landscape GABDENING-No. VI. 
[This article concludes a series from the pen 
of Mr. Webster, ou the above subject, ■which, 
■with the accompanying designs, -will assist resi¬ 
dents of the town or form in maturing plans to 
adorn their homes. They are designed more for 
studies—as teachers and prompters in the beau¬ 
tiful art of Landscape Gardening—than as plans 
to be literally adopted, for the surroundings and 
specialities of each individual place must neces¬ 
sarily modify and shape the features of its arti¬ 
ficial landscape.—E ds.] 
This style is admirably adapted to any section 
of country where the surface of the ground pre¬ 
sents a partially broken or slightly undulating 
appearance. It will be noticed thatin this Design 
the curves assimilate themselveB to each other 
in au easy, graceful manner. 
The term garde nesque i9 mostly applied in Eu¬ 
rope to such places as present a highly finished 
exterior, or some peculiar arrangement. In this 
country with our grand and ever varied scenery, 
wc are frequently at a loss lor some term that 
shall adequately express the particular style of 
landscape gardening adopted. I propose, there¬ 
fore, for my own part, to apply the term gar- 
dcnnttque to all such places as partake somewhat 
of the characteristics of the beautiful and the 
picturesque, yet the outlines of which are not 
sufficiently marked to be classed with cither. 
As the picturesque is a type of everything wild 
and uncultivated iu nature, so Is the beautiful a 
type of everything lovely in a landscape, and it 
becomes apparent that wc need a term that shall 
express a medium, when speaking of a style of 
gardening that will best assimilate itself with 
the surrounding scenery. As all curves ought 
to present a prominent object for deviating from 
a straight line, it becomes necessary for these 
curves In passing such object, whether it be 
around the base of some knoll or slight eleva¬ 
tion, to assume an easy and graceful outline. 
In this style of landscape gardening evergreen 
shrubs should bear a prominent part. 
The Design represents a place of five acres, the 
scale 100 feet to the inch, and like No. 5, shrubs 
are abundantly used. In continuation of my list 
of evergreen shrubs I will now mention a few 
more adapted to this style: — Mdhotiia, or Holly 
Leaved Ashberry; JBhxuSj or Tree Box; Kuony- 
imt , or Strawberry Tree; Pyracantha, or Ever¬ 
green Thoru. 
As the list of evergreen skrubs adapted to 
general cultivation in this climate is rather lim¬ 
ited, I have selected those only which will pro¬ 
duce the best results. 
CULTIVATING THE MTJSXMELON. 
A correspondent of the Country Gentleman 
has had several years’ experience in the follow¬ 
ing novel way of growing melons, cucumbers, 
&c. “ Manure is the first consideration. I use 
none but horse manure; having had it laid up 
to ferment, I turn it over several times until the 
strong heat has passed off. I then dig my holes 
twelve inches square, eight or ten inches deep. 
I then rill up with manure to the level of the 
surface of the ground. On this I put two inches 
of soil. I then take a four-inch flower pot; set 
this in the center; then draw the remainder of 
the soil around the pot, pressing it rather firmly 
around it, until you have the soil about four 
inches deep; then, giving your pot a twist 
round, withdraw It. This leaves a hole four 
inches deep by four wide. In this 1 drop live 
or six seeds, and cover to the depth of three- 
quarters of an inch. Over this I place a light 
of six-by-eight glass, pressing it lightly to fit. 
close. I then give no more attention till the 
plants are touching the glass. 1 then go though 
them, taking a small lump of earth or small 
stone, raise up one end of the glass and place 
this under it; this admits of a circulation of air 
over the plants and hardens them off. In about 
three days more I remove the glass entirely. By 
this lime they will he in the rough leaf, i thin 
out to three plants in a hill. 1 draw a little line 
soil around them, up as high as the seed leaf, and 
the work is done. The advantages of this system 
arc, the protection of the young and tender plants 
from cold winds and rains, and last, though not 
least, it is the only effectual way of protection 
that I have found for that arch enemy of all this 
class of plants, the striped yellow bug. Cucum¬ 
bers, w atermelons and squashes can be raised in 
the same way.”

