Note. — All  hitet's  of  inquiry  mtst  be  acconv- 
panied  toilli  Oxe  name  and  address  of  the  im'iler. 
It  is  seldom  we  can  name  plants  from  leaves 
or  twigs  alone.  The  flower  is  generally  indis¬ 
pensable. 
Young  Buggist. — The  great  shining  black  and 
lazy  beetle  which  you  found  in  an  old  rotten 
stump  and  send  ua  in  a  box,  is  the  Horned  Pas- 
salufl,  (Passalus  cormitus').  Wo  give  the  ac¬ 
companying  portrait  to 
help  some  other  young 
bug  or  beetle  hunter  to  \  X 
recognize  him.  This  bee-  \  J 
tie  is  not  injurious  to  veg- 
etation,  but  might  with 
propriety  bo  termed  bene-  f  I  ■  I  ‘  I 
licial,  for  it  helps  to  con-  | 
vort  old  half-rotten  logs  i  !■  i 
and  stmnps  into  vegetable  vU  mV  ^ 
mold,  which,  in  its  turn, 
becomes  the  food  of  grow¬ 
ing  plants.  It  does  not  attack  di-y  timber,  but 
only  that  which  is  so  far  decayed  as  to  absorb 
and  hold  considerable  moisture.  They  are  very 
common  in  almost  all  parts  of  the  country  and 
there  is  scarcely  a  State  in  the  Union  from  which 
wo  have  not  received  specimens  of  the  Honied 
Passalus. 
<7.  W.  Mallory,  Smith's  Ranch,  Cal. — From 
week  to  wcelt  I  nolico  “  Answers  to  C’onrospond- 
ents,”  and  as  I  desiro  information,  1  take  the 
liberty  to  address  you,  atiking  name  of  plant  in¬ 
closed.  I  Htmd  leaf  and  seed  stalk.  Stock  seem 
to  be  very  fond  of  the  i>laut.  The  plant  in  this 
dry  country  keeps  green  the  entire  year.  Can 
you  tell  me  wliero  I  wrnild  be  likely  t»)  obtain  the 
seed  ?  Do  you  think  it  would  be  good  for  milch 
cows  ?  I  have  only  a  few  plants,  and  cannot  ob¬ 
tain  seed  in  tlds  vicinity.  Please  answer  by  let¬ 
ter  or  through  Uio  IlimAi.,  at  your  earliest  con¬ 
venience,  and  greatly  oblige  an  old  subscriber 
to  your  valuable  paper.  Asa. — Plantago  lanceo- 
lata,  the  T.ance-leaved  Plantain.  This  weed  is  a 
jMjst  with  us,  though  it  is  seldom  wo  meet  this 
species  with  so  wide  a  blade.  The  familiar 
names  are  Rib  Grass,  English  and  Buckhorn 
I’lantain. 
Jledical  works  say  that  tho  leaves  are  saline, 
bitterish — tho  roots  sweetish.  It  has  been  rec¬ 
ommended  in  ulcers  of  various  kinds  and  in 
tumors  of  a  scrofulous  character.  It  is  still 
used  as  a  vulnerary  and  as  a  dressing  for  blisters 
and  sores. 
Tuubbeu’h  Darlington  says : — Tho  seeds  being 
nearly  tho  same  sizo  and  weight  as  those  of  tho 
red  clover,  they  cannot  bo  readily  separated — 
and  thus  tho  two  plants  are  disseminated  to¬ 
gether  in  tho  culture  of  clover.  Nearly  all  kinds 
of  stock  cat  this  I’lantain  freely,  and  it  has  oven 
boon  cultivated  expressly  for  a  sheep  pasture; 
but  it  is  generally  much  disliked  in  Pennsylvania. 
Shakbpeauf.  says  in  Romeo  and  Juliet: 
Rom. — Yonr  IHantain  leaf  is  excoUont  for  that. 
Ben. — For  what,  I  pray  thee  ? 
Rotn. — For  your  broken  shin. 
Ben. — Why,  Romeo,  art  ihou  mad  [ 
We  knoAV  iK)t  how  healing  it  may  be  for  ulcers 
and  broken  shins — but  as  to  its  cultivation,  wo 
commend  you  to  patience.  Having  it  already 
among  you,  a  few  seasons  will  supply  all  tho 
seeds,  if  not  all  the  plants,  that  you  will  need 
for  any  purpose  whatsoever. 
