A.  Culbertso7i. — Tho  long,  slender,  piuki.sh- 
colorod  caterpillar  you  send  is  tlie  larva  of  some 
species  of  moth  belonging  to  the  Oeometridiy,, 
popularly  called  deoinetors  or  “  .span  vforuis." 
Tlioro  is  an  iinnienso  nuinlHir  of  species,  and  it 
would  scarcely  be  possible  in  the  present  state  of 
entomological  science  to  undertake  to  namo  them 
all  or  any  considerable  number  from  tho  larva  or 
caterinllar.  In  fact  tho  larvte  of  many  of  thorn 
are  unknown,  although  the  moths  or  perfect 
insects  liavo  boon  described  and  named.  Tho  one 
you  send  was  probably  feeding  on  the  loaves  of 
tho  rose-bush  when  found, 
Tho  fowls  known  as  Plymouth  Hocks  are  an 
American  breed  of  recent  origin  and  not  very 
widely  disseminated,  it  being  more  popular  in 
the  Ea.stern  States  than  elscwliero.  It  is  «up- 
])Oscd  to  have  been  prtxlucod  by  crossing  tho

It  is  claimed  that  tho  Piymoutli  Hooks  are  liardy, 
very  prolific  layer.s,  and  tho  liens  excollont  motii*

J).  P.  Haw.  Tlio  heads  of  Hermuda  Grass 
are  received,  but  we  can  find  no  seed  within  tlie 
clialf,  the  gr.’iin  being  false,  as  in  all  the  dozens 
of  specimens  lately  received  from  eorrespondents 
in  tlie  Koiitb.

Southern  ”  (Jrab  Grass,"  (f’anirum.  sanjuinnle) 
ail  annual  specios,  wliicli  seeds  freely  overy- 
whoro.  It  furnishes  a  vei7  fair  amount  of  food 
for  slock  lute  in  summer,  often  appearing  rpiite 
abundantly  in  grain  fields  and  old  pa8turc.s  dui"- 
iiig  tlio  dry  woatlior  of  July  and  August. 
H'm.  Mr/..  Wo  have  waited  Hoveral  weeks  for 
tho  arrival  of  that  “bird  or  some  other  thing,” 
mentioned  on  yonr  postal  canl,  but  it  lias  not 
arrived,  (kiiisutiueutly,  wo  caimot  give  tlio  de¬ 
sired  information. 
h.  H.  M. — Salt  may  be  sown  upon  grass  lands 
at  almost  any  season,  but  early  spring  or  at  tlio 
aiiiiroacli  of  fall  rains  is  tlio  usnal  time  of  ai)[)ly- 
ing.  (loarse  nr  line  salt  may  bo  used,  and  tliat 
wliicli  has  boon  used  for  packing  pork  and  llsli  is 
worth  as  much  fur  forliliziug  inirposes  as  that 
wliieh  comes  directly  from  tlio  salt  works.  In 
sowing  salt  upon  meadows  or  grain,  care  should 
ho  given  to  tho  distribution  of  it  over  the  enr- 
faee,  for  if  di'opjMjd  in  lai'go  lumiw,  it  will  do 
injury  to  tlie  plants.  Six  to  eight  bushels  is 
Hiillicioiit  jier  acre  for  oacli  dressing.  If  tlie 
salt  i.s  sown  just  previous  to  putting  in  grain  it 
will  answer  just  as  well  as  afterward.s,  and  there 
need  bo  no  fear  of  “burning”  as  when  sown 
njion  the  growing  plants ;  but  on  meadows  it 
must,  of  course,  be  scattered  over  them. 
Florist.  — Spinm  JajToniea  ( .Astilhe-lfoleia') 
is  excellent  for  forcing.  Dicentra  spectalntis 
also  forces  readily  witliout  any  particular  pre- 
jiaratiuii.  Among  slirubs,  Driilzia  gracilis, 
Weigrlas,  Won  hide  ndi'uns,  Jxahnias  may  bo  mon- 
tioued.  Pot  now. 
A/.  — Gneof  tlio  best  (or,  ratlier,  least  objec- 
tioDablo)  preparations  for  tho  liair  is  made  as 
follows:  Two-thirds  pure  castor-oil;  one-t Idl'd 
alcoliol,  perfumed  with  oil  of  rose,  ro-so-goraiii- 
uui  and  [latcliouly  -allowing  tliat  to  prcdoudii- 
ato  which  is  most  pleasing. 
Slrion,,  (traml  Ilapids,  jlftc/i.— Pampas  Grass 
is  readily  grown  from  seeds  and,  with  good  care, 
will  bloom  the  Uiii'il  year.  It  is  not  hardy  hero 
witliout  iH'otection  and  not  always  with. 
Ji.  U.,  I’a,  There  is  no  better  time  than  tho 
present  for  Iransplanting  the  Hwanip  A/sdoa  (d. 
nuiUflora,  and  vi.sv.osa')  and  tliere  are  few  showier 
plants  during  their  period  of  bloom.  Obseiwo 
the  conspienous,  iXiddisli,  scaly  buds  in  some 
iiurseiy  or  garden  and  you  will  recognize  them 
readily  in  the  woods. 
C.  O. — Wo  are  asked  if  tho  origin  of  the  ex¬ 
pression  “  the  most  unkiudost  cut  of  all  ”  U 
known. 
Axs. — It  occurs  in  Shakspearo,  but  we  cannot 
say  whether  ho  originated  the  plu-aso  or  not. 
Planter  wishes  to  know  if  ajiplo  and  pear  trees 
will  tlirive  as  well  in  sodded  as  in  cultivated 
ground  and  how  lai'ge  tho  holes  should  bo  dug  for 
trees  three  years  old  ?  Asa. — We  shcmld  prefer 
cultivated  ground.  Tho  size  of  the  holes  may  Is) 
detenniued  by  tho  quantity  of  soil  and  amount 
of  labor  at  his  disposal,  since  ho  need  not  fear 
making  them  too  largo.  Holes  fom'  feet  in  di¬ 
ameter  and  two  and  a  half  feot  deep  are  tho 
minimum  limit.  Even  thou  before  they  fruit, 
tlio  roots  will  bo  found  to  have  extended  consid¬ 
erably  beyond  tho  circumference. 
Neto  Yorker. — In  another  column  will  be  found 
our  views  as  to  the  pros  and  eons  of  spring  and 
fall  transplanting.  Hut  tliero  are  exceptions  to 
all  rules.  This  is  our  Contenuial  year  and  those 
who  have  not  planted  a  tree  or  trees  should  do 
so,  even  though  it  bo  tiecessary  to  build  a  glass 
house  over  them  and  hire  a  man  to  look  after 
them  during  tho  winter.
