THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE. 



("Nov. 2, 



receptacles of unclaborated sap liable to break «-ut in gum 

 ranker, which in such cases It often the result, when recourse 

 is had either to indiscriminate root-cutting, or a wholesale 

 deprivation of leaves. 



Cucumbers— There is no difficulty in growing these at this 

 season, or during the winter, in pits heated by hot water, or 

 even a pood due, that will not allow the escape of smoke or 

 deleterious gases, as it is easy to change a dry to a moist heat 

 at pleasure. The/ may also be grown in pits with solid walls, 

 er pigeon-holed and flued, heated with fermenting material 

 alone ; but without having abundance of dung, &C., it would be 

 folly to attempt it. Less dung would be required tor common 

 fttmies, but much more caution in the management, to prevent 

 the ingress of steam, and to keep the atmosphere »n a healthy 

 state. Those who still have pood healthy plants in frames, will 

 find them much benefited by surfacing the bed with rough 

 chopped peat, and then covering the surface with tiles, whitn 

 may be painted over with sulphur if there is any danger from red- 

 spider. Those who are particular about Cucumbers at th is season, 

 will obtain them most economically, however, by building a 

 narrow house on purpose, as all the work of attendance can 

 then be done from the inside. The simplest system ot heating 

 by hot water will be the best, provided it secures a sufficiency 

 of bottom and atmospheric heat. Asparagus, Sea-kale, and 

 Rhubarb.— Preparations must now be made for forcing these 

 where they are wanted for use early. For the first nothing is 

 better than a late Melon-bed that still retains a moderate heat; 

 or a slight hot-bed may be made so as to moderate the heat 

 at pleasure, if it should prove too strong. Place the plants as 

 thickly as possible, and so near the glass as just to allow the 

 shoots to grow the requisite length, and then it may be had 

 green or blanched at pleasure, unless the weather should be 

 very severe. The best method to adopt for the two latter is to 

 form a small hotbed in any convenient place ; take up a number 

 of roots, place them on it, with a little i of any sort amongst 

 them, and defend from the weather and light, by any old boards 

 that can be obtained. Where a Mushroom house is at work, a 

 better place could not be found. Routine.— Examine stored 

 fruits and roots ; plant Lettuce and Endive in frames— young 

 ones out of doors to stand the winter; defend large Cauli- 



wer from frost, and young plants from heavy rains. Mulch 

 and dig about Globe Artichokes ; cut down and dress Asparagus 

 for the winter, though rammer dressing is the chief thing to be 

 attended to, remove all decaying vegetables, but take nothing 

 to the rot-heap that any of the men can use for food ; and so fur 

 as the falling leaves will permit, give everyplace a neat ap- 

 pearance.— R. F. 



VII.— COTTAGERS' GARDENS. 



The leaves being now for the most part off fruit trees, and the 

 ground sufficiently moistened by the late rains, the Cottager, 

 with every prof pect of success, may transplant any trees he may 

 wish to hare removed. In rather light, dry soils, this is the 

 best season for planting all kinds of fruit trees, it the weather is 

 open and tolerably dry ; and moreover, if any new kinds are 

 wanted fiom the nurseries, there is now a better chance of hav- 

 ing them good than in spring, when the nurseries have been 

 picked many times over. The following list may be useful to 

 those who are about to plant a new garden, or add to their 

 present collection. Of Apples, I would recommend as dessert 

 varieties, suitable for a Cottage Garden, the following, viz. 

 Early Hanrest, ripe in August ; Kerry Pippin and Wormsley 

 Pippin, September; Court of Wick, from October to March; 

 Old Nonpareil, from January to May ; Ribston Pippin, Novem- 

 ber to March ; and Dutch Mignonne, from December to April. 

 Sorts for Kitchen use may consist of Dumelow's Seedling, Bed- 

 fordshire Foundling, from November to March ; Royal Russet, 

 from November to May ; lower of Glammis, lrom November 

 to February ; and Waitham Abbey Seedling, from September to 

 January. Of Pears for table, the following are good: Ast< 

 Town, trom Oct. to Nov.; Marie Louise, Oct. ; Beurre Diel, Nov.; 

 Hacou's Incomparable, Nov.; Glont Morceau. from Nov. to Jan. ; 

