POINCIANA GILLIESII.
This* beautiful deciduous shrub, so well adap
ted to our Southern gardens, is a native of Par
aguay, where it is found on the rich herders ot
rivers and swamps. The tribe to which it^ be
longs, is named in memory of Do Poinci, Gov
ernor of the Antilles, and belongs to the class
Decandriaof the Linnean system, and to the
natural order of Legumi nosa. It will grow al
most anywhere and stand our hottest sun with
impunity but it delights in rich and moist soil,
or, at least, a bountiful supply ot water. In
such a locality it will bloom constantly from the
beginning of May until arrested by frost, produ
cing large bunches of pale yellow flowers, with
very long, bright scarlet stamens. It is raised
from seed, and when sowed early in the Spring
in the open garden, will bloom and ripen its
seed the first summer. Its growth, when left to
itself, is apt to become a little straggling, which
however, is easily remedied by pruning. It
grows about eight feet high.
Another tree of this family, Poinciana regia, is
remarkable for its stately growth, (about forty
feet high) and for its bright, crimson scarlet flow
ers, but can probably not be raised north of 30 ~
north latitude. —[ Cotton Planter and Soil.

Chrysanthemum. —The Chrysanthemum is
now creating a sensation in winter Iloricultural
operations. The Temple Gardens (at London)
this season have been, as usual, visited by thou
sands of lovers and admirers of this flower.
Even as an out-of-door autumn bloomer for
the furnishing of vases or prominent bedsit has
no equal. We have seen different methods of
training and planting for effect, one of which
we will name—for round beds, where tall plants
aro needed for the centre, we have seen a tall
variety chosen, such as the “ Queen of England,
blueish, or if a yellow centre was required,
“Gluck,” and one shoot only permitted to grow
to its proper length and strength ; this is stopped
a few times 'to make a bushy top, and if the
flowers are intended for exhibition, they must •
bo thinned out in the same manner as Camellias.
This tall plant is planted in the centre of the
bed. Round this is planted a circle of a differ
ent color, and then others, until the bed is filled,
edging round with some of the Pomponos. It
is quite surprising to witness the improvement
made in their culture, as well as the improve
ment made in their form and shape. Some
blooms have been produced this season more
than five inches in diameter, and plants have
been shown, covered with flowers from the bot
tom to the top, which would have been attrac
tive even in the summer time. To procure fine
plants, some of the great growers commence
raising their young stock as early as November,
and keep progressively potting and training until
blooming time, used frequently in liquid manure-
I subjoin a list of some which seem general fa.
vorites, and which I have grown for a few sea
sons; they aro showy and good kinds; yellow
—“Gluck," “Annie Salton,” “Temple of Solo
mon,” and some of the yellow Pomponos.
“ Beauty of Versailles,” “ Chavan Damage” and
“London,"are very good and useful as interme
diate colors: for dark blooms, “ Madame Poggii”
and “ Bob," and “Brilliant;” for white, “ Defi
ance Duke” and “ Nancy de Ceremal,” with
“ Heroine,” “Queen,” and a very fine new one of
this season, called the “ Golden Queen of Eng
' land." I would recommend “Pearl,” “Etnella,”
and “ Model," to make a pretty selection, and
would form a pleasing assortment of dissimilar
blooms in character and color.—[ Gardeners'
Monthly. _ .

The Ailanthus. —That much abused and con
demned tree, the Ailanthus, finds an advocate in
the Philadelphia Bulletin, which says :
“The Ailanthus grows with such extraordi
nary rapidity that it is safe to say that it gives
more wood in one third of the time than any
tree generally used for fuel. And though it
grows so quickly it is firm, hard, strong and du
rable wood, nearly as valuable as locust, and
makiug excellent fuel. As for soil and culture,
it grows in the most dosolate sands of New Jer
sey like a young bay tree, a single wheelbarrow
load of loom to each tree being all the capital
which it requires to resist the most untoward in
fluences. It endures heat and cold, it will grow
where a blackberry vine would think twice be
fore it would sprout once, and is never touched
by insects. How many of our readers own
thousands of acres, now worthless ? Let them
plant Ailanthns, which grows easily from the
seed, and wait only ten years.”

