PIN 



The old plants are of little use to the 

 florist, as they seldom produce the second 

 year first-rate bloom ; but for ornament- 

 ing the horder they are valuable. Ke- 

 inove them out of the bed ; trim of all 

 dead flower-stems; and plant them in 

 the borders of the garden rather deeper 

 than they have been before. They will 

 make fresh roots higher up the stems, 

 and form close compact bushes, pro- 

 ducing the next season abundance of 

 flowers. If it is intended to grow Pinks 

 again in the same bed, the soil ought to 

 be taken out a foot deep, and renewed 

 with fresh loam and very rotten stable- 

 dung, in the proportion of three of the 

 first to one of the latter, turning it over 

 frequently to thoroughly mix and sweeten 

 it. This should be done by the third 

 week of August. Eaise the bed six inches 

 above the soil around, and formed like 

 a pitched roof, 

 thus. The com- 

 post should be 

 at least a foot 

 deep. Plant in rows, the first week in 

 September, and twelve inches apart each 

 way. Sheltering in winter, frequent stir- 

 ring of the soil in spring, and mulching 

 with short, well-decayed stable manure 

 early in June, are the chief points of 

 after- culture. See CAENATION for other 

 points requiring attention. 



PIN PILLAR. Opu'ntia Curassd vica. 



PINNATE. A leaf is pinnate when 

 several leaflets grow from the sides of one 

 foot-stalk, as in the Pea, Acacia, &c. 



PINNATIFID is when a leaf is cut across 

 from the edge towards the centre nerve 

 into several oblong parallel segments, as 

 in Ipomopsis, &c. 



PI'NUS. Pine-tree. (A name from 

 Theophrastus. Nat. ord., Conifers 

 [Pinacere]. Linn., 21-Monceeia IQ-Mo- 

 nadelphia.) 



Hardy evergreens, except where otherwise men- 

 tioned. Chiefly by seeds ; scarce ones by cuttings, 

 layers, inarching, and grafting; deep, rich loam 

 yields the quickest and finest timber for bulk ; a 

 more mountainous situation, where the soil is 

 neither so rich nor so deep, is supposed to yield 

 the most lasting timber.