FEVEKS vs. FRUITS.-GREENLAND TO 
HINDOSTAN. 
Let’s have a little talk about orchards and 
gardens, as life - preservers. Many a farmer 
thinks he “can’t fuss about a garden” with 
vegetables and small fruits in ample variety, 
hardly about an orchard, especially beyond 
apple trees. So he goes ou to weightier mat¬ 
ters of grain, or stock, or dairy, and eats pota¬ 
toes, wheat bread, pork and salt beef, all summer 
long. No fine variety of vegetables, no grateful 
berries, no luscious peaches or juicy cherries. 
By October fever comes, or bowel complaints of 
some kind, or some congestive troubles most 
likely. He is laid up, work stops a mouth, the 
doctor comes, and ho “ drags round” all winter, 
and the doctor’s bill drags, too. The poor 
wife, meanwhile, gets dyspeptic, constipated, 
has fever, too, perhaps, and she “just crawls 
round.” What’s the matter ? They don’t know, 
poor souls. Would they build a hot fire in July 
and shut the doors? Of course not—in their 
rooms; but they have done just that in their poor 
stomachs. How so? They havo been eating, 
all summer, the heat-producing food, tit for a 
cold season, but not for a warm one. A Green¬ 
lander c-an eat candles and whale fat, because 
they create heat. In January we are up toward 
Greenland—in climate.

A Hindoo lives on rice, juicy fruits and tropic 
vegetables, cooling and opening to the system. 
In July we move toward Hindostan, in a heat 
almost tropical. Diet must change, too. 
Have apples, pears, cherries, <fce., from the 
orchard, every day, of early and late kinds. Let 
there he plenty of good vegetables, raspberries, 
strawberries, Ac. It takes a little time and 
trouble, but it's the cheapest way to pay the doctor's 
bills. And, bless yonr dear souls, these things 
taste good! 
You study what feed is good for pigs and 
cattle. All right; but wife and children are of 
higher consequence; and it’s a shame i' - , with all 
our great gifts of intellect and intuition, we do 
not obey the Divine Laws In our own physical 
being so well that the doctor shall visit the 
house less than the horse-doctor goes to the 
barn. Don’t fail of vegetables, berries and 
fruits. Try it, and you’ll say we haven’t told 
half the truth.— s. 
TRELLIS FOR PEA VINES. 
Procure some durable timber, sawed into 
strips two or two and a half inches square, cut 
it Into proper lengths according to the height 
of the vines, allowing from a foot to eighteen 
Inches to go into the ground. Bore a hole half 
an inch in diameter, an inch or two from one 
end, another about eight or ten inches from 
that, aud so on down within a few inches from 
the surface ol the ground. Sharpen the other 
end, and it is ready for driving. A set of these 
made alike and driven between the rows of peas 
at suitable distances, say eight or ten feet, forms 
a very good support l'or twine which may be 
strung through each hole, and then wound 
around, or half way around, and strung through 
again. Tarred twine would last ft number of 
seasons. Hoop skirt springs would answer the 
same purpose, but instead of winding around 
the stakes they could be keyed iu by wooden 
pins tightly driven by the side of the springs. 
A set of these stakes made of the right kind of 
timber would last for many years with proper 
care iu driving, and housing when not in use. 
Where sawed stuff could not be procured, poles 
would answer just as well as long as they last. 
Any device of the kind would be much better 
than brush for many reasons. It would he more 
easily set, less in the way when hoeing, and 
when picking, more easily gathered out of the 
way to make room for late vegetables, worth 
storing and easily stored. J. Doolittle. 
P0M0L0GICAL GOSSIP. 
TnE Stuyvesant Pear Tree.— This pear tree, 
of which wc gave au engraving in our last vol¬ 
ume, recently blew down iu a storm. It was a 
famous tree in New York city, being over two 
hundred years old. 
Three Choice Standard Trees.— The Hor¬ 
ticulturist, in reply to a correspondent, names 
Clapp’s Favorite, Bourns d’ Anjou and Josephine 
de Malincs as three hard, healthy, productive 
varieties adapted to market purposes. 
Figs in the South. — “ Warwick,” in the 
Southern Cultivator, says it young he would 
plant five acres of fig trees, and learn how to 
dry, preserve and pack the fruit for market. 
Alter a few years the profits would be a thou¬ 
sand dollars annually. The Editor adds that 
fortunes will yet he made iu the South by the 
preparation of fig preserves and pickles for 
Northern markets. 
Red Cedar and Mildew.—C ol. D. 8. Dewet, 
Hartford, Conn., gives his observations in the 
Horticulturist on the tendency of red eedar to 
prevent mildew and the attacks of insects on 
grape vines when it is used for posts and trel¬ 
lises to support the vines. The posts in his 
own vineyard are of red cedar, connected by 
strips ot white pine; his vines have never been 
troubled with mildew or insects, and those near¬ 
est the posts have surpassed tbe. others in health 
aud bearing. He gives several Instances which 
seem to show that red eedar employed in the 
trc-llia tends to give Immunity against mildew 
and insects. 
Fighting the Curculio.— One western fruit 
grower successfully uses evliat he terms a eurcu- 
l:o trap, which is a largepji'ce of canvas stretched 
on a frame resembling ar/lnverted umbrella, and 
mounted on a wheel barrow. It is run under a 
tree; a slit in the canvas admits the trunk of the 
tree to the center of the canvas, and the “ ani¬ 
mals” in the tree are jarred down into it. An¬ 
other gardener says the following has been tested 
and found to be a sure preventive of the attack 
of the curculio on plum trees. It is simple and 
easily tried:—Take u quantity of corn cobs, wind 
a wire around them, terminating in a hook at the 
end of the cobs; then dip them into gas tar until 
they arc saturated. Hang a dozen or more on a 
tree, and no curculio will disturb the tree. Try it.

