 Plantations at the Tropics, we have satisfactory proofs of a good Kitchen 

 Garden at home. 



12. Eden — The first abode of the living — Mount Auburn, the last resting 

 place of the dead. If the Tree of Life sprung from the soil of the one, Im- 

 mortality shall rise from the dust of the other.

 and we hope, in this country, they will be co-eternal.

 tion — The rival labor of Hercules in the Hesperian Garden, rewarded with 

 golden apples and the fruits of immortality.

 The man of science may plant, the man of wealth may water, but the man

 Horticulture — then he had his worst fall in the Garden — now he has his 

 best Garden in the Fall.

 use his own language, a nut of the sweetest kernel, and happily easy to
