SATURDAY, DEC. 17, 1859.
TO CORRESPONDENTS.
r W.W. H —Your favor with inquiries in regard
to lilies, has just been received. The flowers eu
f closed were too much injured for us to make any
thing of. Your descriptions seem to indicate
varieties of the Amaryllis, llulbs of the Gigantic ,
Lily we believe are still very dear. The seeds
f we find offered in the catalogue of B. K. Bliss,
Springfield. Mass., who has the bulbs of the oth
er kinds dosired. They can also be obtained of
\ J. M. Thorbum & Co., New York, and we pre
sume your nearest seedsman would get them for
f you.
R. S. 0.. Tuscoloosa, Ala.—Thanks for your
I kind note aud its contents. Wc shall try the
* seeds.

THE ROSE
[ (oosTuro.)
Pruning.— Few things in Rose culture are more j
' necessary than proper pruning; but owing to the
great number and diverse habits of its cultivated J
i varieties, there is some difficulty in doing it al
ways with success. Indeed, varieties of first
rate merit arc sometimes considered worthless ;
j from improper pruning.
All roses should be closely pruned at trans- i
f planting, to restore the balance of the plant. In j
taking up, the roots have been more or less mu
tilated, and most of the fibrous ones destroyed: j
lienee the remainder will not be able to support
all the branches, and the whole plant would be
weakened and very likely perish. If a variety
of bushy habit, many of the central shoots must
be taken out and the rest shortened to two or
three eyes. Thrco or four strong shoots, headed
back to three buds on the shoot, are better than
to leave more. 'When each of these eyes throws
j and shoots, these branches also should be short
ened in, removing entirely the weaker branches
whore the bush is crowded, until in this way a
bush of symmetric habit is formed,
i Besides the pruning at transplanting and the
after pruning to keep tho bush symmetric, Roses
t require one or more primings annually, that they
may flower in greater perfection. In general,
all the large tine blooms are produced from new
wood, and in the ever-blooming, and rcmontan t
varieties it is only on the young shoots that
blooms can be expected: hence in pruning these
sorts, we remove all the old wood possible. The
t young wood also should be severely shortened
in, that the sap, being confined to fewer chan
nels, may flow with the greater force into and
. fully nourish and developc tho remaining blooms.
Should an abundant bloom be desired without
j much regard to the shape o p tho flower, wo
merely take out the weak shoots and those in
i the way of each other, shortening in a little the
strong wood, and each bud loft will produce a
!> flower. Bushes thus pruned will bloom most
» freely and be very Showy in tho blossoming sea
* son, but the flowers themselves will be defective
in size and form. But if large, bold, perfect slow
s ers are desired, cut out all tho weak shoots and
. shorten in all tho strong growth of the last year
V to two eyes. Where the rose blooms in clusters,
in addition to this pruning, remove many of the
buds in each cluster as soon as they appear.
The less buds left to blossom, the finer will be
( each individual bloom.
d As before intimated, different varieties require
different modes of pruning. For most kinds of
L ever blooming roses the above directions will ap_
ply, but Cloth of Gold will not bloom as well
if too closely pruned. To blossom freely, its
ft shoots must be thinned, where in each other’s
f way, and the remainder not much shortened.
4 The Banksiou roses, Persian Yellow, Fortune’s
Yellow, all the Moss roses (except remontants)
L produce all their flowers on wood of the preced
ing year. The number of shoots of tliese varie-
ties must be diminished by taking out the older
ones, and the rest left at full length. Moss roses
jf especially if pruned low, never do well,
f Pillar and climbing roses, require little more
than a careful thinning out of the main shoots.
i and a slight shortening in of the young side
branches.
> All perfectly hardy roses may be pruned in
L autumn, to which the only' objection is that it
* throws them earlier into bloom in the spriug
and hence they sometimes suffer from spring,
frosts. On this account it is well merely to thin
out the bushes at this season and defer the sliort
cning in, until the general pruning of the less
hardy kinds, the last of February or early' in
March, between the time of the last severe frost 8
b and the commencement of the new growth. If the
buds appear to have been left thick, another
4 slight shortening of the branches should be giv
en before they come into flower. After bloom-
L ing, the decaying blooms should be removed and
another slight pruning be given to all the ever
} blooming and remontant varieties. If a rose
* bush is permitted to seed freely, it is much
* weakened and will flower less freely.

