How New Varieties of Balbs Are Originated.

In his report to the Commissioners of Agricul-
ture, Mr.. A. s. Welch, of Iowa, who was detailed
by Nh. Loring to visit the agricultural schools of
Europe, describes the manner in which bulbs
are propagated at Client, Belgium. He says:
GAS the processes for the different species are
much the same, l will only describe that for get
ting new hyacinths. Some new varieties are OBJ
tanned from sprouts, but by far the greater num-
Der are from seedlings by crossing two old vari-
cites. The process is as follows: When the
flower of the mother plant is almost ready to
open the pollen is removed by cutting out the
anthers. 1t is then allowed to come
to maturity. When fully blown, pollen from
the male plant is applied to the stigma of the
female, either with q fine camels hair brush,
and this is the better way, or by the fingers.
This operation must be performed in bright sun
shine during dry weather. The plant thus fer
tilted must be kept free from rain until the
seed is set; an umbrella-like covering is here
used to protect it. II must also be completely
isolated FROM other hyacinths, 80 that no other
pollen can reach it. Both plants are always
grown in the open air, as they are more apt in
this way, to be strong and in a naturally healthy
condition. The seed resulting from the cross is
planted, and when the bulb produces flowers its
value is determined. 1t generally takes ten
years to get three bulbs of a new variety, and at
least twenty five years before sufficient bulbs
are obtained to begin their SALE"

A CHRISTMAS PUDDING.

we give this week a christmas pud-
ding which the ediuess of the LADIES
JOURNAL can recommend, having numer-
Gus times prepared such a pudding for
Christmas feast. This is the regular
plum pudding of England:
Two tumbIers of fine bread crumbs,
one tumbler Of sifted flour, half pound
Of raisins, seeded and cut in half the
same of currants, picked and dried;
large piece Of citron, cut into strips, chop
half a pound of dried beef suet; soak
several hours in a tumbler of brandy or
wine, tablespoonful of mace and CHINA
mon mixed, add to the batter one beaten
nutmeg, two grated lemon, removing the
seeds, ten eggs we'll beaten with tum-
bier of sugar. Pour upon the bread
crumbs two tumblers of rich milk, very
hot; mash it and mix the ingredients,
first Touring the fruit well, or it will fall
to the bottom; stir the pudding well,
scald your pudding bag lay it in bowl
flour it thickly; pour in the batter tie
well and follow the directions for boiling.
Serve with a rich sauce.
This pudding will require six hours
constant boiling; leave room in your
pudding bag for the pudding to swell.
Put a piece of dough (made by stirring
little flour and water together) directly
over the place where the cloth is tied,
and tie above the dough with a piece of
broad tape, so as to make long loop,
run a flat stick through this loop and sus-
pend the bag in a pot of boiling water
place saucer in the bottom of the pot
that the bag may not burn. Keep the
bag completely immersed in water while
boiling the pudding. Before turning the
pudding out Of the bag when it has boiled
the number Of hours stated, lay the bag
for few minutes in cold water. This
pudding may be placed in the bag and
rebolled for a second desert, if any be
left over.
