sed, tliey will be drawn out and injured, if not de- 

 stroyed, by the frosts. 



If the weather continues fine, transplanting of 

 hardy trees and shrubs may be continued for a week 

 or ten days, but no tender trees should be planted so 

 late. 



Then, when transplanting is finished, and every 

 thing protected and secured, you may spend your 

 leisure hours in manuring and trenching up your 

 Garden. This will not only facilitate spring opera- 

 tions, but the soil, by being exposed to the frost, 

 will become fine and friable, and weeds and insects 

 will be more or less destroyed. 



Orchards that have been seeded down and neglect- 

 ed, can now be manured and broken up. This is an 

 excellent time to do it, if not already done. Don't 

 dread the expense : it will, every cent, with double 

 or treble interest, be refunded in one year from this 

 date. Your next season's crop, in quantity, and 

 more particularly in quality, will amply recompense 

 you for your labor. The other day we travelled 

 some 30 miles through the country, and we met with 

 many who are going about this. People just begin 

 to learn something about fruit culture : their eyes 

 begin to be opened to its importance, in a pecuniary 

 point of view, particularly. 



We have not the least doubt but that there will be 

 more orchard labor performed, during the coming 

 season, than there has been for the last five. We 

 rejoice to see such signs as enable us to say this — 

 but even when all this shall be done, it will be but a 

 trifle, compared to what ought to be. There are yet 

 multitudes of farmers who seem to be unaware of 

 the value of fruits and vegetables — looking upon the 

 Orchard and Garden as rather a tax on their income, 

 than a source of revenue, as they invariably are when 

 properly managed ; and not only a source of reve- 

 nue, but a vast amount of domestic comfort and 

 enjoyment. P. B. 



Ambrican Apples in England. — We learn from 

 the New York True Sun a circumstance showing 

 the results of careful culture as applied to fruit, as 

 well for home consumption as for fame abroad. Rob- 

 ert L. Pell, of Pelham, Westchester county, has an 

 orchard of two thousand apple trees, all bearing 

 Newtown Pippins. By trimmiing, and the application 

 of the best manures, he has brought the fruit to an 

 unusual size and excellence. The apples are picked 

 and packed in barrels, without being rolled or jolted 

 in carts, and so arrive in the very best order for ship- 

 ment. Last year they were sold in London at twen- 

 ty-one dollars a barrel, and the merchant to whom 

 they were consigned, wrote that the nobility, and 

 other people of great wealth, had actually bought 

 them by retail at a guina a dozen; which is some for- 

 ty-five cents an apple. Mr. Pell has from three to 

 four thousand barrels of the apples this year, which are 

 sold as fast as they arrive in market, at six dollars a 

 barrel, and are shipped to England. It is quite a 

 business for one of our commission merchants to dis- 

 pose of the produce of this noble plantation.

 as well as of fancy — they trusted their lives and for- 

 tunes in a Mayflower i.''^
