A man in Ohio wrote to the editor of his
horticultural paper, asking, "What are the
most advantageous additions to dried grasses
for winter ornaments?" The editor replied,
" Acroclinium roseum, A. alba, Gomphrena
clobosa carnea." When the rural man read
this he fairly boiled with rage, and immcd-
lately sent note to the editor, ordering his
paper discontinued. He said that no editor
who swore in this way just because he was
asked a simple question should have his sup
port.

THE H0oIBREUK SYSTEM OF FRUIT
CULTURE.

A year or two ago, Los Mondss published an
account Of what was called the Hooibreuk
process Of fruit culture, 50 named from its
sIiscoverer, an ignorant peasant on the Dam
ubc. This consists essentially, IN training
the branches Of fruit-trecs. vines, 60, so as
to give them an inclination below the hori-
zontal line; In which case there Is q great in
crease in the fertility Of the branch which,
In fact, throws out leaves and fruit buds in an
extraordinary manner. An essential condi-
tion Of the process consists in having the line
of the branch nearly straight as, II curved,
only the buds at the top of the arc are devel-
oped, while the rest remain in their original
condition.
Duchesne- Thoureau, by whom the infor-
nation was first communication to Les Mon
dss, was of the opinion that the increased
vigor of the branch thus treated was caused
by its being made to assume the condition of
syphon, the longer end downward, thus pro-
ducing much greater flow of sap. In one
instance he took four vines planted and trim
med them SO as to have one stem to each, ar
ranging these vertically, obliquely upward,
horizontally and obliquely downward. He
then cut OF the limbs alike, and found that
from the limb inclined downward more than
three times as much fruit was produced as
from the others.
In moro recent communication to Lea
Mondes Dutchesne- Thourcau maintains the
continued success of the process, and states
that it has been Introduced with great profit
into many parts of France, and that all that is
necessary to accomplish the result is to give to
the branches the gentle declination already re-
ferrcd to the only inconvenience likely tore
suit from the extended application of the
method being to make frnit too abundant,
and thus measurably reduced the profits.
Duchesne- Thoureau advises that at least
half of the fruit buds developed in the
branches in this way should be destroyed, so
that the remainder may acquire a full devel-
opment.

EXPENSIVE FUNERALS One OF the
curiosities of New York is the mania
among very poor people for expensive
funerals. The Star states that fune.
re! took place few days ,since, from O
shanty in Ninety-Sixth street, at which
there was a grand hearse, containing
handsomely.mounted coffin, and some
thirty well.appointed hacks. It is cal
culated that the funeral cost 5000, while
the shanty from which it proceeded was
not worth 5000.
The old soldiers Of the First Empire
held their annual banquet in raris on
March 20. The traditional loaf OF army
bread was on the table. adorned with o
branch-this time entirely budless-of
the celebrated chestnut tree of 20 Mars.
OF the 5000 who were alive in 1859.
scarcely hundred remain. Toasts were
drunk to the memory of the great
Emperor. to the Army of Austerlitz. TO
Marchal De MacMahon, and to the re-.
surrection of the glory of the country.