Arrangement or Treks in Orchards. —lt
has frequently occurred to us that much laud is
wasted, which would be saved if the idea was
presented to the minds of farmers and garden
ers. It is in this way: If a farmer wishes to
plant an orchard, and wishes the trees to stand
any cortain distance apart, say thirty feet, the
usual practice is to plant the trees in rows thirty
feet apart, and the trees separated iu the rows
by the same distance, and formiug squares.
Now, if the above distance from tree to tree is
desired, and the trees are planted as above, one
acre will accommodate forty-nine trees thirty
feet apart in the rows, and a fraction over
forty-two feet diagonally; but if the rows are
twenty-six feet apart, and the trees planted
thirty feet apart in the rows, and the trees of
one row planted opposite the spaces of the next
row, the acre will accommodate fifty-six trees
thirty feet apart iu every direction. The same
principle holds good for cabbage aud other
plants, and for other desired distances.

——
Fruit and Fruit Trees. —Two of the best
farmers North communicate the manner in which
they secure good fruit. It is thus : They dig at
some distance from the body of some favorite
tree until they find a root, which they cut off.
The part disjointed from the tree is then turned
up so as to appear above the ground. It sends
forth shoots the first Mason, and bears, in a few
years, fruit precisely like that upon the parent
tree. Let those whose trees are decaying, or
who wish to increase good varieties, try, this ex
periment. It is but an hour’s work.

to have either the blush or yellow tea-rose bud
ded on any of the strong growing sorts, with a
stem perfectly straight, three or four feet in
height, ramifying with four or five lateral growths.

The Alabama State Fair—Was well attend
ed, and the exhibition was very creditable.
Nothing on the grounds-attracted more attention
it is said, than Mrs. Watson’s camels. These ill
shapen curiosities bid fair to be introduced into
our State, as there are several gentlemen, we
think, who are determined to try the experiment
of their employment in plantation work. The
prices range from two hundred to four hundred
dollars. The papers say,
Strawberries were exhibited, classed as “Ful
ler’s Seedlings,” which might very appropriate
ly be named the “ Ever-Bearing Strawberry,”
as it bears in the fall as well as in the spring.
Alabama has succeeded in accomplishing what
the North has, for years, been unsuccessfully
experimenting upon.
A large amount of stock and other things
were sold at auction, and also at private sale, at
good but very extravagant prices. Mrs. Watson
disposed of three of her camels to Mr. W. C.
Bibb, of Motgomery, and wo understood tliat_
other gentlemen were negotiating for the re
mainder of her stock.
A Remedy for Ants. —Dip a sponge in water,

THE above Fertilizer having been used largely in

over Peruvian Guano , orany other Fertilizer now in

It is cheaper.
It has no unpleasant smell.
It will not destroy seed by contact.
It Is tine powder, ready for application.
It will resist drought."
It will prevent or lessen rust.
It will cause earlier maturity.
It is a permanent manure, enriching the Soil.
It is guaranteed to be of uniform quality.
We subjoin an extract from a letter of A. L. Alexan
der, Esq. of Wilkes Co.:
Washington, 12 th Nov., 1859.
“1 like the result of my experiment with ‘Hoyt,’ and
my trial acres have attracted much attention. The Corn
has been gathered, and the ratio of manured to unma
nured, is as 25 to 11, or 190 to 44. In a favorable season,
it would have been greater. Up to date, the Cotton stands
as 518 to 127, bsing rather over 4to 1. When the Cot
ton is all in, I think it will be abyut 700 to 200.
Respectfully, Yours,

ORCHARD GRASS SEED.
CROP OF 1869.
F! ICE $5, per sack of two bushels. Warranted free
from the seeds of noxious weeds anil other impuri
ties.
In Upper Oeorgia. it succeeds best when sown about
the usual time of seeding oats.
One bushel of the seed should be used to an acre, and
to give it a start, 50 to 100 lbsof Peruvian Guano sown
broadcast to each acre, anil harrowed or brushed In.
As the seed is light, it can be sent at a reasonable cost
to any part of the Southern States in charge of Adams
& Co’s Express.
I have 40 acres seeded In 1853, and 60 acres seeded in
1858, and I have satisfied myself that for an upland pas
ture, it is the most valuable and reliable of ail the gross
es with which I have experimented during the lost ten
years. RICHARD PETERS.

