Ereata

On page 34, the Alexander Pear, M. Calvin, Esq., should read Mr. Calvin Ely; and two years ago should read twenty.

Eriobotrya Japonica, Loquat

A small tree, with large foliage, nearly equal to the Magnolia, producing a fruit, in the winter season, very similar to an Aprioot; grows well in the Southern States.

Escallonia

Escallonia, dwarf shrubs, with rosy red flowers: very desirable for Southern latitudes".

Erratum

In the review of Mr. Meehan's book, in our February number, our correspondent is made to commit an error which would not have been the case if a line had not been omitted. He is speaking of two trees, and but one is mentioned. After the word "themselves," line 24, page 22, should have been added, "Again of the Franklinia, now Gordonia pubescent;" we have succeeded, etc. Without the above, our correspondent's proposed quotation to add to the criticised book reads very like nonsense.

Erratum #1

The Boston, or Pinneo Pear, was last week by an inadvertency called also the Hebron - they are distinct fruits; also, on page 483, "Harvey " is misprinted for Hovey.

Eryihronium Americanum, (Dog-Tooth Violet.)

Another of the welcome harbingers of spring. Very early, its long spotted leaf shoots up in some sheltered spot, succeeded by its flower stalk, bearing a single yellow, lilly-like flower.

Esopus Spitzenburgh

"First rate, perfectly hardy, and bears well when top-worked, but will not succeed root-grafted."

These trees (two of them) have been planted out twenty-four years; stood the ordeal of 1855, '6, and 1856, '7, and now there are no sounder trees in the neighborhood. I tried this kind several years root-grafted, and after my best efforts entirely failed in bringing a single specimen to bearing size, but have known one or two instances where the fruit has been produced on root.grafted trees in clay soil.

Espalier Fault Trees

IT., (Boston.) Tour gardener has injured your trees by ex-cessive pruning. Being a Scotchman he was taught training and pruning in a damp climate with a covered sky, and pursues the same system here where we have a dry climate and an unclouded sky. If he will take a hint from nature on this side of the water and leave more wood and leaves, his trees will regain their health. A south exposure we consider on the whole the worst for trained fruit trees.

Espalier Railing

The accompanying eut exhibits a specimen of a eheap, durable, and elegant espalier railing, consisting of w rough t-iroD uprights 1£ inches square, and six feet in height They are set into large blocks of unhewn stone, sunk in the ground so as not to be seen. The horizontal wires are nearly a quarter of an inch in diameter; and after being very firmly secured at one end, are made to pass through the uprights at about 6 or 7 inches apart from each other. They are then tightened up with a nut and screw at the other end. - lbid.
