ANSWERS  TO  OOEEESPONDENTa 
J.  II.  C. — Alfalfa.  I.ucorno,  and  f’liili  clover 
aie  all  one  and  flio  hiiiiic  thing.  IJotanioally,  it 
id  tbo  Mi  iUrngo  .sn/z/v/,  and  one  of  the  oldest 
plants  known  to  bn  eiiltivatcd  for  fo<lder.  Its 
leaflets  arc  inthroe.s,  like  tlic  comniru  aptfcios  of 
clover  ;  they  are  in  shape  ohovatc  oblong,  slight¬ 
ly  toothed.  The  flowers  are  pale-Llue.  vio¬ 
let  or  purple,  and  pea-Hhais-d.  Tlie  seed  is 
borne  in  downy  i)oda,  which  ur«  t\^ed  into  two 
or  three  twirls.  It  succeed.s  on  d(J|f  permeable 
soils,  but  not  on  hard,  stilf  clay.  It  will  snececd 
well  in  tlie  climate  of  Alabama  if  the  soil  Is  suit¬ 
able. 
llorlU-uUnrisi, — You  could  not  dtde.nnino  with 
any  degree  of  certainty,  whotlier  tho  pear  was  a 
seedling  or  a  graftfal  treo  by  the  test  proimsod. 
If  there  is  no  sign  on  the  stem  of  tho  tree  that  it 
has  Iwen  grafted,  and  the  suckers  from  the  roots 
bear  the  same  fruit  as  the  p.arent  tree,  it  might  in 
ordinary  instances  he  taken  as  very  good  evidence 
of  its  being  a  seedling ;  yet  there  is  stillroom  for 
a  doubt. 
Pear  trees  aro  sometimoH  budded  or  grafted 
close  to  the  roots  or,  as  usually  termed,  near  to, 
or  on  the  crown.  Now  it  frequently  happeo-s 
that  when  such  trees  aro  transplanted,  they  are 
set  a  little  or  good  deal  doepfu'  than  formerly, 
the  result  being  that  now  roots  push  out  from 
above  the  junction  of  bud  or  graft  with  the 
stock,  and  in  this  case  tho  old  or  original  roots 
fro(iuently  dio  and  enliroly  decay,  leaving  tho 
tree  uijon  its  own  root-s.  Tliis  will  bo  tlie  result 
nine  times  out  i>f  ton  v>i(ii  pears  workial  iijwiii 
quince  roots,  wliicb  aro  set  ileeji  enough  to  com¬ 
pletely  cover  tho  p<jint  of  junction  in  the  earth. 
Of  oonrse  you  can  see  how  readily  one  might 
be  deceived  in  supposing  tliat  an  old  treo  pro(v 
agated  under  such  drcumstaucoa,  was  the  origi¬ 
nal  of  a  variety,  or  as  some  tenn  it,  ‘‘  a  seedling 
tree,”  liocause  the  roots  wore  the  same  as  the  top. 
James.-  l>o  not  be  too  sure  that  precious 
stones  or  minerals  of  groat  value  aro  to  be 
found  in  your  locality.  Thousands  of  ijersons 
have  hud  their  heads  turned  throngli  finding 
specimens  of  quartz  crystals,  sujiposing  them  to 
be  diamonds.  Wo  might  tell  you  sonic  funny 
stories  about  young  men  coming  to  New  Y'ork 
with  diamonds  of  great  value  in  their  isickets, 
which  turned  out  to  bo  nothing  but  quartz  worth 
about  T*!  a  cord,  be  suro  of  value  before  build¬ 
ing  ‘‘  air  castles." 
Potato  Vroicer.  Dr.  Huntku  was  the  man 
who  is  supposed  to  have  first  .advanced  the  tiioory 
that  the  duration  of  a  variety  of  potato  Ls  limited 
to  alxiiil  fourUou  years.  You  will  find  that  theory 
refcric*!  to  in  the  Transactions  of  the  London 
Horticidlural  Hociety  for  1807,  page  57. 
J.  M.,  Jirad/onl  Co.,  Pa.  —We  do  not  know 
who  has  the  “  Anautlia,  or  pluck  Hca  wheat,"  for 
sale.  Perhaps  you  might  find  these  varieties  by 
addre-S-xiiig  some  of  our  seedtanen.  Toulouse 
geese  are  sometimes  offered  for  sale  in  our  col¬ 
umns,  but  at  present  we  do  not  know  of  any  one 
having  a  stock  to  disi>osc  of. 
J/i'S.  P.  H'.  //.—The  plants  sent  are  as  fol¬ 
lows:— No.  1,  acuto-leaved  Liverwort  (//cpn/ica 
aeiUUoba).  No.  2,  Hue  auemone  (  Tlutlkirum 
a/ic/nowoti/c.s).  Both  aro  very  jnotty  early  spring 
tlowering  plants,  and  common  in  most  of  tlio 
Northern  States. 
InsedH  P'oui  MinnenvUi..  Mrs.  8.  A.  M.,  New 
London,  Minn.  -'J'lio  insects  you  send  aro :  -No. 
1,  Cueujus  claripes,  one  of  the  common  booties 
wbicli  lives  under  tho  bark  of  old  dead  ti'ces. 
No.  2 — Pasiiitaekus  elo/igalus,  one  of  tho  large 
ground  beetles  whicb  is  quite  common  all  over 
tho  country.  It  is  a  friend  to  tho  fainnor  and 
gardener,  as  it  feeds  on  some  of  our  noxious 
species. 
No.  3— Is  the  well  known  Bombardier  beetle 
Braeh>jaiia  fumuns.  If  you  look  sharp  when 
one  is  caught,  the  reason  why  it  was  named  tlie 
Bombardier  will  be  apparent. 
No.  4  Is  a  water  beetle.  Tho  iiccuUar,  gyrat¬ 
ing  motion  as  it  swims  on  the  surface  suggested 
the  name  of  tho  genua,  GyrinuH.  Tho  species 
you  send  is  the  fJ.  ehiayijinatiis. 
No.  — Is  a  gigantic  water  bug  and  not  a  bee¬ 
tle.  It  is  known  to  entomologista  as  Belasloma 
yiganteus. 
No.  C — L'leodi-s  ojiaca  of  S.iV;  and  like  many 
other  HiK'cies  of  Uie  same  genus,  iuliabit.s  the 
prau’ics  and  plains  we.st  of  tho  Sliaslssippi. 
No.  7 — Is  a  dai'k  vaidcty  of  the  purple  Tiger 
beetle,  Cincindela  pnrpmrn.  This  variety  was 
formerly  known  iu  cabinets  under  (lie  name  of 
C.  AiiiluUini.  The  Tiger  beetles,  of  which  tlieie 
are  some  seventy  or  more  species,  are  supiiosed 
to  be  beneficial,  as  they  feed  on  other  insects. 
No.  .8  —Belongs  to  the  great  family  of  Scaven¬ 
ger  bcetlca,  many  of  which,  like  the  common 
ilay  beetle,  arc  injurious  to  vegetation  both  in 
the  larval  and  imago  stages.  The  one  you  send 
is  sometimes  called  the  Indian  Cctonia,  hut  by 
late  authorities  it  is  placed  in  the  genus  Euryo- 
mia,  and  will  generally  be  found  iu  cabinets  la¬ 
beled  as  1C.  inda.  Tliis  insect  is  sometimes  quite  i 
dcsti-uctive  to  corn,  eating  off  the  silk  ;  it  also  | 
attacks  ripening  iieaches  and  other  fruits.  i
