NATIVE PLANTS AND FLOWERS. 
The wild plants presented at the recent 
Horticultural exhibition, show in some de¬ 
gree the riches of the vegetation of our vi¬ 
cinity. They are tho produco of a small 
piece of land preserved with care by Mr. 
Philo Parks as a matter of curiosity and 
taste, which aro highly creditable to his 
judgment as well as instructive to his chil¬ 
dren. 
Many of tho plants, presented by Mr. 
Parks, are in their full beauty, so charac¬ 
teristic of our autumnal vegetation. They 
aro commonly neglected by classes in Bot¬ 
any, because the vacations begin before tho 
late plants appear. Among these I may 
mention tho following : 
Genliana criniti, and Gentiana quinque- 
flora; Gentians, both great and dolicato 
beauties. 
Clematis virginica, in fruit, and more 
beautiful than in flower, finely callod Vir¬ 
gin’s Bower. 
Ckcnopodium botrys, Oak of Jerusalem, in 
fruit but more beautiful, a hugo and noble 
specimen. 
Petentilla fniticosa, in flower and fruit, a 
beautiful shrub in wet grounds, tho shrub¬ 
by Cinquefoil or Four finger. 
Gcrardia querrifolia. flower and fruit, 
fino ragged beauty. 
Pedicularis lanceolate;.: flower and fruit, 
tall Lousewort, a plant which has never be¬ 
fore come under my notice, though looked 
for—blossoms about Aug. 1. I feel obliga¬ 
tion to Mr. P. for showing it. 
Sanguisorba canadensis, Burnet Saxifrage. 
Fino. 
Aster novee-angliee, Now Eng. Starflowcr, 
a great beauty. 
Aster simplex, saliafolia of others. 
Aster cordifolius, A. la cor is, A. dumosus , 
A. punicens; all beautiful in tho woods and 
hedges. Many more species of Starflowers 
are in blossom. 
Solidago serotina, Yellow Golden Rod. 
S. gigantea , Hugo Golden Rod. 
N. bicolor, white, and the only white flow¬ 
ered Solidago. 
S. Riddcllii, yellow—not often found so 
far east. 
Bidcns chrysanthemoides. Ticks — beau¬ 
tiful. 
Cirsium altissimum. Tall Thistle, often 
eight or ten feet high. 
Eupatorivm serotinum. Fino white flow¬ 
ers—rare plant. 
E. purpurium, and E. pistulosum. Fine 
red flowors. 
Heliantlius gigantcus. Sunflower, largo 
wild Ilelianthus. 
Leucanthemumoulgore. Ox-oved Daisy.— 
Hated by farmers. 
Graphalium polyuphalum, Life-everlast¬ 
ing, sweet odor. 
G. decurrcns. Life everlasting, strong 
odor. 
Ambrosia artimisif olia. Wild Wormwood. 
Ilogweod, bad weed. 
Achillea millefolia. Yarrow, good-look¬ 
ing, but troublesome. 
llicracium vinosum. Voinod Hawkweed. 
Mentha virides. Spearmint, still in flower. 
Campanula rotundifolia. Scotch Hair- 
boll, still in flowor. 
Parnassia caroliniana, not like grass at 
all, but callod Parnassian grass. 
Monotropa unijlora. Indian Pipo, white, 
—aro admired. 
Euphorbia mocnlata. Ground Spurge, 
long in flower. 
Lobelia siphilitica. Largo, fine Lobelia, 
well flowered. 
Of plants in fruit, or past the fruit, Mr. 
P. presented the following : 
Prinos verticilatus. Winter Berry, Bear 
Berry, loaded with its bright red berries, 
which hold on till February or March. 
Oxycoecus microcarpus, small fruited Cran¬ 
berry, slendor and creeping—fruit on. 
Pentliorum sedvidcs. 
Sarracenia purpuria. Side-saddle flower 
—fino cup leaves. 
Corrollaria racemosa. Densely fruited. 
Asclepias syriaca. Common Silkweed.

