Natqr.l and Distorted Orowth. True taste cultivates an admiration of beautiful natural forms; falso taste distorts these into artifleial and gro tesque concerts. A tree possessing nat. ural and graceful symmetry cannot but be pleasing to a true and cultivated judgment; out or sheared into the shape of a stiff oone, a .hay-cook, or a peacock or bear, It becomes at once an object of distorted unfitness. It is, however, quite common, all through the country, to see trees, and especially evergreens, tortured into unnatural forms. Most coinon of all is to trim the trunk up to a bare sten five or six feet or more high, giving the appear ance of trees on stlits, instead of at. lowing the graceful.sweep at the lower branches on the surface of the lawn. Others, again, are sheared back into the appearance of a solid nines, and where a number of trees are thus treat el, the door-yard appears as if filled with a number (f small hay-stacks. Such practices may be fitly comparod to pinching thb human body out of shape, as pract:ced by semi-barbarom people. If the trees threaten to grow to large, and any cutting back is re. quired, let it be done with a knife and not with shears, so as to preserve, ik some degree it least, the natural frec ou:line. In soie land cape gardening, arched galtways are represented and conimended, where trees are bent out of shape and shoared into tin natural forms. I an arch of venduro in ust, b had, let it be lie made of natural cllnb ers and twiners, so as to partly but not wholly conceal a prol)erly and simply formed structure of iron or wood. iii this way there would be no incongru. ous distortion and obvious unitnoss ol material to Intended puirpose. WVI: have seen at. flower shows il-direeteI attempts to build temples of roses, antd sometimes they have beon nuade intc the shapes of human beings, eaigles, llags, etc. Tho mind at once revolts at the sight of solid and IIassive struc tures attempted with so fragile and delicato materials as flowers. Nearly as unfit Is the attempt to build solid gateway arches of delicate foliage. There is another pracice, much less objec-lonable, but still carried too far the abundant planting of weeping trees. These are mostly unnatural to some extent, and if employed at all, tihe most graceful should be selected, and sparingly Introduced. They some tines.assist in the variety of a sky out line. Many of then came in the first place from an unnatural twist of' a branch, propagated and continued by grafting. We aire glad to witness very atteimpt at Improving and ornamllantig the grounds which stirrounds a ioile, Oven II' thie8e tittempts may deviatO con siderably I rom the rules of criticisni but most pleasing of all are neat, finl. ished, and tastofully planted grounds with as much ot natural and graceful beauty as can be brought together wit] so much simplicity that no display 01 oddity or twisted concelt CLn1 1ind I place. .Purity and lilt,ess shoul%d ih obvious, and if much care and skill have been used in the mraagemenit ani keeping they should riot be seen by the eye of the spectator.

G iOwiYa Hoitse-RADISH.-I( we look through our marketsand see the ohun ky stui sold for hoi4e-radish, it is clear that not one in a'hundred knows how to grow it. Iorse-radish well grown is as profitablo as any garden crop, but we think there is not much prolit in the scrubby stuif referred to. To have good horse-radish, a rather heavy soil should be chosen, but by no means wet, though one which gardeners would call damp and cool will be by no means objected to. It cannot very well be made too rich, and if subsolling the ground Is todind favor it will stiroly be in favor with this orop. Now tile ob ject In raising good horse-radish Is to have long. clean, straight roots, and good culture Is to get these. In raising horse-radish every pleco of the root what a little of the crown grows. G0n erlly pieces an inch or so long arc set just beneath the soll, and one or more buds start tip to make crowns with leaves, and others go down to make a root or roots. These are then forky or twisted and give the wretched roots we see. The proper way is to make holes with a dibble, postapitde or crowbar so as to let the small pieces which are to inake plants go down a foot or more. hen till in the holes and wait. The result is thas in a couple of months a sprout will start. upwards to the stir tace, and this sprout in time becomes the straight, eit a-i root we have spoken about. The second season after plant ing they will be in marketable coidi tion, and should be all taken up and marketed that season anti a new plain tatio.1 mado lit like manner on the same ground. From the pleces let in the groind by the digging of the 01(l roots many will conic up, and theie are gen crally relied on to'form the succeetilng crops but, these sprouts should bt hoed off its they Como id be regarded as notllng but weeds, willeh everythhig that com1ies up whe WI it is not wanted is. In setting Out, the Iowi must be mado about e4n.41teen or twenty inches apart, and the pie oes to form roots be planted about four or six inches apart. The distance, however, between the row is to be regulated by the metho(I of cil t.ure. Where the plow is used to clear up between the rows they must. be wider thaii WieI growni as a garden crop. The richness of the ground will aLto regulate the distance to put the sets apart.

PLANTING POTAToNs.-Nearly every rtile which has b3en commonly 1111 down needs som modifleation accord Ilg to cIrcumstances, and differlent (x-. perinIenters often come to partial or coiiililtinlg conclusions as external Il iluences may have varied. For exam p)1, in the use or large and small seed, and of cut and uneu0(it potatoes, the widest differehce may restult from con trolling causes. In ieirly all condi tions it is better to cut the tubers, and Lbhus obtain fewer Ltalks in the hilli than by whole planting. But, if the plitnt Ing be don late, and the sol happens to be unusually try in the time of it droitth, a cuit piotato maiiy dr'y uip andi fail to grow, at a time when t,he im per'vioums skin of a wh'lole One will pr'e vent wtlz ing, and suilieient moIstutre and1( niourlsh ment be all'orded from IL to s!trt a goodi growth. Thie ciOtitinuial rule may theretore be laid down, to laniIt w hole potatoes 01n13 in a dry soil, or ini time of dry weather, which all good fatrmers will know how to avoitd. For simnlatr results from small or large seeds vary m''nuchi with ci rcuimstanes.
