Page 309 - ... from the direct sunlight will suffice. In very dry weather, water should be applied to the nursery bed or box either early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when the sun is not very hot. Seedlings are generally transplanted in the autumn or spring after a heavy rain or when the soil is quite moist to a considerable depth. The plants may be set out twelve to eighteen months from the time of sowing the seeds, although it does no harm to let them remain in the nursery...
Page 289 - ... of the root was in no degree affected by the application of the process, nor do I think that its germinating power was injured by the effect of the sulphate. The effect upon the beet-roots was similar to that produced upon the potatoes, and which would seem to be somewhat analogous to that of galvanizing metals, viz., protecting the substances from the effect of atmospheric agencies. I may add, that muriatic and other acids have been employed by me on other occasions with equal success, the only...
Page 414 - All experience shows that in every kind of created thing, be it man or beast, or bird, the mysterious principle, called life, remains during the whole period of existence what it was at first. If vitality is feeble in the beginning, so it remains. Weak parents produce weak children, and their children's children are weaker still, as imperial dynasties have sadly shown.
Page 250 - ... bursting of the pollen, the maturity of the stigma, and all which a little experience will detect, indicate the proper time for the operation, sunny or cloudy weather always affecting the duration of the period during which it may be successfully performed. " As to the proper time and season best adapted for such experiments, a treatise might be written ; but here a few remarks must suffice. " As for the season of the year, from early spring to midsummer I would account the best period ; but,...

Or, if it be desirable to impart the fragrance of a less handsome kind to another more handsome, I would make...
Page 252 - If it is desired to reproduce the larger, finer formed, or highly coloured bloom of a plant having a tall, straggling, or too robust a growth, or having too large, or too coarse foliage in a plant without these drawbacks, I need not suggest to select, in another species of the same family, a plant of an opposite character and properties — say, of dwarf compact growth, handsome foliage, and free-flowering habit ; and if such can be obtained, work with it, making the latter the seedbearer.
Page 289 - I procured some more potatoes, and also some beet-roots, the former being, as far as I could judge, all diseased. I divided the potatoes into three portions. One lot I placed in a vessel with a weak solution of sulphuric acid, and from thence I placed them in a solution of weak lime-water.
Page 289 - ... in the solution of lime and then in the acid were more nearly decomposed, — while those which had been treated in the mode first described remained as sound as when first taken in hand.
