Hogg &. Co.'s Nursery, New-York

We visited this establishment the past month, and were gratified to And it maintaining its deserved reputation. The general appearance of the stock of greenhouse and frame plants is healthy, and their arrangement and state of culture indicate that care and attention has been given them during their summer exposure, the good effects of which will not fail to develope themselves during the coming season. We were also pleased to find the hot-houae plants remarkably clean, and although the stock of them is limited, it is satisfactory to see that they receive that habitual care which in general collections is frequently not paid to them. We see Messrs. Hogg have a young plant of the Victoria Lily growing vigorously, so that our New York friends will soon have the opportunity to gratify their anxiety to see this beautiful addition to our exotic flora, domesticated amongst them.

Holly - Ilex

The European holly is so beautiful in England, that almost every planter of a new place feels anxious to adopt it. Repeated experiments with it, however, compel us to, all unwillingly, write that it can not be used and prove at all satisfactory. Even our native variety, the Hex opaca, frequently browns badly, and occasionally loses its foliage completely ; and although beautiful when it can be perfectly grown, it proves so often unsightly rather than beautiful, that it is unwise to use it except in shaded situations.

Holmes's Sweet Apple

Below I give you a sketch of a sweet apple that is considered a great acquisition to our winter sweet apples in this vicinity, where it originated.

Hon. Mrs. Ashley

Rosy carmine; flower large and double; spike very compact.

The Honey King

The Agriculturist calls Mr. M. Quinby, of St. Johnsville, Montgomery County, N. Y.,the Honey King, and assures us that, this year, he has sold 22,000 pounds of honey, all raised by himself and his immediate neighbors, with only common hives, small, equate, cheaply constructed boxes, with glass sides, which are set upon the common hive.

The quality is superior, and it commands a very high price, vis: twenty-five cents the pound, including the weight of the boxes.

Honeysuckle Hallieana

An evergreen variety, flowers pure white, changing to yellow; very fragrant; is covered with flowers from June to November.

Honolulu Nectarine Squash

We have received from Mr. I. W. Briggs, of West Macedon, a sample of this remarkable Squash, and find it truly excellent. . It is as good as sugar candy - and better! We have never before seen anything like it, and could readily imagine we were eating some carefully prepared confection. We shall take precious good care of the seed.

Honor To Whom Honor Is Due

In the proceedings of the Brooklyn Horticultural Society in our last issue, Mr. Quin quotes the saying, "Prune in winter for wood, and in summer for fruit." These few and simple words tersely enunciate a most valuable pomologioal fact. The words are often quoted, but we believe that to Dr. Warder, of Cincinnati, belongs the merit of having given this important truth its present axiomatic form. It is a peculiarly happy and expressive one.
