Autumn Planting of Trees.
Even in the same localities there exists the
greatest diversity of opinion respecting the
propriety and impropriety ofautunm planting.
Some say that they have never succeeded in
the tal!—others, that they have never failed.
Our own opinion is that, even as far north as
this, (43 north latitude.) all hardy trees are
transplanted with the greatest safety 1:1 the fall
—provided it he done early, say the middle
and latter end of October. There may be cir
cumstances. such as damp ground and very
exposed situations, that would render spring
planting advisable, hut these are exceptions.
Mr. E. C. Frost, of Catharine Ch’-mung
Cos., an experienced grower, says in the Sep
tember number ofthe Cultivator. *• My ex
perience has confirmed me in the opinion that,
in our latitude, fall planting for the peach is
better than spring ifset on dry ground and they
should be placed on no other. On the sth, 6th,
Bth and 9th ot November last, I set in the or
chard one thousand live hundred worked or
budded peach trees ; and now. on examining
them, find that all are alive but ten, and not
only alive but making a good growth, so that
the rows can be seen half a mile.” He adds:—
“I have six hundred peach trees which have
been m the orchard from three to five years,
the most of which have been transplanted in
the fall with success equal to those set last
autumn.” Our own practice is to transplant
.ill we can in the fall not, because we cousid
der it the only safe season, but because we
have more leisure then than we ever have in
the spring. We hold that there is no necessi
ty lor failure either in spring or fall.
Late last fall, after we had supposed busi
ness closed, we set some men, for the sake of
employing them, to trench a piece of ground
we intended lor dwarf pears. The weather
kept open till it was completed, and we plant
ed the trees, some 60 or so, quite contrary to
our expectations. It was then about the sec
ond week in December. The trees were
yearling buds, on quince stocks; they were cut
back till within a loot to 18 inches of the stock
and planted, and not a failure occurred in the
60, and all have grown from two to lour feet
this season and are now fine bushy plants.—
Some that we planted last spring have not
grown with half the vigor.
On the 25th of April last we transplanted
some 12 or 14 cherry trees, after the leaves
were an inch long. Not one died ; but on the
contrary we can measure on every one of
them 2to 3 feet of growth They .were
cut back properly, planted well, and kept as
they ought all summer. Here as two ex
treme cases, and both successful.
Now fall planting may be commenced at
any moment with trees that have quit grow
ing, an 1 show a good, plump, perfect terminal
bud. If the the leaves are not removed Ly
frost, they should be cut off the moment the
tree is dug. or before it—as if left on. they will
cause the tree to shrivel ruinously. The best
method of supporting fall planted trees is to
throw up a cone of earth around them 12 or
18 inches high, according to the size of the
tree. This prevents bo h frosts and winds from
acting injuriously on the tree. The earth can
be leveled down again as soon as the ground
thaws in the spring.
A certain amount of pruning, or shortning
back the top and branches of trees, is in disport
sably necessary in transplanting. In the case
offull planting this pruning may be deferred
till spring—particularly with peach trees —but
it must not be neglected. We believe that
vast numbers of trees are lost for the lack of
this shortening of limbs when planted; and
particularly peach trees that usually have
larger heads than other trees, and therefore
require a greater amount of cutting. Every
cultivator ol any experience knows how much
more certainly, quickly and vigorously a tree
will start in the spring, that, has been shorten
ed or cut back, than the one that has been
planted entire. The balance of a tree is de
stroyed in digging it, for it is impossible to re
move trees without depriving them of some
portion of their roots —or, if the roots are not
cut off - , many will perish in the removal. The
balance must be restored before the tree cart
grow vigorously, and this can best be done by
removing a part ofthe top corresponding with
with the loss of the roots. — Gencsse Farmer.
Perpetual Roses.
The following which we copy from the
Horticulturist, giving directions for the culti
vation of the perpetual rose, will be interest
ing to the lovers of Flora, in this, one of her
most beautiful and attracting forms :
Many cultivators of this fine new class of
roses “ waste its sweetness ” by allowing it to
carryall its blossoms in the month of June.
Now to have perpetual roses fully enjoyed,
it should not be allowed to bloom at all ni the
rose season. Roses are so common then that
it is not at all prized ; while blooming from
mid-summer to November, it is highly prized
by all persons.
The way I persue to grow it in perfection is
to pinch out. as soon as visible, every blos-om
bud that appeared at the first crop, say from
the middle of April to the middle of June.
This reserves all the strength of ti e plant for
the alter bloom and accordingly I have such
clusters of roses in July, August, September,
and October, as those who have not tried this
stopping system can have no idea of. La Heine,
Madame Luffiy, Compte do Parris, and the
Dutchess of Sutherland are particularly su
perb varieties under this treatment. Indeed,
they can be recommended as among The best
of perpetuals. . ,
Indian Corn.
Indian Corn is an ancient, well known, and
indispensable production of nature. It con
sists ol‘a number of varieties which are thought
to owe their distinctive characU rs to the actu
al modifications of climate soli, and culture,
rather titan to any original differences. When
due regard is paid to the varieties, it may be
coti-idered a sure crop in almost every portion
ol the habitable.globe. between the lit; uric of
43° North and a corresponding parallel .South.
