Taking up Trees.—Au enormous amount of 
money is annually lost to tree purchasers from 
rude and unskillful taking up. Trees are torn 
up by the roots, ns if the trunk and branches 
were the only thing necessary, and the roots su¬ 
perfluous. The proper way, is to open a trench 
on each side of the tree with a common spade, keep* 
iug the edge towards the tree, so us not to cross a 
root. These trenches should be far enough 
from the tree to avoid the main roots, aud deep 
enough to go below all except the tup root, which 
may be cut off. This being done, the tree may 
be pulled up with its roots entire.—Air. 
Adapt your crops to the soil, climato and 
locality. It is useless to plant sugar cane in 
a soil producing sorrel, or pine-apples in Ver¬ 
mont. 
THE HYACINTH. 
The Hyacinth is one of the most beautiiul, 
delicate and fragrant of the Bulbous Flowers, 
and is therefore exceedingly popular. They 
should be planted in October and November. 
Make the soil deep, mellow and tolerably rich, 
and see that the water has a chance to drain off. 
The beds should be narrow, «o th»t all r a - ,, t<’ c<vn 
be reached from the alleys or walks. Set the 
bulbs about six inches apart, and four deep. 
Before winter sets in, cover the beds with straw 
from the manure heap, to help keep out the 
frost. This should be removed as soon as bard 
frosts are over—in this latitude, the middle of 
March. 
Hyacinth flowers may be cut freely, without 
injury to tho bulbs. Indeed, all flower stalks 
should be removed as soon as the flowers begin 
to fade. In about live or six weeks after flow¬ 
ering, and when the leaves are becoming yellow, 
the bulbs may bo removed in about three weeks 
after the flowers have faded. In this case, after 
removing all the flower stems, if this has not 
been done before, lay the bulbs ou a dry bed in 
the garden, and cover'them with a little earth. 
Here they cau remain until the leaves have ripen¬ 
ed, when they are ready to be packed away for 
fail planting. 
Many persons, not well acquainted with this 
flower, think that only the double varieties are 
desirable. This is not so. The value of the 
Hyacinth depends principally upon the lorrn of 
the spike and the arrangement of the flowers or 
bells upon the flower-stem. The truss or spike 
of bloom should be pyramidal aud the flowers 
close enough together to nearly or quite conceal 
the stalk. 
Hyacinths may be flowered in pots and glasses 
in the house, and they make the most beautiful 
winter flowers that can be imagined. Nothing 
can be more delightful, either for beauty or 
fragrance. From one to four bulbs may be 
planted in a pot, according to its size. Cover 
only the lower half of the bulbs with soil, 
press them down until they are nearly covered, 
then water until the soil is moistened thoroughly, 
and set the pots in a cool, dark cellar. The 
roots will there form, with but little growth of 
top. Here they may remain for several weeks, 
and a pot or two at a time can be taken Into a 
warm, light room, for flowering, a week or ten 
days apart, and a succession of flowers obtained 
during most of the winter. It flowers are desir 
ed about the “ holidays,’’ plaut tho bulbs about 
the first of November. 
When placed in glasses of water for flowering, 
only the base of the bulb should touch the water. 
Set them away for about two weeks In a dark 
room, until roots are formed; then remove to a 
light, warm room, and give plenty of light and 
air. Change the water occasionally, as it be¬ 
comes discolored. 
Only the choice name d varieties should be 
grown iu glasses and po ts, aud single are much 
more reliable than double sorts for house-cul¬ 
ture, while they are iu every respect as desirable. 
Hyacinths will usually commence flowering in 
this latitude the latter part of March, and by 
choosing the Early and Late varieties, a good 
show of blossoms can be secured for at least a 
mouth or six weeks. The Late varieties are 
mostly double, and are from two to three weeks 
later than the Early sorts. For the convenience 
of customers, I have designated the Txrte as well 
as the lxno ahd Tall flowering kinds. Those not 
noted as Late, are Early. This will be found a 
great help in planting. The Low sorts throwup 
a flower stem about six inches in height, and the 
trusses are usually globular and compact. The 
Tall sorts have a flower stem from six to ten 
inches or more in height, and the trasses are 
u-uctlly moK. loose. Ttie eolot) ^ .ltosiSed

