 believed, meet in the fullest acceptation of the word, the want so 

 universally felt for reliable information on thehistory and internal 

 resources of a country occupying bo large a portion of the Eastern 

 Hemisphere, and holding so formidable a position at the present 

 time to the rest of Europe and Asia; but of which far less is 

 known than of any other European nation.

pBArAOATlON OF EVERGREKNS — SEASON OF BuDDINO 

 NOKTHEBS SpT ApPLE — SUBSOIL PLOW. (E. F. E., 



adison. Ohio). All kinds of hardy evergreens are pro- 

 gated by seed, being the only mode in general practice, 

 ple^, pears and cherries should be budded during the 

 uimer season, as soon as the terminal bud on the shoots 

 im which it is wished to take buds is formed, as the wood 

 the scion is generally sufficiently matured at that time, 

 le stock into which buds are desired to be inserted ought 

 be niakiug such active growth that the bark will raise 

 ely from the stock ; otherwise it can not be performed 

 cesifully. The cherry is budded generally first, as it 

 ises growing earlier than other sorts, then pears, and 

 er apples. AVhen pears are worked on the quince 

 ck, it may be deferred with safety much later, as the 

 ince in good soil grows freely till frost. The Northern 

 y apple fully maintains its reputation in Western New 

 rk. with those who cultivate it properly. The tree is 

 very upright Jiabit and vigorous ; therefore the head of 

 tree requires thinning out very much, and fully expo- 

 ; the fruit and branches to the sun and light. You may 

 n dnpend upon an abundant supply of the finest fruit. 

 )ne of the best subsoil plows is Ruggles, Novrse 4' 

 soils Patent, which may be obtained through almost

LEA3E inform me the mode and time of planting the sub-

eeds of the apple, if not sown in the fall, should be 

 t through the winter mixed with clean, moist sand, or 

 h fine peat or pulverized muck, and exposed to the 

 it, which will tend to split the exterior horny covering, 

 dng with soil or loam causes more difficulty in sowing. 

 ; seeds may be sown in drills from one to two feet 

 rt — better, if land can be afforded, three feet apart, 

 t a cultivator may pass between, A sprinkling of fine 

 Qure, or of a compost of three parts peat or muck and 

 part of ashes, will assist in promoting the growth of 

 yound plant. A writer in the Horticulturist gives the 

 owing as an eminently successful mode of raising pear 

 dlings : " Trench with a plow, and finish with a spade 

 I depth of two feet — not less. Compost to fill the trench

 become dry — to be mixed with clean moist sand. J. P.
