TASTE IN PARIS. 



b generally admitted that the French are a 

 people of fine taste, and this taste is carried into 



lallest mailers, even what we would consider 

 trifles. Even Ibc apple pediar would arrange hia 

 fruit nicely in bis basket, putting the red, perhaps, 

 in the centre, surrounded by the yellow, and the 

 green nicely arranged nmund tbem, and all made 

 bright arjd glossy by rubbing, instead of tumbling 

 tbem promiscuously together, as is the custocn 

 bere. Then the cherries will be fastened loaeiick 

 by the stems, with leaves interspersed, making a 

 pretty and tempting boqxttt. All the American 

 seller would think of, would be to twist them up 

 in a piece of brown paper. We have seen some- 

 thing like this done in other parts of Europe, but 

 never recollect of seeing anything of the kind in 

 this country. A correspondent of the London 

 Cottage Gardener, writing from Paris, calls atten- 

 tion to the fact wo have mentioned, and gives a 

 very good drawing ofone of these Chrrry Boquttt, 

 and also of a Terj cheap and convenient Garden

ik.be out of pli 

 itable. All rough garden work, su 

 walks, grading, trenching, Ac, should be done in 

 the Autumn, ir possible. Our springs are short, 

 unpleasant and uncertain, and much work that 

 remains undone until spriDg, remains also in the 

 same condition during the summer. Those who 

 planted LtUuat or .Spinach in September for early 

 spring use, should now give it a little protection. 

 Beds of Crocuses. Hjacinlhs, and other bulbs, 

 Should have a coatmg of manure or leaves thrown 

 over them All pkots i uat are not cc . mp l ele iy 

 hardy and that need protection, should be covered. 

 This may be done in many ways, old boxes or bar- 

 rels with holes bored through their tops am good 

 lor shrubs, roses and the like and straw mats 

 and evergreen boughs are all useful. Ev ' nour 

 spent in protecting Strawberry, Raspberry and 

 many other plauts and vines, even our bardv 

 vines, is time well expended, as the next ^J* 

 season will most abundantly prove. 



Many tolerable gardeners seem to think it 

 disgrace to have tbeir gardens look slovenly ail 

 Ibe winter, but there is no necessity, and indeed 

 no excuse for this. All the weeds should be cut 

 d own in the full, and decayed leaves and litter of 

 every description should be removed from the gar- 

 den and placed upon the manure heap. Stakes 

 used for supporting plants, bean poles, Ac, should 

 and stored away until again needed.

 manure be applied ? I hove seen several orchards 



the tree, to the depth of a foot or more, extending 

 but three or four feet each way from it. Is this 

 right? The roots of a tree will always extend as 

 far as tbe top, and therefore fill a circle with roots 

 twice the diameter of it Sometimes they will ex- 

 tend much further. The extremities of tbe roots 

 supply the nourishment to the tree. Consequent- 

 ly the manure should be scattered evenly over 

 this circle. In orchards where the trees stand 

 thirty or forty feet apart, tbe whole ground should

PEAR TREE BLIGHT. 



Eds. RnulKbw-Yorkbb:— A correspondent, I 

 observe, is troubled with the bark blight of tbe 

 Pear tree. My pear trees being likewise diseased, 

 my remedy as practiced has been to underdrain 



the land, make tbe soil lighter and more porous 

 lhout the roots, scrape off the black bork to that 

 ffhicti is alive, and wash the body repeatedly dur- 

 ing the summer witb caustic soda wash or strong 

 ioap suds, although caustic soda wash is the best. 

 Id so doing I have had maiked success in promot- 

 ing the health and vigor of the tree, and in tbe 

 perfection and quality of its fruit.— S. N. Holmbs,
