THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE. 



[Nov. 16 



alter being ex ■ <uddcn and severe frosts ol the sprin 



of 1843, coming, as it did, alter a comparatively mild winte 

 This ? ion J been I food for r ning the wood, that I 

 think tl ■ ow get over the misfortune* Where canker 

 exists, the disc. tswhoul e cut out ia spring or summer, 



and the wound covered over with clay and c,w-dung; but all 

 applications ol this nature will be of very temporary influeuc 

 unless attention is paid to the following things :— Plant s, 

 the wood of which may be expected to ripen In the situation; 

 improve the climate by thorough draining of the soil; raise the 

 trees on hillocks above the surrounding surface, alter laying a 

 substratum of concn , tiles, slate, &c. at the re- te depth, to 

 prevent the downward progress of the roots; never bury the 

 collar of the tree j expose and aerate the soil before planting, 

 and use no manure but as mulching, and you will generally be 

 rewarded— not by astonishing quickness of growth, nor by your 

 Apples and Pears towering their heads like forest-trees, but by 

 sseing them produce healthy, though rather stunted wood, 

 covered with fruitful buds j and if you imagine that you must 

 wait a longtime for the full occupancy of your ground, by such 

 moderate growth, you may increase the number of trees. 



Routine.— All la nr in the kitchen-garden has been at a 

 stand-still lately; the weather either being so drenching or the 

 ground so wet, that little effective could be done. It always 

 implies bad management to see garden-labourers out of doors 

 in unfavourable weather. Take such opportunities for tying 

 mats, making straw or reed covers, thatching hurdles, preparing 

 wood for support! frames to waterproofed cloth, painted 

 canvas, asphalted felt, &c. Attend to Mushroom- beds in 

 houses; examine all stoves, so that as soon as the weather 

 clears up, your full effective force of labour may be directed to 

 the p« rmancc of the necessary operations, and effecting 

 needful changes and improvemei —It. /". 



VI.— ARBORICULTURE. 



Old Wood*.— Thin and fell deciduous trees, except such as arc 

 valuable for their bark. Fill up vacant spaces with young 

 trees, or plants of the most profitable kinds. Repair fences, 

 open water-courses, clean out dram, and make new ones 



where they are wanted. 



Coppice.— Continue to plant: all vacant spaces with young 

 plants of the most profitable kinds of trees. Clean out water- 

 courses and drains, as ected above, and make new ones 

 where they are wanted. Repair fences, and keep everything 

 in good order. 



Young Plantation* —Continue to plant in dry ground any 

 new plantations ; replace dead plants in lormer planted ones j 

 but if the soil Lg stiff, 1, and wet, defer such work till spring. 

 Thinning may be proceeded with in neglected plantations. 



Hedne-r i.— The repairing ol hedges, scouring of di'ches, 

 plant. .»g suitable plants, training maiden naturally raised trees 

 of proper kinds, replacing dead or injured plants, and removii 

 all valueless and Injur trees in hedge-rows, should be pro- 

 ceeded with at all convenient times. 



A ' JTor*.— Proceed with taking up plants, sorting them, 



and laying them in by the heels In well-pulverised soil, till 

 wanted for planting ©gain. Trench and dig ground for re- 

 planting cuttings and seedlings t ards spring; this work 

 might be forwarded in fine weather, in some dry soils and 

 favourable situations, during the winter months.— IF. B.

Books. —Wfitrrfiru .—" Notions sur Tart de faire des boutures. 



Par Neumann." Inquire of any foreign bookseller. 



Querist.— You must apply to the Secretary of the New Zealand 

 Company, Broad-street, City. There you will get full informa- 

 tion. Dieffenbach's book on New Zealand will probably 



answer your purpose. An Acquirer.— Dix's " Practical 



Geometry" is cheap, and excellent for a beginner. We ar 

 not acquainted with the books you mention X 



Fstjit-trees.— W. IF.— The following being such as are not 

 generally liable to canker, may probably suit your soil:— 

 Dessert Apples— Claygate Pearmain, Cockle Pippin, Court of 

 Wick, Braddick's Nonpareil, Court pendu Plat, Pearson»s 

 Plate, Downton Nonpareil, Scarlet Nonpareil, Sturmer Pippin. 