NATIVE GRAPES REFERRED TO THEIR
SPECIES.
From a Paper on Grapes, read before the Aiken
(S. C.) Vine-growing and Horticultural associa
tion, Sept. 18th, 1559, by 11. W. Itavenel, Esq.,
and published in the Farmer and Planter , of S.C,
we quote the following extract. In speaking of
the native grapes, he says:
“ I am not aware of any attempt to classify
these indigenous varieties and trace them to their
proper parentage to one of the four native spe
cies; nor perhaps has the time arrived yet when
it can be properly done from the want of general
dissemination and the difficulty of obtaining many
of the latest varieties. I will, however, give an
enumeraticn of our four American species with
the varieties of each so far as our present infor
mation permits."
If Mr. R. will examine the Florist for 1853, he
will lind what perhaps may be called such an
attempt made by Major LeContc. If he will look
in the columns of the Horticulturist or Southern
Cultivator for the year 1857, he will find, in a
report to the Georgia Pomological Society, an
other attempt of this kind. As we happen to
know that the latter article cost a good deal of |
time, observation and research, its author per- '
haps is entitled to some credit as a pioneer in the
same path, especially as Mr. R. seems to have
come to almost exactly the same conclusions
that wore reached by his predecessor.
The coincidence is, indeed, a little remarkable,
but we believe that whatever credit there may
be, is in such cases generally awarded to the
fiist observers, unless new’ facts are developed
by those who follow them. In his future re
searches perhaps it will be as well for Mr. R. to
take a little pains to ascertain and acknowledge
what has already been done by predecessors in
the same department. Such courtesy they may
justly claim.

How to Keep Milk. — I never argue this
question with man or woman, if they do not
know that milk can be kept with all the
cream in it, as it is when first drawn from the
cows: but I will tell you how it is done. You
all know that if you can prevent the cream from
rising, the milk will be more healthy and palata
ble, with the particles of cream mixed through
it, than skim milk, or than mdk fresh from the
cow, with the fresh taste and odor. To prepare
milk in this way, take it while warm irom the
cow’, set it in a cool place, and stir it continually
until the animal heat is out, and no cream will
rise after that operation. Try it, and see how
much it will be improved for family use.—[A. B.
Dickinson, in Country Gentleman.
To Makr Creak jCiieese. —Take a quart of
cream, or, if not desired very rich, add thereto
one pint of new milk; warm it in hot water till
it is about the heat of milk from the cow; add a
small quantity of rennet (a table-spoonful is suf
ficient); let it stand till tliipk, then break it
slightly with a spoon, and place it in a frame in
which you have previously put a line canvass
cloth; press it slightly with a weight, let it stand
a few hours, and then put a finer cloth in the
frame; a little powdered salt may be put over
tho cloth. It will be fit for use in a day or two.

PROSPECTUS
OF
THE NEW YORK LEDGER
A S an indication of the popularity of the LEDGER,
FSI. wc need only state the simple, fact that its circula
tion is larger than that of any other ten literary papers
in the countin'. Its great success is owing to the fact
that its proprietor secures the best writers in the coun
try, and spares no expense in getting up the best fami
ly pater— a paper or high moral tone. The exalted rep
utation of its contributors, the practical and invariably
pure und healthy character of ail its articles, the care
which is taken that not even one offensive word shall ap
pear in its columns, and the superiority of its Tales and
(sketches, have gained for the New Yoke Ledger a po
sition that no literary paper has ever before reached.—
Wc feel, and always have felt, since the Ledger attained
its immeuse circulation, that a heavy responsibility rests
upon us, and have endeavored to discharge that respon
sibility conscientiously, feeling contidcnt that ultimate
ly we should receive the thanks of thousands and of tens
of thousands of families.
As to the future, we are at a loss what to say. We
E refer to perform rather than to promise. What we
avc heretofore dono is known to our readers; they
know what the Ledger has been and Is now, and must
therefore judge what It will be hereafter. We can only
say that among tho contributors to the Ledger arc
Edward Everett, Wm. C. Bryant,
Charles Dickens, Geo. I’. Morris.
Paul Morphy, X. P. Willis,
Hon. 11. ,1. Raymond. Anna Cora Ritchie.
Geo. D. Prentice, Fafny Fern,
.John G. Base, Mrs. Sigourney,
Syavanus Cobb, Jr.. Mrs. Soutiiworth.
Emersox Bennett, Marion llarlaxd,
W. K. Wallace, Alice Cary,
Carlos D. Stuart. Emma A. Brown,
Col. W. B. Dunlap. Sallie M. Bryan,
an«l many eminent Lawyers. Clergymen, Professors in
Colleges, and others, who write for the Ledger anony
mously. and that our complete arrangements arc such
that the current expenses of the Ledger are now, and
will constant!v be at the rate of over three hundred
thousand dollars per annum.
Facts like these carry with them more weight than
any comments that could be made, and comments will
therefore be dispensed with. As we have already inti
mated, we shall leave promising to those who prefer to
expend their force in that way, and content ourselves
with doing what we can to make the Ledger the most
interesting and instructive Family Paper in the world.
The New-Yokk Ledger is published every Saturday,
and sold at all the news-offices In every city and town
throughout the country; and is mailed to subscribers at
two dollars per aunum: two copies sent lor three dollars.

