snuNnNEss OF SEEDS.

Goblet, whose writings aud investiga
tons on the subject OF gardening have gen
orally been considered orthodox, gives the
following rules for the choice Of seeds;-
The way 10 try seed is this: Put small
quantity Of i, in iUkeudrm water, aud lei the
water De four or five inches deep. A mug,
or basin, will DO, but large iumbler & lass Is
best; for then you can see the bottom IS
well as top. Some seeos, such as those OF
cabbage, radsh and turuip, will It good, go
10 the bottom at once. Cucumber, mellon,
lettuce aud epdiye, and many others, require
a few minutes. Parsulp ami carrot aud all
tue winged seeds, require TO be worked rs
your fingers, 10 a little water, aud well vet
led before you pu, them into the glass and
the carrot should be rubbed to get OFT pat
Of the hairs which would otherwise act as
feathers to a duck. The seed OF beet aud
maugel wur,zel, are 10 case or she'll
Tue rough things We sow are not the seeds,
but the cases 10 which the seeds are con.
taiued, each case containing FROM one to
five seeds.
Therefore the trial by water as 10 these
two seeds, is not conclusive though, If the
seed be very good if there be four or five 10
a case, shell and all will sink in the water
alter being 10 the glass an hour. And a.
/, is q natter Of such great importance
that every seed should grow, IN cas-
where the plants stand so far apart as gap.
IN rows Of beet and mauecl wuEizsl are s.
very injurious, the best way IS 10 reject all
, after beng put into warm water, and 70
matung there 40 hour.

TRIMMING ORCHARDS.

This 10 a very necessary and important
operation. Large apples Of same sort the
arc better than small ores, not only on &C
count Of the SIZE, bot tho favor IL more per.

grow well exposed to the sun end air, Our
rule IS, the higher the color, the higher the

the branches become crowded and proper
