 50 plants only of the White Alpine, or Monthly Ever- 

 aring Strawberry, without runners, recently raised in 

 ■ance by the Count de Vinde — the fruit is of good size, 

 d of fine flavor. The runners of the other monthly 

 ■awberries exhaust the parent plants, and prevent them 

 )m bearing fruit in any quantity. They should be plant- 

 in a shady place, in a rich soil, about 15 inches apart — 

 > much sun injures their fruiting. Though well calcu- 

 ,ed for garden culture for fruit, they also make a beau- 

 ul plant when cultivated in pots, for ornament only, as 

 3y are of vigorous growth, and are covered with flow- 

 i and fruit at the same time from June to December. — 

 le plants are potted, price 25 cents per plant.

Cesoerian Kail. 



The Subscriber has lately received, from London, a 

 small quantity of this very valuable and rare vegetable, 

 which, though little known in America, will probably 

 soon rank high in cultivation and esteem, there being no 

 species of vegetable in this country resembling this pro- 

 lific plant ; its peculiar qualities are, that, in winter, par- 

 ticularly in severe frosts and deep snows, when other 

 green fodder for cattle cannot be had, this plant, from its 

 elevation, (growing to four or five feet) and its natural 

 hardiness, yields abundant and successful supplies, which 

 is an important desideratum. The mode of using it for 

 cattle is, by cutting off the large leaves, as wanted ; when 

 a regular succession takes place continually through the 

 winter; very early in the spring, (previous to most other 

 vegetablesj it produces vast numbers of large delicious 

 sprouts for the table, equal in sweetness to asparagus ; so 

 that it may be said to produce two crops. Cows fed on 

 this plant give a greater quantity of milk, and the butter 

 is of a richer flavor than when fed on any other vegetable. 

 A matter, also, of great utility, is that of its comforting 

 and cheering qualities in the feeding ewes in the winter, 

 while suckling house-lambs. It should be sown in the 

 spring, broad cast and transplanted at the distance of about 

 two feet. When sown in July with turnips, it answers an 

 admirable purpose, as few crops are more subject to fail 

 than that of the turnip, whereas the Cesserian Kail (or 

 Cow Cabbage, more properly called) may be depended 

 on. It is so prolific and hardy that it will vegetate well in 

 almost any soil or climate, and prosper even in the shade of 

 fruit and other trees. — Price 124 cts per paper.
