it presents little interest to the connoisseur 
who seeks for rarities. There are many 
beautiful specimens, however, of well-known 
conservatory plants. The azalias are partic¬ 
ularly fine, and they a.re grouped so as to 
make the most brilliant effects of color, I 
never saw such large flowers, such dense 
masses of bloom, or such a. great variety of 
beautiful tints. The roses are noteworthy for 
their size rather than for their beauty. The 
aim of the Vienna gardeners appears to be

ARBORICULTURAL ITEMS 
to produce as big a rose as possible, and to 
do this all comeliness of shape in the bush is 
sacrificed. It is trained to grow like a straight 
stick, and only a small bunch of leaves is 
allowed at the top. These rose trees, as they 
should be called, rather than bushes, are 
often ten feet, high, and they bear but three 
or four flowers each. Standing alone there 
is little beauty in them, but massed in dense 
hedges so that only the leafy top and the 
great roses are seen, the effect is striking, 
la the tent they are a rranged along the walls, 
the shortest in front, and the taller rows 
behind, graduated so as to make an equal 
slope along their tops Nowhere is a natural 
shaped bush to be seen, and while the great 
size and tine color of the flowei’s excite ad¬ 
miration, one soon tires of them and wonders 
at the false, taste that insists upon so deform¬ 
ing the bushes for the sake of getting roses of 
unusual magnitude. Next to the azalias and 
the rose-, the rhododendrons take up the 
most room and make the most brilliant show. 
There are pansies, of course, in countless 
variety, and Cinerarias, Hydrangeas^ Finks, 
Primroses, &e., of which nothing can be said 
except that they are all perfect in kind. 
Among rarer flowers there are a few orchids, 
a Nidularium splende us, with brown flow¬ 
ers, a Franc.t 9 c.ia, from Brazil, a group of the 
Aralia sieboldl, and a few others whose 
long botanical name I have forgotten. 
The Wild Cher ry is considered by the 
Viennese the best wood for pipes, and a let¬ 
ter states that this tree is cultivated in 
orchards near Vienna and tlmt the product 
of these orchards amount to *250,000 annu¬ 
ally, and that $500,000 worth of the pipes are 
exported every year to America, France, 
England, and other countries. 
THE BEATRICE PEACH 
United States are particularly iudebted to 
Thomas Fivers, for his success iu producing 
an early variety that is intrinsically good. 
In the Beatrice we have the result of his 
hybridizing his very superior Early Silver 
Peach, with the new White Nectarine, and 
it. is all that the grower can desire in an 
early Peach, being, though rather small, of 
beautiful color, agreeable flavor, and a sound, 
healthy bearer, and possesses remarkable 
keeping qualities, ripening, whether with Mr. 
DWARF PITCHER-PLANT OF NEW 
HOLLAND. 
(Cephalotus folliculo/ris .) 
This forms a neat, dwarf greenhouse plant, 
which grows from two to three inches in 
bight, and has short spathulate leaves rising 
from the center, and comparatively large 
oblong pitcher-shaped organs, lying on the 
soil in a somewhat circular outline around 
the leaves. The pitchers are green, tinged 
with purple or brown, with several fringed 
linear plates, extending lengthways on the 
outward surface of each, whilst the lower lip 
or mouth is formed with a regularly corru¬ 
gated or ridged margin. In some varieties, 
the lid, projecting from the upper or back 
part, is prettily marked with reddish-crimson 
bars. It forms one of the most wonderful 
illustrations of singular vegetable structure 
and economy. It thrives well in a warm 
greenhouse temperature, planted in a mix¬ 
ture of chopped sphagnum and rough sandy 
peat, well drained ; the principal precau¬ 
tions are to maintain a porous texture in the 
material in which it grows, admitting a free 
circulation of water, with a partially humid 
atmosphere in summer, but which should be 
gradually lessened in winter. A partially 
elevated bell-glass over the plant is often 
found conducive to its vigor, on account of 
its maintaining a more uniform temperature 
around it, and of its serving as a screen from 
the chilling effects of cold air or water upon 
the leafy appendages. 
APPLE TREES INJURED IN WINTER 
I have read your comment upon my article 
in the Rural New-Yorker of May 31, and 
if you are wrong in coming to the conclusion 
that it was the cold winter that injured my 
trees, I shall lay the blame upon myself for 
not giving a better and more accurate de¬ 
scription. I stated in that description that 
the upper purls of the branches were affect¬ 
ed the worst. By the “upper parts, M I did 
not mean the tips or extremities of the 
branches, which of course would be the first 
POMOLOGICAL GOSSIP 
Fruit Shows at the Meetings of the Ameri¬ 
can Potnologicul Society.— The Western Far¬ 
mer of May 31, alluding to the coming meet¬ 
ing of this Society says “ It is hoped that 
the Horticulture of Wisconsin will be well 
represented by exhibitions of horticultural 
products and horticultural men. We may 
express our personal opinion that too much 
importance has been given to State exhibi¬ 
tions of fruit at these meetings, and that 
Kansas and Nebraska have, by them, ob¬ 
tained reputations which we have no wish to 
say they do not deserve, hut which the exhi¬ 
bitions made did not prove them entitled to. 
But while this feeling exists, it is doing 
injustice to the fruit growing capabilities of 
Wisconsin and Minnesota to allow these 
States to be unrepresented, and so we hope 
the Northwest will do itself full credit at 
Boston,”

FLOWERS AT THE VIENNA EXPOSITION 
The Tribune correspondent says :—The 
flowers are nearly all of hot-house growth, 
and come from the establishments of the 
Vienna florists, with the exception of a con¬ 
tribution from Munich and another from 
Dresden. The exhibition ha3 therefore al¬ 
most no international character, and besides, 
to feel the effects of extreme cold, being the 
most tender part of the tree. But in my 
trees these extremities are the last to be 
affected. The “ blight,” as 1 call it, makes 
its appearance, as shown in the annexed 
figure—turning black between the lines a, «. 
The under side, b, is the last uffected, and
