Briggs & Brother, The Rochester 1
Florists.
Wo print on our eighth page
to-day an extract from advance
sheets of Briggs & Brother’s
Quarterly for January, on the
subject of “Parlor and Window
Gardening,” a topic that is en
grossing more general and deser
ved attention. The coming
Quarterly for Januury will be one
of the most brilliant works of the
kind e'ter issued in this country
or in Europe. The cover will be
illuminated in blue and gold, ,
the Goddess Flora being in the !
foregiound. What must be the
extent of a business which pub
lishes hundaeds of thousands of
costly illustrated magazines,
more than that number of superb '
Chromos or flowers, jobs its
Seeds to between seventeen and
eighteen thousand dealers in the
country to sell at retail, requires
over ten millions bags for one
season’s trade, and in the busy
season sends off from two to three
tons of matter per day! All this
by one firm in Rochester, N. A .
But our readers are quite familiar
with this old firm, having read
their advertisements published in
this paper as year ago. Many of
them purchaed their Seeds and*
Bull s direct from the firm of
Briggs & Brother, Rocbesthr,
N. Y., and having received sat
isfaction many will do it again
Send twenty-five cents and se
cure the Quarterlies. Sedalia
(Mo) Opinion.
Transplanting in the Night.
A gentleman, anxious to ascer
tain the effect or transplanting at
night, instead of by day, made an
experiment with the following
result:
He transplanted ten cherry
trees while in bloom, commen
cing at four o’clock in the after
noon, planting one each hour un
til one o’clock in the morning.
Those transplanted during the
daylight shed their blossoms, pro
ducing little or no fruit, while
those planted in the dark main
tained their condition fully. He
did the same with ten dwarf-trees,
after the fruit was one-third
grown. Those transplanted du
ring the day shed their fruit:
those transplanted during the
night perfected their crop, and
showed no injury from having been removed.
With each of these he removed some earth
with the roots. The iu :ident is fully
vouched for; and if a few more similar ex
periments produce a like result, it will be a
strong argument to horticulturists, etc., to
do such work at night.— BesC rn Rural.
The Cuban Republic .—Col. Juan
Maceias. English Minister of Cuba, has gone
to Washington where he will visit the
President and Secretary Fish to explain
the existing feeling in England about Cu
ban matters. It is stated that many prom
inent officials of Great Britain requested
Maccias to make this visit.
Indemnifying Slave Owners.—The
committee on the abolition oi slavery in
Porto Rico has declared in favor of gran
ting the owners an average indemnity of
$250 pc slave. And yet the Spanish
Government utakes no especial pretentions
to being a government of “moral ideas - ’’
The colored people are t< have an excur
sion to witness the inauguration of Gen
eral Grant on the 4th of Mardt. Charles
ton, Columbia, Wilmington and Goldsooro
are to be the starting points on March 2d,
On their return they will probably scatter
the small-pox round like rip.
A Bunion letter says that the German
Government are about to purchase the
I‘ortugues settlement in Delarge Bay, in
Southern Africa, with a view to colonizing
vmigranU there.
A N t \v Amusement.— The latest social
amusement wi.h the young ladies al road,
says an exchange, is to till a milk pan half
full of molasses and then put a silver half
dollar in it and give it to the first young
man who takes it out with his teeth. The
game is said to be very amusing, and we (
advi.-e the young ladies of America to try
it. Os course the young gentlemen are}
expected to f urnish the coin and molasses. <
A candy pulling a ways follows tin. beauti
ful game, and there is generally enough
molasses left to furni-h candy for all those j
who wish. i