usual. 
Lauras benzoin. Spico bush, fever bush. 
L. Sassafras. The roots in market to¬ 
day—Sassafras.

Droscra rotundifolia. Dowplant, beauti¬ 
ful, curious. 
Eriophorum angustifolium. Woolhead 
Cottongrass. 
The lato Elder and common Thorn, both 
in fruit 
Of tho Floworless plants were two : 
Asmunda regalis, a splendid fern in wet 
places. 
Sphagnum latifolium. Marsh Moss, and 
gives the name Sphagnose marshes. 
There were thirty-six species in flower, 
and twenty-two which had passed flowering. 
I rejoice in tho tasto and judgment dis¬ 
played by Mr. Parks in tho cultivation by 
native plants tho little plat of ground, which 
I had the pleasure of seeing so full of veg- 
otation. Respectfully submitted, 
Rochester, Sept. 25, 1852. C. DEWEY. 
A CALL AT NEWBURGH-MR. DOWNING. 
Messrs. Editors. —Now that tho cars are 
considered safer than steamboats, tlioso on 
tho Hudson River road aro well filled with 
passengers. The management of the road 
is very perfect and the scenery presented 
such as can scarcely be equalled in the world 
Summer tourists have dilatod freely on its 
beauties, and we need not attempt to picture 
them here. Wo were put down punctual to 
tho minute—at Fishkill,opposite Newburgh 
—a ferry boat took us across tho Hudson, 
in whoso waters but recently, a native and 
beloved citizen of tho latter place was lost. 
We allude to Downing, the Horticulturist 
and Landscape gardener. We had seen him 
onco at a meeting of fruit growers in New 
York—had boen long conversant with his 
writings, so pleasant and so valuable—and 
wished to seo what was late his homo. 
His beautiful cottage is situated on tho 
sido of the hill, overlooking the river, about 
threo-fourths of a milo from the landing.— 
Tho premises, embracing some six acres of 
land, have been in tho family for years, and 
are embellished with the highest skill of his 
art—presenting the very perfection of Land¬ 
scape gardening. Hero with tho aid of his 
brother, ho planted all tho rarest native 
and foreign trees, shrubs and flowers ; and 
hero ho watchod and tended them, and 
learned those lessons from experience, which 
have made the Horticulturist so truly valu¬ 
able. Tho Summer houses built under his 
care and of his own design aro beautiful in 
tho extreme. 
On entering his house wo felt a sadness 
that the spirit of him who mado so many 
welcome, had been removed from earth— 
ono whose writings and examples had done 
so much for Rural Improvement—who had 
taught so well that a love of country life 
was congonial with man’s best feelings and 
highest culture—had thus early been cut I 
off, leaving a wife lonoly, and friends be¬ 
reaved. 
The cottage is of tho Elizabethan stylo 
and of great olegance. Tho hall was hung 
around with armor, brought by him from 
tho old world, and such as lovers of herald¬ 
ry would appreciate. The parlors were fur¬ 
nished with a style of furniture in keeping 
with that of tho house—wo noticed high 
backed chairs, such as former generations 
sat in. Many pictures and othor articles of 
ornament were there. A portrait of the 
elder Adams, copied from a “ Stuart” gave 
us groat pleasure. The Library was in per¬ 
fect keeping with tho character of its late 
occupant,—indeed the whole house may be 
taken as a “ model cottage ” well worth the 
study of those who would erect such for 
thomselves. "Wo will not undertake its de¬ 
scription, as no doubt tho whole will hore- 
after give value to the pages of tho journal 
which he so long conducted. 
Nowburgh is delightfully situated, and as 
a place of summer residence none better can 
bo desired. High and shaded streets, pure 
mountain air and water, and cottages and 
gardens designod by Downing himself, are 
among its attractions. His loss was deeply 
felt by its citizens. When tho nows 
came, a thrill of sadness went through 
the town, never beforo known by its inhab¬ 
itants. His taste had given character to 
Newburgh for all that is beautiful in Land¬ 
scape gardening and village Architecture. 
