THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE. 



[Dec. 21, 



■mall sowiuic <>l u«e Early trame Pea rnny be made ; they will 

 come In a little earlier than t »e sown in spring. Raf ics, 



and all kinds of fro It tree*, may now bs pruned. With regard 

 to the former, which produce their fruit entirely Oil the previ 

 year** wood, the old shoots should be removed, and four or rive 

 of the strongest of the >oung ones tied up la tueir places, cut- 

 ting clean off by the root ail the rest of the young shoots. Alter 

 they are tied up to the stakes, shorten them to 4 feet in height. 

 In exposed situations, a good way of training Raspberries is 

 to tie the points of one- half of the shoots on the stools respec- 

 tirely with each other, thus forming arches, which have rather a 

 Deat appearance. Those Cottagers who possess a frame, con- 

 taining a few choice plants, should keep a sharp look-out for 

 Insects ; for in winter, the plants being comparatively inactive, 

 cannot readily put forth fresh leaves to compensate for any 

 destroyed. Keep every thing inside the frame as dry as possible, 

 and give air every fine day, when not too cold.— J. Mc H.

Achimbnks.— //. O.— The Exhibition Committee not having 

 stated the depth of the pans in which these plants are to be 

 grown, we hare no authority f<>r doing so. It is, however, 

 obvious that the word is to be taken in its common accepta- 

 tion, and as distinguished from a pot. We apprehend that a 

 pan is a vessel mucti broader than deep; and a pot on the 

 contrary is much deeper than broad. A vessel which shall 

 be of equal breadth and depth, or nearly so, is neither a pot 

 nor a pan. As to the sorts of Achimenes, you will see that 

 6 species are required. If gardeners are so ill advised as to 

 exhibit varieties of A. rosea, or longiflora, as species, they will 

 be disqualified. The species of Achimenes ar*, 1, rosea; 2, 

 coccinea; 3, pedunculata ; 4, longiflora; 5, multiflora; 6, hirsuta; 

 and 7, picta. All can be easily had except multiflora, which 

 is not much worth growing, and is not required to make up 

 the number. 



to find his questions noticed 

 along with other information relating to Bees, in due time 

 for him to begin his apiary .J. W. 

 Bignoxia jASMixoiDES.— Z.— It was a mistake of one of our 

 correspondents to suppose that there are two sorts of this 

 plant. There is but one. The difference lies in the skill of 

 the cultivator. 

 Books.— T. J.— Newman's book is published by Audot, 8, Rue 



dePaon, Paris. H. ,1/.— There is no book on Entomology 



fit for gardeners. The best articles we have are those which 

 appear in this Journal. Study them, and you will know as 

 much as is practically useful. 

 Calceolarias.— A Constant Reader.— Kinghorn*s Duchess of 

 Sutherland and Professor Wilson ; Standish's Guercino, 



Celebration, and Illumination; Green's Zebrina.* J. il/.— 



Green's Prince Albert, Miss Antrobus (improved), Alba 

 coccinea maxima ; Barnes's Bridesmaid ; Holmes's Prince of 

 Wales, and Standishii.* 

 Civerabias.— C. J. R.— Red Rover, Captivation, Henderson's 



No. 7, and Regina Victoria.* 

 Creepers. — Northwood. — Cut back the withered branches of 

 such plants as Clematis— but not till the spring, when they 

 are beginning to shoot. 

 Cemext.— A Constant Reader.— Bo not use iron cement at all; 

 it is a very bad material in some respects, though useful in 

 others. Its badness consists in the difficulty of ever getting 

 it out of a joint into which it has been introduced, and thus 

 apparatus cannot be used again, if it requires to be taken to 

 pieces. Its use consists in its excellence as a cement. But 

 the same excellence is found in rope untwisted, smeared witu 

 red-lead and oil, and driven by iron tool* into the joints ; 

 and that sort of cement may be, of course, removed by 

 burning. 

