adorned the most, labor under a great mistake,— 
for it is the blending of art with nature that will 
attract-. This is the idea which we wish to incul¬ 
cate in respect to landscape gardening, and which 
applies with equal force to either of the styles now 
in vogue—the beautiful and picturesque. These 
styles differ very materially from each other, aDd it 
requires a well trained and highly sensitive mind to 
distinguish and separate them. * 
That mistakes often do and will occur, particu¬ 
larly in what is usually termed ornamental garden¬ 
ing, is evident, even to the most casual observer. 
This latter is a style which is mainly followed by 
persona whose conception of the beautiful in nature 
is bnt limited, and is as distinct from landscape gar¬ 
dening as sign painting is from landscape painting. 
To one practitioner the light and shade, emerald 
green, azure blue or roseate tints of sky, earth and 
Torest, are like so many gems which are presented 
to his vision or seen floating in his mind, which he 
is to grasp, transfer and reset in hie picture with all 
the accessions that art can give; while to another 
they seem but mere illusions, like bubbles floating 
in air, passing by and then forgotten. Let it not be 
understood, however, that we desire to disparage 
far from it-,—for it is the 
BOBTIGULTinUL 
“ W. S. L.,” Fostoria, Ohio, asks for “informa¬ 
tion as to the age at which many or most of the 
leading varieties of pears bear frnit after being taken 
from the nursery at two years old and transplanted 
into the orchard,” 
There are so many items connected with the sea¬ 
son, soil and cultivation which the orchard trees 
might have, that it is almost, if not quite, impossi¬ 
ble, to state any positive conclusion as to the period 
at which trees of the same or different varieties 
would come into bearing. For instance, we have 
trees of the Flemish Beauty on the pear roots—i. e., 
termed standards — they were taken from the nur¬ 
sery three years since, and were then two years from 
bud. Some of these trees Ftand in sharp sandy, 
gravelly loam, others in strong clay. If there is 
any difference in size of trees, and extent of growth 
last year, it is in favor of those in the sandy soil, and 
yet those trees are now full of fruit buds while those 
in the clay soil have only here and there a blossom bud. 
It is generally supposed that light soils tend to 
check a luxuriant growth, and thus change the cur¬ 
rents of the sap into formation of fruit buds; but 
onr trees of many sorts on pear roots have always 
grown freely and yet come early to maturity in light 
sandy or gravelly soil—and we opine 1 hat it is attrib¬ 
utable more to the earlier period in the growing sea¬ 
son when the roots commence vigorously to supply 
the demand of the leaf, than to any other cause. 
Beurre Bose on a pear stock and on gravelly soil, we 
find to fruit at three years, while on rich clay loam 
it took with ns five years, bnt after the trees came 
into bearing those in the clay loam have given the 
most, largest and best fruit. Beurre d’Anjou we 
planted on quince and on pear roots, in similar soil; 
if anything the quince root had the most of gravel 
in it—and both bore frnit the same year two years 
from planting. 8wan’s OraDge, also, we planted on 
pear and quince and realized fruit from the quince at 
two years out and from the pear at three years, and 
at four years our tree on quince root had become a 
standard, having thrown out lateral pear rootB. 
Golden Beurre of Bilboa, and Dix—both standards— 
set at same time in loamy clay, gave fruit, the first 
at five years from planting, aud the last at eight 
years; and fruit- enough had been sold from the firet 
named before the second came into bearing to more 
than pay for fifty trees. A nice little early summer 
pear called Mary has given fruit on the pear root at 
two years from orchard planting. f. r. e. 
Lamb and Rice.— Half roast a neck of lamb, take 
it np, and cut it into steaks; take half a pound of 
rice boiled ten minutes in a quart of water, put it 
into a quart of good gravy, with two or three blades 
of mace, and a little nutmeg; do it over a stove or 
slow fire till the rice begins to be thick; then take 
it off and stir in a half pound of butter, and when 
that is quite melted stir in it the yolks of six eggs 
well beaten, then take a dish and butter it all over; 
take the steaks and put a little pepper and salt all 
over them, dip them in a little melted butter, lay 
them into the dish, ponr the gravy that comes out of 
them over them, aud then the rice-; beat the yolks 
of three eggs and ponr all over, send it to the oven, 
and bake it better than half an hour. 
How to Pot Herring. —A correspondent of the 
Germantown Telegraph communicates to that paper 
the following method to pot herring, which takes 
all the bones out of the fish. As the season for her¬ 
ring is approaching, would it not be well for those 
who like pickled fish, to preserve the recipe;—Clean 
and scale, then put them to soak a few hours, chang¬ 
ing the water at least twice to draw out the blood; 
take a jar or pot, put at the bottom cloves, allspice, 
pepper and salt, then a layer of fish, and so on alter¬ 
nately until the jar is nearly full, then cover with 
strong vinegar; now take bread dough and cover 
the jar about two inches thick to exclude the air; 
set the jar in a warm stove over night, and next day 
the fish is ready for the table, and the bones are