where it Is received, is only twenty-six cents a year.—
Canada subscribers must each send us twenty-six cents
in addition to the subscription price of the Ledger, to
pay’ the American postage.
.car Subscribers must write their addresses, including
the name of the place, county, and State in which they

rpHE subscriber having sold his interest in the Cotton
A (iin Factory in Augusta. has determined, before
acain locating liis business, to travel through a portion
of the Statcsof Georgia and South Carolina, with expe
rienced and competent workmen, to attend to all busi
ness in his line which may be confided to his hands. He
will repair Gins, put on new saws, new ribs, make new
brnshes. ami, in short, do all work of a like character,
uimu the plantation, in as go,*! a manner as it could be
done at the shop, thereby saving the i’lantcr the trouble
and expense of transportation.
This will also lie a rare opportunity for Planters to
learn the principle uj>on which Cotton Gins are con
structed. and how to use them to best advantage.
I repair and improve upon auv make of Gins where
there are any defects. Having devoted my exclusive at
tention for many years to Gin making and repairing, I
can guarantee as good work as can be done in any sec
tion of the country.
In Georgia, among others, l shall visit the Counties of
P.urke and Screven ; and in South Carolina, the Districts
of Beaufort, Barnwell. Orangeburg. Edgvfitdd, Biehland.
Newberry, Colleton. Abbeville and Sumpter. I have also
on hand a few new Gins of the best quality, which can
not fail to give full satisfaction.
My son, Geosoe W. Oglesby, who is also an expe

Dear Sir: Rhodes' Super-phosphate has been applied
by me this year, on a small scale, to both Com and Cot
ton. The result exceeded my expectation, althougn
the experiments, for many reasons, were not, and could
not be conducted with due caution ; yet 1 am entirely
satisfied that the growth of weed, in both instances, and
the fruit in corn and in the number of bolls of Cot
ton, were fully double the yield in the portions unma
nured, and this when only a tablespoonful of the Super
phosphate was applied as a top-dressing to each hill of
Corn, and a tea-spoonful to each stalk of Cotton—and the
last as late in the season as the 1-th of July. Some of
the Weed grew to nine feet high, with six feet branches,
covered with bolls, while the unmanured was not half so
good. It re my Intention next year to test it more folly.
Very respectfully.

it would have been greater. Up to date, the Cotton stands

NOTICE TO FARMERS & PLANTERS
THERE is great demand for a strong and permanent
•• Fertilizer,” and experience of late years has prov
en the ineflicleney 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,
wo have pleasure in calling attention to the valuable
comjioimd made at the Highlands. New Jersey, and en
titled the “NATIONAL FERTILIZER." suited to
staples of every section.
It Is composed of flush bones, finely ground, and thor
ougly dissolved by Sulphuric Acid, thus affording food in
ready form for assimilation to plant With these as con
stituting the basis for Phosphate <>f Lime, are then also
commingled large proportions of Marine Fish, King
Crabs, and other erastteea, yielding the properties Am
monia—as deposited by bireis of the Guano Islands. To
prevent escape of this volatile element 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 by 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
arc known to extract constantly from the land. Analy
ses and certificates establish the results of this manure.
Itis 30 percent less eost per ton than Peruvian Gnano,
but requires heavier application as a sure and lasting ren
ovator. The National Fertilizer fulfils the two-fold ob
ject of being stimulant to growth, and invigorator to
soil.
Mode of use: broadcast sowing—drilling—or deposit
ing in hills. It possesses bnt half the moisture of Guano,

IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS.
THE RICHMOND FACTORY, Richmond county,
Ga., continues to manufacture WOOLEN CLOTII
at 12>f 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 extens'ive 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 ns wool to
be made into cloth, can send it dirt v or clean. If washed,
it should be done in cold water, anil done thoroughly. If
sent dirty, we charge half cent per vard extra for wash
ing. Barry Wool is not objectionafde; 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 np in the turn received.
We would especially urge upon ottr 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.
