I am more puzzled to get early radishes than any other article. Is it because I do not give them enough air! or that the seed is placed too near or too far from the glass! Bottom heat or not, they all ran to tops. Do set me right in this matter. (1).

Yon doubtless remember the beautiful effects produced in Germany by the Sophora Pendula. I want to know why this plant is so dear among us? the only one I ever could procure here of any size cost seven dollars I (2).

My brocoli plants all failed to head the past season, both in the open ground and when carefully housed under glass, and this was the case for five miles around me. Why! Shall those in the pits be left there for sprouts or removed to the open ground, and must they be stripped of their leaves! (3.) Tyro.

(1.) The want of air is the chief difficulty. It draws the stems up and prevents the growth of the roots. Keep near the glass, and as soon as the plants are fairly up, admit air at the top of the frame when the weather is mild enough. This point requires constant care in forcing.

(2). One of the most graceful of weeping trees, but rather difficult to propagate and generally dear, though seven dollars is a round price and the specimen ought to be extra fine. We hope nurserymen will give this charming tree more attention. It must be grafted or inarched on tall, stout stocks of the common Sophora.

(3). Probably owing to a late spring, or some other retarding cause in the early part of the season. We should not trouble with setting out again those that have failed to head in the pit. It would scarcely pay. It is a rather uncertain crop generally, in our warm summer climates.

Can you give me an answer in the March number, what can be done to prevent the blight of the buds of the Lamar que rose! Will any spring trimming prevent it?

Also, to prevent the falling of figs when about half grown. Nine-tenths of ours fall. The Boil is rich and thoroughly worked. Our trees 6tand in the vine border. (2.) A Baltimore Sub5SCRIBER.

It happens occasionally that some of the Noisette roses which produce their flowers, as Lamarque, in very large clusters, seem not to possess sufficient force or vigor to develop all their buds fully. It occurs frequently in very cool and wet weather, and in very dry and hot weather. The old double yellow is more affected this way than any other variety we know. It is possible that thinning out the clusters of buds may enable the others to open better.

(2). Can they suffer from drouth at the roots? or are they forced into an excessive growth ? Either cause would be sufficient to make the fruit drop prematurely. We experience no such difficulty here, either from plants in pots or in the garden in common soil.

Does the cherry on Mahaleb prove entirely dwarf? How old are the oldest trees in this country, and how large ? I have trees three years old but they are not very dwarfish for their age. At what age do they commence bearing full crops! J. R. - Hagerstown, Md.

The Dukes and Morellos are quite dwarfish on the Mahaleb, but the Hearts and Bigar-reau* grow vigorously for several years. All require cutting back regularly to keep them in a dwarf form. They commence bearing at three and four years old, if on dry, light, and warm soil.

(0. A., Paris, 0. W.) We think the Osage Orange will be hardy enough for you, and if 80) we would recommend it Next to it the Buckthorn, whose chief defect is the want of a sufficient number of thorns. The native varieties of the Hawthorn that grow in your woods, will also make a good hedge if well managed.

* This proves synonymous with Chaselas Musquie.

The Syrian Grape may be had of any of the principal nurseries. See our advertizing columns.

The Fabiana is quite easily propagated by outtings of the young wood placed in sand or very sandy earth. They will root quicker and surer if covered with a bell-glass.

(A. M., Bethany, Va.) You will find the address of most of the leading nurserymen in the advertizing columns of the Horticulturist. We do not know that we could prepare a more complete list if we should set about it.

(J. E. H., Indianapolis.) Hedge with Osage Orange by all means. It succeeds well, we understand, in your climate.

We would advise the Pears, Apples, and Cherries to be dwarfs or pyramids. Plums' Peaches, and Quinces cannot be dwarfed so successfully, and may therefore be grown as standards.

(A. Novice, Galesburgh, Mich.) You will find a description of the Wardian Case in the Horticulturist, volume 2, pages 405 and 406. We may reprint it at some convenient opportunity.

(V. A., Pleasant Ridge, III.) Parsons' Treatise on the Rose is the most complete that has been published in this country. Buist's Rose Manual may be consulted with advantage - a cheap, practical work.

(J. L. M., Holyoke, Mass.) We will carry out your suggestion as soon as may be convenient.

(A Subscriber, Dayton, O.) Twelve best Verbenas - Scarlets. - Robinson's Defiance and Chauviere. White. - Hovey's America. Rose Color. - Kossuth (Sayers'), and Mag* nificent (Jackson's).
