AUTUMN PLANriSG FRUiF TREES
It'd. .o,r. circumstances it is as vel TO
,,.., .om. kind. of fruit trees in the Autumn
a in the Spring.
n the GROUND has been well prepared, and 10
we'll drained, apple and pear trees may be plan
ted in the Autumn with ~ good results - II
planted in the Spring
Fruit trees ought not 70 be planted IN vel
ground at any time, especially in the Autump.
Iii sometimes more convenient to plant fruit
trees in the Autumn than in the Spring. Spring
il a hurryng time for farmers They seldom NJ
time in the Spring to give 50 much time and at
tenrion to setting out fruit trees a. 10 necessary
The result is the loss in the course OF the sum
,rer of many trees, if the work is done hurriedly
aud improperly.
When the hurry of the Autumn work is over,
the farmer can give bis time to laying out the
ground for his orchard, driving stakes at the
the points where the trees are 70 be set, then
having the memorandum of the trees he wants,
made out. go to the nursery, ii within his REACH
select his trees, see that they are labelled and
carefully taken up.
Nurserymen doing large business, and send
ing many trees long distance in the Autumn
are obliged if they would fill all their orders Ia
time 10 get them 10 their destination without inJn'
nv. To begin to take no trees and pack them be-
fore the leaves fall In that case the leaves
should be stripped of before the trees are pack
ed.
Trees that are taken up while still growing
freely, and transplsnted into the orchard, are
more liable to be injured during the winter than
trees that have stopped growing and have drop.
ped their leaves before being moved.
Purchasers residing near q nursery, and seiec.
ting their trees, can wait until the leaves have
fallen before they move them.
Persons who wish to receive their trees in the
Fall, but prefer to set them in the Spring, can
open the bundles and Z" heel the trees in"
This is done by opening trench deep enough
to receive the roots of the trees, placing them
separate, but near together, AM inclning them
at an angle OF about As degrees, placing the
earth vel. about the roots, and covering foot
or more Of the trunk. The trench should be
free from standing water.
At places where it is difficult to obtain trees
early in the Spring, it is better to receive them
in the Fan. and heel them in; then, in the
Spring. a. soon as the earth is in a suitable con.
ditiOn TO receive the trees, they can be set out
with more care than il received during blowing
and general planting time.
In our climate prefer to set stone fruit trees
in the Spring.
Grapes, currents, and all the small fruits, may
be transpl anted either in the Fall or Spring, as
suits the convenience of the planter.
In the flower garden, all the hardy bulbs
should now be in the ground, such as Tulips,
Narcissus, Hyscinth, CrOcus, Snow Drops, and
Crown Imperial ii.

AN INJURED VEssEL.-The schooner "La.
dy Ann" of Jersey City, was yesterday
the centre of attraction on the city wharves,
in consequence Of the injuries sustained by
her in passing the Confederate batteries
upon the Potomac river. A portion of the
cabin carried off, breach in her rail,
damages to mast and shrouds constituted
the injuries she received-an account of the
firing by the batteries will be found in an
other column.
The schooner was moored tc Shinn's
wharf, and during yesterday, it is not an
exaggeration to say, she was visited by
misunderstanding number of ladies.
All day long a crowd remained on the
wharf, and kept the vessels capt lin and men
busy .narrating the particulars of the disas-
ter.
The rumors mentioned and theories made
by the crowd would fill a cripple sheet"
butas twilight came down, the crowd began
to diminish until the vessel aud her injuries
were left "alone in their glory."
