that the stems will be all downward. The fruit 
then looks well and sells well. It should also 
be assorted into first, second and third quality ; 
if not it will sell at second and third quality 
price. This is true of other fruits.as well as 
grapes.

HARDY BULBS, 
In a few weeks it will be time to set out Hardy 
Bulbs. Most of our readers, no doubt, are 
aware of the fact, hut it will do no harm and 
may be of some benefit to be reminded of it. 
Those who are in the business inform us 
that they are greatly annoyed, by receiving 
orders for Tulips, Crocuses, Hyacinths, &c., in 
the spring of the year—just about the time they 
are nicely in flower, when removal would he 
unsatisfactory to both buyer and Beller. The 
only proper time to plant hardy bulbs is in the 
autumn—any time before winter sets in in earn¬ 
est. Some think early planting, that is in Octo¬ 
ber, is heBt; but we are satisfied if we get them 
in before winter. Last season we concluded 
planting the 16th of December. Of course, 
where convenient, the work is more pleasantly 
and expeditiously done during the fine weather 
of autumn, and there is great danger in delay, 
for sometimesiwinter gets iu unexpectedly, 
We design to give two or three articles on the 
cultureTof bulbs, injwhlch we hope to give such 
information as will render success al most certain 
to all who heed our suggestions. 
The best soil for bulbs Is a sandy loam, but 
they will grow well in aDy garden soil. The 
principal point is to secure good drainage. 
If water is allowed to lay on and near the sur¬ 
face, the fleshy bulbs will very likely rot, or at 
least receive such injury that they will not flower 
well. If the soil is poor, enrich it with rotted 
stable manure, or with surface earth from the 
woods. Bulbs seem to delight ia cow manure 
for some reason. After planting, and before 
severe frosts, cover the beds with a coating of 
leaves, and over these throw some brush to pre¬ 
vent their blowing off. Coarse manure will 
answer instead of leaves, and in the spring rake 
off the coarsest and leave the remainder in the 
surface. The covering should he removed as 
soon as hard frosts are over. 
Ip an article on Lilies a few weeks since, we 
described the new Gold-Banded Lily, Auralum. 
We now present our readers with an engraving 
of a flower, one-half the natural size, taken from 
a bloom grown by James Vick of this city. In 
our next we will describe some of the most im¬ 
portant ol the hardy bulbs, with best method of 
treatment, &c.

where the bark is healthy, it is beneficial thus to 
wash the trees, as many eggs of insects art 
thereby destroyed. 
Whitewash is frequently resorted to by farm 
ers; but the great objection is its unsightly 
appearance—the result is otherwise good. The 
great opposition to washes formerly was, that 
the pores of the bark were closed by them,—this 
was on the supposition that the bark was aliYe; 
but the external bark of moat trees has been 
dead years before the time of application; and 
“ the breathing,” if so the operations of the 
pores can be called, is through the crevices 
formed in the old bark by the expansion of the 
growing tree by which the living bark below 
has a chance of contact with the air. No mat¬ 
ter what kind of eooy 1 . is applied to the bark 
of a tree, it will so<*u • "’ack sufficiently by the 
expansion of the trail c to permit all the “ breath¬ 
ing” necessary. 
Strawberry beds may now be made to advant¬ 
age. Choose thrifty young runners, that have 
plenty of good white fibers, setting them no 
deeper in the soil than the plants were before 
removal. The best runners come from young 
plants of the previous year —old plants usually 
make feeble runners,— Gard. Monthly. 
trouble arising from this, might be avoided by 
ten minutes’ labor in the beginning. 
In preparing a bed for bulbs, due attention 
must be paid to digging and manuring the soil. 
This should be dug eighteen inches deep, and 
well enriched with thoroughly decomposed 
manure. The bulbs need not be planted until 
October. 
Seeds of the Pansy may be sown in rich soil 
in a situation where they may receive protection 
in winter from a frame, hb they will bloom much 
better for covering them. 
Plants that have been in the border, and are 
taken up for house cultivation, should be care¬ 
fully lifted and potted, that they may receive as 
little check as possible. They should be kept 
out of doors in the shade for a while, unless 
frosts are apprehended, when they must be pro¬ 
tected in some manner or removed to the house. 
Heliotropes should be well cut back, and also 
any other plants which have been blooming 
during the summer season. After a season of 
rest they will start vigorously, and will bloom 
finely In the winter.

