Copy Lost

Our boy last month lost some of our best "table" matter while on the way to the printer's, and we did not discover it till too late to supply it again, which in some cases would not have been possible. It contained notices of Horticultural shows, acknowledgments for tickets, etc., received, and other matters; all which our readers will please consider as having been properly said.

Cordon Training - Bezi De Caen Pear - Ludwig's Cherry - Alida Peach

All well to be figured, and valuable as records to the pomologist. The cordon practice of growing will enable every garden to have peaches and apricots, etc., every year, because when so grown the trees can be readily protected from late frosts in spring by means of mats or cloths, and from cur-culio by fine netting. To some such practice as this, and the extended use of orchard houses, I believe we shall have to look for any certainty of peaches to eat from year to year.

The Corean Pasa M A - Saki, Or The Bloom Of Paradise

This sweet and beautiful scented grass plant sheds its sweet fragrance over the house all the year round. The seeds can be planted any time in the year, in dirt, sponge or cotton in a tumbler.

It does not give out its beautiful fragrance under ten or twelve days, and lasts five months before going to seed; water as other plants.

Price of packages, 15 cts., or 2 for 25 cts.; 800 seeds in each package.

The Cork Tree In California

Messrs. Dressel & Co., of Sonoma, California, about three months ago, set on their ranch the seed of 100 cork trees, obtained from the Patent Office, at Washington, D. C. Of this number 85 have lived, and are now about six inches above the ground. No irrigation was used, and the young plants were exposed to the blighting effects of the cold spring winds, but, notwithstanding, they look quite healthy and flourishing.

Corn

A correspondent asks if we believe the story of a stalk of corn having grown ten and a half inches in twenty-four hours. Yes; in the Winchester Republican.

Corn In Tassel

The Savannah Georgian of June 8th says: Corn is backward - it has only just begun to tassal. Wheat harvest is over, and the crop is a good one.

Correas

J. S. Correa speciosa is the best taken altogether. Three parts black peat or vegetable mould, and one part good loam, not too stiff, and a little white sand is the best compost for them. Give good drainage.

The Corsican Pine. Pinus Larico

The Corsican Pine is a variety between the Scotch and Austrian - with the general habit of growth of the Scotch, perhaps not as much sway to its branches as it grows old - leaves somewhat longer than the Scotch, but not as long or as dark a green as the Austrian, more yellowish. It transplants and grows with the same facility as the Scotch, and is desirable as a variety and to form groups or masses with that or other varieties.

Cost

In New England this cottage built thoroughly in the above manner would cost about $3,800, including Greenhouse.

Cost #1

The cost of this house would depend, of course, upon the choice of the materials recommended, and the degree of finish given to the interior. I have made no particular estimate, but should think that, with a plain style of finish, built of brick and stucco, it would cost in the neighborhood of $15,000.
