ELDER. (Sambii'cus ni'yra.)
Varieties. There are several kinds
j in cultivation, but the old 8. nigra is in
j most general esteem, being the best
adapted for wine making. The White-
1 berried (8. albida} is much esteemed
by some, especially as an ornamental
shrub. S. viridis, or the Green-berried,
and 8. nigra variegata, the Silver-striped,
and S. nigra aurea, the Golden-edged,
are interesting varieties. We have 1^
received one with scarlet berries,
to be very handsome. Most of the
varieties of S. nigra are ornamental,
and Avell adapted to assist in forming
skreens to the exterior of small gardens,
or even as hedge-row fruits.
Propagation. Generally by cuttings,
which strike easily, even as large trun-
cheons. They are readily produced,
also, by suckers, and in all these cases
care should be taken to cut away from
the stem those buds which are to be
placed below the ground. They are
easily produced from seed, and by such
means varieties may be obtained.
Soil. They will thrive in almost
any ordinary soil ; still they prefer an
upland light loam, containing a fail-
amount of vegetable matter.
Culture. The form will depend on
the situation it is to occupy. The elder
will bear fruit either as a huge bush,
or as a small tree, provided the prepa-
ratory course of training is properly
carried out. Those for fruiting as
bushes, should be formed almost as a
gooseberry-bush, in its earlier stages,
keeping the centre somewhat thin.
Indeed, thinning out superfluous shoots
is nearly all that can be practised.
Those for standard trees, or with stems,
must be trained by clearing away side-
shoots, and forming a head at a higher
level. About five or six feet is com-
monly allowed for stem height, and
the head must then be formed as re-
commended for the bushes. They
require scarcely any subsequent 'cul-
ture, and will endure for many years.
Fruit. The making of elder wine is
the principal use. Elder flowers are
used occasionally to flavour confections.

ENCHANTEK'S NIGHTSHADE. Circce'a.
ENDIVE. (Cicho'rium endi'via.} Used
in salads.
Varieties. The green-curled is culti-
vated for the main crops, as it best
endures wet and cold ; the white-curled,
chiefly grown for summer and autumn ;
the broad-leaved, or Batavian, is pre-
ferred for soups and stews, but is sel-
dom used for salads.
Soil and Situation. A light, dry, but
rich soil, dug deep and unshaded. It
is best to form an artificial bed by lay-
ing a foot in depth of earth on abed of
brickbats, stones, &c.
Sowing. For a first crop about the
middle of April, to be repeated in May,
but only in small portions, as those
which are raised before June soon ad-
vance to seed. Towards the middle
of June the first main crop may be
sown again, in the course of July, and
lastly early in August ; and in this
month the main plantation is made.
Sow in drills twelve inches apart, and
about a quarter of an inch below the
surface. When an inch in height, thin
the plants to three or four inches apart :
those taken away are two small to be
of any service if pricked out. Water
should be given freely in dry weather.
When the larger seedlings have been
transplanted, the smaller ones which
remain should have a gentle watering,
and in twelve or fourteen days they
will afford a second successional crop ;
and, by a repetition of this manage-
ment, in general, a third. The plants
are generally fit for transplanting when
of a month's growth in the seed-bed,
or when five or six inches high.
Planting. Set them in rows twelve
or fifteen inches apart each way ; the
Batavian requires the greatest space.
Water must be given moderately every
evening until the plants are established,
after which only in excessive and pro-
tracted drought. Those which are left
in the seed-bed, in general, attain a
finer growth than those that have been
moved. In November, some plants
that have attained nearly their full
size may be removed to the south side
of a sloping bank of dry light earth,
raised one or two feet behind : to be
protected by frames, mats, or thick
coverings of litter, during severe and
very wet weather ; but to be carefully
uncovered during mild dry clays. The
plants, in this instance, are not re-
quired to be further apart than six or
eight inches. This plan may be fol-
lowed in open days during December
and January, by which means a con-
stant supply may be obtained. Instead
of being planted in the above manner
on a terrace, it is sometimes practised
to take the plants on a dry day, and
the leaves being tied together, to lay
them horizontally in the earth down to
the tip of the leaves ; this accelerates
the blanching, but otherwise is far more
subject to failure. As the number ne-
cessary for a family is but small, but
few should be planted at a time.
Blanching. About three months
elapse between the time of sowing and
the fitness of the plants for blanching.
This operation will be completed in
from ten to fourteen clays in summer,
or in three or four weeks in winter.
To blanch the plants tie their leaves
together; or place tiles or pieces of
board upon them; or tie their leaves
together, and cover them to their tips
with mould, making it rise to a point,
so as to throw oft' excessive rains. All
these methods succeed in dry seasons,
but in wet ones the plants, treated ac-
cording to any of them, are liable to
decay.
The one which succeeds best in all
seasons is to fold the leaves round the
heart as much as possible in their
natural position ; and, being tied toge-
ther with a shred of bass-mat, covered
up entirely with coal-ashes in the form
of a cone, the surface being .rendered

