it is called Succatask. Plant as soon as the ground becomes 



in April or May, in rows four feet asunder, and in hills two fee*

44. KALE. Brassica oleracea, var. ', sabellica, subvar. 

 Casarean Kale, or Cow Cabbage. Green Curled Scotch Kale 

 The Caesarean kale, in congenial soils and climates, is a gigantic 



plant of the cabbage tribe ; a most profitable article for the food of 

 cows 



45. PEAS. Pisum satimim. 



1. Bis/iop's Early Dioarf. 1 foot. 



2. RusselVs New Early Dwarf Prolific. 1 foot 



3. Dicarf Blue Imperial. 1 feet. 



4. Dicarf Blue Prussian. 2% feet. 



5. Dicarf Cimeter.

8. Woodford's New Tall Prolific. 5 feet. 



9. Dwarf Sugar (eatable pods.) 3 feet. 



10. Tall Sugar, (eatable pods.) 4 feet. 



11. Egg Pea. 



12. Spanish Morotto. 13. Cedo Nulli. 



Sow early peas as soon as the ground will admit, in March. A 

 quart of Early Dwarf peas will sow a row of 300 feet, rows three 

 feet asunder. Nos. 1 and 2 are reputed the finest of the early kinds. 

 Nos. 3 and 5 are very productive, and of delicious flavor. Nos. 6 

 and 7 are most superior late kinds for flavor and productiveness. 

 No. 8 is of a fine green color, and bears well a long time. Nos. 9 and 

 10, or the Sugar or String peas, are fine, sweet, and productive 

 kinds, the pods and peas being of delicious flavor. The Egg pea 

 and Spanish Morotto are famous for their hardiness and productive- 

 ness. The tall species of peas are sustained by brush-wood set in 

 the rows. Some sow them in small circles ; as they rise, they sup- 

 port each other. No. 13 is new, and remarkably early. 



46. PUMPKINS. Cucurbita pepo. 



1. Connecticut. 2. Mammoth. 3. Harrison Pumpkin. 



Plant the seeds in April or May, in very rich ground ; two plants 

 to a square rod are sufficient. Pumpkins are valuable food for the 

 table, either baked or stewed ; and valuable for fodder for fattening 

 cattle or swine. Great crops are raised in cornfields with Indian 

 corn, by dropping a seed in every eighth hill. The seeds produce 

 a valuable oil on expression. The Mammoth pumpkin has weighed 

 226 pounds. The Harrison pumpkin is another new variety, and 

 probably one of the most productive known. In 1840, and of this 

 variety, E. H. Derby, Esq., of South Fields, in Salem, raised a crop, 

 which produced at the rate of over 50,000 pounds to the acre. 



PUMPKIN SUGAR. According to an article contained in Lou- 

 don's Gardener's Magazine, a method of making sugar from 

 pumpkins has been discovered by M. L. Hoffman, in Hungary, 

 and the right secured to him by patent. In conjunction with 

 M. Devay, he had established a small manufactory at Zamdor, 

 where 4000 pounds of sugar had been made, some of which had
