Late Planting Strawberries,

The Rural Home has the following
1udlcious hints on this subject
We have more or less inquiries every
season about transplanting strawber-
ries in summer and autumn, the best
time, &C., &c. We would say that the
best time of all to make new planta-
tions is in the month of April, or in
late seasons, the early part of May.
But there are circumstances that will
Justify transplanting the latter part of
the season. If the owner of garden
has no bed of strawberries to bear next
summer, we would advise setting one
Just as soon as good plants can be OBJ
tanned, and the ground is moist.
There is great difficulty in procuring
plants for setting in August or Septem.
Der. Every grower of plants for mar
ket knows that to dig up any before
the season of growth is over, will
destroy many unless a good deal of
care is exercised. Every runner that
issues from the original plant, will
start leaves and strike root every few
inches in its growth, and continue to
do so, If not broken, until growth is
arrested by cold weather. After new
plants have formed along the runner.
1t soon ceases to depend upon the
original plant, but draws its sustenance
from the latest ones formed hence. if
we dig up the first roots, leaving two
or three of those most recently rooted
the runner will continue to grow and
strike roots, and none he DESTROYED by
by the digging. But this requires a
good deal OF care, and greatly aug
ments the cost of digging, so that nur.
seryInen must have much.higher prices
for their plants to compensate them
Tor their extra labor.
New plantations made in April if
well cared for, ought to be able TO fur
nish good strong plants this month.
and we would advise any reader who
wishes to plant bed for family use
this season, to prepare it well, immedi-
ately engage the plants, and when
a showery time comes, set them with
care. II everything should prove favor.
able, the plants would be well rooted
before winter, and perhaps bear half a
crop next summer If not transplant.
ed before the middle of September the
plants will not be likely TO become SO
deeply rooted as TO bear the heayings
OF the winter and spring frosts, should
they be unfavorable and the next sum-
mer's crop of berries would probably
be light.

orchard trees are invariably white or
crimson, or different shades of these
two colors combined. Those of the
cherry trees and the plum tree are con-

are also white, with browh or purple
anthers; those of the peach and apricot
are crimson; those of the apple tree
and ounce tree, when half expanded,
are crimson, changing to white or blush

the Hawthorne vary, according to their
species, which are numerous, from
white to pure crimson. Only few of
the orchard trees have been cultivated
for their flowers alone among these
we find a species of cherry with double
flowers, and a double towering al
mond, which are common in flower
beds. The Virginia crab apple is also
planted for the fragrance and beauty of
its flowers and if the Siberian species
had no material value, IL would be cul-
tivated for the beauty of its
fruit As, have frequently re-
marked, Nature Is not lavish of
those forms and hues that constitute
pure organic beauty. She displays
them very sparingly under ordinary
circumstances, that we may not be
wearied by their stimulus, and thereby
lose our susceptibility TO agreeable i'm
pressions from homely objects. But
at certain times and during very short
periods she seems to exert all her pow.
ers to fasclnafe the senses. 1t is when
in these moods that she wreathes the
trees with flowers for short time in
the spring, aud just before the coming
of winter illumines the forest with col.
ors as beautiful as they are evanescent.

Ripening Pears.

Josiah Hooper furnishes some excel
lent directions on picking and ripening
pears. After alluding to the common
test of ripeness for picking, namely,
gently raising the fruit to see il it will
readily detatch itself at the stem. he
directs that the specimens be placed
thinly and evenly on the floor of a cool
room, on a blanket previously spread.

A DanhnrY Excitement.

A horse attached TO the cart of a tin
peddler, while on Balmforth avenue,
on Friday, became startled by some
thing, and ran away at a speed that
was marvellous in tin-peddler's horse.
The wagon was old and rickety, and
the horse did not appear to be in a
better condition of repairs, but both
of them got through that avenue with
awful velocity, the former hopping its
spine, and shaking its head, and
throwing its heels uproariously,
while the latter reeled from one
side the road TO the other, bounding
from rut to rut, and threw an invoice
OF old junk and new tin ware at every
heave. One old lady was caught
around the neck by a pair of satinet
pants and nearly choked TO death, and
hoop skirt, badly damaged, descend
ed over the head of a man who was
telling a neighbor what his mother
rubbed on sprains, and so frightened
him that he fell over barrel and put
both of his ankles out OF JOINT, and was
bit on the shoulder by the dog of the
man he was trying TO benefit. The
horse hsving filled the air with boilers.

A Cruel Device.

A new and cruel invention at Long
Branch is the introduction of living
butterflies into the centerpieces OF
flowers which usually adorn the middle
of the table at the fashionable dinner
and supper parties. The poor insects
are fastened by a fine wire, which is
passed through their bodies and con.
cealed among the flowers. The con-
vulsive culver of the expanded wings,
as the tortured butterfly struggles in
its dying agonies, is supposed TO rep
resent charmingly the disgraceful wave
of the same above some freshly opened
flower.

Lemons and Silver

The native jewellers Of India never
touch silverware with any abrasive
substance. For all articles of the
kind, even the most delicate, the
method of cleaning is by rubbing brisk
ly with slices of juicy lemons. For
delicate jewelry the Indians cut large
lime nearly in hall, end insert the orna.
ment they then close up the halves
tightly, and put it away for few hours.
The articles are then removed, rinsed
III two or three waters, and consigned
to q saucepan of nearly boiling soap
suds, well stirred about, taken out,
again brushed, rinsed, and finally
dried on metal plate over hot water,
finishing the process by a little rub Of
wash-leather Gf smooth work. For
very old, neglected, and corroded silver,
the article is dipped, with a slow stir
ring motion, in q rather weak solution
of cyanide OF potassium but this pro-
cess requires care and practice, rs IL is
by dissolving of the dirty silver the
effect is so obtained. Green tamarind
pods containing oxiate of potash are
greater detergents of gold and silver
articles than lemons, and are much
more employed by the artisan for the
removal of oxides and fire marks.

The art of growing peaches aud nee
tarines under glass has been practiced
with much success for many years by
Thomas J. Pullen, of Hightstown, N.
j., and his father, the late Isaac Pull
len. In England, this is called orchard
house culture. 1t is difficult art, and
very few succeed in it with anything
like a profitable result. Mr.. Pullen,
however, every year exhibits and sells
a large quantity of magnificent fruit
from his forcing-houses. We yester-
day saw some specimens of Stenwick

Puilen, which we're really superb in
size and color. Also some Craword's
