MY GARDEN WHAT FRUITS WERE CULTIVATED 75 



bushels and twenty-three quarts were sold for 

 the sum of one hundred and eight dollars and 

 forty-seven cents. There was also the ^ame 

 unstinted use of them for preserving anJ the 

 table in the family, and the same promiscuous 

 filling of mouths at all times and seasons ; for 

 who, brought up in the country, could pass a 

 Blackcap bush, purple with fruit, and keep his 

 hands in his pockets?