iirm and smooth with the trowel. Sand
will do, but ashes are equally uure-
tentive of moisture, whilst they are
much superior in absorbing heat, which
is so beneticial in the hastening of the
process. If the simple mode of drawing
the leaves together is adopted to effect
this blanching, they must be tied very
close, and, in a week after the first tying,
a second ligature must be passed round
the middle of the plant, to prevent the
heart-leaves bursting out. A dry after-
noon, when the plants are entirely free
from moisture, should be selected,
whichever mode is adopted.
A very excellent mode is to spread
over the surface of the bed about an
inch in depth of pit-sand, and covering
each plant with a small pot made of
earthenware, painted both within and
on the outside to exclude the wet
that worst hindrance of blanching. To
avoid this, the pots should be taken
off daily to allow the plants to dry, and
the insides of the pots wiped dry. A
sea kale pot in miniature, like the an-
nexed figure, is to be preferred j and if
made of zinc or other metal it would
be better, because not porous and ad-
missive of moisture.
To obtain Seed. The finest and
soundest plants should be selected of
the last plantation. For a small family
three or four plants of each variety
will be sufficient. Plant these in March
beneath a south fence, about a foot
from it and eighteen inches apart. As
the flower-stem advances, fasten it to a
stake, or, if they are placed beneath
palings, by a string, to be gathered as
the seed upon it ripens ; for if none
are gathered until the whole plant is
changing colour, the first ripened and
best seed will have scattered and be
lost. Each branch must be laid, as it
is cut, upon a cloth in the sun ; and
when perfectly dry, the seed beaten
out, cleansed, and stored,
ENGINE. This name is
applied .to many contri-
vances for supplying water
to plants.
1. The pump-syringe, or
syrinyc-cnyine, can be sup-
plied with water from a
common bucket, from
which it sucks the water
through a perforated base.
The handle is sometimes
made to work like that of
the common pump.
2. The barrow watering -
oiyinc is represented in
the figure below. It will
throw the jet of water to
a distance of forty or fifty
feet, or somewhat less if a
rose is upon the end of
the delivery-pipe. It holds
from twenty to thirty gal-
lons of water ; but may be
made, with a leather-hose
attached, to communicate
with a pond or other re-
servoir of water.

! ENTRANCES. Upon these parts of a
' residence, which should give a first and
appropriate impression, Mr. Whateley
i has these just remarks : The road
| which leads up to the door of the man-
; sion may go off from it in an equal
; angle, so that the two sides shall ex-
{ actly correspond ; and certain orna-
i ments, though detached, are yet rather
within the province of architecture than
! of gardening ; works of sculpture are
i not, like buildings, objects familiar in.
| scenes of cultivated nature ; but vases,
| statues, and termini, are usual appen-
| dages to a considerable edifice; as such,
i they may attend the mansion, and tres-
j pass a little upon the garden, provided
I they are not carried so far into it as to
; lose their connexion with the structure.
The platform and the road are also ap-
; purtenances to the house ; all these
| may therefore be adapted to its form,
I and the environs will thereby acquire a
! degree of regularity ; but to give it to
the objects of nature, only on account
i of their proximity to others which are
calculated to receive it, is, at the best, a
refinement. Upon the same principles
regularity has been acquired in the
approach; and an additional reason
i has been assigned for it, that the idea
of a seat is thereby extended to a dis-
tance; but that may be by other means
than by an avenue a private road is
easily known ; if carried through
I. grounds, or a park, it is commonly
I very apparent; even in a lane, here
and there a bench, a painted gate, a
small plantation, or any other little
ornament, will sufficiently denote it.
If the entrance only be marked, simple
! preservation will retain the impression
along the whole progress; or it may
wind through several scenes distin-
guished by objects, or by an extraordi-
nary degree of cultivation : and then
the length of the way, and the variety
of improvements through which it is
conducted, may extend the appearance
of a domain, and the idea of a seat, be-
| yond the reach of any direct avenue.
I A narrow vista, a mere line of perspec-
; tive, be the extent what it may, will
seldom compensate for the loss of that
space which it divides, and of the parts
which it conceals.
