Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gardener's Monthly and Horticulturist, 1878, Vol. 20: Devoted to Horticulture, Arboriculture and Rural Affairs Perhaps some of the many lady readers of your monthly would like to know how to get two flowers instead of one from every flowering sheath of their Calla lillies. As soon as the joint flower is cut, or begins to wither, pull the stalk down through the open sheath clear to the bottom. At the bottom will be found standing close to the stalk another bud, enclosed in a delicate covering. Cut the old stalk away as close as possible without injuring the bud, and if it has not been kept back too long it will grow up very quick. I have never failed to get both buds to flower. I never tie up the leaves close, but leave them free. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gardener's Monthly and Horticulturist, Vol. 24: Devoted to Horticulture, Arboriculture and Rural Affairs With Sargent's weeping hemlock, however, this beautiful habit is absolutely permanent on all specimens grown from grafts of that tree. Mr. H. W. Sargent discovered this weeping hemlock about twenty years ago, near his place, at Fishkill on the Hudson, and moved by his enthusiasm and appreciation of choice ornamental trees, entrusted it for propagation to the distinguished expert J. R. Trumpy. Turning from this queenly tree, we note the rich grandeur of the third member of our trio of distinguished evergreens. Abies pungens is said to be very grand in its natural home of the Rocky Mountains, but its young and more carefully cultured growth on the lawn is without question more beautiful and charming. It is, moreover, the bluest of evergreens, and extremely hardy and vigorous growing withal. I should, perhaps, note in passing a fine large Abies excelsa elata, a very singular variety of Norway spruce originating in Flushing. It grows strongly and throws out long branches of grotesque form. One might fancy it, by a little stretch of the imagination, a fit substitute for Araucaria imbricata, which many wish to grow on their lawns in America, but cannot. The next group of evergreens we notice is Japanese, and clustered variously in the same section of the lawn. Abies polita, the tiger-tail spruce, is one of the finest and most valuable of the Japanese conifers. It is rich and very characteristic in form. The yellow-barked branches extend out stiff and straight, and the glossy bright green stiff-pointed leaves are as sharp and not unlike the spines of a hedgehog. The curious appearance of the ends of the young growth or half bursting leaf buds doubtless suggested the name tiger-tail spruce. Abies polita grows slowly, and therefore belongs to the class of evergreens specially fitted for small places. But this little cluster of evergreens close by is even better fitted for such work. They are Japanese junipers, and very hardy. Their elegant forms and rich tints would indeed render them distinguished anywhere. One is silvery, at least on a portion of its leaves; another is almost solid gold, and another, Juniperus aurea variegata, has its leaves simply tipped with gold in the daintiest fashion imaginable. Let us look at these two Japanese pines that show so richly even at a little distance. One is Pinus densiflora, with bright green leaves, long and very effective. This tree grows very rapidly, soon requiring the application of the pruning knife. In coloring and general habit it is, perhaps, the best of Japanese pines, except Pinus Massoniana, which only surpasses it in a yellowish tint that generally pervades the leaves. But the Pinus Massoniana par excellence is the golden-leaved form of that species. It is bright gold, that seems to gain a touch of deeper gold as you pause to look at it. This peculiar effect is greatly enhanced by the fact that Pinus Massoniana has two leaves only in a sheath, and these leaves are so clustered on the end of the branches as to spread in every direction. It was this peculiarity that gave rise to the name sun ray pine. But the noteworthy habit of this pine is its late variegation. In June, while in full growth, it is rather greenish golden than golden, but all through the summer its yellow grows brighter, until in September, it makes a very striking object amid the fading leaves of fall. It makes, in fact, a worthy companion for the golden oak, Quercus Concordia, which you will remember has the same peculiarity. It should be also noted that the brightness of the sun ray pine remains uninjured during winter, and never burns in summer, a quality that other so-called golden pines have sadly needed. The bright yellow of the sun ray pine is confined in a peculiar manner to about two-thirds of the leaf. Beginning at the base, first comes gold, then an equal amou...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gardeners Monthly and Horticulturist, 1887, Vol. 29: Devoted to Horticulture, Arboriculture and Rural Affairs It must be confessed that the introduction of Japanese varieties has not added anything very desirable to the pear orchard, if adaptability to the table is sought. For culinary purposes several varieties have proven very serviceable and their vigor of growth, early and abundant bearing qualities will cause a demand for the kitchen garden or orchard.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gardener's Monthly and Horticulturist, 1880, Vol. 22: Devoted to Horticulture, Arboriculture and Rural Affairs If properly shown to the managers, surely every cemetery company would see that it was to its interest to have a skilled gardener. One of this class would require no higher wages in many cases, than an ignoramus, - and even in larger enterprises the gardener and the engineer would both work together for each others' bene fit. Some people talk of politics as the reason why unskilful men are in charge of park gardens and other public positions; please let me ask how many skilled gardeners are there in the Philadelphia cemeteries, where there is no poli tics to interfere in the matter? There are a very few intelligent and worthy exceptions, but the majority are no better than those who get places in public work and under political ia fluence. There are good politicians and there are corrupt ones; there are good nurserymen, and nurserymen who are governed by avaricious motives, who would crowd in stock good bad and indifferent, and men to suit, if it served their avaricious purposes; and one kind of manage ment is no worse than the other. What we want is honest, intelligent manage ment in public parks and city work. We want men who will not bow the knee to Baal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gardener's Monthly and Horticulturist, Vol. 27: Devoted to Horticulture, Arboriculture and Rural Affairs; 1885 One of our nurserymen recently complained to the writer, of those people who continually wrote to his firm for advice. "Please send me - , and at the same time tell me how to treat them," is a sample of numerous requests. The profit on the whole transaction might be but a dollar or two. Only for the request, the order would be turned over to the proper clerk, and the proprietor could turn his attention to profitable work. But a clerk cannot answer such a letter. The proprietor must do it himself if it is done at all. He is a little nettled at the demand on his time which really renders the order valueless; but he remembers the business maxim that civility always pays in the end, and with the mental wish that the old fellow had sent his query to the Editor of the Gardeners Monthly instead of imposing on him, he sits down to his half-hour task, and as the letter goes into the post box, blandly smiles as he thinks of the many golden pieces his sacrifice of all profit will next year bring. Next spring the well remembered handwriting comes. Eagerly the envelope is torn apart, but in dismay he reads: "Not one of those - came to anything. As I followed exactly your instructions it proves the - were good for nothing, so I shall expect you to make them good to me without cost." He was at a loss to know whether he lost more by civility than he would by letting the customer go on the just-as-he-like plan. We cannot tell him; but this we do know, from experience in these chapters, that it is almost useless to teach a man gardening by rule or note, when he has not common sense to go along with the instruction. Not long since gentleman wrote, "my gardener, to whom I showed your 'Seasonable Hints,' says what you say about planting trees has been the cause of his great failure last year. He had not the year before been very successful in the trees I purchased. He pressed the earth in very carefully about the roots, but fully one-third died. I bought a hundred extra-fine evergreens of a nurseryman, and paid an extra price for some that had been several times transplanted. They had roots like moss. I never saw such a mass of fibres. I gave him your magazine and showed him where you said, hammer the earth in as tightly about the roots as you would a post; unless the earth is packed in tightly so that every root can touch the soil, the root might as well not be there. He replied that it was, in his expression, 'tarnal nonsense, guess he knowed how to plant a tree.' But remembering his failure the year before, I insisted; but sure enough, over half died, and the balance lived but a sickly life through the whole summer."
