The Codetta is a very interesting tatnily of 
flowers, nearly related to the (F.nothera , or Evening 
Primrose. There are several tine varieties, differing 
in color and habit. Our engraving shows a flower of 
rubicunda, which forms a beautiful open spike, of a 
delicate reddish color. The Godetias deserve gene- 
bave removed all grass roots, 
to four feet in length, and plant them in drills from 
eighteen to twenty inches apart, covering lightly 
every six or eight inches, where they take root and 
new vines are formed. It is not uutisual for vines to 
grow from three to four feet in one season. 
It is not necessary to flood a meadow, but I would 
recommend it where convenient, as it has a tendency 
to check the growth of weeds and grass, and also to 
destroy the Cranberry Moth, which sometimes get 
into meadows, and injure them. The water may bo 
turned on in the fall after picking, and remain until 
there is no danger oi trust in the spring. 
To “ A Subscruier,” 1 would say, that his half acre 
of swamp can lie made prt^’ble if properly pre¬ 
pared, and set with good beiUng vines. There are 
vines that look thrifty, and gww well, but never bear. 
“ The most certain method * obtaining productive 
plants of the best varieties, is to take them from 
places where they are known to lie the kind you wish 
to cultivate," as is truly stated in Starr's Cranberry 
Culturist. As the cranberry is an evergreen, and 
late starting vine, the months of May and Juue is a 
suitable time for setting. They will grow and bear 
in the shade, but the fruit will not ripen as well as in 
the sun. Noble Hill.

Those who commence a flower garden must mainly 
depend upon annuals for blossoms and beauty the 
first season, though there are some biennial plants 
that will flower the first year. We have already 
given directions for sowing the seed, and it is now 
only necessary to refer readers to our remarks in the 
Rural for February 23d. These, we hope, will be 
carefully studied, for on their observance depends in 
a great measure the success of the season. It is very 
easy to growjplanta from seed, and it is just as easy 
to fail and losejonr seed and labor. As soon ns the 
young plants make their appearance, lighten the 
earth around them and destroy all weeds. If they 
are too thick, which is most likely to be the case, 
remove a portion to other beds, which should be 
prepared for this purpose, and remove them when 
quite small, as young plants always injure each other 
by growing crowded. Select a showery day, if pos¬ 
sible, for this work, and remove the plants with as 
little injury to the roots as possible. When the 
ground is wet, plants can generally he taken Sp with 
a portion of the earth adhering to the roots, in 
which case they will receive but little check by the 
removal.gNothing is now needed but to keep the 
ground mellow, and all weeds destroyed. 
MoBt of our popular annuals have been greatly 
improved within the last few years, and are now 
worthy the attention of every lover of flowers. Only 
a short time since, the Aster was a poor, single, or 
at best, a semi-double flower, with quilled petals, 
having a rough, unsightly appearance; while now the 
Aster is one of our most beautiful autumn flowers, as 
double as the Peony, or the Chrysanthemum, and 
almost as beautiful as the Rose. Without further 
introduction, we will name a few of the most desir¬ 
able annuals.

ral cultivation on account of their profusion of 
flowers and delicate colors. They are becoming 
general favorites. We have this spring obtained 
seeds of several varieties which we have not seen in 
flower. 
Titk Portulacca is a succulent plant that flourishes 
in the hottest, driest weather, and on the sandiest 
soil. They are of almost every shade of yellow and 
red, and white and striped. They have an exceed¬ 
ingly brilliant lustre, dazzling to the eye in the sun¬ 
light. When once planted, they seldom require 
replanting, as they grow like weeds, particularly on 
a sandy soil. The Portulacca may be sown where it 
is to flower, or tnay be transplanted at any time.

