Seite 109 - ... flower garden or pleasure grounds during the whole summer and autumn months, than beds or masses of the scarlet blooming geranium, of which the old horse shoe geranium is the original type. There are a great number of new and very beautiful sorts, and when they are properly grouped together on the lawn, they make a glorious display. There are few plants more easily grown, or that better repay the care of the cultivator. All the kinds require a light, rich soil, composed of loam, leaf mould or...
Seite 348 - A good test is to try the leaves after they have been gently simmering (boiling) for about an hour, and if the cellular matter does not easily rub off betwixt the finger and thumb beneath cold water, boil them again for a short time. When the fleshy matter is found to be sufficiently softened, rub them separately, but very gently, beneath cold water until the perfect skeleton is exposed. The skeletons at first are of a dirty white...
Seite 334 - Indians a subject of pleasing remembrance) they frequently assembled together in the woods, in some shady spot as nearly as possible similar to those where they used to meet their brother Miquon, and there lay all his ' words ' or speeches, with those of his descendants, on a blanket or clean piece of bark, and with great satisfaction go successively over the whole. This practice (which I have repeatedly witnessed) continued until the year 1780, when the...

Seite 334 - Penn, said they, when he treated with them, adopted this ancient mode of their ancestors, and convened them under a grove of shady trees, where the little birds on their boughs were warbling their sweet notes.
Seite 199 - An Italian architect mentions having seen at St, Nicholas, in Lorraine, a single plank of the wood of the walnut, 25 feet wide, upon which the Emperor Frederick III had given a sumptuous banquet. In the Baidar Valley, near Balaklava, in the Crimea, stands a walnut tree at least 1,000 years old. It yields annually from 80,000 to 100,000 nuts, and belongs to five Tartar families, who share its product equally.
Seite 348 - First dissolve four ounces of common washing soda in a quart of boiling water, then add two ounces of slaked quicklime, and boil for about fifteen minutes. Allow this solution to cool; afterwards pour off all the clear liquor into a clean saucepan. When the solution is at boiling-point, place the leaves carefully in the pan, and boil the whole together for an hour.
Seite 292 - ... servant to eat, as she was nice and fat. A few days after this she dashed herself from the bluffs near Fort Snelling, into the river. Her body was found just above the mouth of the Minnesota, and decently interred by the agent. The spring of 1826 was very backward. On the 20th of March snow fell to the depth of one or one and a half feet on a level, and drifted in heaps from six to fifteen feet in height. On the 5th of April, early in the day, there was a violent storm, and the ice was still...
Seite 254 - Bast, mats, twine, and other substances used in tying or covering up trees and plants, when treated in the same manner, are similarly preserved. At a recent meeting of a horticultural society in Berlin, wooden labels, thus treated, were shown, which had been constantly exposed to the weather during two years without being affected thereby.
Seite 254 - Thoroughly soak the pieces of wood in a strong solution of sulphate of iron ; then lay them, after they are dry, in lime water. This causes the formation of sulphate of lime, a very insoluble salt, in the wood. The rapid destruction of the labels by the weather is thus prevented.
