Apples from Dr. James Weed. — Friend Weed 

 of Mu.scatiiie, has our tlianUs for a a 1)ox of the 

 Porter. They were large and fine. The Porter is 

 a special favorite of the Dr.'s, and he grows it to 

 great perfection. Mr. James Smith after many 

 years' experience 'las come to regard tlie Porter 

 with great favor. The Porter should be more 

 generally' grown and better known than it has 

 been. 



Roots .\nd IIehhs. In Boston arc three whole- 

 sale dealers in roots and herbs, exclusively, who do 

 a business of over f'200,()0(). These roots come 

 mostly from North Carolina and Tennessee, where 

 tliey are gathered by the poor whites and freedmen 

 from the mountains, and traded to the stores in the 

 villages, for the necessaries of life. They are then 

 sent forward by these "middle men" to the great 

 markets of the country, and in New York and Bos- 

 ton about IS.") tons of the diti'erent varieties are an- 

 nually received. 



Virginia Pears. — Of the last annual fair of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society, held a few 

 days since, a Boston paper says : " The pear show 

 was good. The most notable were 6 Duchesse 

 D'Angoulenie, grown by G. F. B. Leighton, of 

 Norfolk, Va., weighing severally 205^ ozs., 24, 23J^, 

 25^, 22^, 22J!^, and 233^ ozs. ; aggregate 140 ozs. or 

 8^ lbs." 



Colusa Melons.— The Marysville Appeal says 

 that six watermelons grown in Colusa county were 

 recently weighed and aggregated as follows : — 54, 

 57, 57, 58, GO, fil. The Appml thinks Colusa is enti- 

 tled to the banner. 



Prunino in September. — The London Gar- 

 dener's Chronicle .states that vines in vineries, 

 pruned in September while the leaves are on, will 

 have the succeeding crop ripen fifteen to twenty 

 days earlier than other vines pruned in November, 

 all other circumstances being equal.
