In answer to Mr. Bissell, who said that grafting the grape was difficult, I said that I had found no difficulty whatever in grafting; that we graft them within doors as successfully as the Apple. Had cleft-grafted some Diana in the open ground. Graft after the stock vine has made a growth of an inch or two in the spring; tie up with wax cloth, (for in-door grafting we use wax paper,) and bury under ground all but one eye. Always graft under ground, as the wood is firmer there. Have had them grow twenty to thirty feet the first year, and they generally bear the second year. Yours very truly, L. Ellwanger.

Mr. Editor: - The article on the Begonia, in your January number, will, no doubt, do well enough for professional gardeners or advanced amateurs, but there are unquestionably many of your readers who, like myself, would be glad to have information on the subject much more precise and amplified. Every one does not know how to strike a Begonia cutting. You, probably,know many persons whose " local habitation," " impecuniosity," or other sufficient cause, prevents from having a large greenhouse, or employing an artist, but who, notwithstanding, are fond of growing probably a few dozens of Winter-blooming plants. In behalf of this, I think, large class, in which I number myself, I beg you will give, at an early day, a paper " On the Cultivation of the Begonia in Greenhouses," not Hothouses, giving full instructions for the propagation and management of the plants throughout the year, and a descriptive list of the kinds desirable for Greenhouse purposes, either for flowers, foliage, or fragrance.

I shall, perhaps, expose my own ignorance sufficiently, and at the same time inform you as to the capabilities of my greenhouse, when I state, that with me the ordinary varieties of Heliotrope grow and bloom finely during the entire winter. Geuaomeria Umgiflora blooms handsomely during December and January; and I get good flowers from many of the common kinds of greenhouse plants - difficulties are not attempted of purpose. Begonia manieata grows and flowers satisfactorily; Begonia incamata flowers moderately well, but the foliage is not good, and the plants do not look thrifty; Begonia Fuehuoidea does not flower well, and the plants look really shabby.

If time and inclination permit you to answer these questions, or rather this class of questions, "there are a few more of the same sort left." Brooklyn.

[We believe that "Brooklyn" has here truly presented the real wants of a large class of readers, whose existence even is too frequently ignored. It will be nothing new for us to take them under our special care. In a separate article we have furnished " Brooklyn" with the information he seeks; but, unfortunately, it with others has been crowded out. It will appear next month, and we shall then be ready for his other questions. - Ed].

Beaufort, S. C, 7th Jan., 1860. Ed. Horticulturist: - While remitting you my subscription, I will add a few remarks upon fruits and fruit-trees from my own experience, that you may dispose of as you think proper. I always, when in my power, manure my fruit-trees, etc.f early in the winter, merely putting the manure on the surface, and when in a yard, the poultry scatter it sufficiently; but when in a garden, the rains of winter leach down to the roots all the valuable parts, and the litter remains for a mulching. I do not say that this is the best way to apply manure, but I think I may safely say that it has with me proved a satisfactory one. If the manure could be applied just after the crop of fruit has been ripened, I believe that the succeeding crop would be materially increased, and sometimes protected from frosts, etc. The Dearborn's Seedling Pear proves a very poor grower and bearer, and the fruit is too small. xThe Rousselet de Rheims ripens about the same time, keeps better, lasts longer, is a larger and better fruit, and the tree the most vigorous grower upon quince that I know of.

The Doyenne' Roux or Grey Doyenne possesses nearly if not all the good qualities of the Bartlett, while it is, in my opinion, a rather better fruit than either the Bartlett or the White Doyenne*, and is one of those best adapted to the quince stock. The greatest objection to it is, that it ripens at the same season with them. The Belle et Bonne proves one of the largest and best of Pears, though it has not proved a very early bearer. Is not the-Adams the same as the Henry IVth And the Oswego Beurr or Reid's Seedling the Grey Doyenne? The Glout Morceau does not succeed with me, though I have been trying it for many years; I have only two small trees, and they have not yet borne fruit, and may also soon die, as all the others have done. The Vicomte de Spoelberch, double-worked on pear, has proved an excessive bearer, therefore requiring very severe thinning; but when in perfection a truly delicious fruit, although it is not juicy. The Colmar de Silly on quince last year (1858) bore an abundant crop, and the fruit was large and fine, ripening in September. The Belle Epine Dumas bore well, but proved dry and mealy, and ripened in the same month The Beurre Diel proves a vigorous grower and great bearer, and I find it more healthy, and I think the fruit better, than the Duchesse d'Angouleme. The Bezy de Bretagne proves a very vigorous grower and most abundant bearer; but it is only a stewing fruit, and only medium-sized. It keeps until late, and then proves a tolerable breaking table pear.

The Easter Beurrd dies out very badly. I find it hard to keep it going. It ripens in October along with the St. Germain, Winter Bonchretien, and Josephine de Malines. The Winter Bonchretien grows very vigorously upon quince, and, when in perfection, I think it equal to any pear of any season; but, unfortunately, it is very liable to crack, when it is worthless. I gathered my last two Elize d'Hyest in November, but they rotted; this was the first crop. The Beurre' d'Aremberg proves fine and late, but the wood cankers very badly.