NOTICE TO FARMERS & PLANTERS
r INHERE is great demand for a strong and permanent
X “ Fertilizer,” and experience of late years has prov
en the inefficiency of imported manures for securing
crops and renovating soils. To meet the wants of the
times, and give to exhausted lands of the Atlantic and
Gulf countries, a superior fertilizer- at moderate cost,
we have pleasure in calling attention to the valuable
com|>ound made at the Highlands, New Jersey, and en
titled the “NATIONAL FERTILIZER” suited to
staples of every section.
It is composed of fresh bones, finely ground, and tlior
ougly dissolved by Sulphuric Acid, thus affording food in
ready form for assimilation to plant. With these as con
stituting the basis for Phosphate of Lime, are then also
commingled large proportions of Marine Fish, King
Crabs, and other Crustacea, yielding the properties Am
monia—as deposited by birds of the Guano Islands. To
prevent escape of this volatile clement, a modicum of
Green Shell Marl is used. By virtue of this the ammonia
resulting from decomposed fish. Is at once fixed and laid
dormant, till by natural process it is set free, and grad
ually absorbed by vegetation as it progresses. With
three important essentials, Potash and Soda, as combined
with soluble Silica, are chemically manipulated, and the
entire mass is ultimately made tine, dry, and immediate
ly applicable to soil. The “National Fertilizer,” as
shown in Circulars, is so compounded bv change of these
and other valued ingredients, as to be suited in diversi
ties to any particular staple of the United States. The
Company's Works and Fisheries are very extensive, and
though their enterprise is but recently started, they have
a large and growing trade. They manufacture one Fer
tilizer for the Cereal Grains, Cotton. Vegetables. Ac., and
another specifically for Tobacco, and another for Sugar
Cane ; thus giving to plants those aliments peculiarly
adapted to them, and which, by rotation of crops, they
are known to extract qonstantly from the land. Analy
ses and certificates establish the results of this manure
It is 30 per cent less cost per ton than Peruvian Guano"
but requires heavier application as a sure and lasting ren
ovator. The National Fertilizer fulfils the two-fold ob
j®*| of being stimulant to growth, and invigorator to
Mode of use: broadcast sowing—drilling—or deposit
ing in hills. It possesses but half the moisture of Guano,
and suffers less deterioration by carriage.
Price S4O per Ton. of 2000 lbs, but up "in strong bags
or 200 pounds each, or in new barrels, all stamped with
Company s brand, and shipped to any order in the United
btates. Agents established in all the cities. A fair trial,
with discreet anil liberal attention, is solicited.

THE RICHMOND FACTORY, Richmond county,
Ga., continues to manufacture WOOLEN CLOTH
at 12X cents per yard for plain, and 16 for twills—finding
every material except the wool. The extensive and
constantly increasing patronage the Factory has enjoyed
for past years, assures the proprietors that the article of
Winter Clothing for negroes, made by them, has not been
surpassed by any cloth made North or South.
Recent extensive improvements, and others now being
erected, enable us to keep up the standard of the Goods,
and to secure an early delivery.
Planters, or others, who may wish to send us wool to
be made into cloth, can send it dirty or clean. If washed,
it should be done in cold water, and done thoroughly. If
sent dirty, we charge half cent per yard extra for wash
ing. Burry Wool Is n«t objectionable; the burs are re
moved by machinery. The name of the owner should be
marked upon every package sent
Wool sent by railroads in Georgia, Alabama, Tennes
see, or South Carolina, to the Augusta depot, with the
owner’s name, and “ Richmond Factory ” marked upon
it, will be regularly and promptly received, and the cloth,
when made, returned to the points directed. Each par
cel is made up in the turn received.
We would especially urge upon our patrons the great
necessity of sending in the wool as soon as clipped ; if
this rule is followed, the parties would always be sure of
having the cloth in ample time.

Agents in Augusta, Ga.
