The Calj'canthus has spicy wood, but we suspect that the shrub j-ou refer to is a species of 

 Laurus, perhaps benzo'm, closely related to the Sassafras. 



VThat is the yalue of the ParU or Fontenay Quince stock, found in the late catalogue of AxDp.r. Lf.rot, as coni- 

 pare<l with the Angers Quince 1 (1) 



A Laurence on Quince, received three years ago, has made very little growth — merely lived indeed — while 

 Pii)\i<Use d'Automne (double-worked), Ti/son, LouUe Bonne <Je Jersey, Grey Doyenne, ic, have grown finely in the 

 same garden. Is the former incorrect, or on the wrong stock, or what can be the matter with it ? B. — Perry County, 

 Ohio. (2) 



(1.) We consider the Paris or Fo7iicna>/ Quince as good a stock for the Pear as the Angers. It 

 does not grow quite so late in the season, but is more hardy. 



(2.) Your Lcncrenre is very likely correct; for, although it succeeds pretty well on the Quince, 

 a single specimen might get stunted, just as trees will occasionally on any stock. 



Will you be kind enough to inform me hoic Easpberries are propogated by cuttings of the roots? When should 

 these cuttings be taken? How long, and how thick? When and how should they be planted and cultivated? I 

 have looked in vain through all the books and periodicals, to flnJ the ihtailn of the operation, and now lake the 

 privilege of a subscriber, to ask you. D. Leet Suiblbs. — Sewickly Bottom, Alleghany Co.,Ptnn. 



If you will examine the roots of Raspberries, you will find on them numerous buds or eye-; 



and every piece of root, if but an inch long, having an eye, will make a plant. Besides these 



conspicuous eyes, there are others in a latent state that will push if the roots are jdaced in a 



slight bottom heat. The cuttings may either be planted in pots or boxes of light sandy soil, and 



placed in a cool green-bouse, or a mild hot-bed ; or they may be planted in the open ground in 



spring. A little bottom heat will cause may eyes to push that will lie dormant in the o; en 



ground.

Peachts r>i>ER Glass.— I am anxious to try the cultivation of the Peach under glass in houses similar to the 

 orchard house of Mr. Rivers. Mr. K. suggeated the idea in the JfiirticuHurixt in August, IS.M. You made no 

 remark thereon. Will you kindly inform me if you have had any practical experience upon the subject? If not, 

 ■will you favor me with your opinion of the project— whether or not you would plant Grape vines, say to every sec- 

 end or third rafter, to act as a partial shade to the Peach trees? Would you recommend the jdanting in a well pre- 

 pared border, or in boxes? Would a lean-!o, or a span roof be most desirable? I have thought the Stunwiik >'ec- 

 tarine, and some late Peaches, would ripen in such a structure, and bring a good price in market My object in 

 growing them would be for that purpose. Tou are undoubtedly aware the Peach seldom ripens in our location ; 

 consequently good Peaches are a rare commodity in our city. 



Will you also state the price of trees adapted for such a purpose, when they would come into bearing, wl:h any other 

 suggestions you may choose to offer. Daxiel Baekee, — UtUa, N. Y. 



We have had no experience with such houses as those of Mr. Rivers. For growii'g Peaches 

 under glass in this country, in a cheap way, we would make a wall like a tight boaid fence, eay 

 ten feet l.igh, wi h a gocd bcrder at its bottom, for the trees. In fiOLt of ibis ws.ll wewoildfix 

 sashes, as for a cold vinery. A few Grapes might be advantageously grown on bhe roof, but not 

 so many as to obstruct the light to an injuiious degree. Y'enrling trees, such as are sold at the 

 ies for tv/enty-five cents each, are suitable for wall training. Y'ou will find some remarks 

 subject in the "Fruit Garden.'"