 Kitchen Apples— Dumelow's Seedling, Bedfordshire Found- 

 ling, Wormslcy Pippm, Alfriston. Pears for Espaliers— Mane 

 Louise, Beurre Die'. P.. B;sr. B. Ranee, Glout Morceao, 

 Knight's Monarch. Belmont, Thompson'-, Althorp Crassane.|| 



GhAOioLi, Sec..- A. T.,Oldhent-r '.--Plant your Gladioli, Irises, 

 Tulips, Hyacinths, and Crocuses, about two i tes below the 

 surface of the ground. The cause of the Glac • not flower- 

 ing is either owing to the roots havin oen taker, up in the 

 previous season before they were matured, or owing to the 

 plants having been in too dry a s e Inst year, when thev 

 should have made their fresh bulbs, after flowering.^ 



Grapes.— Tyro. -The Blanche (Vigne; is a very early white 

 Grape, with somewhat oval berries. It fruited last season in 



the nursery or Messrs. Lee, at Hammersmith. G. fl.-If 



you refer to the third edition of the Horticultural Society's 

 Catalogue of Fruits, instead of the second, you will feel sa- 

 tisfied that, according to it, your Grape is the Blue Frontignan. 



Its pedicels have ■ poxplisfa tioge, and it possesses so little of 

 the Frontignan flavour, that it ought to have been distin- 

 guished by a different name. Rusticus —The White Mus- 

 cat of Alexandria is, by some, called the White Tokay. The 

 Royal Muscadine may be properly added to your collection, 

 in widen the Black Hamburgh s are the strongest grower,. 

 If you can all their r«>ots 5 feet of border instead of 4, so 

 much the better. This variety is best adapted for close spur- 

 ring. !1 



Greenhouses.— y. a. 3.— A house 13 feet high in the back, 

 and 15 feet in the clear, should be 6 feci nigh in front, allow- 

 tog Sfeet for brickwork, and 3 feet for front lights. For 

 glazing the house sheet- glass is best; although dearest at 

 first, it is cheapest in the long-run. It is impossible to say 

 what length of 4-inch pipe you would require, without know- 

 ing the length of the house. A flow and return oa the front 

 will probably be sufficient. § 



Hkativo.— Inquisitor.— The attempt to employ earthen pipes 

 as conduits of hot water failed in the garden of the Horticul- 

 tural Society. It was found impracticable to prevent the 

 joints breaking. We can find no cement that will stand. 



Hothouses.— An Admirer of Plants has favoured us with a good 

 plan of a span-roof house ; but we see nothing so novel in 

 the construction as to make it worth publication. All such 

 houses are necessarily made upon such a plan. 



Insects.— Tonbridge Wells.— I do not think the insects sent are 

 the cause of the spot in Geranium-leaves ; if they be, it is the 

 Aphides which are the culprits ; for the insects transmitted 

 are nothing more than dead Plant-lice, which have been 



stung by a minute Ichneumon. R. B. B.— Gardeners, like 



Entomologists, should place all infected or suspected speci- 

 mens in quarantine, where they might be operated upon until 

 a clean bill of health was obtained. We can give you no 

 better an vice regarding the Mealy-bug than you will find in 

 last year's Chronicle, in some of the following pages : 443, 

 517, 589, 676, 735, 805, and p. 427 and 499 for this year. R. 



Try " Hereman's Dilution," advertised at page 663. 



C. M.— The Wheat- weevils are the Calandra oryzae. Pray 

 rear them, and see if their economy be the same as that of C. 



granarb. R. D. Lindsay.— As it would not be much 



trouble, I should be tempted to paint an infested tree tho- 

 roughly with a thick wash of lime and water, and see whe- 

 ther it had the desired effect. 1 shall be much obliged by 

 your giving me the result of your experiments. R.- — Ulls- 

 vater.— Your statement surprises me. I could not imagine 

 that the immersion of the larva? of the Brachen-cloch in undi- 

 luted gas-water, lime-water, and strong brine, would not 

 kili them. I have known many similar instances of pastures 

 being: as badly affected as yours, but the nuisance has always 

 vanished in a year or two, when the beetles have hatched, 

 and departed for a new locality. R. 



LAacE FnuiT.— 0. 1.— We must beg you to authenticate your 

 statement by giving your name— confidentially if you please. 



LvrrvCBB.—A Correspondent.— In order to preserve your Bath 

 Cos Lettuces, which are just beginning to cabbage, over 

 winter, put a frame over them, and make a trench all round, 

 with a gutter from it for the purpose of carrying away water. 

