עמוד 177 - As soon as the egg hatches, the little grub gnaws a hole in the crown of the apple, and soon buries itself in its substance ; and it is worthy of remark that the rind of the apple, as if to afford every facility to the destroyer, is thinner here than in any other part, and consequently more easily pierced. The apple most commonly attacked is the codlin, a large early sort, which ripens in July and August.
עמוד 345 - Those which lose the whole of their leaves at the approach of winter, and are called deciduous, begin, in fact, to cast their leaves within a few weeks after the commencement of their vernal growth ; but the mass of their foliage is not rejected till late in the season. Those, on the other hand, which are named evergreens, part with their leaves much more slowly ; retain them in health at the time when the leaves of other plants are perishing; and do not cast them till a new spring has commenced,...
עמוד 539 - It is, with a hard brush, dipped in a strong brine of common salt, as often as necessary, to insure each portion of the bark being moistened with it, to scrub the trunks and branches of his trees at least every second year. It most effectually destroys insects of all kinds, and moss; and the stimulating influence of the application and friction is productive of the most beneficial effects.
עמוד 523 - But, on the other hand, their cultivation is attended with peculiar difficulties. They are found to require a very high temperature, a dry atmosphere, and an extremely humid soil, while they are at the same time impatient of an undue supply of moisture, which causes spotting and sudden decay long before the fruit is matured.
עמוד 478 - The functions of the leaves appear to be a combination of those of the lungs and stomach of animals; they not only modify the food brought to them from the roots, so as to fit it for increasing the size of the parent plant, but they also absorb nourishment from the atmosphere. The sap, after elaboration in these organs, differs in every plant; though, as far as...
עמוד 131 - In wild and romantic scenes," says Whately, "may be introduced a ruined stone bridge, of which some arches may be still standing, and the loss of those which are fallen may be supplied by a few planks, with a rail, thrown over the vacancy. It is a picturesque object: it suits the situation; and the antiquity of the passage, the care taken to keep it still open, though the original building is decayed, the apparent necessity which thence results for a communication, give it an imposing air of reality.
עמוד 444 - The difference, however, in such a case, is so small that it is not worth taking into account in a horticultural point of view. But as these numbers can only be ascertained by calculation it is more convenient to reckon by the degrees of dryness, bearing in mind that the dryness of the air is indicated by the difference between the temperature of the air and of the dew-point. Thus, if the ring of dew is formed as soon as ether is applied, and only...
עמוד 391 - ... of a part. The white wax and the fat are to be first melted, and then the sealing-wax is to be added gradually in small pieces, the mixture being kept constantly stirred ; and lastly, the honey must be put in just before taking it off the fire. It should be poured hot into paper or tin moulds, and kept slightly agitated till it begins to congeal.
עמוד 280 - Cuttings. — The time for striking these extends from February to August. The young shoots that spring from the bulbs make the best cuttings, and are the most sure to grow; but the young tops taken off at a joint will strike root and form small bulbs even so late as August, and often are more sure to grow in the spring following, if kept in small pots, than roots that have been planted out late. If the shoots on the old bulbs are numerous, or there appear many buds ready to start, the shoots that...