GRAPE TRELLISES, &c, 
Eds. Rubal New-Yorker:—I should like to 
make a few inquiries concerning the method 
of training, recommended in an article upon 
“Grapes and Trellises,” contained in the Rural 
of the 2d inst. 
Would not thorough pruning he very difficult, 
if not wholly impracticable, if horizontal trellises 
were elevated In the manner described? And 
would not this disadvantage counterbalance 
the good arising from the free circulation of air ? 
Could not nearly the same advantages be secured 
and the obstacles mentioned overcome, by axrel- 
lise so constructed that it could be placed per¬ 
pendicularly or horizontally, at will? Snch a 
trellis is used in at least one viueyard in this 
County, and with a very great degree of success 
considering the little attention paid to the cul¬ 
ture of the vines. It unites the following ex¬ 
cellencies :—It can be placed at any angle so as 
to receive the oblique or vertical rays of the 
sun. When in the horizontal position the air 
has free passage over it, and, to a certain extent, 
under it. When raised to the perpendicular, 
(which can be done at any time,) the tying, 
pruning, or picking may be attended to. 
It would please many interested, to see this 
subject thoroughly discussed in the columns of 
the Rural. e. h. s.

Seeds for Fall Planting.— There are a few varie¬ 
ties of Flower Seeds that succeed much the best if 
sown in tbe Autumn. All the Annual Larkspurs we 
would advise to sow in September or October, and if 
good strong plants are secured before winter all the 
better. You may then expect splendid blossoms early 
in the Summer. The Ntmopfdias never do themselves 
justice unless sown in the Fall. Pali sown plants 
flower early, before the sun is exceedingly hot and 
the weather dry, and in this way only can they be 
grown in perfection iu this conntry. The Calliopsis 
are the better for Autumn sowing.

Chrysanthemums, which have been planted 
out, must- be raised carefully before severe 
froBts, and potted with as little disturbance as 
possible. Those which have been kept in pots, 
and plunged in the border through the summer, 
will bloom a month earlier than those planted 
out. This is a good way of prolonging the 
bloom of that handsome plant, especially for 
beautifying the greenhouse or parlor at a time 
when there are very few flowers. 
As flowers decay, remove them, unless wanted 
for seed, and all plants which have finished their 
bloom may be throyvn away. Toward the last 
of this mouth, or during October, Sweet Wil¬ 
liams, Hollyhock and other biennials, may be 
transplanted from the 6ced-bed to the borders, 
where they are to remain .—Country Gentleman.

French Pickle.—A lady of unquestioned skill 
sends us the following recipe:—Take 1 peck of

so alternately until the whole peck 1 b disposed 
of—let them remain in this condition over 
night—in the morning squeeze them oat dry. 
Then take two heads of slaugh cabbage, cut up 
fine; 1 dozen large green peppers, cut fine; % 
peck onions, cutup; then add }^ pound mustard, 
pouud white mustard seed, 1 pound sugar, 3 
ounces allspice and cloves whole, and 2 ounces

To Pickle Musk Melons. — Musk melons 
make a very nice, Bweet pickle, by taking them 
when ripe, and using the solid part next to the

choose, place in a preserve pau, and cook slowly 
half or three-quarters of an honr, in a sirup pro¬ 
portioned—one cup of sugar to one pint of vine¬ 
gar, with a little cloves and c nnamon. 
To Preserve Grapes.— Pick when in full 
bloom, fully ripe, in a dry, warm day; lay the 
dusters carefully in boxes holding SO pounds, 
with layers of paper between each layer of grapes, 
cover, and put in a cool, dry cellar, and they 
will keep fresh until May. 
Apple Jelly.— Take apples of good quality 
and flavor, cut them in slices or quarters and 
stew till soft, then, straia out the jaiee, boil to 
the consistency of molasses; add a pouud of 
crushed sugar to every pint, stir constantly till 
the sugar is dissolved, add essence of lemon. 
The pulp that is lelt may be rubbed through a

Save your flower seeds. We say now, because 
it is more especially at this period that the seeds 
of our principal annuals mature. The true 
system, however, is to watch the ripening of the 
seeds generally—take with you little paper hags 
or seed boxes, carefully labelled with the name 
of the seeds which they are to contain, and 
then select from the choicest specimens, one 
kind at a time, rejecting those not sufficiently 
matured as likely to mould and injure the rest. 
Iu the matter of preserving both flower and 
vegetable seeds, there Is much neglect, and the 
absence of flowers about many homesteads is in 
a great measure to be, attributed to this neglect. 
The ladies ought in all cases to take charge of 
the flowers—it is naturally their province, and 
should be their delight. It is a good method to 
exchange seeds with neighbors and friends; for 
though the distance may be short, yet a slight 
change of soil frequently has much influence in 
preserving the fine qualities of the flowers. 
We think we can see, within the last few 
years, a great Increase iu flowers around onr 
homesteads; and we rejoice at it, as we always 
t-hiuk more kindly of the in-dwellers. A few 
days ago we spent a short time with a valued 
friend in Montgomery County, and were struck 
with the variety and beauty of the flowers in the 
yard In front of the house. There were even a 
number of different kinds of green-boose flowers, 
which never saw a green-house, bnt which were 
of as flue colors and as flourishing in appearance 
as those which aro tenderly nursed under glass. 
We soon discovered that the fair hand of woman 
had tlie management of them, and were satisfied 
that she never lost a seed that was worth pre¬ 
serving, or failed to propagate from the slip 
when the season arrived. Pity that this fasci¬ 
nating recreation—for fascinating it ought to be 
to every properly educated young woman—is 
not more universally appreciated and indulged

