 In that for Horticultural matter, we purpose at 

 the present time to say a tew worda on the put 

 and the future. Ontbe (list, we need s*y hot Utile 

 to those who have beenonr friends and readers the 

 presenter put years. As oor subscribers, however, 

 are dow active In exhibiting their papers to th«tr 

 friends as specimen", for the purpose of inducing 

 them to subscribe, and aswe have every day scores, 

 and sometimes hundreds of applications for copies, 

 from those who design to become constant readers 

 of oar Journal, ehould an inspection prove the 

 good name It has gained to be well founded, a few 

 words to them will not be out of place. 



Although but about one-eighth of the Rua.iL Is 

 devoted to Horticultural subject*, it contains each 

 year enough reading on this important matter, to 

 make two books of about 500 pages, and which 

 would coBt fur more than this Journal. No weakly 

 paper gives as much Information in regard to the 

 culture of fruit, vegetable?, and Uowers, and we 

 confidently challenge comparison with either of 

 tho exclusively Horticultural Journals. Our illus- 

 trations are moro numerous, and better than thoso 

 of auy other paper In America, while our reports 

 of tho proceedings of the Horticultural and Pome- 

 logical Societies, held in all parts of the country, 

 are acknowledged to be uuequaled for correctness 

 and completeness. 



We have endeavored to make our instructions 

 as plain and practicable ua possible, avoiding al- 

 most all scientific and technical term?. We have 

 tried to convey valuable Information in a manner 

 thm could not be misunderstood. We have labored

 our aim and motto, we shall not forget, occasion

 We shall enter the New Year with fresh zeal, and 

 talk more fluently than over of foliage, fruits an

see cultivators seem to differ widely with regard to 

 the merits of the Norihmi Mu,a*vir Graft. There 

 are but few questions which have only one aide; 

 and, after duly considering the opinion*, all must 

 to the conclusion that this has :uo. Now, 

 gentlemen, I will give this contested grape a fair 

 trial, on all side?, let the result be what it will, and 

 if 1 fail in this attempt 1 am open to conviction.— 

 So, we will now proceed to trial. 



The northern Muscadine Is brought to the stand 

 with two or three serious charges against Its char- 

 acter. />,.-. At sundry limes and in divers places 

 it haabeen accused with imparting a certain odorif- 

 erous perfume, peculiar to its nature. It cannot 

 t>e denied but what this charge is true— that Is, 

 alter the grape is dead ripe. Still, it may be obji 

 Uonable to some under any circumstances; there- 

 fore, it is but fair to admit that il U a musky grapi 

 when dead ripe, but is not objectionable generally 



Sfcoud. It is charged that the berries do not ad 

 here to the stem after they are ripe. This to to 

 true, but is almost entirely removed by age. Stll 



Third, and the last objection Is, they urill m 

 kttp a great length of time. This is a little e.ta;

Clay Boil, Auaih.— Wishing to obtain some in- 

 formation concerning the best method of prepar- 

 ing a clay soil for a garden, I thought I would 

 make some inquiries through your excellent pa- 

 per. I have lately plowed the ground, and now 

 what next? Would rotten sawdust be good, mixed 

 with manure, charcoal, and black mellow earth? 

 This Is the way I have thought of fixing it; and, 

 also, would rotlen sawdust be good to pat around 

 fruit trees?— A Subscribbr, Olena, Huron Co. 

 I 

 Remarks.— The plan proposed of adding mel- 

 low earth, charcoal, manure, Ac, Is good. Any- 

 thing that will make such a soil more friable will 

 be fonnd of advantage, but good drainage is the 

 best nmeliorator of a stiff, Impervious clay. No 

 one, until ho has tried it, or seen its effects, can 

 realize bow completely the character of such a soil 

 is changed by thorough drainage, A gentleman 

 in tho eastern part of this county planted an or- 

 chard In the spring of ltlfift, in clay, and nearly all 

 the trees died before the next spring. Some tho't 

 the trees were poor, others thought they had been 

 l.j.ily tbvioiud During the summer of 1857 tho 

 gronnd was well drained with tile. Indeed, the 

 work was so well done that many were not slow 

 la expressing tho opinion that the owner was 

 burying money. In the fall of '57, trees were 

 planted, and during the last summer every one 

 made a fine growth. Halt-rotten sawdust, if put 

 on thick, makes a very good mulching.

Vineyards ox Lonc. Island— At the me 

 of the Farmers Club at New York, Mr. PlOVOl 

 Williamsburg, was examined relative to hUvery 

 extraordinary vineyard there. He produced 

 uae sere fifteen hundred gallons of wine in i 

 season. He makes one gallon of brandy out of five 

 gallon, of his wine. Ila gave samples, which 

 tasted. The brandy was pronounced purs and 

 excellent, w ,j WM \ u \ ieu > worth eight dollars 

 gallon. The wine, therefore, can make 300 gallon 

 of brandy, wr- 



I'ki-it is s total faili 

 true, we had a good supply of strawberries, goose- 

 berries and currants, but apples and pears are few, 

 and terribly " squirmy'' at that. Our old orchards 

 present a blighted and sickly appearance. The 

 leaves are curled and pallid. They blossomed pro- 

 fusely in the spring, but they make no show of 

 fruit now. This stunted, unhealthy aspect is wide- 

 spread, tending to discourage and unsettle many 

 of our most persevering Penologists. Some at- 

 tribute this incipient decay ot western orchards to 

 the cold of the last three winters deadening and 

 devitalizing the sap, while some censure the mighty 

 deluges of rain which have fallen on our prairies 

 this season. Whatever tbe cause, no Horticul- 



suming our fairest orchards. Young orchards of 

 three and four years' progress look healthy and 

 of eight to sixteen years appear 

 consumed and cauterized. There seems to be a 

 stage of six years in which young trees thrive ad- 

 mirably at the West, and when the trunks obtain 

 the magnitude of a stive-pipe tbey begin to kill at 

 yield to some pestiferous cause, and 

 pine. 



Seedling trees do better than any kind of root- 

 grafted stocks. They always bear bountifully, and 

 the winter's cold affects them but slightly. It is 

 now the settled experience of most nurserymen 

 here, that seedling orchards grafted in the top are 

 the ones most profitable and permanent iu the 

 prairie country. Examine the roots of a young 

 four year old seedling, and the best spei 

 nnrsery- grown tree. The 

 ramifying, fibrous suckers ri 

 of growth and developme: 

 around, while tbe other hi 

 prongs barely sufficient to c 

 Mi ion. It 1b strange that be 

 wisdom from experience. 



Were I asked by a young Western Horticulturist 

 what trees to select for an orchard, I would reply, 

 gi nay time. The third year top-graft 

 them by cutting away one half the top, 

 following year. In this way )ou secure a straight, 

 robust tree, while you avoid the crooked trunks 

 some varieties, like the Famnue, and are sure 

 good feeders at the root besides. Take up yo 



nrney one hundred miles 



removing a tree. Nevi

 The highest rise of ground on
