the growth of this for dessert purposes
has never been, as far as we are aware,
systemized in this country, we can only
offer a few general hints as to its cul-
ture. It has been affirmed that it
succeeds best grafted on the quince,
and it is very probable ; for it belongs
to the same natural order, Appleworts,
in addition to which, individuals from
the genera Pyrus, Amelanchier, Mcspi-
liiSj and even the Photinia serrulata,
being itself an evergreen, present most
likely stocks.
Grafting is recommended, in order
to check its excessively robust cha-
racter ; for. in its natural growth it
would be too coarse for ordinary hot-
houses. Grafting, therefore, or any of
the expedients resorted to in pear cul-
ture, may be had recourse to. It may
be readily propagated from seed, and
doubtless by cuttings, and will grow in
any ordinary soil. We would, however,
use no manurial matters, but simply
peat and strong loam, the latter pre-
dominating.

Annuals, by seed, at the beginning of April ;
a very few require the assistance of a gentle
hotbed, and transplanting afterwards; herba-

division, and cuttings in summer, under a
hand-light, in a shady place. These are very
useful for banks and rockworks. Greenhouse
and frame kinds by cuttings of young shoots,
in sandy soil, under a hand-light or frame ;
light sandy soil for all.

not buried more than a quarter of an
inch. The plants, when two or three
inches high, must be thinned to three
inches apart, and those removed pricked
at the same distances, in a similar hed
to that from which they were removed ;
shade and water freely in every stage
of their growth; for if, from the want
of this, a due exposure to the light, or
any other cause, they become weak,
they seldom are productive. Plant out
iu the open air early in June ; prepare
them for this, until at length they can
endure the temperature of the green-
house, where they may he kept until
finally moved. But before that time
arrives another thinning will be requi-
site ; those in the hotbed to six inches
apart, and those in the stove, each
plant separate into tolerable-si/ed pots.
They are to be finally planted five feet
apart beneath a south paling or wall,
to -which their branches must be
trained ; for if allowed to trail on the
ground the fruit scarcely ever ripens,
and never is in perfection. Water and
shade during midday must be afforded
until they are established; and if the
nights are cold during the first week or
two, the shelter of a hand-glass, or
even of a garden-pot, is advantageous.
The training may commence as soon
as the branches are a foot long, and
continued throughout their growth.
In case of a want of space of wall or
paling, they may be trained with stakes
as espaliers. Throughout the summer
clear away all lateral shoots, its well as
lliiri the leaves, so as to expose the
fruit to the full influence of the sun.
The berries begin to ripen about the
middle of August, and continue to do
so until October, or the arrival of the
first frosts which always destroy the
plants.
To obtain Seed. Somn of the for-
wardest berries must be left until
perfectly ripe. It must be separated
from the pulp by washing as directed
for the " Cucumber."

LOZOT.-K'NIA rosa'ria is a small moth,
of which the caterpillar feeds upon the,
leaves of the rose-tree. Mr. Curtis
says, that "the eggs are laid in the
summer or autumn, and hatch with
the opening leaves ; and the little
caterpillar begins at once to form a
residence by drawing two or more leaf-
lets together, on which it feeds. This
operation soon points out where the
caterpillar is ; and the best method
which we know of getting rid of it is
hand-picking, which should be practised
as soon as the operation of the cater-
pillar becomes visible."

They are generally arranged into annuals, pe-
rennials, and frame evergreen shrubs, but they
all produce seed so freely, that it is easiest to
propagate them by that means, only the ever-
greens, instead of being sown in theopen ground,
should have the assistance of a gentle hotbed
to rear them before planting them out. If such
kinds as Mutabilis and Cruikshankii are sown
in August, and kept in pots all the winter in a
pit, they make splendid specimens on a lawn
the following summer.

The hardy herbaceous are chiefly cultivated ;
seed, division, and cuttings under a hand-light
of the young shoots, as growth commences in
spring. Small side shoots may be obtained
from flowering stems, but they do not answer
so well ; rich sandy loam. They require di-
viding often in spring, and fresh soil to grow
in. Grandiflora requires protection in a cold
pit in winter ; double flowers require more
attention in changing the soil than single ones.

Cuttings of ripened shoots, in autumn or
spring, under a hand-light; common sandy
loam. The tender kinds require protection.
They are mostly of a free, rambling, half-
climbing character, and Europcewn, and its
congeners, are thus well-fitted for covering
arbours, unsightly walls, c. ; Afrum does well
on a conservative wall, and its fruit is pretty,
and it blooms very freely.
