THE GENESEE FARMER. 



(B. P. C, Pleasant Mount, Pa,) You can graft 

 your Mazzard stocks, but it is now too late, so you 

 had better bud them in August. If small, say not 

 over half an inch in diameter, put in one bud 

 within three or four inches of the ground ; if 

 large, bud the branches. 



(S. G. M.) Prairie Rail Timber. — "We recom- 

 mend you the yellow locust. Raise the plants 

 from seed ; transplant at one year old, and in five 

 or six year; you will have rail timbei". You can 

 get seed at the seed stores generally. Tlie Euro- 

 pean Larch is a rapid growing tree, worthy your 

 attention. You can get seeds or plants, through 

 the nui-serymen. 



(R. W., Macedon.) Tlie best work on the indi- 

 genous Flora, is Gray's Genera of the Plants of -the 

 United States, 2 vols., beautifully illustrated. — 

 Gray's Botanical Text Book is a smaller and 

 cheaper work, and affords considerable informa- 

 tion. 



(IL L., Pleasantville, K Y.) Tlie Azalea is 

 propagated by cuttings of young wood put in a 

 mixture of sand and peat, and covered with a bell 

 glass until rooted. It is also propagated by lay- 

 ers, and this is the easier way for you ; put out 

 the plants in a peaty border, and layer in the 

 usual way, in July. 



All communications, inquiries, Ac, should be 

 sent in not later than the 10th of the month, in 

 order to receive attention in tlie following month's 

 paper. 



Willows. — Permit me, as a subscriber to the Fanner, to 

 make a few inquiries relative to the Willow. In a number 

 of the State Register, under date of March 8th, is quite a 

 lengthy article from the Philadelphia North American, de- 

 scribing three varieties— 5((^«J3 Viminalis, Salix Capun, 

 and Sd^m Alha. 



Where can the two first named varieties be found 1 What 

 is the best manner of cultivating? What kind of soil is best 

 adapted? and will it grow upon any soil? What is the 

 usual and best way of cleaning the bark off the wood, and 

 preparing for market? 



A gentleman by the name of W. G. ITanies, a resident of 

 this Stato, has grown some, but I do not know his residence. 

 Please inform me if you can. 



The above, and any other matter of interest, touching 

 growth, ifcc.'of the Willow, you will, if possible, answer 

 through your columns or by letter. Daniel Morse. — Lock- 

 port. 



The Viminalit, which is the common English 

 osier, is the best for basket work, though several 

 others are used for that purpose. Tlie above sort 

 can be had in small quantities at least, in many of 

 the nurseries. 



The best soil for the willow is a deep, moist, 

 loamy soil near water, along streams, margins of 

 lakes, (fee, dtc Gen. H/jimon, of Wheatland, has 

 given some attention to this subject, and will pro- 

 bably be kind enough to furnish some of the 

 desired information from his experience.