 Keep the lights as much closed as you can.t 



Morphology'.— A. 31.— You cannot have misunderstood us 

 more than by supposing that this subject is not open to con- 

 troversy. On the contrary, it is one peculiarly suited to dis- 

 cussion. It is, however, requisite that those who make 

 speeches, or write letters about it, should know of what they 

 talk. If a man who is so ignorant as to suppose that the sun 

 moves round the earth were to engage in a controversy upon 

 an astronomical question, he would be set down by all men 

 of common sense as a presumptuous blockhead. Some of the 

 people who have ventured to talk about Morphology are in an 

 exactly similar position, and their proceedings have been con- 

 temptible. You may think this a strong expression, but we 

 can find no term at hand more applicable to their doings. 

 There is nothing which lessens young men in the eyes of 

 their employers more than conceit ; and of this bad quality 

 some of the late proceedings relative to the present question 

 have produced an amazing crop. It is not a man's fault that 

 he is ignorant; nor is it to be imputed as blame to him that 

 he is dull-witted; but he is justly liable to censure when, 

 being both ignorant and dull-witted, he nevertheless ventures 

 to intrude his shallow opinions upon the public. What do 

 you say to a person who pretends to argue upon such 

 abstruse points of vegetable organisation as are involved in 

 the science of Morphology, not even knowing that a Dahlia 

 is not a liower ? Proh ! pudor. 



Moss.— A Subscriber. — Instead of nitrate of soda use gas-water 

 to destroy the Moss on your lawn. As that fluid varies 

 greatly in strength, we cannot say how much water should be 

 added to it. If very strong, it may have four parts of water. 

 Try it in a small quantity at first. It must be strong enough 

 to turn the Grass quite brown. 



Names of Yrvits.—J. B. B.— 1, Alfriston j 2, 5, ErownBeurre; 



3, probably Black Worcester; 4, Napoleon. || Tolla.—U 



you can send a fruit that has a slight shade of pink, from your 

 supposed Golden Pippin tree, it will be attended to. The true 

 old Golden Pippin can be purchased occasionally in London. ||

chilus. 



Peaches.— G. Af.— In addition to the Noblesse and Royal George 

 Peaches, for forcing in pots, the Grosse Mignonnc is recom- 

 mended for its eariiuess ; and the Bellegarde, being later than 



those above-mentioned, will afford a succession, and it bears 

 forcing well.ll 



Pelargoniums.— Clericus. — Shift those plants immediately 

 that are to be placed in the forcing-house, and leave the 

 others till the middle of January. The difference in the time 

 of the cuttings rooting arises probably from the constitution 

 of the plants, some sorts striking more rapidly than others. 

 Discard from your collection Nos. 4, 9, 12, 25, 28, 35,44,46, 

 49, and supply their places by Sultana, Oberon, Pulchellum, 

 Luna, Cleopatra, Symmetry, Hodge's Commodore, Lyne's 

 Duke of Cornwall, and Cyrus Superb.* 



Prot tion.— J. L.—As we cannot tell what sort of winter is 

 coming, it is impossible to say how much protection your pit 

 will require. We should, however, run the risk of covering 

 the lights with thatched frames or hurdles, which, in all pro- 

 bability, will be quit-3 sufficient, and much cheaper than the 

 other contrivances you nar.e. 



Roses.-— A. x.— The following selection of hardy Perpetual 

 Roses may be procured for about Is. 6d. each, viz., Antinous, 

 dark crimson; Bernard, pink, very fragraut; Comtede Paris, 

 light crimson, with a lilac tinge ; Fulgorie, bright rose ; Lady 

 Fordwick, deep rose blooms in clusters; Princesse Helene, 1

" . ~ ~ 4.U J i 1 € Y W " U * lwul Ul U| e stem, in 



spring;, when the buds are starting, let the branches be cut off 

 as closely as possible. J ^ 



Tomato-sauce.— J. R.— To make this, when the Tomatoes are 

 quife ripe cut them in two, press out the pulp, and separate 

 the seeds; then put tnem into a skillet, with some savourv 

 sauce, and a little salt. When of the thickness of Pea-soup 



cloth, boil it to the consistence of 



, r jars, and in a day or two after pour 



over it lard or butter, and tie down with oiled paper. 



Traiv Oil.— R. inquires whether train-oil is injurious to the 

 growth of young forest-trees, if applied sparingly, for the 

 purpose of protecting them from the injury so generally 

 caused by rabbits and hares? Also, whether any vegetable 

 -*•- may be more or less advantageously employed than 

 -oil for the destruction of the muscle-scale on Annie and 

 Pear-trees ? R. yy aa 



Yews.— J. W. Y. — It will be impossible to render your Yew- 

 hedge thick at the bottom without cutting it back somewhat* 

 an operation best performed in the months of March or 

 August. We should not, however, cut it down ; severe 

 cutting back and thinning will probably answer every pur- 

 pose. The point is to induce the old wood to form buds- and 

 this can only be effected by letting light into the branches 

 freely, and stopping the flow of sap when it is strongest. 



