240 ON PENDULOUS GROAVING TKEES. 



creases by repotting, watering with liquid manure, &c., occasionally. 

 Chinese Primroses should be similarly encouraged for winter bloom- 

 ing. If mildew appears on any plants, dust them with sulphur imme- 

 diately. Camellias may be grafted ; the operation may be performed 

 with the greatest success by pursuing tlie method tlie French call 

 " graffe en jjlacage," which is merely inserting that portion of wood 

 that includes a bud and leaf cut longitudinally, into a corresponding 

 cleft in the stock. The grafted subjects should be plunged in bottom 

 heat, and kept covered for at least a month. Moses may still be 

 budded. Nail to tiie wall young shoots of Bauksian Roses. Cut clean 

 away those not wanted. Prepare beds of Sweet Violets. Roses for 

 forcing too. 



SHRUBBEEY. 

 When it is intended to remove large evergreen shrubs, &c., the 

 coining season, it very materially contributes to success now to have a 

 deep trench cut round the plant at the size the ball is intended, and 

 thus cut in the roots, which induces them to push lateral ones, and 

 such readily strike afresh when removed. October and early in 

 November is the best season for planting evergreens ; the ground pos- 

 sesses some heat then, and promotes their more immediate establish- 

 ment, and the air is cool and damp in a proportionate degree. 



IN THE GREENHOUSE, COLD FRAME, &c. 

 Towards tiie end of the month take in tlie tenderer greenhouse 

 plants, but the house should be whitewashed, &c., previously if 

 required. Repot Chrysanthemums if the pots they are in be full of 

 roots. Ci?ieraiias pot off singly the ofl'sets, also seedlings. Seed may 

 still be sown, but as early as possible, in order to have the plants strong 

 enough to pot off before winter. Cuttings of bedding plants should 

 be put in directly. Pot off singly rooted cuttings of Pelargoniums, 

 &c. Cuttings of Tea Hoses, &c., soon strike root at this period. 



ON PENDULOUS GROWING TREES. 



Excuse me if, tlirough your useful and widely circulated Cabinet, I 

 intrude an observation or two on pendulous trees, as I am often 

 astonished to find so small a number generally grown, when so many 

 more are equally graceful witii them, ^sculus pendula, budded six 

 feet high, is very beautiful ; Amygdalus pendula, a very fine one, if six 

 feet high ; Betula alba pendula ; Cotoneaster nummularia, if grafted 

 six feet high, is very fine ; Crataegus Georgica, the same ; C. pendula ; 

 Cytisus laburnum pendulus ; C. capitatus, C. decumbens, C. aralensis, 

 grafted on Laburnums ; Fagus sylvatica pendula ; Fraxinus lentiscifolia 

 pendula, very fine ; Populus pendula ; Prunus Chinensis pleno pendula, 

 if grafted six feet high, looks well; Pyrus communis pendula; 

 Quercus pendula ; Robinia pendula ; Sophora Japonica pendula ; Tilia 

 pendula; Ulmus pendula; Abies pendula; Larix pendula; Pinus 

 Fraseri ; Cupressus pendula ; Juniperus repanda ; the Deodore cedar, 

 &c. Some of these are neAV, and very scarce ; they may be obtained 

 at the public nurseries.