Subscriber. — Are  all  varieties  of  Dracrenas 
raised  from  canes  ?  If  D.  indivisa  is  raised 
from  seed,  where  can  it  be  procured?  Also, 
where  can  the  canes  bo  obtained  ?  Is  Latania 
Borbonica  raised  from  seed  ?  If  so,  where  can 
it  also  bo  had  ?  What  is  the  difference  be¬ 
tween  Tacsonias  and  Passifloras  ?  Please  answer 
through  Rubax.  Axs. — We  do  not  suppose  you 
can  procure  canes  of  Dracanas  without  purchas¬ 
ing  tho  plants.  Tho  whole  stems  are  stripped 
of  leaves  and  placed  in  sand-beds.  Each  joint 
or  node  will  form  roots  in  a  month  or  more.  Or 
the  canes  may  be  cut  up  in  pieces  two  or  three 
inches  long  and  ti'eated  in  the  same  way.  Or 
they  may  be  propagated  by  tying  moss  about  the 
stems,  a  very  good  method  likewise  of^shorten- 
ing  their  logs  when  tliis  has  become  neoeasBry 
by  the  lower  leaves  falling  off.  They  are  not  aM 
raised  from  canes.  J),  indivisa  may  bo  raised 
from  seed,  which,  with  those  of  Latania  Bor¬ 
bonica,  are  offered  by  several  English  seedsmen 
— E.  G.  HEKjoEKsoy  of  London,  for  instance. 
Tacsonias  and  J'assifloras  are  species  veiy 
nearly  related  under  tho  order  I'assifloreae. 
B.  A.  C.,  Tihiseme, — I  wish  to  remove  an  Ai-- 
hor  VitED  hedge  from  the  southern  to  the  north¬ 
ern  boundary  of  my  premises.  The  hedge  is 
three  feet  high  and  was  planted  three  years  ago. 
Will  you  advise  me  when  to  transplant  and  if  it 
be  necessary  to  provide  new  soil  for  the  new 
trench  ?  How  deep  ought  it  to  be  made.  Axs. 
— It  might  be  transplanted  now,  if  great  care 
were  exercised  and  the  plants  sufficiently  watered, 
but  not  later.  Wo  advise  you  to  wait  until  early 
spring.  It  is  not  necessai-y  to  provide  new  soil, 
though  advantageous  to  do  so  if  obtainable 
MOORE’S  RURAL 
without  too  much  trouble  and  cost.  The  ti’onch 
should  bo  dug  at  least  two  feet  deep.  Use  your 
best  soil  next  to  the  roots.  Preserve  balls  of 
earth  about  them  if  possible. 
JI.  E.  M.—l  Lave  a  oidlor  floor  which  was  ce¬ 
mented  six  months  ago,  Tlio  cement  does  not 
sot  thoroughly.  What  would  you  advise  ?  Wliat 
proportion  of  sand  and  cement  is  best  ?  Is  thei'e 
any  choice  in  sand  ?  An.s. — K.  mistake  sometimes 
made  by  inexjxirionced  persons  in  the  use  of  ce¬ 
ment  is  that  too  largo  quantities  arc  mixed  at 
one  time.  The  result  is  it  sots  bi>foro  all  can  bo 
used.  It  is  a  good  deal  more  trouble  to  mix 
cement  in  small  quantities  than  it  is  in  largo. 
Hence  indifferent  or  ignorant  workmen  adopt 
the  easier  course.  Supposing  the  cement  used 
to  be  fresh  and  good,  throe  parts  of  sand  aixi  not 
too  many  for  one  of  cement.  It  should  be  mixed 
rapidly  and  used  as  soon  as  possible.  Coarse, 
shaiqi  sand  is  tho  best.  Lifoloss,  clayey  sand  is 
quite  inferior. 
Wo  would  advise  you  to  procure  freshly-made 
cement,  coarse,  sharp  sand,  and  mix  in  tlie  above 
proportions,  viz.,  one  part  of  cement  to  three  of 
sand,  and  spread  it  over  your  collar  as  it  is— being 
first  careful  to  wash  the  old  surface  as  clean  as 
poHsiblo. 
