COMMON LOCUST. | 
Within a few years, many of our enterprizing landholders have 
been devoting their attention to planting extensive tracts with this 
tree, the wood of which is in so much request in ship building. 
An acre of these trees planted at two feet distant each way, will | 3 
contain 10,890—at three feet distant, 4,840—and, at four feet dis- 
tive than that devoted to this purpose. 
LIQUORICE. 
The Glycyrrhiza glabra, or Liquorice, may be cultivated to equal 
perfection in the United States, as in any other country. It delights 
in a light rich sandy soil, and the preduet is so great, that it would 
yield an immense profit to the cultivator. Such being the case, it 
is to be hoped that the time is not far distant when we shall not 
have to depend on England and Spain for our supply. 
DYER’S MADDER. 
This plant, ofso much importance in manufactures, and of which 
we have annually to import large quantities from Holland, will - 
succeed in this country as well as in any part of Europe. It will 
thrive in any soil except asand, and would amply remunerate those 
who would undertake its cultivation on a large scale, as the daily 
increase of our manufactories will cause an enlarged demand for 
this indispensable article. ite 
ROSES. 
No class of plants, so easy of culture as this, yields more intrinsic 
delights to the amateur; the diversity of size, colour, fragrance, 
and form, have been varied by art to an almost infinite degree, and 
in one collection alone in Europe, above 1200 varieties are enumer- 
ated. Since the previous part of this Catalogue was put to press, 
near 300 new varieties have been received, and the collection at this 
establishment now exceeds 500 varieties, including above 50 Kinds 
of China Roses and nine varieties of the Moss Rose, among which 
are the Striped Moss, Scarlet Moss, Mossy Rose de Meaux, &c. En- 
during the rigour of the severest winters uninjured, and yielding 
with so little attention such a rich accumulation of beauty and 
fragrance, every garden should possess at least all the more con- 
spicuous varieties of this unrivalled flower; and it is hoped, ere 
long, we shall see the fashion followed in this country, which has 
for years prevailed in England, of training the hardy varieties of the 
Chinese Everblooming Rose against the sides of our country houses 
and cottages, as the profusion of flowers which they daily afford — 
from spring to autumn, gives to the retirement of these rural scenes ~ 
a degree of Floral enchantment, and throws an air of magic round ~ 
~ 
the spot.
