Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. — Since our remarks in Art. 

 II. were sent to press, we have learnt from the Proceedings of the 

 Jinnual Meeting, forwarded to us by our correspondent, Mr. T. 

 Hancock, that Caleb Cope, Esq. was chosen President of the So- 

 ciety, in the place of Horace Binney, Esq., resigned. — Id. 



Sowing Pocket Larkspur seed. — Thouijh we have mentioned, in 

 our monthly memoranda of work to be done in the garden, for No- 

 vember, that the seeds of this fine flower should be sown this month, 

 yet we deem it necessary to remind our readers more particularly 

 of the imjiortance of attending to this, if a fine bed of flowers is 

 desired. Plant any time this month, in a good bed of soil, in drills 

 about one foot apart. No more care is necessary than to leave the 

 bed till spring, when the plants will come up as soon as the frost ia 

 out of the ground, and bloom superbly in June. — Id. 



Remedy for girdled fruit trees. — 1 have an apple tree which the 

 mice eirdled four or five years ago, taking the bark off for about 

 eight inches. I saved the tree by taking three scions of the previous 

 year's growth, and carefully inserting each end above and below 

 where the bark was off", tying them on, and covering the wound vviih 

 some grafting cement. The tree appears to thrive as well as if no- 

 thing had happened to it. (^Jilbany (JuUivalor.)
