240 HORTICULTURAL. , Wfl. N. UIIITK, Editor. 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. 4 DECIDUOUS SHRUBS. We undertook in our notes for the month, in j last week's issue to give our readers a list of de . sirablc shrubs.

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. i«i —i 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. THE GREAT - :FAMILY PAPER. - THE GREAT FAMILY PAPER. THE GREAT FAMILY PAPER. THE GREAT FAMILY PAPER. THE GREAT FAMILY PAPER. TAE GREAT FAMILY PAPER. 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. Any Postmaster sending eight subscribers. atsl 50 each, (which Is our lowest club rutc). and sending us $ 12, will be entitled to one copy free. Terms invariably in ad vance. The postage on the Ledger to any part of the United States, paid quarterly or yearly, In advance, at the office 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 reside, in a plain hand, so as to avoid mistakes. No subscriptions arc wanted from cities, large vil lages. or other places where news offices are pcrinanenty established. All communications must be addressed postage paid to ROBERT BONNER.

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.

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, and suffers less deterioration by carriage. Price S4O per Ton. of 2000 lbs, but up in strong bags of 200 poundseacb, or in new barrels, all stamped with Company's brand, and shipped to any order in the United States.
