more so thaii the best crop of potatoes that can be grown 

 at the hisrhest rates. " Take an interest in the business, 

 hate weeds, be up with the lark, and free with elbow greese," 

 is our motto. 



Plant in May, September, October, on good ground, 

 deeply worked and well manured. Vegetable manure 

 (mucK, rotted turf, wood soil, ushes, etc.), is best. Bone 

 dust is excellent. 



RA8PBERRIE8. 



This fruit comes just after Strawberries, and when pro- 

 perly cultivated is quite profitable. Mr. H. White, of Water- 

 loo, N. Y., says that he has an acre and a half of Seneca 

 Black Caps, and has sold 3,500 quarts, none less than ten 

 cents, and since the 31st of July, at 12 cents. Rev. H. H. 

 Doolittle, of Oaks Corners, N. Y., a veteran in Raspberry 

 culture, says that he averages 2,000 quarts to the acre, and 

 no ordinary farm crops equal his profits, even when the 

 price of Raspberries is the lowest. Messrs. Purdy & John- 

 son, who are devoted to small fruit culture, say : "Raspber- 

 ries have also paid us well ; the Doolittle, Miami, Seneca, 

 Davidson's Thornless, and Golden Cap, yielding at the rate 

 of sixty to seventj-five bushels per acre, while the Mammoth 

 Cluster produces one hundred bushels to the acre. The 

 fruit has averaged us 10 cents per quart, delivered at 

 Palmyra. 



Mr. Jas. Brown, of Montreal, writes : — " We believe no 

 kind of fruit will yield a more prolific or better paying 

 crop than the raspberry, especially in Canada, its being 

 subject to so few enemies in the shape of insects or grub, 

 and, after ten years' experience, the plants have never once 

 been winter-kuled with us."

CIRRANTS. 



This fruit comes partly with the Raspberry, but follows 

 it for several weeks. Indeed, none of the small fruit will 

 remain so long upon the bushes without injury as the Cur- 

 rant, and since the introduction of the newer varieties, and 

 the easy methoJ.s of destroying the currant worm by the
