can excel it, but because it is very easily obtained. 

 Urine is collected and allowed to become stale ; soot 

 water is made in a tank adjoining tbe former ; when 

 skimmed and quite clear, the two are mixed equally 

 together, and guano is added after the rate of about 

 four ounces to a gallon of the abov^e mixture. In 

 using it we have the whole as clear as wine : this 

 we hold of paramount importance ; and we merely 

 colour the tepid water with it, putting about a pint of 

 the prepared mixture to a large water-pot full of clean 

 water. 



In conclusion, let it be borne in mind that the true 

 I !' basis of a continual succession of fruit is to be sought 

 in a frequent succession of suckers and frequent 

 shifts. • 



Mr. Errington subjoins a monthly table of tempe- 

 ratures for the successioners and the fruiters ; which, 

 j|he says, may in some degree serve to guide those 

 who are totally inexperienced in pine culture. It 

 must, however, be borne in mind that much liberty 

 [ may be taken with the temperatures here given accord- 

 ing to the state of the weather ; and we beg to re- 

 quest that our view of the most desirable temperatures 

 may be referred to at p. 5 of this volume.