 Filbert trees.— A. W.— Filbert trees will not bear well as 

 underwood in plantations, except, perhaps, in peculiar situa- 

 tions, such as those in which the wild Hazel grows naturally, 

 on steep banks facing the sun. A loamy soil, not too deep, 

 is proper for them. They require pruning; but the mode 

 must be varied according to the soil and situation. Your 

 trees, 3$ feet high, ought to bear the second year after 

 removal. || 

 Forest trees.—/. D.— Leave the shoots to become trees; 

 there is little fear of their blowing off at the stool. When 

 branches grafted on large arms of fruit trees are blown off, 

 the cause of such an accident is quite unlike anything that 

 can occur to strong shoots from the stumps of forest trees. 

 Fruit-trues.— W. D.— The following will probably succeed in 

 the north of Scotland, if you keep their roots near the sur- 

 face :— Apples, dessert— Oslin, Eaily Red Margaret, Pitraaston 

 Nonpareil, Wormsley Pippin, Ribstone Pippin, Baxter's Pear- 





main, Court of Wick, Ciaygate Pearmain, Pearson's Plate. 

 Braddick's Nonpareil, Scarlet Nonpareil, Sturmer Pippin, 

 For kitchen use— Dumelow's Seedling, Tower of Glammis, 

 Keswick Collin, Hawthornden, Bedfordshire Foundling, 

 Round Winter Nonesuch, Mere de Menace, Northern Green- 

 ing Royal Russet, Waltham Abbey Seedling, Yorkshire 

 Greening, Rymer. Pears— Hessel, Gratioli (of Jersey), Winter 

 Nelis, Althorp Crassane, Knight's Monarch. 11 



Gam::.— D. C. L. says— "In your answer to a correspondent 

 who complains of his plantations being injured by game, you 

 say that he has no remedy ; and you speak of the hardship of 

 the Game Laws. I beg to observe that everybody may 

 destroy rabbits on his own land; as to hares, if they are so 

 numerous as to do the mischief your correspondent complains 

 of, he may catch enough to pay for a game certificate ; where, 

 then, is the hardship?" 



Giass.— G. S. L.— The objects of using sheet glass are these: 

 —1, security against hail, which is afforded by its thickness 

 and elasticity ; 2, good appearance, large squares of glass 

 being handsomer than small ones ; 3, increased light, the 

 opaqueness of laps being avoided. It is obvious that the two 

 last objects are best attained by having the squares as large 

 as possible; and we do not think the first will be interfered 

 with : of that, however, we have at present no direct proof. 

 If you have small squares of sheet glass you have more ex- 

 pense in the glaziers' labour than if you have large ones. At 

 Chatsworth the squares are nearly 4 feet long in "the great 

 Conservatory." We should, however, think that for general 

 purposes 18 inches are enough. 



Greexhouses.— Anon.— The use of hollow walls ingreennouses 

 is partly to keep them warm, and partly to keep them dry. 

 They also should be rather cheaper than solid walls. They 

 have no other advantage. When a room has had the dry-rot, 

 nothing is gained by flooring it with Oak— for dry-rot fungi 

 will attack one kind of wood as readily as another; and as 

 for Oak, just think of what happens to ships. If you can get 

 the timber thoroughly soaked in sulphate of iron, or corrosive 

 sublimate, or chloride of zinc, any of those substances will 

 protect it; but it must be thoroughly impregnated. 



Heatixo.— Z— If you take the lids of troughs off, in a green- 

 house, in winter, you will kill or spoil all your plants. A 

 greenhouse should be kept dry in winter. Give greenhouse 

 plants a moist atmosphere when they are about to grow, and 



in full growth, and at no other time. A Beginner.— My all 



means use iron troughs with moveable lids. Use one row 

 only of such troughs. It is plenty. Certainly, glass frames 

 for guarding the Vine border are much better than anything 

 else ; and you will not want pipes. 



Inuiax Cabinet.— E. M.—\f you will refer to p. 798 you will 

 find an answer to your question.^ 



Insects.— Z.— We never heard of such an insect as Tentania 

 aurata, and imagine it must be a misprint. We hope some 

 one acquainted witb the species will be able to give us its 



correct name, and the family to which it belongs. R. 



H. R. S.— Thanks for the worms: they are, we believe, the 

 Gordius argillaceus. R. W. S. S.-The dirty gummy exu- 

 dation on your Rhododendron leaves may be caused by 

 insects, but we can find none on the specimens sent. If you 

 can detect any, and will inclose them in a pill-box, we will 



tell you their name. R. . 