His fame will bo coupled with his native 
placo, and his name become a household 
word with the lovers of tho Beautiful in Ai t 
and Nature. j. u. w. 
Newburgh on the Hudson Sept. 20, 1852. 
Transplanting. —The editor of tho Hor¬ 
ticulturist, in the last number, says—“ If it 
wore made a rule, in moving trees, always to 
reduce tho last yoar’s growth to one bud, half 
the failures in transplanting would not occur 
—becauso tho head and roots would bo 
brought at once to something like a balance 
of power. Shortening-in and mulching 
transplanted trees ought to bo followed as 
established practical rules, in this climate, 
in transplanting every deciduous tree need¬ 
ing more care than a willow. 
Tuansplang may bo performed advanta¬ 
geously during tho present month. Down¬ 
ing thought Octobor as good a month as 
April for this important operation,—and it 
is certainly safo if properly performed.— 
For mode of transplanting see former num¬ 
bers of this paper. 
THE CARDINAL FLOWERS. 
The gonus Lobelia, “ named in honor of 
Matthias de Lobel, physician and botanist 
to James I.,” contains among its species two 
that are remarkable for their beauty and 
ornament, both of which are well worthy a 
placo in any well kept flower garden. Tho 
most superb and showy one is tho L. Car- 
dinalis found in damp meadows and along 
tho margins and islets of brooks, where it 
rears its intensely bright scarlet plumo of 
most curious flowers, from two to four feet 
in height. Tho corollas are about two inch¬ 
es in length, prominent and of a strikingly 
peculiar shapo. Tho plant is straight, leafy 
and of itself quite pretty. 
The blue Cardinal flower— L. Sylphilitica 
flourishes in similar situations, and grows 
also in more marshy localities. Tho gen¬ 
eral aspect of tho plant is rough, tho leaves 
being more or loss hairy, though sometimes 
nearly smooth. Tho flowors, though larger, 
are denser, shorter, and of a bright blue.— 
Grows about the sarno height. Both flower 
in July and August, tho latter holding in 
bloom till tho latter part of September. 
The natural order to which these flowers 
belong takes its name from its most promi¬ 
nent genus, tho Lobelia. Among tho char¬ 
acteristics of the order, are herbs or shrubs 
with a milky juice, alternating leavos, ax¬ 
illary and terminal flowers, irregularly form¬ 
ed corollas, and tho anthers of the five 
stamens cohering in a tubo. Tho different 
species are found scattered through the 
temperate zones, but aro more numerous as 
tho Tropics aro approached. The juice of 
all is arcid and narcotic, and more or loss 
poisonous. t. e. w.

BURNS AND SCALDS. 
Reese’s Medical Gazette, referring to the 
numerous cases of burns and scalds occa¬ 
sioned by steamboat explosions,'bursting of 
spirit lamps, &c., and their frequent fatal 
termination, says that nearly all tho suffer¬ 
ers might be preserved from a fatal result, 
wore it not for mal-treatment. The appli¬ 
cation of cold water, lead water, molasses, 
oils, cotton, “pain extractors,” &c., is de¬ 
nounced, and tho very simple remedy of 
wheat flour is recommended instead. The 
editor says: 
Now it ought to bo promulgated to tho 
profession, and for humanity’s sake to be 
known to the whole people, that in anycaso 
of burn or scald, however extensive, all the 
acute suffering of the patient may be at once 
and permanently relieved, and that in a 
moment of time, by sprinkling over the in¬ 
jured surface a thick layor of wheat flour 
by the hand, or what is hotter, a dredging 
box. _ Every vestigo of pain produced by 
such injuries is instantly removed, and the 
sufferer not only escapes tho shock to the 
nervous system accompanying such torture, 
but will generally fall into a quiet sleep the 
moment tho atmospheric temperature is 
thus excluded from the wounds. 
TOMATO JAM. 