with any degree of success, aud in such places we 
would encourage it as much as possible,—but pro¬ 
test against its introduction into such country places 
as could, with a little judicious taste, be made to 
blend and assimilate with the scenery around. To 
preserve a proper balance between the true and the 
false when arranging the grounds of a country place,

Simple but Delightful Fruit Cake.—O ne cup 
of butter, three aud a half cups of light brown sugar; 
beat these ingredients to a cream, put the yolks of 
three eggs into the mixture, and beat all together; 
one cup of sweet milk, four cups of flour, in which 
mix one teaspoonfnl of cream of tartar, and half a 
teaspoonfnl of soda; take some of this flour and rub 
it into one pound of clean, dry currants, and add 
them to the mixture, then gradually stir in all the 
flour, one quarter of a nutmeg, and the grated rind 
of one lemon ; then add the beaten whites of the 
eggs; pour into a pan lined and covered with white 
paper, and bake in a moderate oven. 
The Star Apple.— Tree fifty or sixty feet high, 
something like a tall elm; wood hard ; foliage 
vivid dark green on the face of the leaf, on the back 
like frosted silver, with the ribs bright bronze, size 
and shape of a large apple leaf; one of the most 
beautiful in the world. When a DCgro wants to tell 
another that he is deceitful or two-faced, he say6, 
“ You stand like a star apple leaf.” The fruit is 
round, skin thick and smooth. When ripe they feel 
like rubber halls. Color, some light green, some 
purple like a vegetable egg; flesh varies like the 
skin; seeds black, like flat beans. If the fruit is 
cut through the center the divided seeds show a 
star in each half, hence the name. The fruit never 
drops, however ripe,—but will hang on and dry up; 
hence those who get star apples must climb the high 
trees and pull them, or knock them down. We have 
no fruit to which I can compare or liken them. 
The Custard Apple.—Tree like an old peach ; fruit 
irregular in shape, but tending to round ; skin rough 
and light brown, with some patches of bright, 
smooth red, like thin leather. When ripe the flesh 
is like a good, solid custard, very Dice, but much 
improved by a few drops of lime juice, a little 
white sugar and grated nutmeg. Beeda like black 
beans, but flat; grow wild, and very common.

selves in a reasonable time they should be exam¬

Guano will hurt some vegetables, if used freely, but 
we have never known it to hurt Limas arter they

raise that pays us better for the care in planting

nearly so, turn on the top an inch in depth of melted 
lard; put on the cover, set in a cool place, and it is