handful of straw, (rye is best,) about the trees. This 
is very quickly done, and is a sure protection from 
rabbits, and a positive benefit to the trees, both win¬ 
ter and summer. 
Five years ago last spring I set out 50 standard 
pear trees, and the following winter had 18 of the beat 
killed in two nights by rabbits. Had I then known 
of this simple remedy, I should now have had a fine 
orchard. All that were not killed have borne, and 
some of them three times. Picked 11 bushels of 
finest Vir gal ions 1 ever satv, from one tree lust fall, 
Miuiy other trees not so large, were equally full. 
Have manured them with barn-yard manure, leached 
ashes, and beef scraps. The trees have made large 
growth and appear perfectly healthy. 
About four years ago the hark louse attacked ono 
of my old orchards of six acres, and I lost about ‘JO 
trees, and the others were fast dying. After trimming 
off the dead limbs and giving them a good scraping, 
I tried an experiment on two rows of Greenings, 
which were the worst. Procured in the spring of 
1859, a. quantity of beef scraps, and dug them iu 
about the roots. The next year they made an aston¬ 
ishing growth and bore ft good crop. The leaves 
were the deepest, green till hard frost; very different

The Annual Larkspurs have been great favorites 
for more than two centuries. The Double Dwarf 
Rocket is of a compact habit of growth, and its 
(lowers are set thickly around a Btcm, forming a fine 
spike of bloom. It requires a rich soil to grow to 
perfection, and there are few plants that will better 
repay good culture. The seed should be sown in 
drills, where the plants are intended to blossom, as 
they will not bear transplanting. From their com¬ 
pact habit of growth, they require but little room, 
and may grow within two or three inches of each 
other, and produce the best effect when grown in 
masses. The Dwarf Hyacinth Flowered is an excel¬ 
lent variety, and so is the Double Stock Flowered, 
which is of pretty tall growth.

Rag Mats.— I am not a very old lady, but perhaps 
1 can give Piu denck bouio information in regard to 
“rag mats.” My plan is this:—Take any kind of 
woolen or delaine rags, of bright colors, cut them 
bias about one inch In width, gather them through 
the center with strong thread, then take a piece of 
canvas or bagging the size you want for the mat, and 
mark with a piece of chalk the form of the stems. 
Make the basket, or whatever it is, first, then make 
the stems of some drab color, then the flowers, with 
green leaves mixed around pretty well, then fill out 
with black. Great care must be taken not to get the 
rags gathered too closely. ’Tis very pretty when 
done.— Ohim’Kkoot, Palmyra, N. Y., 1861.

HOOKER, FARLEY AGO. 
Shltf Rochester WimU otle Nuraerien, Rochester, N. Y. 
Last spring T obtained from a nursery some plants 
of Triomphe tie Gand ttrawberries. Tho roots were 
very long, not longer, i perhaps, than is usual where 
the soil is such as to allow them to run as tleep as 
they please; but of 'j-euW length than I had ever 
seen, indeed, -so lot* that it was really difficult with 
a garden trowel to make places in a well spaded bed 
deep enough to admit them (as I suppose they should 
be planted) entire. Notwithstanding the utmost care 
in setting to keep the roots straight, and to pack the 
mold securely About them, and a subsequent liberal 
use of the watering-pot to keep them moist, half or 
more of the plants died; not more than a 
fourth mado ft vigorous, healthy growth. In 
Wf\ August I took up a largo number of well- 
■ rooted runners of different kinds of straw 
berries, and before re-setting, reduced the tops 
M generally to one loaf, and cut off, perhaps, a 
third, sometimes half the length of the roots. 
Cpiy With much Icbb cure than was given those set 
in the spring, these latter plants lived and 
made a fine growth during tho autumn. I 
ll|| can attribute the difference to no other cause 
^jfl than tho fact, that in one case the plants were 
root-pruned, in the other, not. a.

