"In a cemetery in the country, where the population is limited, and where it will be necessary to depend mainly on beautifying and improving the natural advantages of the grounds, and not on extensive inclosures and monuments," it will be well, in the first place, to remove all unsightly trees and objects of every kind; to make only the necessary walks, as future expense will be thus avoided, and to plant such trees in variety as will permanently adorn the place, and be suited to the climate; the greater the variety, provided they are properly chosen, the better; Neatness and cleanliness fellow as a matter of course; select a superintendent who has a good eye to order, and who possesses some knowledge of trees; if he has not this requisite, he must be overlooked by a president or manager who has.

"The best mode of inclosing the outward boundaries1' will be found to be stone, and it will be the cheapest in the end. It may be either a dry wall, or made with ordinary mortar; where it supports a bank of earth it should be laid on a deep foundation, and be made amply thick; such banks are constantly pressing outwards, and this process is assisted by the alternate freezing and thawing.

"Indicating single lots without inclosing with a fence, railing, or hedge," may be simply effected by placing a square marble block at one or two corners of each lot with the name or number carved on the top. This block need not project more than an inch or two, and if it is sunk to a level with the ground, it will be out of the way of the scythe - an important consideration in a place that of all others should be kept regularly mowed.

"For a hedge for single lots," the holly, if possible; if not, the various arbor-vitaes, especially the American and Siberian. See our former essays on cemeteries, in the Horti-ctdtmrist for last year.

(W. W.) The plant No. 1 is the Stagger-bush, Andromeda Mariana, growing in sandy, low placea from Rhode Island to Virginia; the foliage is said to poison lambs and calves. No. 2 is Samphire, Salicornia herbacea. It is found along the Jersey sea-coast, in salt marshes, and at Salina, N.T., and at other interior salt springs; so that Shakspeare's "dreadful trade" can be followed in America without risk. Name from sal, salt, and cornu, a horn; saline plants with horn-like branches. It is used on the English coasts as a pickle, and is quite good for that purpose; with the vinegar, it turns to a lively red color, something like red cabbage.