Youny  Fdnner.— Tho  Beet-root  sugar  indus¬ 
tries  in  this  country  are  in  a  better  condition  this 
season  than  they  have  been  for  several  years 
past,  but  wo  would  advise  you  to  proceed  slowly 
if  intending  to  invest  a  large  amount  in  this  en¬ 
terprise.  Better  visit  tho  manufaetory  at  Free¬ 
port,  Ill.,  or  oven  go  to  California  and  see  what 
has  boon  done  there.  Yon  will  thus  Jearu  the 
mistaltoa  of  Others,  aud  with  this  knowledge  can 
avoid  making  the  same  yourself.  Of  ooimso  it 
looks  well  on  paper  to  say  that  3,000,1)00  pounds 
of  sugar  were  manufactured  from  beets  at  Sac¬ 
ramento,  but  those  simple  statements  give  us  no 
information  as  to  tho  cost  or  profits. 
Smolcer..  It  may  be  true,  as  has  often  boon 
stated,  that  during  the  visitation  of  "  tho  groat 
plague"  in  London  in  1664  5  tho  tobacconists 
all  eacaptHl  the  scourge,  but  that  would  not  bo  a 
reasonable  excuse  for  a  person  nr  people  to  use 
tho  weed  when  there  was  no  plague  about.  It 
is  well  known  that  smoko  is  a  preventive,  in  a 
measure  at  least,  of  contagious  diseases,  aud  tho 
Ijondoners  at  tho  time  named  used  fumigation 
with  good  effect.  But  whether  the  smoke  from 
burning  tobacco  is  any  more  efficacious  than  that 
from  other  weeds  or  from  wood  is  a  question  not 
as  yet  fully  decided. 
Florist. — Double  tuberoses  frequently  revert 
back  to  their  single  form.  This  usually  occurs*' 
when  the  tubers  are  planted  in  a  poor  soil,  or  in 
seasons  of  .severe  droiiglit,  but  tlie  yoimg  offsots 
from  such  bulbs  will  iiroduco  double  (lowers  if 
given  sufficiently  stimulating  manures.  The  sin¬ 
gle  ffowor  is  the  natural  one,  the  double  having 
been  produced  by  high  culture. 
Inquirer. — We  have  often  seen  notices  in  the 
Wostorn  papers  of  a  fruit  called  “Holanum,  or 
Nightshade  Berrios,”  but  iu  none  of  them  was 
the  Bcieutilic  name  of  tho  plant  given.  Now,  the 
name  “Solanum  BoiTy"  may  bo  appropriately 
applied  to  the  fniit  of  any  of  the  hundred 
species  of  Solanaceie,  among  which  arc  the  pota¬ 
to,  tomato,  egg-plant,  Jerusalem  cherry,  pep¬ 
pers,  and  so  on  almost  without  end.  Wo  sup¬ 
pose,  however,  that  tho  plant  to  which  tho  cor¬ 
respondents  of  our  Western  contemporaries  refer 
is  some  ono  of  the  half-dozou  or  more  species  of 
Physalis,  or  Ground  Cherry.  Tho  old  Physalis 
Alkekengi,  or  Strawben-y  Tomato,  which  was  in- 
ti'oduced  here  from  Europe  many  years  since, 
has  hail  some  reputation  as  an  edible  fruit,  and 
tlie  plants  have  run  wild  in  some  localities.  The 
P.  tiscosa,  or  Clammy  Ground  Cherry,  grows 
wild  all  over  tho  Western  and  Eastern  States,  the 
borricB  being  yellow  and  somewhat  clammy  when 
ripe.  It  is  a  sweetish  fruit,  frequently  eaten  by 
ohildroQ,  and  is  harmless.  Perhaps  this  is  tho 
Solanum’’  BO  much  talked  of  ;  but  wo  can  only 
guess  at  it,  because  there  are  a  half-dozen  other 
species  with  somewhat  similar  fruit.

W. — What  is  the  differonc©  between  Pelar¬ 
goniums  aud  Goraniums?  Are  they  so  mixed 
up  that  the  one  cannot  bo  determined  from  the 
other  by  hybridization?  Ans, — No,  they  ai-o  not 
mixed  up  by  hybridization,  aud  it  is  tho  fault  of 
catalogues  that  tills  ambiguity  exists.  We  gave 
the  distinctions  in  an  ai’ticle  which  will  be  found 
in  our  issue  of  May  8,  1875,  and  to  which  W.  is
