224 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. ■ i Recipes for Lemon Pies. —One large, fresh lemon, grated fine—the pulp rinced in half a tumbler of water —yelks of 4 eggs, beaten thor oughly— 6 tablespoonfuls of sugar—l table spoonful of Hour, stirred with the eggs—2 table spoonfuls melted butter, all well beaten togeth er—one crust. Bake until done. Then take the whites of 4 eggs, with 3 tablespoonfuls of sugar, well beaten—spread smoothly on pie— return to the over until slightly browned, Or, one lemoD, one teacup of sugar, one teacup of sweet cream well stirred. Bake with two crusts. Please try them.— [Country Gentleman. —— 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. —■ * A Splendid Rose-Show. —lt is a very splen did sight, in a green-house or conservatory, to 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. Where the blush, white and yellow varieties could be, if so desired, inserted upon one stalk, the whole, when in flower, would have an ele n SOTPX&KMJ BXSI.II JUTO yXXBSIUK. gant effect as the weight of the flowers would naturally give the whole plant a pendulous habit —— 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, squeeze it dry, lay it on the shelf, sprinkle sugar on it, and when the ants collect, throw the sponge into hot water. — Lemon Pie.—The juice of four lemons, six so da crackers rolled fine, four tea-cups of water, three tea-cups of sugar.

HALL, 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.

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.