 Beurre Ranee, from March to My. For baking, the ( 

 is most suitable. Those who are desirous of having a few Plums, 

 may plant the following for desert; viz. Green Gagf, Cue's 

 Golden Drop, Washington, and Royal Ha ive; and for Kitchen 

 use. the Orleans. Coe's Fine Late Red, Vine Sour, and Shrop- 

 shire Danivon . the last two are excellent for preserving. The 

 ground intended to be planted with fruit-trees should be well 

 trenched and manured, taking care that the latter is thoroughly 

 mixed with the soil. Look over Cauliflower and Lettuce plants 

 for slugs. If they are troublesome, sprinkle some hot lime 

 among the plants; it will benefit the ground and destroy the 

 slugs. Tie up Endive to blanch when dry, as, if done when wet, 

 it is apt to rot. Attend to plants in pots; tbey should be 

 kept rather on the dry side during winter; never water them 

 except when they absolutely require it, and then give them a 

 good soaking. — J. McH.

Notices to Correspondents. 



Bionoma jasminoiobs.— Z.— There are two varieties of this 

 plant under the same name, one of which is the peerless 

 beauty referred to; the other flowers sparingly if cramped in 

 a small pot. But why grow this poor variety at all, when the 

 other is all that can be wished \B. 



Cucumbers.— A Beginner.— Soil composed of three-fourths 

 light rich mould from an old pasture, one-eighth vegetable 

 mould, and one-eighth rotten dung, will produce Cucumbers 

 in abundance. Keep the temperature of the beds about 65° 

 at night, allowing about 10° of a ri.<e in sunshine. Cover at 

 night with mats, but they should always be removed by sun- 

 rise, in order to adroit all the light possible to the plants. This 

 is very essential to their welfare. t 



Grapes.— Dido— The flame- coloured Tokay is the same as the 

 Lombardy; bunches very large. The Red Tokay is different, 

 the bunches being small. || 

 Heating.— F. R.— An Arnott stove, well managed, will heat 



sufficiently a small greenhouse ; but it must be furnished 

 with an evaporating pan on the top, and it should also be a 

 very well manufactured article. 

 Insects.— D. L.-We are much obliged for the twig of the 

 Spruce-fir, which was, however, so injured by the carnage, 

 that we could not make out whether the disease is a Coccus 

 or an Eriosoma, and we besr that you will send us some of the 

 winged specimens in a quill, which will enable us to deter- 

 mine the species ; but we despair of suggesting a remedy. if. 

 F. D.- Your Hollvhock capsules are infested by the Cater- 

 pillar of a Moth, which we iound in them last August. We 

 hope you will endeavour to rear them, in order that we may 

 identify the species.ii. J.F. V.'s curious larva is the off- 

 spring of an Hemerobius, and is eminently serviceable in 

 destroying the aphides on Turnips, &c. Its history has been 

 published in the 3d vol. of the " Royal Agricultural Journal," 



page 6l.R. Ingram.— Your Strawberry- bed grubs are the 



larva of a fly, apparently allied to Bibio..ft. J. Wighton.— 



The slug-like larvae on the Pear-trees you will find described 

 and figured in this Journal, vol. ii. p. 692, under the name of 



Selandria Cerasi.R. Dinna Ken.— I am unable to tell you 



the names of the small larva-, but I expect they are carnivo- 

 rous, and, if so, useful. The others were so crushed it is im- 

 possible to say what they are. Quills and small pill-boxes cut 

 down are far more secure than green stalks for transmitting 



subjects per post./*. C. M'Gregor.—l am much obliged for 



the minute animals, which are Acari ; but I cannot tell you 

 the species at present, neither am I aware that they injure 



the crops. R. . 



Ivy.— G.— Very little is known upon the rate of growth in tim- 

 ber. An Ivy stem 45 years old has measured 7k inches in 

 circumference; therefore yours 8 inches in diameter may be 

 assumed to be 135 years; but it is probably very much older. 

 There is a formula for calculating such things, and if we can 

 lay our hand upon it we will publish it. ... 



