Excerpt from The Canadian Horticulturist, Vol. 2: July, 1879 Flowers have their ins and cuts as well as politicians. To-day the Camellia is all the rage - every one votes for the Camellia - no lady thinks of attending an evening party without a Camellia in her hair, or so numerous in her boquet as to be a conspicuous feature; in short the Camellia holds the reins of power. But a change comes over the public mind. Gradually this beautiful flower loses its grasp of the popular favor, and now it is out, and the Rose is in! N o lady may now appear without a rose in her hair; no gentleman without a rose bud in his button-hole. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Canadian Horticulturist, Vol. 2: March, 1879 With regard to the Russian apples, Barry stated that none of them were as valuable and as high flavored as our well known American varieties. The lled Astracan, Duchess of Oldenburg and Alexander were among the best of them. Their value consisted in the hardiness of the trees, enabling them to endure the rigours of very cold climates, but they would not be grown where the higher flavored American sorts succeeded. The following varieties of plum were named as being valuable for planting for market, Reine Claude de Bavay, Lombard, Bradshaw, Coe's Golden Drop, Hudson River Purple Egg, Monroe Gage, and Shropshire Damson. Several very interesting papers were read, to which we hope to refer at some future time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Canadian Horticulturist, Vol. 2: December, 1879 But this is digressing. I commenced to' write about Zinnias. I wished to let the readers of the horticulturist know that I have this year succeeded in growing splendid Zinnias, and to tell them how it was done. A good Zinnia is a beautiful flower, as double as a Dahlia, flowering much earlier, and continues till cut down by frost. But and the but in this case is a very serious one - it is so difficult to get good ones. I have tried them a good many years, and found the majority Of them little better than ox daisies, so I concluded to try them no more, and purposely omitted them when ordering seeds, but Mr. Vick thought I ought to have them, and so sent me a.

Excerpt from The Canadian Horticulturist, Vol. 2: September, 1879 Pruning is an ancient art, and has been practiced in the far east from times immemorial. Scripture, too, has its scriptural illustrations from the practice, and asserts that every husbandman purgeth the tree, but more especially the vine. It strikes one as odd that a fruit tree requires all this care, while forest and other trees are allowed to develop much as nature dictates.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Canadian Horticulturist, Vol. 2: May, 1879 As might be supposed, plants, shrubs and trees have been studied by men of intelligence and observation from the earliest times to the present day. In the Holy Scriptures we are told that Solomon spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall and. A greater than Solomon exhorted His followers to consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. Among the ancient Greeks we find that Hippocrates, about the year bc. 409, introduced an enlightened system of medical study, connected with the study of plants. Aristotle, about B. C. 350, wrote a learned work on plants; and his idisciple, Theophrastus, about B. C. 300, wrote on the same subject, and described nearly 500 species. The principal botanical writers among the Romans are Pliny the Elder, and Dioscorides, who both flourished towards the end of the first cen tury of the Christian era. In the materia medica of Dioscorides about 700 plants are described, and the greater part of our old English herba lists are made up from his writings.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Canadian Horticulturist, Vol. 2: June, 1879 A paragraph or two on apples especially adapted to amateur culture may not be out of place in the horticulturist. The lists presented at the winter meeting of the Fruit Growers' Association, at Hamilton, on the most profitable market varieties, have created quite a stir among apple growers. A short list of the finer varieties of apples, more par ticularly suited for home use, will find an echo in the minds of a great many amateur Canadian cultivators. In such cultivation, the matter of hardiness in bearing carriage, need not be taken into account. Domestic use is the great desideratum, and the highest flavored sorts may therefore be recommended without detriment to the grower.

Excerpt from The Canadian Horticulturist, Vol. 2: Published by Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario; The October, 1879 This year I have had a surprise, and an agreeable one too. I have cultivated two kinds of tomatoes that I had never before tried, viz: the Trophy and Hathaway's Excelsior. These are of a more regular shape, have both a thicker pulp, and a thick fleshy lining adhering to the skin something like that of 'a musk-melon, which gives them that firmness which is called in the catalogues very solid. The flavor of the Trophy is good, but that of the Excelsior is better; yes, superior beyond all expectation. It is as much superior to the common Large Red as a Lombard is superior to a wild plum. It is not so large or productive as the Trophy, nor have I found it any earlier. I obtained the seed of Jas. Vick, of Rochester, 'who describes it in his catalogue as of excellent quality every way - the best tomato I have ever grown, and it quite justifies the description. This fruit is evidently improving, plums will have to get out of the way or it will catch up to them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Canadian Horticulturist, Vol. 2: Published by the Fruit Growers' Association of Ontario; February, 1879 Now it is a somewhat difficult task to choose, even from this string of fruitful subjects, a topic that may be at once interesting and instructive to the many ripe readers of that very excellent magazine. However, having thought the matter over to some extent, and having spent some considerable amount of wonderment as to what I could contribute that might be of service to the cause, I have at length stumbled upon a short note respecting the American Dewberry, advertised and styled Bartle's American Dewberry.