This month is a busy mouth in the flower 
garden, for in addition to the ordinary work, 
there will be the collecting of seeds, re-potting 
of Bueh tender plants as have been plunged in 
the borders during the Bummer, the growth of 
cuttings of Pelargoniums, Geraniums, Helio¬ 
tropes, etc., the preparation of beds for bulbous 
roots, and the sowing of Borne kinds of flower 
seeds, as Double Rocket Larkspur, which do 
better when started in the fall than when planted 
in the spring. 
In collecting seeds, those from the finest flow¬ 
ers should be procured, put in small bags and 
carefully labelled , For want of this precaution, 
in the spring there will be an infinity of trouble 
in the difficulty of aacertaing the names of 
the Beeds, and many it will bo impossible to 
identify until the plants from them have flow¬ 
ered. Therefore, make your bags now, and 
label them before you wish to use them. It ia 
amusing to watch the overhauling ot an old 
cigar box or other receptacle for seeds in a 
family where order is unknown—packages of 
every size and shape, some of muslin, others of 
newspaper or wrapping paper, some tied up with 
a piece of yarn or thread, others with the cuds 
twisted > and many with no security against the 
dropping out of seeds. On some of the pack¬ 
ages there has been an attempt to label, by writing 
the name with a pencil, but of course it i8 im¬ 
possible to decipher it after the friction it has 
undergone. In one package there are seeds 
which are either cucumber or melon seeds, 
which it Is a great satisfaction to know, as you 
will be sure of either one or the other when they 
grow. At the bottom of the box there Is a pint 
or more of miscellaneous seeds, which have 
escaped from the loosely fastened packages, and 
perhaps a score of labels, written on small pieces 
of paper or wood, and which, having been tucked 
under the strings, or into the ends of the pack* 
age, have fallen out. Now all the confusion and 
FRUIT GARDEN, 
A great revolution has occurred in selecting 
fruit trees for planting. Bushy plants are now 
sought for. Tbe shade which the side branches 
make is considered beneficial to the tree. As to 
the beneficial effects of continual digging about 
trees, which we oppose, all cultivators are not 
unanimous; hut most of them now abandon it 
after some years: the only difference of opinion 
being how many years after planting shall this 
style of cultivating continue? With very low 
branched trees there is this advantage, that the 
plow or the spade cannot approach very near 
the trunk. Rich soil is, however, essential to 
good growth and good crops. This is the 
essence of “good cultivation.” 
In preparing for planting trees, the soil should 
be stirred up at least two feet in depth. Of 
course, the trees should he planted in the holes 
only so deep as they stood in the grouud before, 
rather higher, if anything, as the soil will settle. 
Good common soil may be filled in the holes if 
the natural soil is very bad; but anything ap¬ 
plied as manure may be stirred in the surface- 
soil after the trees are planted. Some object to 
making deep holes for planting trees, as if the 
soil is stiff they become wells, collecting water 
from surrounding soil, and rotting the roots. It 
is best to underdrain such soils before planting. 
If this cannot be done, it ia best to plant such 
ground in the spring. The water objection is a 
fatal one for fail planting in such ground. 
Trees that have long stems exposed to hot 
suns, or drying winds, become what gardeners 
call “hide-bound.” That is, the old bark be¬ 
comes indurated—cannot expand—and the tree 
Millers much In consequence. Such an evil is 
usually indicated by grey lichens which feed on 
the decaying bark. In these cases a washing of 
weak ley or lime water ia very useful; indeed,

Quinn gives the following directions in the New 
York Tribune: — Grape packing is not suffi¬ 
ciently understood. The fruit should never be 
touched by the hand, as grapes with the bloom 
off sell several cents a pouud lower than those 
with it on. Although just as good, they look 
old and stale. At any rate, it gives tli e purchas¬ 
er au idea of their having been dtrtiljy handled.
