding plants from the green-house planted, as soon as the weather becomes suitable; also, choice annuals sown. The following brief directions will be found reliable. 30 ee vee 36 DREER’S GARDEN CALENDAR. Directions for the Sowing and Management of Flower Seeds. Provided the soil is in a proper state. flower seeds may be sown in the open border, in the months of April and May; the best criterion is the state cf the soil. The seeds should be sown as soon as the soil becomes dry and friable, after the spring frosts have disappeared. Care should be taken not to sow in a crowded border, as light and air are indispensa- ble. They may also be sown in prepared beds, to be transplanted to the garden. The former is the more simple method, but not always satis- factory, as, during the interval between the sowing of the seed and the period of blooming, the ground occupied is not attractive. Thechanges of climate, heavy rains and drying winds, with hot sun, render the surface of the soil unfit for the germination of small seed. As tothe depth to which seeds should be covered, the best general rule is to cover fine and light seeds very lightly, just enough to protect them from the sun; and in extremely dry weather, a sprinkling of damp moss is very useful. Several varieties are so tender as to neduize special attention, such as the Calceolaria. Many annuals are very desirable for the green house, when sown in August. Of these the most important are Sweet Alyssum, Candytuft, Mignonette, Lobelia, Schizanthus, German Stocks, Browalliaand several others; these are for winter blooming. Many varieties, as well asthe above, may be sown later, for blooming early in spring, such as Pansy, Ageratum, Antirrhinums, China Pink, Dianthus Heddewegii, Laciniatus and Sinensis, Acroclinium Roseum, Linum Grandiflorum, Mimulus, Myosotis, Petunias, Phlox Drummondii, Salpiglossis, Verbena, &c. For sowing in pots, or seed-pans, the following directions will be found suitable: The best soil is a mixture of equal parts of sand, leaf-mould and loam, which should be thoroughly mixed; then fill your pots or boxes to within one-half inch of the rim; press the soil firmly and evenly in the pot, which can be done most conveniently with the bottom of an empty flower-pot; then sow your seed evenly over the surface, and, with the addition of a little more sand in the same soil, cover the seeds according to their size, say from one-eighth to one-quarter of an inch, then press the soil as before, even and firm, with the bottom of a flower-pot; waiter sparingly, enough to keep the soil moist, avoiding either extreme. As soon as the plants appear, they will require your careful attention, as the least over-watering may cause them to ‘‘damp off,” and suddenly destroy all your hopes. They should now have as much sun as possible, and when the weather is pleasant, some air may be admitted. As soon as the plants are large enough to handle, pick them out of the seed-pot: in other words, transplant them into another pot, placing them about one inch apart; they must be shaded for a few days from the sun, until they are established. When large enough, they can be planted sepa rately into small pots, and kept thus until the proper season for plant- ing out in the garden. BIENNIALS.—These do not usually bloom until the second season after sowing. They may be sown out of doors, at least those that are hardy, while a few very desirable ones had better be sownin pots. The following are among the most desirable: Wall-flower, Foxglove, Pinks, Sweet William, Antirrhinum, Hollyhock, Larkspur, Canter bury Bell and others. DREER'’S GARDEN CALENDAR. ey ,ALCEOLARIA.—As this very desirable flower requires a little special care, the following method should be adopted. The seed should be sown in the latter part of August, or beginning of September, in pots prepared in the following manner: the pot to be half-filled with drain- age, over that, the rough sifting of the mould, and the surface covered witn soil as fine as possible, half of which should be composed of river sand. When prepared thus, it should be watered with a fine rose, immediately after which sow the seed carefully, without any covering of soil. The pots should then be placed under a close frame or hand-glass, in a shady part of the garden, no artificial heat being required. In large establishments, of course, there are propagating or other houses that willdo, wherethe same kind of moist temperature could be obtained, but any exposure tothe sun must be carefully guarded against by mats or paper. If the situation be of the proper temperature, they will require watering but very seldom. As soonas the seedlings are strong enough, they must be picked off in pots prepared as before, and placed in the same situation; from the store pots they will require to be potted off singly: after this the plants will grow very rapidly. Through the winter the plant will thrive well on the shelves near the glass, in the green-house; and, to obtain fine specimens, they must be shifted on freely till the flower-stalks have started, and should always be smoked with tobacco, as soon as the green-fly appears, as no plants in cultiva- tion so readily suffer from this insect as the Calceolaria. It is necessary to remark, that one of the most frequent causes of the appearance of these injurious insects, is the plant becoming root- bound ; to ayoid which evil, it is important that it should frequently be re-potted during the growing season. CINERARIA are more hardy in their growth, and require somewhat less care than the above, but for them the same treatment will suit in sowing of seed, &c. If required to flower in the winter, seed should be sown in April and May, and in the following months for spring flowering. CLIMBERS, for garden decoration should be sown in January, February, and March, the earlier the better, as the display for the after season will be in proportion to their early vigor for planting out; such as Cobea, Thunbergia, Maurandia, Lophospermum, Calampelis ( Eccre- mocarpus,) and Tropzolum of sorts. CLEMATIS species amongst hardy shrubs, and PENSTEMON, amongst herbaceous plants, are prominent instances of seeds which remain long dormant, often a whole year, before they grow, hence the importance of sowing them as soon as ripe. Another class often fail to germinate in consequence of the thick- ness or hardness of the outer skin or integument. We have had seeds of the Hrythrina and Canna for months in the ground perfectly dormant, which upon being soaked in hot water for one week have ger- minated finely.

The colors comprise the most brilliant of orange, scarlet, and vermillion tints upon yellow and orange grounds, including a graduated scale of inter- mediate shades, from white and rosy blush and salmon rose tints, to a salmon red and nankeen, from blush-white with purple crimson throat, and marginal streak of pink, to light rosy salmon grounds, with flakes of deepcarmine. A succession of bloom may be had from July to September, by planting at intervals from April to June, reserving the strongest bulbs for the latest planting. Their culture is very simple: they will grow in any ordinary garden-mould, but succeed best in good earth, manured with well-rotted horse-dung. The bulbs are taken up in the fall and placedin a dry cellar, protected from frost. A discount of ten per cent. from catalogue prices will be made when one dozen varieties are ordered.
