Generous Plea For Old-Maidism

Your Pink of Perfection is always considered by judges the best single. - Punch.

Generous Price For Fruit

Two splendid Oregon Pippins, weighing two and a-half and two and a quarter pounds, and one splendid Pear weighing one and three-fourths pounds, were sold by Mr. Weaver, at Number 1, Washington street, at ten dollars each. What will our fruit growers in Massachusetts say to this !

The Genesee Farmer

We perceive by the September number of the Farmer, that Mr. Harris proposes to give it away next year - almost. The three remaining numbers for 1880 will be sent free and fifty cents inclosed to Joseph Harris, at Rochester will secure the paper for 1861! That, certainly,- is cheap enough for a good agricultural journal.

We find that President Wilder's Address has not been put in type, as well as some notes of ours on Mr. Dundas's place, Bright's Nursery, and other Philadelphia matters. Our own remarks can very well go over for a month, but we regret to have the Address do so. We are too much behind, however, to stop longer.

Genista Scoparium

Common Broom - is a very useful undergrowth. It is perfectly hardy. As an evergreen, its close habit renders it effective. It blooms profusely and is a valuable addition to our flowering shrubs.

We have written to inform you where the seed required can be purchased. There is no separate book on the cultivation of hedges at present D. N. If your apple orchard does not succeed under the treatment mentioned, give up the trees and try another set, or try an experiment for a year or two without other crops, around them; but better still, lay on a heavy deposit of stable manure, this fall, previously digging in a peck of charcoal and a peck of lime to each tree.

B. is informed that though the Holly may not succeed in his hyperborean region it does very well elsewhere.

John W. Paint, We do not repudiate the Chinese Arbor Vitae entirely, as a hedge plant, though the American is so superior as always to be preferred. All hedges should be trimmed twice a year, as recommended in the August number. See Michaux's Sylva.

We hare exhausted the subject of Aquariums long since, and cannot in this case "try back." See vol. for 1855, p. 302; vol. for 1856, p. 405; vol. for 1857, pp. 47 and 281. For the book published by Dix, Edwards & Co., apply to your bookseller; it is very full. We are constantly referred to for information already imparted, and as we publish indexes, it might often save trouble to consult them.

George Penbody, Thuja Occidental Lutea

This new Golden Arbor Vitro is claimed to possess the richest golden yellow color of any evergreens - color almost entirely covers the plant - marks not merely the tips of the leaves, but covers from one to three inches of the current year's growth; color very brilliant, and more decidedly golden than Biota elegantissima; color permanent, both in the suns of hot summer and among the frosts and winds of winter. Plants also hardy, having stood the cold, dry, hard winters of 1870-'71-72, and lives in every locality where the common American arbor vitae thrives.

On February 12, 1873, the Royal Horticultural Society Of London awarded it a first-class certificate.