Manure.— T. D.— The must or marc of a cider-mill is of very 

 small value. Throw it to the dunghill; it will be of a little 



use there, and there only. 

 Misletoe.— A correspondent reminds us that we did not name 

 the Whitethorn as one of the trees which this plant affects. 

 We beg to supply the omission now. There is nothing which 

 the Misletoe prefers to Whitethorn, Apples, and Crabs. 



Names of Fruits.— C. H. W.—\, Dumelow's Seedling: 2, 

 Court of Wick; 3, 9, Rymer; 4, Dumelow's Seedling; 5,

2, Ceterach officinarum; 3, Rumex §anguineus.§ A.M. 



— Ophiopogon spicatus ; if you wish for correct names you 

 should send good specimens. How is anybody to judge 



correctly of auch a morsel as you sent before ? G. W. H.— 



Some species of Trichosanthes, a poisonous gourd ; the 

 species not determinable from such a bit as you have sent. 

 The Fox Grape is Vitis vulpina, and derives its name from 

 the foxiness of its ripe berries ; some persons like the taste, 



we think it particularly disagreeable. S. W.— Apparently 



the smooth variety of Rosa Carolina; certainly not R. lucida. 



IV. Mitchell.— Ceanothus azureus. A Constant Reader. 



The double dwarf Almond (Prunus japonic*). E. C. — Pit- 



cairnia flammea,notstaminea. — B.— Oncidium sanguineum. 

 C. W. K. — Eulophia macrostachya. 



Natural Classifications.— A Student. — We have your paper 

 in type : but neither we ncr our printers can decipher some 

 parts of it. Will you give us your address, and read the proof 

 yourself? 



Pears. — W. Bartlett.— The gable end of a house, 27 feet by 20 



feet high, is an excellent situation for Pears. If the soil is 



good tne roots will thrive very well beneath the paving 



bricks. Marie Louise and Glout Morceau are suitable varieties 

 to plant. || 



Pelargoniums.— I. M.— Matilda, Luna, Sir R. Peel, Erectum, 

 Pulchellum, and Duke of Cornwall.* 



Rainwater. — R. U.— For conducting-pipes zinc is useless. 

 Lead has the evil of contaminating the water, and the purer 

 the water the more the mischief. We should have said use 

 cast-iron pipes; but since you do not like them, you muit 

 take refuge in glazed earthenware. 



Roses. — J. C. Clinch. — If you put your Tea Roses under a north 



wall, without protection, you may reckon upon losing them, 



if the winter is severe. But if you protect them well with 



straw, they will, probably, take no harm there, especially if 



a sheltered place can be found. You are well advised not to 



plant them under a south wall ; they ou.4ht to be kept back 

 in the spring. 



Spabaxis.— F. IF.— Pot them now in stiff loam, not clay, in 

 pots thoroughly well drained. Check them in winter by keep- 

 ing them cool, and give them a little b;.ttom-heat, if you can, 



when they begin to grow in earnest. These rules will bring 

 you good flowers. 



Stables.— Eques.— We would place a loft over a stable, if it 

 was possible to do so, because of its convenience, and 

 because, as the ceiling will then be of the same temperature, 

 or nearly so, as the stable itself, the steam from the horses 

 will not be so likely to condense upon it. We have, how- 

 ever, put your question in the hands of a friend conversant 

 with such matters, and his answer is this :— " We do not un- 

 derstand how a loft should preserve a stable from damp, nor 

 how, under all circumstances, it should cause warmth. An 

 inclosed space, whether it be a loft or merely the triangle of 

 the roof, will produce a more equal temperature in the apart- 



ment beneath tuan when the ratters, themselves form the 

 ceiling, even though they be plastered. A stable or a cham- 

 ber which is immediately under a roof will always be cold in 

 winter and hot in summer. The ventilation of a stable is 

 best effected by a wooden trunk six or eight inches square 

 over the head of each horse, rising above the roof, and termi- 

 nating in a cowl, or in a cap, so as to prevent the possibility 

 of a downward current. To insure this, there must of course 

 be provision for admit ring fresh air at some place not liable 

 to give the horses cold; and such a place is much more 

 easily found in a large than in a small stable. The comfort 

 of the horse is much promoted by paving each stall with a 

 comparatively small descent from head to heel, but with 

 a considerable fall from each side to the centre. Above all, 

 let the floor of the stable be higher than the surrounding 

 earth, especially on a clay soil.'M. 



