TEE 



Another, not less beautiful, is a yellow- 

 green, nearest the eye, heyond that a 

 light-green, then a brown-green, and 

 lastly a dark-green. The dark-green 

 must be the largest, the light-green 

 the next in extent, and the yellow- 

 green the least of all. 



From these combinations, the agree- 

 ments between particular tints may be 

 known. A light-green may be next 

 either to a yellow or a brown-green, 

 and a brown to a dark-green ; all in 

 considerable quantities, and a little rim 

 of dark-green may border on a red or a 

 light-green. Further observations will 

 show, that the yellow and the white- 

 greens connect easily; but that large 

 quantities of the light, the yellow, or 

 the white-greens, do not mix well with 

 a large quantity also of the dark-green; 

 and that to form a pleasing mass, either 

 the dark-green must be reduced to a 

 mere edging, or a brown or an inter- 

 mediate green must be interposed; 

 that the red, the brown, and the inter- 

 mediate greens agree among them- 

 selves, and that either of them may be 

 joined to any other tint; but that the 

 red- green will bear a larger quantity of 

 the light than of the dark green near it; 

 nor does it seem so proper a mixture 

 with the white-green as with the rest. 

 In massing these tints, an attention 

 must be constantly kept up to their 

 forms^ that they do not lie in large 

 stripes one beyond another; but that 

 either they be quite intermingled, or, 

 which is generally more pleasing, that 

 considerable pieces of different tints, 

 each a beautiful figure, be in different 

 proportions placed near together. See

TREE MALLOW. Lava'tera arbo'rea. 



TREE OF SADNESS. Nycta'nthes a'rbor 

 tri'stis. 



TREE or CANADA ONION. A' Ilium 

 proli'ferum. This is without a bulbous 

 root, but throws out numerous offsets. 

 Its top bulbs are greatly prized for 

 pickling, being considered of superior 

 flavour to the common onion. 



It is propagated both by the root 

 offsets, which may be planted during 

 March and April, or in September and 

 October, and from the top bulbs, which 

 are best planted at the end of April, 



The old roots are best to plant again 

 for a crop of bulbs, as they are most 

 certain to run to stems. Plant in rows 

 twelve inches asunder, in holes six 

 inches apart and two deep, a single 

 offset or bulb being put in each. Those 

 planted in autumn will shoot up leaves 

 early in the spring, and have their 

 bulbs fit for gathering in June or the 

 beginning of July; those inserted in 

 the spring will make their appearance 

 later, and will be in production at the 

 close of July or early in August ; they 

 must not, however, be gathered for 

 keeping or planting until the stalks 

 decay, at which time, or in the spring 

 also, if only of one year's growth, the 

 roots may be taken up and parted if 

 required for planting ; but when of two 

 or three years' continuance, they must, 

 at all events, be reduced in size, other- 

 wise they grow in too large and spind- 

 ling bunches ; but the best plan is to 

 make a fresh plantation annually with 

 single offsets. 



The bulbs, when gathered, must be 

 gradually and carefully dried in a shady 

 place; and if kept perfectly free from 

 moisture, will continue in good state 

 until the following May. 



TRELLIS or TREILLAGE, is an arrange- 

 ment cf supporters upon which to train 

 plants. 



Espalier Trellis. The cheapest, the 

 easiest, and the soonest made, is that 

 formed with straight poles or stakes 

 of ash, oak, or chesnut, in lengths of 

 from five to six or seven feet, driving 

 them in the ground in a range about a 

 foot distant, all of an equal height, and 

 then railed along the top with the 

 same kind of poles or rods, to pre- 

 serve the whole form in a regular 

 position. They should be full an inch- 

 and-a-half thick, and, having pointed 

 them at one end, drive them with a 

 mallet into the ground in a straight 

 range, close along the row of trees, a 

 foot deep at least. To render treillage 

 still stronger, run two, three, or more 

 ranges of rods, along the back part of 

 the uprights, a foot or eighteen inches 

 asunder, fastening them to the upright 

 stakes, either with pieces of strong 

 wire twisted two or three times round, 

 or by nailing them.