PHLOX DRUMMONDII. 
Phlox Drcmmondii Is at least one of the most 
beautiful. It is now grown of almost every desirable 
color, from the most brilliant scarlet, to the delicate 
rose; while the newer varieties are of every shade of 
purple and blue, with a (white eye, and striped. The 
variety of colors thus displayed in a bed of these 
flowere, must lie seen to be appreciated, and when 
once seen is not easily forgotten. We know of no 
floral display more beautiful. If sown about the 1st 
of May, they will be iu bloom in July, and will 
oontinuc in bloom nearly the whole of the summer. 
The Balsam, or Lady’s Slipper, as it is sometimes 
called, is a beautiful and showy flower. Only the 
double sorts are worthy of cultivation. They require 
a warm and rich Boil, and will grow, under favorable 
circumstances, two feet high. Tho now varieties, 
called by the French, Camellia, or Rose Balsams, are 
perfectly double. The objection to this flower is, 
that the leaves conceal the blooms, and the side 
shoots hide the center shoot, so that half the flowers 
cannot be seen. Bnt if the soil is enriched with 
liquid manure just as the buds ure formiug, it will 
wonderfully enlarge the flowers at the expense of the 
foliage. In this way, we have made the branches 
appear like wreaths of flowers. Another plan we 
have pursued, is to pluck off the side shoots, allow¬ 
ing only the main shoot to grow. We hope our 
readers will try these modes of treating the Balsam. 
The Ten Week Stock is one of the best of the 
Annuals, and is of every variety of color, from 
white to the darkest purple and browu. Plants 
should be transplanted to where they are to bloom, as 
soon as they show the third pair of leaves. They 
have a long tap root, something like a carrot, and 
unless transplanted young, receive a check from 
which they seldom recover. They grow from a foot 
to eighteen inches in height, with an erect, branch¬ 
ing stem, downy leaves, and long spikes of beautiful 
flowers. 
Fresh Maple Molasses.—A correspondent of Field 
Notes gives the following:— Maple molasses well made 
and put up in cans, right from the kettle, and her¬ 
metically sealed, as you would can and seal fruits, 
will keep as fresh as when first boiled from the sap, 
and this is decidedly tho best plan for keeping, as 
when made in cakcB, if exposed to the air, it will lose 
somewhat of the peculiarly delightful Uavor for 
which it is so prized, and is often injured by insects. 
All this is obviated by canning while hot. To many 
families who do not make On a large scale, this need 
be but, little expense, as tho canB that have been 
emptied through the winter can be used until autumn 
fruits demand them again. Put up your best in this 
way. Where large quantities ure made for market, 
the buyers must select and can for themselves.

GOLDEN BARTONIA. 
The Golden Bartonia is trnly a most brilliant 
flower. We give Dr. Lindley’s very accurate 
description. “ It is only beneath the bright sunshine 
that its splendid flowers unfold. In the early morn¬ 
ing the plant is a shabby bush, with pale greenish- 
grey branches, and weedy leaves; but as the suit 
exercises his influence, the petals gradually unroll as 
if in acknowledgement of his power, till every 
branch is radiant with gold; and so metalic is the 
lustre of the inside of its petals that one would really

Chemical Works, Fairport, Monroe Co., N. Y., are manu¬ 
facturing as good, if not the best, Saleratus that bus been 
ever produced in this country. A new discovery in refining, 
anti not used in this country, except at this establishment, 
places them in a position to successfully compete, in point 
of quality, with any manufacturers of this article in the 
world. Their Saleratus is perfectly pure, of uniform quality, 
and perfectly healthful. It is now for Bale by most of the 
grocers throughout the country.

Carnations.— The Carnations we have in this country at 
onr nurseries and in our gardens, don't seem to answer the 
descriptions of this flower given In foreign journals. Nor (lo 
we grow them good from v H. What is the cause? -Amatbur. 
Our climate is not well suited to this (lower. This w* are 
compelled to admit, and we despair of ever growing it as it 
is grown in Europe. Our summers are too hot and dry, and 
our winters too severe. We have ofteo tried what should 
h&ve been the best English and French need without obtain¬ 
ing even a passable flower. If some one would make a 
specialty of the Carnation, we think something valuable 
would be the result. We would at least learn what can be 
done here with that charming flower.