Miscellaneous. — M. M.— The curious scaly bodies from "your 

 Achimenes are buds, or rather bulbs ; for a bulb is only a de- 

 ciduous bud. They appear in great abundance when any- 

 thing occurs to hinder the formation of flowers. Each will 



make a new plant. Anne— Vie do not know what Rhodalia 



is, and therefore we cannot advise you as to the cultivation 

 of it. We should doubt the exactness of the information 



furnished you by your Cader Idris guide. M. A. B.—U you 



mean by A. longifiora, Amaryllis longifolia, the best way to 

 treat it is to keep it in a large pot in a greenhouse during 

 winter, and to plunge it in the summer in a pond of water. 



A Florist. — There is no such plant as Azalea japonica. " 



— Sylvanus.— Never cut down Oak, Ash, or Chesnut,when 

 ..rst planted out ; nor afterwards, if they grow well, until they 

 become very strong ; then they may be cut back for coppice- 

 wood with most advantage. W. F. C— An Evergreen Oak 



hedge is nothing like as strong and effective a fence as a 



Thorn one. Bignonia jasminoides is a tender plant. 



Aivruv. — Your list of Roses contains a vary good selection of 



hardy kinds. t Z. Y. X. — It is only necessary to protect the 



heads of your tender Roses budded on the wild Rose stock. 

 Now is a very good time to plant Quince cuttings.«J— - 

 A. W. G. B.— Take up your Moutan Pseonyonthe first dry day, 

 and remove all the old soil from its roots ; then plant it in a 

 compost consisting of fresh loam, sandy peat, and well- 

 decayed cow^dung, in nearly equal parts. If a little super- 

 phosphate of lime is mixed in the soil it will be of great 

 benefit. Roses require a rich soil, and should therefore be 

 frequently manured, particularly if they are in a dry situa- 

 tion.^ Neverfailing. — Crocuses, Snowdrops, Hyacinths, 



Violets, common double Daisies, and such things, will 

 enliven your Ward's Case during winter, if you keep it in a 



room with afire. /. W. — Strike the Almond stones on the 



edge with a hammer. E. H.— Gesnera macrorhiza, Du- 



mortier ; Cuphea strigillosa, Humboldt and Kunth; Clitoria 

 fulgeus (no such plant); Franciscea Pohliana, Hooker; 

 Franciscea hydrangeiiormis, Pohl; Nemophila discoidalis, 

 Fischer (?) ; Epacris miniata, Lindl.; Aerides maculosum, 

 LindL; Achimenes picta, Benthum; Comparettia falcata, 

 Poppig; Gloxinia discolor (no such plant); Anemone Go- 

 vaniana, Wallich. All the other names are Dr. Lindley's. 



We must now beg for a truce to this sort of questioning. 



E. A. Nicholson.— To preserve your Peas from birds, stretch 

 twine round and over the plantation, at convenient distances, 

 about 2 feet from the ground, attaching to it here and there 

 pieces of red-coloured cloth. A Potato stuck full of feathers, 

 and attached to a stake by a piece of twine, so as to be easily 

 moved bv the winds, has also the effect of frightening 

 birds.t— — F. L.-In pruning your Vines, which are trained 

 up the rafters of a greenhouse, cut the young wood back, 

 quite close to the main stem, every season.!— -T. Ltttle- 

 wood.—Yo\x may enlarge your Rhubarb beds by dividing and 



planting the roots in February.: A Friend.— Next week.i 



A. B.—A solution of corrosive sublimate, in either water 



or spirit, will certainly prevent your Japan cabinet from 

 being destroyed by worms, if you can apply it; if not, it is 

 possible that trimmings of Russia leather may drive off the 

 enemy; failing this, we should fill it with bruised Laurel 

 leaves, and place it in a temperature of 100° for a couple of 



hours . t. G. tf.-Gyneiium is not mentioned in the 



" Penny Cyciopajdia." Rhizomorpha perfects its growth m 

 subterranean places. You will some day hear all about it 



from Mr Berkeley. Ai*r». - Florists' flowers are the 



fleers selected by florists for cultivation, which produce 

 varieties from seed, and which varieties are susceptible of 

 bemgcontired by propagation. An ideal standard of form 

 is established, to attain which is perfection; every approach to 

 Sis standard among seedlings is taken advantage of, and seed 

 is saved from such varieties till the desired form is attained, 

 to which must be united colour and substance. An excellent
