Red Scuppernokg Wine

We are indebted to Dr. Wylie, of Chester Court-Houte, S. C, for a bottle of very delicate Scuppernong Wine - no, we forget; it was not the Doctor, it was "Annie," who sent it, and she. and not the Doctor, (we are very particular about this,) will please accept our best thanks. At first we thought it was just a little too sweet, but when we remembered who sent it, we didn't think so at all; on the contrary, we thought it was just right. We did not see Annie, for she had left for Saratoga before we called; but we know 6he must be both beautiful and good to send us such nice wine. It made our sanctum really cheerful for a time.

Red Spider In Vineries

The following is the mode adopted by one of the best cultivators of the day, to get rid of this pest of gardens. It is the system of Mons. Gresson, the head gardener of the forcing houses at Versailles. - Mix a pound of the flower of sulphur with an equal quantity of fresh slacked lime j when well mixed put them in an iron or glazed earthenware pot with five pints of water; boil it ten minutes, stirring it all the time; remove the pot from the fire, and when it has settled, about four pints of the clear liquid can be bottied for use. To use it, mix one part of this mixture with one hundred of water. With this diluted liquid, Mons. Gresson syringes his vines before they are in flower; again after the berries are set and growing, and again a third time, should there be any signs of the malady.

Red Spider Upon Evergreens

In the last volume, at page 383, a correspondent states that his Norway spruces were badly infested with red spider. I have intended for some time past, to make a somewhat similar statement in regard to a plantation of young balsam firs, in which I was interested some years since. In the summer of 1854, (I think in July,) they became so completely overrun with this insect, that I feared they were permanently injured. The weather was extremely dry, and there being several thousands of trees, mostly from two to five feet in height, it was impossible to succeed in dislodging the enemy by any artificial application of water. Fortunately, when we had become seriously alarmed for their safety, we were favored with a continuance of cool rainy weather for a sufficient length of time to totally exterminate the insect. Indeed, so thorough was the destruction among them, that during the remainder of that and the following seasons, they did not cause the least trouble. Juvenis.

Red Winter Sweet

Unknown to me. Medium size, varying in form, generally conic. Skin almost entirely covered with deep crimson on a yellow ground, sometimes indistinct splashes and stripes, and moderately sprinkled with large light dots around the base, and more numerous and small light dots around calyx. Stalk very short, cavity small, calyx small and closed, in a very shallow basin. Flesh yellow, a little coarse, not very tender or juicy, but with a rich, honeyed, sweet flavor, slightly aromatic. Probably an excellent sort for culinary purposes. Mr. Kennedy says: "A good and prolific bearer, a delicious, rich, high-flavored, sweet apple. We have never seen it out of this locality, yet it came from Virginia or Maryland some forty years since." Can any one from those states give the origin and history of this apple?
