ORCH.AR DIS.

lthas become proverbial, that 'swhere
an old orchard has stood, young one
will not thrive" This has been so
frequently reiterated, that many of
our good agriculturists have subscrib-
ed to the opinion, without taking the
trouble to examine into it, and have ae-
cordingly neglected a very important
source of profit and convenience.
1t is fact, much to be regretted, that
the cultivation of fruit Trees in this
country, was much more attended to,
half century since, than at; the pres
ent time--consequently, with our in.
creased population, fruit has become
scarce, and belief almost positive ex-
lists, that fruit trees will not thrive on
old land. This is question which,
needs serious consideration, that our.
yeomanry may no longer take hypothe-
Sis for fact when but one experiment.
would dispel the delusion.
We, however,, admit the fact, that
trees planted on. new land thrive I'M,

grew to great size, while those plant
ed on landthat had been much cultivated
and worn, have been very tardy in their
growth, and as yet are'but dwarfs in
comparison to the former. Now we
will endeayour to explain the reason
OF this admission, which we trust will
at the same time throw some light on
the art of cultivating fruit trees.
lst.-Trees planted so or 100 years
since, were generally set on. new land,
highly enriched by the decaying Of veg
etable productions, which had; been ac-
cumulating, perhaps from time. imme-
mortal. The richness Of the soil would,
without doubt, enable the tree to grow
rapidly, and very abundantly explains
the reason of their monstrous growth.

an old one, has not this vegetable ma

nure to lend the aidthat its predecessor
had; consequently, it is slow in its
growth, small and unproductive when
grown, becomes messy, dwindles and
dies, or is neglected as unworthy of the
husbandman's attention; and, the cater
pillar destroys what the axe has spared.
Our climate andl soil are every way
calculated fer the production of fruit
In its perfection and abundance, when
only assisted by the fostering hand of
aft-and it is unreasonable to anticipate
a harvest without preyious cultivation.
in-the early days Of our country, the earth
needed only the seed to be sown to pro-
duce rich harvest for its bosom was
enriched and softened by natural ma
nure. The case is now different--it

land thus impoverished !? The farmer
who thinks of raising a good crop of
corn, knows well the necessity of soft
enlne, manuring, and frequently stirring
the earth~-on this depends his success.
Suppose he should say, with. regard to
has corn, as he does in fact of his trees,
my great grandfather planted without
hoemg or manuring, and was sure of
the increase, and | will do likewise,
would he not bestyIed mailman. or
atool? Let an husbandman bestow the
same care on an orchard, that he does
on field OF corn, and he will be blessed
with the same abundant harvest.
To him whe,doubts the possibility Of
making a good orchard on old land.
these few simple rules are enjoined, and
we doubt not, upon experiment. his
happy conversion to a truth that will
increase his wealth.
l. Be sure that the roots of the
. tree be not set below the soil. If the
soil be shallow, bright from another
place, and throw it round the tree. in n
sufficient circumference for the roots to,
grow in.
2. Prune the superAuous limbs and.
branches, and keep the bark smooth and.
clear from moss.
3. Suffer no grass to grow within
ten feet OF the tree, and twice in the
year, spring and fall, loosen the earth
in this circumference, and mix into it
full wheeibarrow load of rich manure.
The author is happy to state that a.
few years experiment upon this plan,
on the ground of an old orchard, has
convinced him that the principle oppos-
ed in this paper is without foundation.

Otto Of Roses.-As the rose, in all its
varieties, grows in great abundance in
our country, and as the essential oil
which is extracted from it in the east is
very valuable and precious; one of the
most exquisite ofperfumes, the following
recipe for making what is termed the
otto of roses may not be unacceptable to
such of your readers as are fond of ex.
periments., twill be found. upon trial.
to answer the purpose intended, and is.
believe, very similar TO the mode pursu-
ed in India to obtain the delicious es-
senee which all so highly appreciate.
A large glazed earthen, or stone iaE.
or aclean wooden cask, must be filled
with the leaves of the flowers, corolIa.
which should previously be- carefully
freed from all seeds, stalks, and dirt
On these leaves purespring water (pump
water wlllanswer but not so well must
be poured till they are covered. The
vessel must then be set in, the sun from
sunrise till sunset, when itshould be TAX
en- in for the night This must be con-
tinued for seven days in succession. In
three or four days after the first expos-
ure, anumber of particles of oily matter.
of fine yellow colour, WILDE observed
to float on the surface, and. in two or
three days more this matter will form
into ascum, which is the otto of roses.
1t can be takenup by some cotton tied to
the end OF stick, and squeezed with the
fingers into asmall vial which should be
well stopped. This must be repeated
till all the essential oil which floats on
the surface is removed, By this simple
and inexpensive process may be obtain
ed by almost every family, as much. Of
this exquisite essence as may be neces-
sary for uses. 1t is at least worth the
trial and am sure, when that trial is
made, the success will be more than e.
quivalent'for the labour. This mode. too.
is'vastly preferable to the one given in
the'Asiatick Researches, both for econ
omy and simplicity, and equally effectu-
al and productive. As the process 1
have mentioned is SO easy and simple
that all can try it, the essential oil thus
obtained may be calculated on as perfect
ly pure and genuine, which is not always
the case with that we buy in the shops
for in order to increase the quantity,
the manufacturers of this article in the
east have a practice Of mixing with the
roses sometimes the raspings of sandal
wood, and at others a sweet-scented
grass, which gives to the-essence a clear
green colour. w