Its principal culture is confined lo the United
States. Mexico the West Indies, and most of
the States of South America. It is also cul
tivated with success in Southern Europe gen
erally. It is likewise found to thrive ii India
China, Japan, Australia, the Sandwich is
lands, groups of the yYzores, Maderiu. the
Canaries, as well as other ocean isle.-. Rou
lin, Humbolt, Bonpland and others, have no
ticed the plant in its indigenous state in
America, and hence have concluded that it
was first derived from this country. All the
early historians, both of North and South
America, give the shortest testimony that
this grain is of American origin, and speak of
it as having constituted a great part of the
food of the Indians, from time immemorial. —
Mr. Schoolcraft in a late report, says it is
conceded on ali hands, that it is a tropical, or
at least a Southern plant. He remarks, that
it was not known in Europe before the discov
ery of'this country, and that we learned the
mode of cultivation from the Indians, and not
they from us. It was cultivated by the Iro
quois in fields sufficiently large to entitle them
to the name of agriculturists ; and was un
doubtedly highly praised by them as an essen
tial article of support. Mr. Schoolcralt state#
that the warriors of the six Nations were in
the habit of undertaking journeys of thousands
of miles in extent, carrying no other food than
a little meal from pounded corn, relying on
the forest game for meat. One table-spoon
ful of this meal mixed with a little ugar and
wafer, will sustain a warrior for twenty-four
hours, without moat. Maize contains less
nutritive matter than wheat, barley or oats.
VOL. XXVI.—No. 33.
j but more than either rice or potatoes. la
fact, it has about three and a half taueo the
quantity of nutritive jnatter found in potatoes.
; a much larger proportion of starch, and less
water. The proportion of oil found in corn,
as lar as it has been examined, varies, from
i an entire absence to 11 percent according to
the varieties employed. Oily Corn makes a
dry kind of bread, and is not sufficiently ad
hesive to rise well without ail admixture of rye
or other flour.
The varieties of Indian Corn are very nu
merous, exhibiting every grade of size, color
and conformation, between the shrubby reqd
; that grows on the shores of Lake Superior to
j the gigantic stalks of the Ohio Valley; the
liny ears with flat cl >* -clinging grains of Ca
iitad a; the brilliant, rounded little Pearl or the
bright red grains ami white cob of the eight
rowed haematite, to the swelling ears of the
large white and yellow Gourd-seed of the
South. There are II principal varieties cul
| tiyuted in the United States, which may be
i distinguished by the nu no. r of ro.vs of grains
! on the cob and the color, shape or size of the
! kernels.
Facts in Finning.
The action of roots, and that of leaves are
reciprocal. Ifyou diminish the quantity of
foliage you will proportionally lessen the in
crease of roots it iUU represent the quantity
I ot roots made by a tree with all its foliage,
] then 50 will represent the quantity of roots
, formed by a tree similar to the other in every
I respect, except in having the production of
i foliage repressed, by whatever means, to the
extent of one half. You will therefore per-
I reive that by summer pruning, both roots
land tops are equally reduced, and that what
j may he termed the balance of power between
| these is still maintained. On timcoiithir, if
you prune only in waiter, the roots are in con
se juence but little adectel their increase for
the season having been completed in the
previous summer ; and in the following season
the whole amount of force exerted by the full
complement of roots is brought to bear on a
: top limited by winter pruning and this force
! is evinced by over luxuriance, which some
I remedy by root pruning. With regard to
j young spray springing from the ends of pre
viously-shortened shoots it may be cut back
! to two eyes in all cases. — Lindley.

Recovered Cake.
A singular accident occurred on the Mich
igan Central Rati Way it became necessa
ry to ury gr If mbankment of fif
teen iect an.'. • low yiece of ground
containing aboui iu > acres nearly dry enough
for pfow-land. When they had progressed
with the grading lor some distance, it became
too heavy for the soil to support, the crust of
the earth broke iu, and the embankment sunk
down into secenty-nine feel of water ! It ap
pears that the piece ol ground had been a lake,
but had collected a soil of roots peat, muck,
&c.. on its surface, apparently from ten to
fifteen feet thick, which had become harden
ed and dry enough lor farm purposes. Mr.
Brooks thought it would nave supported an
embankment of rive feet thickness, and that if
it had not been necessary for them to have
one much heavier, if would have supported
the road, and the fact might never have been
discovered that it rested on the bottom of a
lake. — N. Y. Star.
llaze! Eyes.
Major Noah says that a hazel eye inspires
at first a Platonic sentiment, which gradually
hut surely expands, and emerges into love as
securely i'oundeJ a>t'ie rock of Gibraltar. A
woman with a haz 1 eye never elopes Irorn her
hnsband. never chats scandal never sacrifices
her husband’s comiort to her own never finds
fault, never talks too much or too little, always
is an entertaining, intellectual, agreeable and
lovely creature. We never knew but one
uninteresting and unaniiable woman with a
hazel eye. and she had a nose winch looked, as
the Yankee says like the little cud nothing
whitled down to a point.”