scribe the numberless kinds of flowers, and our 
apples are many in kind and quality. Lists of apples 
best fitted for many different sections of the country 
are given, and an iudex of apples, copious and clear. 
The book must commend itself to all interested—(and 
what farmer Is not ?)—iu this matter. We shall make 
extracts from it.

Horticultural Instruction.— The Lecture at the 
Tracy Female Institute by William Webster on 
Thursday, Ap’111, was a success. The subject, Horti¬ 
culture, was selected, in its particular relation to 
Flora-culture and ornamental gardening, which now 
interests so many ladies of our city anil finds so much 
success. Mr. Webster has the reputation of fine 
knowledge and practical application of the subject, 
and his hearers appeared to bo greatly Interested arid 
gratified, it, is proposed to continue his instruction 
at the Seminary, and to make it appropriate, not 
merely to the older pupils of the school, but to young 
ladies and all who desire to increase their knowledge 
aud enjoyment, of Flora-culture. The teaching is to 
be illustrated by a practical example in the garden of 
the Seminary.— c. d. 
Illinois Hoet. Society Transactions.— We are 
indebted to W. C. Flagg., Esq., Corresponding Sec¬ 
retary of the Elinois Horticultural Society for a copy 
of its transactions during the last year. It contains 
much valuable matter in reference to the subject of 
Horticulture, presented in good style.

Remedy for Curculio.— A few years ago we cop¬ 
ied a statement that elder branches hung up iu fruit 
trees had kept off the curculio. We understand that 
some of our readers have tried it with success. 
A GREAT WANT FOR THE TABLE. 
Ladies, Women, Girls !—one and all. Please 
read and consider, 'i'his is the department of 
“ domestic economy." Recipes for cakes, pies, 
jellies, pickles, &<_■., Arc., arc all well enough 
and right enough. They go to make up the 
variety of diet the composite tastes of that 
many-sided being man (and woman also) de¬ 
mand. Some doubtless ou trial would be tooth¬ 
some and nourishing; others we fear would give a 
rhinoceros the dyspepsia. But bread, the “ staff 
of life,” is what is needed; —of best quality, 
light, sweet, so good—alas so rare! “A loaf! a 
loaf! my kingdom for a loaf!” (Shakspenre 
modernized) is the cry. 
We’ve heard college students bloviate in Greek 
and Latin who could not spell common English 
words correctly. Wo once, in company with « 
professor in a great university, walked past a 
cart-wheel lying on the grass by the road-side. 
The learned pundit stopped with groat interest 
to look at the wheel, and asked, “ Is’ut that the 
new water-wheel they are to use in the mill?” 
Don't even smile, good woman, unless you can 
make good bread; for the housekeeper who is 
an adept in fancy cooking and Ignorant of the 
great primary and important art, is just as ridic¬ 
ulous as these gentlemen. 
Daughters, begin with bread-making and other 
useful branches. Learn that part first and well. 
Be proud of your beautiful and healthful loaves, 
—white and brown, wheat, bolted and unbolted, 
Indian, rye, We. Learn it all. 
Send in your directions and recipes. We’ll 
publish all we can in our little corner. Have 
premiums and a bread-table full at your fairs.

Dealer Iu lines, at a profit of 10 to 15 per cant. 
Sixth: The \V holcsala Tea Dealt r sells It to the. Whole¬