OLD NOTES. 
Home Jh'opagating Tanks.—Mr . Kittoe of Galena, 
Ill., has invented a tank for use in the window of 
the house, and adapted to the masses, where they 
have not room Tor a hot-bed or access to a green¬ 
house. It is to construct a pan of any suitable 
size to contain water, it being covered with slate- 
stone, on which earth is placed. The heating is ac¬ 
complished with a kerosene lamp with a tin chim¬ 
ney, made double, so the water circulates all round 
it, and this is connected with the pan or tank by 
two small tubes or pipes; the water in the tank is 
thus heated as desired. The tank can be made of 
any size, and used for starting of all tender plants 
and flower seeds, striking cuttings, etc. 
Wash for Fruit Trees .—The Working Farmer says: 
“We would remind onr readers again of the soda 
wash for fruit trees, which we havp*o often recom¬ 
mended. 'Ibis is the time of yeaiWor its applica¬ 
tion. Heat sal-soda to redness, so to drive out 
the water of crystalization and carbonic acid ; then 
dissolve the caustic soda in water at the rate of one 
pound to the gallon, and apply it wtoen cold to the 
trunks and larger branches of frnic trees, It will 
destroy cocoons and ova of insects, mosses of all 
kinds, decompose dead bark, and present a fine 
glossy snrface not likely to be attacked by insects. 
Unlike potash, it does not destroy any living por¬ 
tion of a plant, while it decomposes the dead por¬ 
tion more readily. 
Flume— Curcnlio. —Mrs. C. D. Salisbury, Coven¬ 
try, Chenango Co., N. Y., states that applying a 
thick coating of whitewash made of lime slaked 
with water, with a broom, from the roots of a tree 
to the limbs, when in blossom or soon after, will 
protect the fruit from the ravages of the curculio. 
She adds; — “It was by accident that 1 found it out, 
happening to whitewash a small plum tree while 
performing the operation on some *»ther trees. 
Being surprised with fruit where none had ever 
ripened before, I was led to try It again. 1 have 
used it three years, leaving one tree and whitewash¬ 
ing the rest to see whether it was in the lime or the 
season. Every time the whitewashed trees were 
laden with fruit, while the one left without white¬ 
washing never ripened a plum. A neighbor has 
tried it with the same result.” 
Lovers of fruit w®uld do well to test this simple 
remedy not only on the plum, bnt on all tender 
fruits — cherries, pears and apricots. 
The Admiral Farragut Pear .—The Journal of Hor¬ 
ticulture gives the following description of this pear 
from its originator, Dr. Shurleff. Its large size and 
fine appearance, added to the vigor and productive¬ 
ness of the tree, may render it a valuable variety for 
market purposes, if not for the amateurThe

Looking over some old memoranda in my note 
book I find that, last summer I saw in Ellwanger & 
Barks’s gardens, the following among other beau¬ 
tiful flowering plants that I and others ought to 
have. Among the perennials, I marked down Cam- 
paunla perx' d/otta, witlcifolia Jlorc plena, grandijlora 
a/.baph'iit, and tracheliutn, Lych,vus UhalccdendeapU.no, 
Chalcedonica ollm plena and Fbnbriata, the latter es¬ 
pecially beautiful with its small, rose colored flowers, 
Hesperi .s Matronalis, with its fragrant white flowers, is 
a gem for the hardy perennial border; and just as 
soon as they can propagate and offer for sale their 
collection of Doable Pyrethemums, 1 hope they will 
do so, for they are plants that should decorate every 
flower garden. 
1 was too late to see all the blooms of their mag¬ 
nificent collection of 1’eonies, but I saw enough to 
satisfy me that nowhere in my rambles had I seen as 
mauy varieties. You who know only tire old died

