ANSWEES  TO  OOEEESPONDENTS, 
Note. — All  letlers  of  inquiry  must  ue  accom¬ 
panied  with  the  name  and  ai'ulrrsit  of  the  writer. 
Tt  i.‘>  seldom  loe  can  name  plants  from  leanes 
or  twigs  aloTie.  The  flower  is  generally  indis- 
pmsable. 
I),  ft.  K. — Wo  would  advise  yon  to  advcrtiso  in 
tho  liuuAL  New-Youkeii  for  a  farm,  stating  tho 
number  of  ncr«a  and  other  particulars,  as  given 
in  your  letter  of  inquiry.  We  prosuipo  just  tho 
kind  of  farm  dosiiod  uoiild  bo  found  in  the  way 
named. 
S,  li.  P.— Tho  grapo  loaves  sent  show  no  signs 
of  doprodatious  by  tho  I’hylloxera,  but  havo  boon 
badly  infested  with  what  aro  called  “  Thrip.” 
Tho  phyllo.'ccra.  when  it  attacks  tho  loaves, 
eausos  small  escrosconces  or  warts,  which  are 
tho  temporary  habitations  of  tho  insect,  Tho 
root  form  of  this  post  eausos  small  warts  on  tho 
smaller  rootlots,  provonting  the  froo  flow  of  sap, 
which  of  course  clioolc*  tho  gi'owth  and  ovontually 
kills  tho  vine,  uriloss  it  is  of  a  very  vigorous  sort 
and  capable  of  resisting  tho  attacks  of  the  post. 
Ganlener, — Stolon,  cucumber  and  squash  seed 
will  remain  good  for  several  years  if  kept  in  a 
dry  place.  Some  gardeners  say  that  melon  seed 
aro  bettor  for  keeping  several  years,  as  it  is  said 
they  produce  a  loss  vigorous  vino  but  bettor 
llavored  fruit. 
Toina. — Tho  round,  whitish  balls  found  when 
jilowing,  and  of  which  you  send  specimens,  aro 
a  species  of  mushroom,  or  as  gonorally  tormed. 
Puff-balls.  Tho  particular  species  cannot  bo  do- 
torminod  from  undovelopod  or  half-grown  speci- 
mouH,  and  thoso  dried  hard,  as  in  tho  case  of 
those  sent  us. 
liunkingham. — Tho  handsome  gras.s  with  ar¬ 
row  -  head  -  shaped  spikes  is  commoidy  called 
Meadow  Grass,  but  its  botaiiioal  name  is  JCni- 
grostis  po(eovli's.  It  is  not  considered  to  possess 
any  agricultural  value,  but  is  found  in  waste 
places  and  sometimes  in  cultivated  grounds. 
yioriiUi, — Tho  brilliant  greouish  boetlo  with 
bronze  colored  tliora.v,  and  a  long  slender 
recurved  liorti  spiinging  from  tho  top  of  tlic 
head,  extemling  backward,  nearly  or  quite  a  half 
inch  is  the  inalo  of  Phaneus  vnrnifex  a  very 
oommcui  scavenger  beotlo.  It  Is  found  more  or 
less  common  from  New  Jersey  to  Florida. 
There  arc  a  number  of  species  of  the  rhaiu-us 
inhabiting  tho  United  KtattiS,  but  the  one  named 
above  is  tho  only  one  of  ihe  mimher  fontid  in  the 
more  Northern  Btates.  A  dark  hrowrj  specios 
J‘,  triangularis  is  very  eotnmon  tluoiighout 
Tc-xas.  They  aro  considered  henelichil,  as  their 
food  consists  mai/dy  of  tho  excrement  of  tho 
larger  animals. 
•A  C.  Allen,  ViTium,  Vennont — Inclosed  I 
send  you  llowor  and  loaves  of  a  jdant  growing  in 
my  garden,  which  is  hero  called  tiomfrey.  Is  it 
tho  common  Goinfroy  described  In  tho  IIubau  of 
Kept.  9.  Ank.  — Uis. 
A.  G,  Pope,  Jiinghamplon,  W.  T.,  Hopt.  16. — 
My  nephew  brought  me  a  plant,  to-day,  in  full 
bloom  which  puzzled  mo  to  give  a  iiamo.  It  Ijo- 
longs  to  tho  same  class  as  the  weed  commonly 
called  “(Jliecses”  from  the  .see<l  vessel  which 
resembles  a  very  small  Cottage  or  Dutch  Cheese. 
Tho  llower  howovor,  is  very  largo  measuring  full 
1%  inches ;  livo  petaled  hoart-sUapo<l  veined 
with  a  darker  HUa<!e  than  the  body  color  which 
is  a  pale  redish  jmrple  and  is  when  on  tho  ijiant 
a  very  showy  llower.  A  name  would  bo  dcsirablo 
through  tho  answer  to  correspondents.  An«. — 
It  is  perhaps  Malna  syloestris — It  is  certainly  a 
MaJva — but  we  cannot  dotermino  tho  specios 
positively  without  a  (lower  and  leaf.  Vou  send 
a  Howor  but  it  is  pasbsil  upon  tho  i)aper  and  tho 
only  thing  that  wo  can  ascertain  by  it  is  that  it 
has  dve  petals. 
Subscriber  ”  wishes  to  know  of  a  remedy  for 
catarrh.  Several  of  onr  acqnalntaneos  havo 
b<ien  benefited  by  tho  use  of  water  forced  up  one 
nostril  and  tlirough  tlm  other  in  a  constant 
stream  for  live  nuuutos  at  a  timo  or  as  long  as  it 
can  bo  borne.  A  (piart  bottle  is  filled  witli 
water  either  fresh  or  salt  as  preferred.  Ono 
end  of  a  rubber  tube  is  connoeted  with  it,  the 
other  applied  to  the  nostril.  The  l)ottlo  is  then 
held  or  placed  above  the  lioad  higher  or  lower  as 
we  desiro  tho  current  more  or  less  strong.  This 
is  rocommondod  by  many  eminent  physicians. 
The  api)aratus  is  sold  at  a  small  price  by  most 
druggists. 
Catarrh  is  an  inflammation  of  the  mucous 
membrano  and  is  callotl  coryza,  laryngitis  or 
bronchitis  as  the  nose,  larj’ux  or  bronchial  tubes 
are  affected.  Coryza  is.  wo  believe,  Incurablo 
except  by  a  permanent  or  long-continued  change 
of  air ;  and  wo  also  believe  that  the  snuffs  and 
most  other  catarrh  modicines  in  vogue  are  iKtsi- 
tively  harmful.  “  Bubscribor  ”  also  wLslios  to 
know  if  wc  can  give  any  information  about  eiu- 
ployinont  for  women,  teaching  and  sewing  being 
injurious  to  her  health.  Having  no  acipiaintanco 
with  oiu’  corresiKindent,  wo  do  not  think  of  any 
employment  which  would  not  in  all  probability 
have  occurred  to  her. 
Tiivalid  asks  our  opinion  as  to  tho  healtlifid- 
ness  of  various  kinds  of  food.  Sho  disagrees 
with  ]Mr.  Peck  in  ids  qualified  advocacy  of  pork 
as  a  healthful  food  ami  advocates  “an  exclu¬ 
sively  vogetablo  diet."
