THE GEKESEE FAEMER. 



HORTICULTURAL. 

 (D. E G., Hayiland Hollow, N. Y.) It makes 

 no matter whether you take buds jfrom dwarf 

 trees or standards, or whether on quince or pear 

 stocks, provided always the trees be in perfect 

 health and vigor ; this is the main consideration.

How irill the plum succeed grafted on the peach? 8. 

 Cartkr, Jr. — Amherst, N. II. 



Some varieties do well ; but they must be in a 

 light, dry soil. 



Mb. Barry will confcT a favor upon many of your sub- 

 scribers, by stating in liis department at what season it is 

 best to transplant evergreens. N. W. T. 



If from the nursery, any time in April or May ; 



but if from the woods, about the time they are 



starting to grow. 



♦ 



Is the fall season as good as the spring for planting out 

 {hiit trees? And what month in the fall ? Cuas. H. Mok- 

 EisoN. — Oxford, la. 



For hardy trees, we prefer the fall, as soon as a 

 sharp frost has completely arrested vegetation. 

 In Western New York, about the 10th or 15th of 

 October, and for a month after. 



I WRITE to ask of you the kindness of letting us know 

 through your columns, which is the very best work, in your 

 knowledge, upon rural homes, giving also the address. We 

 have heard of Doicuing^s Horticulturist; if it is the best, 

 please acquaint us with its address and terms. 



Our situation will be on the edge of one of the many rich 

 and beautiful prairies of Southern Illinois, overlooking an 

 extensive undulating plain, bedecked the greater part of 

 the season with sylvan groves and innumerable flowers. 

 We wish to fix upon the plan for oiu" yard, flower garden, 

 fruit garden and orchard, the coming fall, and also for a 

 nursery of evergreens and fruit trees ; therefore we should 

 like to be examining some excellent work upon this sub- 

 ject as soon as possible. We would of course wish one de- 

 voted almost exclusively to horticulture, as we have yours 

 for agriculture, and one not lacking in engravings of sweet 

 homea nestling in nature's green lap. E. J. Cope. — I'air- 

 field, lU. 



Tliree good works for you — Downmg's Land- 

 scape Gardening, Wheeler's Rural Hoines, Barry's 

 Fruit Garden. 



Wii.L you please to give me some information, if you 

 have had any experience in tarring young fruit trees in the 

 fall or beginning of winter, in order to protect them from 

 the mice? If you have never experimented upon it, give 

 your opinion as to its eflleacy, and whether it will injure 

 the trees or not. If it is a sure preventive, as I have heard 

 it rumored, it will be one of the greatest blessings of the 

 day to nurnerymen and farmers. A. C. HALL. — Maroj, 

 Oneida Co., N. Y. 



"We have had no experience with tar for this 

 purpose, and sliould not advise its use. Clean 

 culture around orchards is of great importance, 

 and mice may be pretty effectually kept off by 

 throwing up a small mound of earth around each 

 tree, say a foot high, to be levelled down in the 

 spring.