In reply to tho inquiry in tho Cultivator 
whether green tomatoos can be applied to 
any useful purpose, I may just state how 
they have been used in my mother’s family 
for several years past, and thought to be 
very good : 
As late in tho season as we can obtain a 
sufficient quantity of ripe tomatoos and 
green ones together, wo make them into a 
jam, by using two parts of tomatoes (after 
the skins have been taken off.) to one part 
of molasses or wet sugar, and stewing them 
together till sufficiently done to keep — say 
an hour or more. If the weather should 
be very warm after tho jam is mado, it may 
need heating over. We generally use more 
ripe tomatoes than green ones in this way, 
as wo take part of tho green ones for mak¬ 
ing sliced pickles similar to tho “ Indian 
pickles,” except that wo put with tho sliced 
nearly an equal quantity of cabbage cut 
fine, and use less onion. For both jam and 
pickles wo frequently use the tomatoes after 
they are somewhat frost-bitten.— Cor. Ohio 
Cultivator. 
Yeast from Peas. —To one large teacup- 
ful of split or bruised dry peas, put one 
pint of boiling water, cover it closely so 
as wholly to exclude the air, and set it in a 
cool oven or by tho side of the fire for 34 
hours, when it should have a fine froth on 
tho top. A tablespoonful of the water is 
the proportion (in a warm climate) to one 
pound of flour. Yeast thus prepared is very 
generally usod in Persia, and the writer has 
employed it in India for three years with 
success. 
To MAKE Preserves Keep. —Tho secret 
of preserving them from chango is to ex¬ 
clude the air. The easiest way to do this 
is to brush over a sheet of paper with tho 
white of an ogg, and cover tho jar, pressing 
it down around tho odges while moist, and 
it will cement perfectly tight. It is cheap¬ 
er, neater, and better than sealing up the 
mouth of tho jar with wax or covering it 
with bladder. 
To make Barley Water.—C hooso the 
best pearl barley, boil it for a few minutes, 
then throw away tho water and add fresh, 
in the proportion of a pint to an ounce of 
barley. Boil quickly, and then lot it sim¬ 
mer for an hour; strain and sweeten ; fla¬ 
vor with lemon, or according to taste.

STONE CUTTERS. 
While in the vicinity of a'Stone-cutter’s 
yard, lately, our attention was directed by 
tho clinking music of mallets in tho hands 
of a horde of busy artizans, to a few of their 
noble productions standing outside, which 
rather excited a curiosity to seo more—and 
we walked in. Whilo wandering there and 
wondering over many specimens, which we 
thought gave cvidenco of tho surprising 
perfection to which the art has been brought, 
our attention was arrested by tho occasional 
hacking coughs and emaciated appearances 
of some of the workmen ; hut when wo saw 
them bending over tho work, and inhaling 
tho poisonous particles of dust created by 
their chisels, we thought the phenomena 
easily accounted for. 
Since then, our views have been strength¬ 
ened by the perusal of an actual case, onco 
detailed by the lato Dr. Mackintosh, of Ed¬ 
inburgh, tho substance of which is as fol¬ 
lows :—“ Tho patient died of a cough, and 
other pectoral symptoms of two years du¬ 
ration. On post-mortem examina ion, hard 
black tubercles were found in both lungs.— 
The bronchial glands also, were enlarged, 
and indurated—grating under tho knife 
when cut, and found to contain portions of 
a substance like bone, which being analyzed, 
yielded carbonate of lime, silica, and a small 
portion of alumina. The stone of the quar¬ 
ry where tho patient had chiefly worked was 
also examined, and found to consist of the 
same materials ; from which, it is inferred, 
that the deposition in the lungs, was de¬ 
rived from tho stone imbibed during inspi¬ 
ration. 
Indeed, facts are not wanting to prove 
that coughs, consumption, and othor affec¬ 
tions of the lungs have been frequently pro¬ 
duced, even out of the stone yard, by in¬ 
haling dust, and it is no more than reasona¬ 
ble to conclude, that the dusty nature of 
the business of stone-cutting, together with 
the unnatural position which such artizans 
assume whilo at their work, is at least cal¬ 
culated to favor similar results. 
