Vegetables.—The stock of potatoes kept on hand is exceedingly limited; many severe losses have already occurred where large quantities have been stored. This uncertainty in regard to their keeping induces dealers to be careful in their purchases. The loss to the potato crop in Europe has been immense, and must cause much distress among the poor, who rely almost wholly upon this vegetable for their principal food. Eastports of the best quality command our highest quotations; sweet are scarce, and with the advance of the season command a higher price. Onions remain the same with the exception of whites, which from the small supply, command higher prices. No Salsify has yet been brought in. Cabbages are tolerably abundant, with the exception of Reds, which are scarce. Brocolis are about gone, but there is now a good supply of Cauliflowers. Spinach in consequence of the open season, is abundant and cheap. Crookneck Squashes continue cheap and plentiful, and marrows are yet abundant, but with a slight advance, since our last. Parsley now commands higher prices. Fruit. Owing to the very warm season, Apples and Pears have ripened off much earlier than usual. Baldwins appear as ripe at this time as they usually do by the 1st of February; and the same may be said of other sorts. In consequence of thus early ripening, the stock will all need picking over; prices have therefore advanced for those of good quality. Some sorts enumerated are nearly all gone, and of others, such as the Hubbardston Nonsuch, and Spitzemberg, there is only a limited supply; good Sweets are also scarce. Of Pears, there are but few kinds remaining; occasionally some small lots of choice ones are brought in, such as the Glout Morceau, Winter Nelis, &c. Quinces are nearly all gone. Cranberries continue to advance; some small parcels of a very superior quality have retailed at the very high price of eighteen cents and three-quarters per quart; thus showing the value of cultivation even to the cranberry. Berberries are all gone. A few Tomatoes remain, but of inferior quality. Malaga grapes are abundant and good, but other sorts are done for the season. Oranges are very scarce, and in demand. Chestnuts are still a shade lower, but Walnuts are firmer at a slight advance.-Yours, M. T., Boston, Nov. 29th, 1845. HORTICULTURAL MEMORANDA FOR DECEMBER. FRUIT DEPARTMENT. Grape Vines will have ripened their wood by this time, and may now be pruned for next season. If young vines are wanted, the shoots may be cut into pieces about a foot long, and placed away in a cool cellar or other place, where there is no danger of their starting into growth. Tie the shoots loosely to the trellis, and be careful to cut away all eyes not wanted to form spurs the next season. Operations out of doors are now at an end for the winter, and little else can be done in the fruit department than to bring forward grapes, peaches, &c., in pots, in the greenhouse or hothouse. FLOWER DEPARTMENT. Camellias will now be opening their flowers, and will need regular supplies of water at the root, and occasional syringing over the foliage, to keep them free from dust. A weak solution of Guano will be beneficial, if applied about once a month. Roses taken up last month and potted, and placed in frames, or in the greenhouse, should now be properly pruned in, cutting out all smail and weak shoots, leaving only such as will break strong, and produce good flowers. Young plants struck from cuttings may be potted off. Cuttings may be yet put in. Cinerarias will now need a final shift into the pots into which they are to flower. Pelargoniums growing freely may now be shifted into larger size pots. Chrysanthemums done blooming may now have their tops cut off and the plants removed to a frame or cool cellar. Fuchsias done blooming may now be headed down and placed away in a cool dry place, until February or March. Japan Lilies should now be re-potted, if fine large specimens are wanted. The seeds may now be planted. Verbenas may now be propagated from cuttings, if a stock is wanted. Cactuses should now be sparingly watered, in order to ripen their wood, and throw them into bloom. Calceolarias will require repotting again if the plants are growing freely. Tree peonies may now be brought into the house for early flowering. Oxalis Bowiei and hirta, done blooming, may now be placed away on a dry shelf. Greenhouse plants of all kinds may be propagated now, and such as require it, shifted, and others top-dressed and neatly tied up to stakes. Schizanthuses should be now shifted into larger pots, and be carefully wa tered. Hyacinths may yet be potted for forcing. Heaths may now be propagated from cuttings. Pimeleas may be propagated safely at this season. Plants in frames should be aired, when the weather is warm and fine. INDEX TO THE PLANTS ENUMERATED IN VOLUME XI. (VOLUME I., NEW SERIES.)
