This beautiful vine may be made to flower several times in the year, by the following simple treatment: After the first flowering is over, strip off all the leaves, and cut off all young and superfluous branches which have been formed, to within a few eyes of the stem, which causes it to throw out fresh leaves, and to flower again; after this bloom is over, the same process will produce a third bloom, late in the season. The plant does bloom naturally twice, and even thrice, but the flowers are so very weak and so few, that it is never worth notice; whereas, by the above simple process, an abundant succes-sion may be insured. These remarks will not apply to young plants, but only to those that are well established. By severe trimming, this plant may be grown as a bush.

(H. R. Robby, Virginia.)The oak shrub, growing about seven feet .high, and bearing a fine crop of acorns, and sometimes only two and a half feet in height, of which you have sent us the leaves, is the Quereus prinoides of Wildenow, and the Prinus chincapin of Michaux.

(Catawissa.) Yes; the Catawissa Raspberry is a "perpetual bearer" up to late frosts, and it produces abundantly; the flavor of the raspberry may thus be had all the season, but the berry is not of the highest character or aroma; we are, nevertheless, pleased with it, and consider its introduction a valuable acquisition; we say this, which we could not conscientiously say last year, after having grown it successfully.

T. S. Gold on the Kalmia was received, but we have not been able to find a place for if, which, however, we hope to do.
