Not illustrated. 1851 edition. Excerpt: ...Plum Curculio 25, Small do. 8, Large do. 3. At the proper season of the year, by watching their movements patiently, large numbers will be seen emerging from the ground, and after surveying their position, will follow the instinct with which nature has endowed them, by crawling up the tree instead of flying. I have often checked their progress in this way, by putting a thick piece of pasteboard around the tree in the shape of an inverted funnel, but their wings were soon brought into requisition to overcome the difficulty. They can apparently fly a great distance, and in high winds, are blown in every direction, for after such winds, I have often found them in different rooms, in the first and second story of the house. Your readers will naturally say, all this is very well, but give us a remedy that will effectually guard against the enemy. I can safely say, there is a remedy, and a philosophical one, which, if faithfully carried out, will insure good crops of fruit so far as Curculio are concerned. First, then, cut off all means of reproduction by picking up every description of fallen fruit two or three times a week, and subjecting it to some process that will effectually destroy grub or larva. No advantage will be derived from this process the first year, for the Curculio is already in the ground; but the satisfaction of having a good crop of plums the second year, will well repay for all the trouble of picking up the fallen fruit. I have studied the character and habits of this insect for the last ten years--have watched its movements for days and weeks--have tried every remedy published in the different agricultural and horticultural works, all of which have totally failed, excepting jarring the trees, and paving, and these have...

Not illustrated. 1852 edition. Excerpt: ... for her maid could be arranged, Mrs. Grimshaw made her entry, utterly regardless of the state of every thing around her. The garden was now one pool of mud, diversified by a few wells of mortar, heaps of stones, and other building materials, and the house door could only be reached by stepping from plank to plank, and from stone to stone. Over these mud heaps, however, the invalid lady contrived to climb, and ensconsed herself among her works; and soon the wonderfully changed appearance of those rooms which had undergone renewal, gave tokens of the improvements, which, in the course of time, i might be expected without; and though all 'was done in a simple and inexpenivc. style, and the furnishing and filling up were somewhat old fashioned, there was an air of comfort and of home diffused through the whole, which led to the idea that Mrs. Grimshaw had an eye for detecting capabilities, and a mind that would not be daunted by petty difficulties. But Mrs. Grimshaw's garden is the subject we have to discuss, and not the house. Of the future state of this, she seemed to have some very pleasing provisions. She appeared to have it all before her mind's eye, redolent of perfumes, glowing with flowers, a place where she might walk, and sit, and meditate, and from which the greatest enjoyment and credit would accrue to her.--But when I left Morton in November, such as I have described was the dismal state of this rather swamp than garden; and I confess I somewhat pitied the poor visionary, and doubted how far her hobby would carry her before it left her floundering in the mire, amid which her imagination was at work. I was several months from home, and some weeks elapsed after my return, before my steps were turned in the direction of Mrs....

Not illustrated. 1853 edition. Excerpt: ...bearings of practical agriculture. Messrs. Editors: --I have been surprised, recently, to find an effort made by one or two agricultural papers, to decry the chemical analysis of soils. The objection seems to be based, principally, on the fact that great differences in the chemical composition of soils exist in different neighborhoods, and even on the same farms or fields; and, that as the chemical analysis of the soil of one spot can not be a true index to that of others, which differ from it, therefore all chemical analysis is valueless. The statement as here made, in relation to the difference in the qualities of soils, is true; but, instead of the inference drawn being true or philosophical, it is the very David Christy. Scenery in Bengal. The groves of Palm-trees with their naked trunks crowned with the richest foliage, give a tropical and magnificent appearance to the landscape. The immense green leaves of the Plantain, surrounding a pithy stem, bending under a load of fruit at all seasons of the year; the green carpet which covers the ground at all times, but which grows with great rapidity during the rainy season; the magnificent shoots of the Bamboos, which rise to the higbt of forty or fifty feet in a single year; and the Banyans, which extend their mighty arms to such a distance as to require support, a support which nature herself supplies by throwing down preps which take root, and finally become trunks and centers themselves of vast spreading thickets; all these give Bengal a character for grandeur and luxuriance which is rarely equaled in other parts of the globe. The provinces to the north-west, however, have usually a very different appearance. Many tracts of country are barren and sandy in consequence of the l-ng droughts..