Lkycesteria Formosa. -H. S.-This may be increased either 

 from seeds or by cuttings. As you have saved seeds you had 

 better keep them till spring, when you may sow them in the 

 open border, where they will vegetate ; but the better way is 

 to sow them in shallow pans in light soil, and to keep them 

 in a cool frame until the plants are ready for transplanting 



where you intend them to remain. J 

 Madkira Fbuits.— C. W.— "When I was in Madeira, now 

 eight years since, I remember the following plants to have 

 been cultivated, in addition to these mentioned in your letter : 

 Eriobotrya japonica; Annona cherimolia, squamosa, &c.; 

 Persea gratissima (Avocado Pear), Mango (but very stringy 

 fruit), Coffee (excellent), Guayava (Psidium pomiferum and 

 some other species in private gardens). Olives are no longer 

 cultivated, owing to a nearly prohibitive law made in favour 

 of the mother country, I have heard. The same may be said 

 of sugar, which was formerly manufactured here, but was 

 found to interfere with the South American colonies; it still 

 exists, however. Almonds, Peaches, Nectarines, and Apri- 

 cots can hardly be said to be in cultivation, according to our 

 notions; that is, they are nearly in a wild state, and produce 

 scarcely eatable fruits. Apples, Pears, Gooseberries, Currants, 

 and other northern fruits, are only cultivated up the moun- 

 tain, at about 1500 feet, in the merchants' country seats, and 

 are seldom seen. Oranges are of an inferior description. 

 Besides the above, I may mention that the Tamarind grows 

 well in Mr. Veitch's garden, who also cultivates Tea, the 

 Persea gratissima, and other exotics. There are other Musas 

 beside paradisiaca in private gardens, but I never heard of 

 their fruit being brought to table. No Palms but Phcenix 

 dactylifera and Chamaerops htimilis are known to me. There 

 are several vegetables which it may be as well to add, e. g. — 

 Caladium nymphreifolium, whose roots are eaten by the pea- 

 sants; Tamus edulis Lowe (a Yam), cultivated in the western 

 corner of the island ; Sweet Potato (Batatas edulis) ; Sechium 

 edule (Chocho), a capital Gourd; Physalis pubescens (Cape 

 Gooseberry) is wilder), and is made into a \ety good and 

 beautiful preserve. The Stone Pine is cultivated, but the 

 seeds are not brought to table as in the south of Europe. 

 Arachis hypogaia was introduced when I was in the island, 

 but afterwards neglected. Many ornamental trees, &c. were 

 in cultivation in private gardens, e. g.—The Silk Cotton-tree 

 (Bombax), Screw Pine (Pandanus), Aloe vulgaris, Dracaena 

 draco (?), Schinus Molle, Elasagnus angustifolius, Arbutus 

 Unedo, Acacias (various), Liriodendron tulipifera, Magnolias 

 (various), Caryophyllus aromaticus, Jambosa vulgaris, Euca- 

 lyptus sp. (one large tree in Dr. Renton's garden), Melaleuca 

 leucadendron, &c. &c. There is also a Myrtus(?) from South 

 America, with small pleasant fruit, whose name I just now 

 forget, spoken of somewhere lately by Gardner. The Castor- 

 oil plant is abundant, but turned to little account." C. L—n. 



Manures. — A. B.— Gas-water has been found to produce ex- 

 cellent effects on Grass land and many crops. Innumerable 

 accounts of it have been made public in our columns for- 

 merly. We advise you to consult them. To gas-tar, how- 

 ever, we have nothing favourable to say, of our own 

 knowledge. 

 Melon' and Cucumber Seeds. — Revert ens. —If these have 

 been perfectly matured, they will keep good for several years. 

 Two or three years old seed is reckoned better than that of 

 the preceding season. || *

Pine-appi.es.— -4 Constant Reader's remarks on Mr. Mills's 

 mode of growing them are premature. It will be better to 

 wait till he has published his own account of his method, 

 which is announced. Carping at cultivators more successful 

 than yourself is not to be approved of. 



Planting. — Anon.— Trench deep, give a little manure if you 

 can, and plant now, making use of Oaks from 1$ to 2 feet la 

 height. They will soon beat larger plants. The sessile-fruited 

 Oak will grow faster than the common Oak by one-third, and 

 is at least as valuable as timber, besides being much hand- 

 somer. /. W.— The Highland Pine has the reputation of 



being superior to the Scotch Fir, and, as we believe, justly. 

 It is a variety of Pinus sylvestns. We should use it if we 

 had any planting in hand. We do not know Smith's book on 



forest trees. The best is Mr. Selby's work on that subject. 



A. B.C. — We cannot advise you to attempt to transplant your 

 old Yew-hedge suddenly. The chances are too much against 

 you. If you will, this autumn, dig a trench 18 inches deep 

 along each side of it, 2 feet from the stems, and fill the earth 

 in again, you will compel the plants to form new roots, and 

 you may then transplant them safely next November. In the 

 meanwhile cut away the Laurels, and take out the dead wood, 

 exposing the naked part to the light, and you will probably 

 get some green shoots to form during the ensuing summer.