in funnel-form, with one pistil, six stamens and six 
petals, the average length abont six inches, and the 
prevailing color a beautiful crimson. The petals 
are whitish on the inside, folding closely about the 
stamen abont half way up, then spreading. The 
stamen has a crimson filament bolding up an anther 
thickly covered with its olive-green dust. When the 
bloom is fresh the petals incline together at the top, 
but after a few hours, curl outward. The plant con¬ 
tinues in bloom for several weeks, during which 
fresh flowers replace the drooping blossoms, so that 
the beauty of the crown is not diminished.” 
Aplks in the North west — C MtioOtion.— Mr. E. H. 
Skinner, Marengo, Ill., in an essay published in 
the Transactions of the Northern Ill. Hort. Soc’y, 
says;—“After carefully preparing the ground by 
subsoiling, Ac., I set an orchard of five acres of 
young root-grafted trees with the following results: 
The products of this orchard of live acres the third 
year after setting, were seven and a half barrels of 
choice apples which sold for per barrel. The 
fourth year, 55 ban-els, which sold for $5 per barrel. 
The fifth year, 70 barrels, which sold for $5 per bar¬ 
rel. lhe sixth year, 187 barrels, which are now sell¬ 
ing at -85 per barrel. The four years’ product amount¬ 
ed in all to ?1 ,i’>Ji,..* 0. This proves most conclusively 
to my own mind two things. First: That the apple 
may be successfully produced in its highest stage of 
perfection here in the Northwest. Secondly ; That 
while seedlings may be, and arc cultivated with rea¬ 
sonable success, root-grafted or budded trees of 
hardy sorts are much better adapted to our wants 
and may be cultivated with far greater assurances 
of success. The above-mentioned orchard of tiw

IMPROVEMENT OF COUNTRY PLACES, 
How are we to lay out and plant our grounds so 
that the improvements may be in good taste, and 
also permanent, is a question that we are continu¬ 
ally hearing on all sides, and to persons of usual 
experience the solution is seldom an easy one. 
Many and great are the mistakes of the novice who 
himself undertakes to lay out a country place. 
The improvements of a new home, or the changes 
in an old one, are frequently begun and carried on 
without forethought, without plan, and without the 
remotest idea of future effect*. And what is the re¬ 
sult of all this V Why, simply that failures are the 
rule—success the exceptions. 
We have long come to the conclusion (for experi¬ 
ence has taught us) that there is no branch of the 
fine or liberal arts so imperfectly understood among 
ns as Landscape Gardening; and we here most em¬ 
phatically enter our protest against the indiscrimi¬ 
nate application of :he term to every uew place 
which is to be laid out, no matter what size it may 
be or what circumstances surround it. For any one 
who has the spirit of improvement upon him to 
fancy he has the genius of a Powers, a Church or 
a Bierstadt, and that he can produce such effects 
as they can on canvas, is ntterly absurd. As an or¬ 
namental gardener he may, perhaps, produce some¬ 
thing worthy his efforts, but there is a wide differ¬ 
ence between ornamental gardening aud landscape 
gardening. They hear about the same analogy to 
each other that landscape painting does to orna¬ 
mental painting; a paiuter of signs may be called

Raising Lima Beam, — A correspondent of the 
Gardeners’ Monthly gives the following directions: 
“ About the first or second week in May, when the 
ground is in a suitable condition and in good order, 
we proceed to dig out the holes, taking out three 
or more spadesful of earth ; then in the center make 
the holes with a crowbar, and put in the poles 
securely. Put a shovelful of well rotted stable 
manure or, if you have the article on hand, home¬ 
made poudrette in a hill; cover the manure two or 
three inches deep, and then plant the Limas care¬ 
fully point downwards around the pole. Ten or 
more seeds should be put in a hill, so that if it 
should be a bad season, and only a part come up, 
we will have some to rely on. If more than four 
grow, when three or four inches high leave the best 
and pull the others np. We think there should be 
Soil for Gardening .—The best soil for gardening 
is a deep, rich, warm sand. A good soil is a friable 
loam and the worst is a stiff clay. Upon the latter, 
even if well drained, it is useless to attempt to raise 
early vegetables; one must content himself with 
the grosser and later crops. Three important con¬ 
siderations with the market gardener are, a warm, 
rich soil, nearness to market, and ample facilities 
for getting manure. Without the first, he caunot 
raise early crops; without the second, he cannot 
get them to market in good condition, and without 
the last, he cannot cultivate successfully at all. 
In gardening it is not sufficient that the land was 
manured last year. It must be manured this year 
as well, and the best manure is a compost, com¬ 
posed of every waste thing liable to decay about a