TRAINING GRAJPE VINES. 
Respecting Grape Trellises, E. H. S. makes 
this inquiry:—“Would not thorough priming 
be very diflkult, if not wholly impracticable, it 
horizontal trellises were elevated in the maimer 
described?” (referring to a previous article in 
the Rural on “Grapes and Trellises.”) In 
some respects pruning would be more difficult 
than ou an upright trellis. It would be harder 
work to prune and tie the vines, but there 
would not be so much tying to do. But it 
would not be at all impracticable. Why would 
it ? Can anybody give a reason ? I have seen 
large vineyards trained on horizontal trellises, 
high enough for a man and horse to work under 
the vines, and there did not appear to be any 
difficulty iu pruning. It is certainly easy to 
pick tho grapes from such a trellis. 
E. H. S. further inquires“ Could not the 
same advantages be secured, and the obstacles 
mentioned overcome by a trellis so construct¬ 
ed that it could be plaoed perpendicularly 
or horizontally at will?” I presume he refers 
to a trellis hinged at the bottom, so that it can 
be leaned or maintained upwght at will. Such 
an arrangement would not p^aiit a freer circula¬ 
tion of air than the ordinary perpendicular one, 
or than the stake system. It would not permit 
free cultivation, and it wouU bring the grapes 
near the ground. It would je costly to make, 
and I should think clumsy to manage. 
At any rate this is a timely -object, and let us 
hear what grape men thiuk a >out it. 
Cruel, 
A VINEYARD AT NAPLES. 
-« 
SITUATION, MODE OF CCLTO.tB, PRUNING, AC. 
Eds. Rural New-Yorkeb: — Having taken 
occasion a few days since to Tst the vineyard of 
Mr. J. W. Clark, at Naples, I thought that a 
short sketch of his mode of culture, pruning, 
ifce., might not be uninteresting. 
It will be remembered by t^vse who attended 
the late meetiug of the FramGrowers’ Society 
in Rochester—or who read thi-eport of tho pro¬ 
ceedings in the Rural— that tie finest Isabella 
and Catowba grapes on exhllotion were grown 
in this vineyard. They were * large indeed, as 
to suggest In the miuda of so^e persons unac¬ 
quainted with Mr. Clark, a stipiclen that their 
unusual size was the result of Tgirflling.” This 
suspicion, however, was no longer entertained 
by tho gentlemen who, when the Society ad¬ 
journed, had an opportunity of tasting these 
grapes. 
The vineyard is situated upon a side hill, slop¬ 
ing eastward. The first thing noticeable upon 
walking through it, is the apparent poorness of 
of the soil. It is what is technically called a 
gravelly loam,” but I think a "stony loam” 
would perhaps convey a more correct idea of it. 
In many places it appears as though it had once 
been the bed of a creek snd no part of it would 
be called at all rich. The rows are fifteen feet 
apart, and the vines are planted at the same dis¬ 
tance in the rows. In coneequeoce they have 
an abundance of room, and the air has every¬ 
where free circulation. 
There is no mildew, nor any stgD ot it that we 
could discover. The practice of planting vines 
so dose together as they are in many vineyards 
seems to us to be very poor policy, If not utter 
folly, when land is bo cheap. 
The pruning is attended to in the spring, when 
the young ahoota have attained a growth of from 
four to six Inches. What is deemed a sufficient 
number of the strongest is left—the rest are rub¬ 
bed off. Very little summer pruning is done, as 
tbe bearing canes are so far apart that the sun 
has free access to all of them. It appears to be 
an axiom with Mr. Clark that only strong and 
well-ripened canes can produce large and well- 
ripened fruit. 
After walking through this vineyard and care¬ 
fully examining the fruit, I am fully persuaded 
that there Is not a rod in it that does not con¬ 
tain quite as fine, if not finer, grapes than were 
exhibited in Rochester, Il an abundance of large 
and well-ripened fruit can be taken as a criterion 
of success, Mr. Clark has certainly achieved it. 
It would be worth any one’s while who is inter¬ 
ested in the culture of the vine, to pay a short 
visit to Naples. We can assure them of a gentle¬ 
manly and hospitable reception by Mr. Clark.

Ellwanobr & Barry's Nursery — The Country 
Gentleman of last week contains this appreciative 
notice of the Mt Hope Nurseries, from the pen of J. 
J. Thomas On a recent visit to this celebrated 
establishment we found the same high finish and per¬ 
fection in crery department tbit has existed for sev¬ 
eral years. On entering the grounds one of the most 
striking features 5s the perfection of the broad lawn, 
interspersed with rare evergreen and deciduous trees. 
This awn is kept constancy mowed with Swift's 
new lawn mower which cuts by horse power, with 
groat rapidity, and with mathematical evenness, with¬ 
in ha’f an inch of tbe snr'ace of the ground, carrying 
off the cut pr.ass. A grass walk about ten feet wide 
and nearly half a mi e long as smooth a* a rihboD, is 
bordered on each side with the m«at brilliant disp ay 
of Bedded and other flowering plants. Their vast 
collection of dwarf and oiher specimen trees, although 
not bearing heavily, furnish many very perfect speci¬ 
mens. The nursery of fruit trees which continues to 
cover about 500 acres, affords a vast supply for plant¬ 
ing, and the trees are of remarkably fine growth. 
AinoDg them is half* million salable dwarf and stand¬ 
ard pears.” 
Seedling Roses. — At a meeting of the American 
Institute Farmer Club, Sir. A. Burgess of Glen 
Cove, presented a bushel-basket full of different varie¬ 
ties of seedling rosea, which were produced by Incase f 
from the seed lie remarked that the idea had pre¬ 
vailed that seedling roses could be produced only in 
France, but lhe truth was, they could be propagated

vised everybody to pant their rose seed He had

VARIOUS RECIPES, &c. 
Broiling Steak. — To those whose stoves, 
like ours, are tashioned in such a manner that 
they will not easily admit of the gridiron being 
placed over tho coala, I would say that they had 
better try our way, which is to place the spider 
ou the stove till it gets hot, (a little exper ence 
will enable you to get it just right,) then put in 
your steak and let it brown quickly ou both 
sides, take it out and put ou plenty of butter. 
If you wish for gravy, pour some water in the 
spider after you take the meat out, put in some 
butter, season with salt and pepper, and thicken 
it with flour wet with cold water. This is not 
quite equal to steak broiled over the coals, hut 
is much superior to that ftied iu grease. Try it. 
As Excellent Diarrhea Medicine.—O ne 
teaspoonful rhubarb, one of ground cloves, one 
of gronnd spice, one of ginger, a piece of golden 
seal the size of a large pea. Steep them all to¬ 
gether iu half a pint of water, bat do not let 
it boil much. Then put in two tablespoons 
cordial, if you have G. and enough loaf sugar to 
make a thick sirup, a uen you can bottle it and 
keep tor future use. Dose, one teaspoonful for 
an adult
