en up, potted and preserved for another year. 

 3d, select such a variety of shrubs as will com- 

 mence blossoming in April or May, and continue 

 till October. 4th, get the very best varieties of 

 Perpetual Roso8 ; far be it from me to decry the 

 charms of the old June Roses, (those that bloom 

 only once in the year) few better appreciate 

 the delicate Maiden's Blush, the Crimson Dam- 

 ask, the Hundred Leaf, or the Provence, but I 

 am forced to prefer the Bourbons, the Hyljrid 

 Perpetuals, the Chinas, the Teas and the Noisettes, 

 which like the Orange, give buds, fruits and flow- 

 at the same time. 



In conclusion, let these bo the cardinal points 

 in the formation of a flower garden ; have no 

 7nore ground than can be kept free of loccds ; plant 

 only such flowers as will keep continually in 

 bloom ; set the beds in the grass, and mow it oft- 

 en, so that the flowers may ever be prominent ; 

 get the greati^st 'possible variety of flowering 

 shrubs, particularly thos^ that will commence 

 early, and leave off late ; the best shrul^ is that 

 one which has not only flowers, but a fine and last- 

 ing foliage, and berries for the birds : have just as 

 many Perpetual Roses as may be, and do not be 

 disheartened because you cannot do all the first 

 year; "little by little the bird builds its nest." 

 Keep your flower beds well filled ; Inillis for the 

 spring, perennials or biennials and bedding out 

 plants for the summer and autumn ; and be, above 

 all things, careful to keep j'our flowerbeds, &c., 

 just as free from weeds, dirt, and disorder, as you 

 would your day-book, for where the garden is 

 neat and beautiful, there happiness and peace will 

 delight to dwell, and bless the inmates of the 

 house.

CULTIVATION OF THE PEAR TREE. 



The principal reasons deduced liy the orcliard- 

 ist for neglecting or refusing to plant as many 

 pear trees as will bear some proportion to the num- 

 ber of his apples, and other trees, are tliat the 

 first cost of the pear tree is generally more tlian 

 double that of the apple ; it is longer in coming 

 into bearing: it is more liable to leafor sap blight, 

 &c. These objections may look formidable, but 

 thej" are not insurmountable. 



It is true that the cost at the nursery of 100 

 pear trees, is more than that of 200 apple trees; 

 and tliis must continue to bo so, for the.cxpencc 

 of raising pear trees for a suitable size for market 

 is much the greater ; but when jilaiited in the or- 

 chard tliey require no more attention than other 

 fruit trees; in order to make them do their beet, 

 they reijuire cultivatiun and attention far beyond 

 what is usually extended to them. 



A well cultivated pear tree is as prolific as an 

 apple tree of tlie same si/e, and the fruit alwaye 

 sells at more than (loul>le tlie price of apples, so 

 that the cultivator g(!t» full return for hia extra 

 outlay for his pear tree. 



It may be Bald that it will not bear transportation
