In 1852, the Horticulturist promulgated the mode of using a liquid manure that was highly popular, and we may add, extremely satisfactory.

It consisted in simply dissolving half an ounce of sulphate of ammonia in a gallon of water. Weak as the solution seems to be, if plants are watered with it daily they will die, but used once a week, the most beneficial results are observed on roses, strawberries, early peas, fuchsias, dwarf pears, dahlias; in fact, it suits all plants. One pound will make a barrel. The praise then given to sulphate of ammonia, caused it to be much sought for, and many druggists now have it for sale.

John Feast's Catalogue of new and choice plants visits our table, from Baltimore, and contains the usual varieties of the beautiful and useful. We should be glad if Mr. Feast would put pen to paper sometimes, and tell us what is doing in Maryland. Did the Camellias - any of them - pass the last winter agreeably to themselves, as it is said in former volumes of this work they promised to do. Let us hear about all this, and give us "a Feast of fat things".