The most effectual modo of avoiding such 
consequences, is, for tho workmen to main¬ 
tain as erect a position as possible, and when 
hewing or cutting, to cover the mouth or 
face with gauze, especially during the ope¬ 
ration of sweeping away the finer particles 
of dust, for it is during, or immediately af¬ 
ter this, that tho fine dust is floating in the 
air, and most likely to bo inhaled. We hope 
for tho sako of this very useful, and respec¬ 
table class of artists, that these plain hints 
will not bo overlooked. They aro equally 
applicable for tho conservation of the eyes 
as tho lungs.— JY. Y. Times. 
CEMENT FOR PORCELAIN, GLASS, &c„ 
This cemont is a natural production, 
which, without being over-abundant, is in 
sufficient quantities for all ordinary uses.— 
Tho large snails which are found in gardens, 
woods, and sometimes in cellars and damp 
basements, have a vesicle at tho extremity 
of their bodies, filled with a whitish sub¬ 
stance having a glossy and glutinous appear¬ 
ance. This applied between two surfaces, 
however hard, and those surfaces brought 
closely and evenly together, an adhesion 
ultimately takes place, which even violence 
cannot separate. A flint about the size of a 
peach, we are told, having been broken in 
two pieces, and joined by this means, being 
thrown wth violence on the pavement,broke 
into fresh fragments, by fresh fractures 
crossing tho former junctures, but not divi¬ 
ding it. When used, allow it time to dry. 
Steam Plow. —Tho Illustrated London 
News states that James Usher, of Edinburgh, 
has succeeded in overcoming the obstacles 
to tho application of steam to plowing, and 
completed a machine which has been suc¬ 
cessfully tested in the presence of many 
practical farmers, who expressed their sur 
priso at tho superior manner in which the 
work was effected. Tho machine cost £300 
and is adapted to plowing, threshing, rolling, 
and harrowing, and travels 2,550 yards per 
hour, turning over 50 inches in breadth, 
which is equal to seven acres in ten hours, 
at a daily expense of 17s or 18s, which is 
about 2s 6d per aero, while it costs 9s to 10s 
to plough an aero with horses. 
WONDERS OF THE MICROSCOPE. 
The editor of tho Cayuga Chief, writing 
from Utica, for his paper, notices as follows, 
tho Optical Instrument Manufactory of C. 
A. Spencer & Co. He mentions some facts 
which, we think, will surprise many of our 
readers, familiar as we all are with beau¬ 
tiful specimens of mechanism. We aro 
hardly prepared to believe that any balances 
can bo made, which will accurately weigh 
the two hundred thousandth part of an inch. 
With the wonders of the Microscope wo aro 
more familiar, but there aro somo facts 
stated in the article which follows probably 
will bo new to many, and even those ac¬ 
quainted with them cannot bo reminded too 
often of those evidences of wonders of 
creation: 
“I spent ono of tho most pleasant hours 
of my life in the Optical Instrument Manu¬ 
factory of C. A. Spencer & Co. I was sur¬ 
prised at what I learned. Tho perfection 
to which ho has carried his science is indeed 
wonderful, almost incredible. Let the read¬ 
er conceive if ho can of Chemical Balances 
which will weigh accurately, the two hun¬ 
dred thousandth part of a grain! Of glass 
worked to the dimensions of the .330 part of 
an inch ! Of a screw with .330 part of an 
inch, and yet as perfect as seen through the 
Microscope, as any ever looked upon by tho 
naked eye. 