The Naturalists' Almanack. — We have received from a 

 gentleman who claims the authorship of this production, 

 noticed at p. 815, an angry letter, complaining of the manner 

 in which it was criticised. We had no idea that so estimable 



a naturalist as Mr. wa3 concerned in writing it, and we 



have too much regard for his reputation to make matters 

 worse by publishing his letter. Upon looking to the work in 

 question we must say that we agree with the writer of the 

 critique in the opinion he expressed about it. O ur correspondent 

 excuses himself for the mcagreness of the information it con- 

 tains, by his "being limited to a certain number of pages;" 

 and he denies the truth of the critic's complaint that his 

 nomenclature of insects is such that " our best Entomologists 

 are sometimes puzzled to know what the insects are to which 

 the names belong." The first excuse is inadmissible ; and 

 with regard to the second, we will only ask where the English 

 reader will find the following genera :— Euthalia, Anthocaris, 

 Steropes, Tephrosia, Chariptera, and Arge? They do not 

 occur in the works of Curtis or Stephens, and have never 

 come under our own observation. 



The Weeping Hawthorn.— H. J.— This is Crataegus oxya- 

 cantha pendula ; it in no way differs from the common 

 Thorn, except in its habit being more pendulous. There is no 

 distinct species with that habit or name. % 



Transmutation of Corn.— Our kind correspondent, under 

 date, Cork, Dec. 13, will see by our statement last week, that 

 the information had been previously obtained. Everybody is 

 liable to such things ; and no people mere than Editors of 

 Newspapers. There is no harm done after all. 



Verbenas.— C. 1. R— Youell's Princess Royal, white; Gir- 

 ling's Boule de Feu, orange scarlet; Amethystina, lilac; 

 Melindres superba, scarlet; Catleugh's Ne Plus Ultra, rose i 

 Ivery's purpurea perfecta.* 



Vines.— .4 Subscriber, Limerick.— For a Peach-house, and as a 

 succession, Black Hamburgh, Royal Muscadine, Black 

 Prince. The Victoria Vine is considered the same as the 

 Black Hamburgh. Walter.— The White Muscat of Alex- 

 andria has not been surpassed in point of flavour by any new 

 introduction yet known. You may therefore plant 2 of it in 

 your hothouse; 1 White, and 1 Black Frontignan ; 1 Black 



Prince; 2 Black Hamburgh; 1 Black St. Peter's.!! ■ 



F. G. G.—-2, Black Muscat of Alexandria; Black Damascus, 

 White, Black, and Grizzly Frontignans; or, as these three 

 ripen about the same time, if you omit the White, according 

 to the conditions of your request, you must plant another 

 White Muscat of Alexandria in addition to the one you had 



previously determined on.[j 

 VixE-BORDBRS.— M. C. D.— Pebbles buried in the earth cannot 

 warm it, but they assist in keeping it drained and pervious 

 to the air ; and if by that name you intend fragments of sand- 

 stone, they are useful as a means of retaining moisture in dry 

 weather. Be sure to keep your border sloping at the b( £ to ™- 

 towards one corner, and have there a drain to carry off the 



superfluous moisture. 



Walnut Trees.- T. B.H. - The distance at which these 

 should be planted ought not to be less than 30 feet. In ncn 

 soil, 60 feet would not be too much. " Juglans, ' p. 798, esti- 

 mates 160 trees to an acre, or 1 6£ feet distance each way, on 

 land worth 2l. rent per annum; but this, as you observe, is 

 certainly far too close. The French allow from 30 to 72 feet 

 distance, according to the soil. i 

 Weeds in Manure.-^. W-The best way of destroy ing the 

 seeds of weeds in manure heaps is to mix the latter, "yarn- 

 ing over, with such] substances as will induce ^mentation, 

 and consequently heat, and germination of the seeds i ; for n 

 the absence of light the vegetation of these beyond a certain 

 stage must cease. U

 have been a little sunburnt; but syringing would not have 



prevented that. An Old Correspondent.-**** && your
