HINTS ON PLANTING.

Trees should be planted only in a dry and thoroughly prepared soil. For extensive
plantations, thorough pulverization of the soil to the depth of eighteen inches, with com-
mon and subsoil plow, and careful drainage, (where there is any excess of moisture, ) and
the application, if necessary, of sufficient well-decomposed manure or compost to produce
a good crop of corn will be rey vired; for garden planting spading to the same depth is
preferable.

The trees, before planting, should have ail bruised or broken parts of roots cut off with
a clean cut, and the top should be cut back sumiciertly to restore the balance between it
and the roots.

The holes for the trees should be made large enough to afford ample room for the roots,
which should be spread as near as possible in their natural position, and the interstices be-
tween them carefully filled with fine soii: set the trees about as deep as they stood in the
nursery, excepting dwarfs, which shouid have their stocks covered. Where exposed to
the ar tion of winds. staking at time of planting is preferable. care being taken to tie the
trees in such a way as to prevent chafing. In the case of Fall planting, a smail mound of
earth raised over tie roots and about the stem will be Gf service to protect the roots from
the action ef the frost: but it should be removed in Spring. During the Summer the
ground should receive careful and clean cultivation, and no crops, except hoed ones,
should be grown among the trees.

For further details regarding culture and treatment, the works of Downing, Barry
Thomas, or other works especially devoted to the subject, should be consulted. )

Trees arriving in a frozen condition should be left in their packages and removed to a
coo] cellar, where they will gradtiaily thaw out, and can then be unpacked with safety.—
1f procured in Fall, for Spring planting. they should be set in a slanting position, in
trenches made in a dry soil ana sheitered situation.

To prevent injury by the Peach, Quince or Apple Borer, apply coal oil in small quanti-
ties to all trees affected, a few inches above the ground. Care most be exercised in using,
as an overdose would be sure death to the tree.

hailed with delight; as a plant for green-house decoration, they were unsurpassed,
and the expectations that they would stand our sun well, has been fully realized. We

THE ROSE.

10%

Fhe Rose stil] maintains its position as the most attractive of flowers. Every year adds
a Jarge number of varieties to our extended lists, new at least in name, if not in char-
acter ; and it shall be our special endeavor, after careful comparisons, to point out
such of them as show a decided improvement in their leading characteristics over
pre-existing varieties, ,

Our collection of Roses is now admitted to be one of the most complete, having
been enriched, by direct importation, with the latest popular sorts.

Ever-blooming roses cannot be secured unless the plants are kept in a vigorous
growing condition. To derive the greatest enjoyment from rose-culture, beds should
be prepared exclusively for their benefit.

A fresh Joamy soil, enriched with well-rotted cow-manure, we have found the
best, and their fertility preserved by yearly top-dressing with well-retted manure.

HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES.

This class is very popular, combining the vigor of the hardy garden rose with the
frequent blooming qualities of several other classes; some of the sorts are also very
fragrant. The following isa select list of the lutest introductions, allon their own

Sedums, all of them interesting and many o them very beautiful, both in foliage and
in flower. The colors of the flowers embrace the different sh ules of yellow, carmine,
orange, pink, white, &c. From the compact growing nature of many of the species,
they can be used to form letters in printing or writing, so that the names or initials
can be formed of the living plants. From their entirely hardy nature, they have long
been used for this purpose in the cemeteries of Europe. Being ‘‘succulent’’ plants,
they withstand the severest droughts, and will always do best when planted on rocks
or high dry knolls. For vases during the Summer months, they are exceedingly "1se-
ful, as no ordinary neglect of watering will injure them. 10 to 15 cents each.

THE VERBENA.

The Verbena is the most useful of our bedding plants, yet, for want of proper cultiva- —
tion, many fail to grow it to perfection. Frequent changes of soil is necessary. A
fresh, sandy loam, enriched with well-rotted manure, or ‘sods from a pasture, thrown
up W ith cow manure, and well rotted before using, we have found the best. A sim-
ple plan, when it is not practicable to renew the entire bed, is to dig holes about one
foot square and deep, w herever a plant is desired, and fill up with fresh soil, as above
named. Our stock this year is finer than ever before, over two-thirds being new vari- —
eties, mostly seedlings of my own, carefully cr ossed and selected only froin healthy,
strong plants, We claim to have the largest and finest collection in the State ; and as.
we grow so extensively we are enabled to sell at a much lower price than any other
party in this vicinity. Nos. opposite the names.