Mr. Spencer has a great variety of Micro¬ 
scopic specimens, and his powerful and per¬ 
fect instruments, opened to me a new world 
of wondrous beauty, revealing still more of 
that wisdom which is so strikingly displayed 
throughout the creation of God. Tho foot 
of the fly is as large as tho human finger, 
with a perfect pair of hooked pincers upon 
the end to cling to rough substances, and 
the trumpet shaped tubes which exhaust 
the air and adhere to the smoothest. The 
eye of tho same insect is mado up of almost 
innumeral eyes, each one receiving and pre¬ 
senting a distinct view of surrounding ob¬ 
jects and when seen through with the aid of 
tho Microscope,- presenting a delicate pic¬ 
ture of the landscape so beautiful and per¬ 
fect, that the beholder is lost in astonish¬ 
ment. And yet how few ever look even, 
upon the “seeing apparatus” of tho little 
creature. His tongue appears three or four 
inches in length. The Mosquito’s bill is a 
perfect “oaso of instruments,” a villanious 
looking lance to let tho blood, and sharp 
instruments to “hold on” while the opera¬ 
tion is performed; no surgeon can present 
a sot of bleeding instruments so perfect.— 
Tho common louse and Ilea, produce un¬ 
pleasant sensations, for they look like mons¬ 
ters. The guano, a powder so fine and im¬ 
palpable that no evidence of grit can bo 
detected by tho finger, is wholly made up 
of shells of every conceivable form and 
variety ! The dust, but a faint cloud to look 
at with the naked eye, is thus transformed 
and mado to reveal a lesson which can 
hardly be believed.” 
ARTIFICIAL AGATE. 
There are now mado in Albany beautiful 
door knobs of common clay and somo other 
mixtures. Mr. Pepper, of Albany, we be¬ 
lieve, is the inventor, and it is not an imita¬ 
tion of agate merely, but is as real agate as 
that formed in nature’s own laboratory.— 
From this, by a process of remelting and 
careful but expeditious moulding and ba¬ 
king, in ovens similar in appearance to those 
used in cracker bakeries Mr, Pepper man¬ 
ufactures door knobs and other articles of 
household ornament, of rare durability and 
beauty. These door knobs are of tho high¬ 
est polish, and are blended with a variety 
of colors, and are strong and beautiful.— 
Sot in silver or bronze, tho knobs are sold 
at a rate which already commands the mar¬ 
ket. 
It is perhaps not generally known that 
tho common clay fused in a crucible runs 
like water, and makes a beautiful stono.— 
Tho door knobs in tho Albany Argillo 
Works are fused and then put into the an¬ 
nealing oven. After tho knobs come out of 
this, they have no appearance of agate un¬ 
til they are ground and polished, which is 
done by cast iron grindstones, oh which a 
stream of wet sand continually flows. The 
method of grinding is not ingenious, all bo- 
ing done by hand. It is not possblo to con¬ 
ceive to what perfection tho manufacture 
of glass and earthenware may be brought, 
and to what purpose the article may yet be 
applied. The balance spring of a chronom¬ 
eter is now made of glass, as a substitute 
for steel, and possesses a greater degree of 
elasticity and a greater power of resisting 
the alternations of heat and cold. Ono of 
these chronometers with a glass balance 
spring has been exposed to competition with 
nine othor chronometers on a long voyage, 
and tho result was in favor of the glass 
spring one. 
Gas Burners. — A gentleman perfectly 
acquainted with the subject, theoretically 
and practically, assures us that the smoking 
of illuminating gas, when it issues from the 
burners, is caused by the fact that the bur¬ 
ners have been too long in use. Theorific© 
becomes enlarged and permits too much gas 
to escape. The older the burners are the 
more gas will bo used and the more smoke 
produced. Persons will save money, and 
get a better light, by renewing their bur¬ 
ners frequently. 
File Cutting Machine. —A firm in Ports¬ 
mouth, N. II., havo recently perfected a file 
cutting machine, which promises to effect a 
complete revolution in the file manufacture, 
and entirely supplant tho old method of 
hand cutting, as well on account of the su¬ 
periority of its workmanship and durability 
of its manufacture, as tho great saving in 
manual labor which it effects. 
Get good senso, and you will not want 
good luck.
