, th* clu. 



pruning reduced tlic bud.* on the vine to a smn 

 amount. When trie roots begin to Teed in th 

 fpring they lake up sap mid nutriment just as Uv 

 oa though there hud been DO pruning, la a to' 

 days the vine is overcrowded irlth sap on acconi 

 of the small amount of buds to exhaust it. Th 

 overplus sap in t tic vine forces out buds from tl: 

 ground the entire length of the vine until they ai 

 of an the lent numbers to exhaust l lie supply of sap — 

 that is, until the demand for sap is equal to the 

 supply. Aud tins is urrived ill before the fruit be- 

 gins to blossom. Bo it i-i leuilv seen that autumn 

 pruniog is nearly or quite Joit. Now, the fruit 

 comes into bio**.. in lntc, say In June; this makes a 

 n.iv d.-imind for vi|i, but the young » I is errnw- 



after the vines are in blossom, unit the lubor is 

 nearly lost. The fruit bus dropped from thfl 'In- 

 lers, and the only benefit is to add size and quality 

 lo the scattering Irmt on th. clusters. Better bo a 

 f. xv .lavs earlier if it cannot be done as soon as the 

 first blossoms appear. By this thorough pruning 

 the lines are filled with sup again ju.-l the right 

 tune to set the fruit thick on the clusters. When 

 that begins to make growth then it will take the 

 preference in the sap over the young wood, as wos 

 clciulysliowiiiu my previous article, by I hi' growth 

 of young wood being nearly stopped until the Noil 

 was about matured. 



Vines on an upright trellis in the vineyard where 

 tin v Imve but a given space to occupy, require dif- 

 fereul treatment in summer pruning. In all cases 

 where conveuieot, built! the trellis east and west, 

 train tho bearing wood up on the south side of the 

 trellis. When the trellis is filled with bearing 

 wood, in summer pruning shorten in ull the 

 branches to the second wire or slut from the ground 

 — then let the branches below llmt extend without 

 shortening, but keep the laterals oil' of them, This 

 conclusion was arrived ut by studying the course 

 of the sap, and bow it was applied or exhausted.— 

 The sap i* taken up by theendsof the stn.dl ftbroul 

 roots, passes into the pore* or arteries between the 

 grains of wood , in ttn-n, ,t ,. ,,,,„. I up, and

THE FLOWER GARDEN -No. XL 



Is our issue of March 2Cth wc gave drawings 

 and descriptions of tho earliest of all spring flow- 

 ers, the Snow Drops. Following these we have 

 the Crocus family— beautiful in form, varied and 

 gay in their attire. Too little attention has been 

 given to these fine flowers. They make the gar- 

 den pleasant when but for them it would be dreary, 

 and at a time too, when, after a long winter of cold 

 and snows and storms, the sight of the simplest 

 flower is most grateful. All admire them, yet in 

 how few gardens is n fair collection, or even one 

 or two varieties to be found. Could they be planted 

 when in flower, or in spring for early flowering, 

 everybody would have them, but they should be 

 set out in the fall, and are forgotten at that season 

 by most planters. Now we advise all lovers of 

 flowers to obtain a few dozen of the best varieties 

 next September, and to aid in making the selection 

 we give drawings of two and descriptions of most 

 ,f the best varieties. Fine bulbs lit for flowering, 

 an be obtained of most of the nurserymen, and at 

 he principal seed stores, for about 60 cents per 



The earliest variety we have is the Cloihof Gold, 

 of which we give an illustration, from a flower 

 we picked for the purpose, on the lSfh of 



March. It is a lively golden yellow, with a brov 

 ripe, finely feathered on the edges, in i 

 center of each petal, as will he seen by the cngr; 

 ing, which also exhibits its size.

TnEEE is no difficulty in making

 path, the widlb nud form required its whole length, 

 placing the stakes within three feet of each other, 

 if the walk is curved. Then remove the earth 

 from between two rows of stakes to the depth of 

 eighteen inches, or two feet. This will make a 

 ditch of the exact form of the path. FU1 this 

 ditch to within six inches of the top with cobble- 

 stones, bricks, or any refuse stone that may be 

 handy, packing them so as to have a smooth sur-

 Cover this first with about three inches of coarse 

 gravel, and then with three inches of fine. The 

 lowest part of the path should, if possible, be con- 

 nected with some drain, as an outlet for the water,

Oun friend should have been a little more spe- 

 cific. Are ull the trees affected in this way? Is 

 the soil drained ? or does the water lay a good part 

 of the year within a foot or so of the surfuce? and 

 is not the surface sometimes covered? What is 

 the nature of the soil and subsoil * Was the 

 ground subsoiled before the trees were planted I 

 Are other orchards in the neighborhood flourish- 

 ing on a similar soil and with the same treatment » 

 With sucb facts before them we have no doubt 

 of our correspondents could tell the cause aud 

 the remedy.

We have no special liking for mound* — they arc 

 too stiff and artificial — too fussy— look like chil- 

 dren's play-houses. Our climate is so hot that n 

 small mound becomes dry and the Dowers per- 

 ish unless especial attention is giveu to watering. 

 Among the prettiest annuals are the Ten Week 

 Stock, Balsam or Ladies' Slipper, Aster, Phlox
