find it good. Tills wholesome vegetable is getting much 

 into use ; where one bushel was sold in our market three 

 years since, ten are sold now. There is such a thing as pufF- 

 ing a good article a little too much, and we are not sure 

 but it will be so with the Tomato ; it bids fair to be blown 

 as high as Brandreth's pills, and a hundred other hum- 

 bugs, for the quacks are beginning to get the " concen- 

 trated extract of Tomatoes " as a panacea for a long list 

 of "aches and ails." 



It will probably be a very safe medicine, and may be 

 taken without endangering life. We have found the To- 

 mato to have a fine effect upon tile system, especially 

 when taken in a moderate quantity of two or three, well 

 cooked and seasoned, accompanied by a good cut of roast 

 beef and other et ceteras. 



Rohan Pot.\to. — Mr O. Holmes of Bedford, has shown 

 us a Rohan Potato, weighing 25 ounces. He stated 

 that he purchased of us in the spring one and a half 

 pounds, from which he has obtained Hn pounds, making 

 a yield at the rate of 66 bushgls from one planted. 



There is no doubt but that this is a valuable potato 

 for stock on accoimt of its extraordinary productive pro- 



fierties ; but as a pota'o for the table we do not think 

 ii"hly of it. It cannot be called more than second rate.

We are frequently asked, when is the most suitable 

 time for transplanting fruit trees. We would notify those 

 who intend to set out trees, that now is the time. After 

 a heavy autumnal frost, of all seasons, it is the best for 

 apples, pears, plums, and all other hardy fruit trees and 

 shrubs. 



The Report of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 

 for last week, is unavoidably omitted. It shall appear in 

 our next.
