The Holme: J. Anderson, Esq.—This is one of those

growing beautifully on the rockwork, and the Ferns 
Are quite home in s situation. The 
Collection of Orchids being very young, aud man 
of them imported specimens of this season, they are 
Rot in very luxuriant condition, but still sufficiently so 
to show that the house is admirably adapted for their 
growth, Adjoining the Orchid house is a span-roofed 
Camellia house containing some neat plants in excellent 
health, and further on a Heath house stocked with a 
number of plants in admirable condition. A small 
Mery, used principally for fruiting Vines in pots, in 
which Mr, Smith, the gardener here, is an adept, a 
Propagating house and some pits, constitute the remain- 
ing portion of the glass, all of which is sheet, in large 
Squares, and escaped the late hail-storm without injury. 
n the front of these houses there is a large piece o: 
8round intended for a flower-garden, and at the bottom 
of it a neat rustic Moss house. The grounds were in 
excellent condition, and the place altogether is one of 
€ most interesting we know of in the neighbourhood 
of London.— W. P. A., Brooklands, Aug. 10.

the season, the exhibition was a fair one. Collections

Pince, and Co., of Exeter, sent an admirable specimen 
of Cyrtoceras reflexum, together with the beautiful 
Phalrenopsis _ amabilis—the Queen of all the Orchids ; 
and in the miscellaneous collection of plants contributed 
by Mrs. Lawrence, of Ealing Park, we remarked the

Corn Meal.—Common Journey, or Johnny Cake.—

nois, brother of the “ Martyr," with the remark, * Try

milk, half a pint of molasses or treacle, a desert spoon- 
ful of salt, an ounce or more of beef suet shred fine. 
Stir the materials well together, tie them in a cloth, 
allowing room for the pudding to swell one-eighth 
larger, and boil it six or eight hours. The longer it 
boils the better. It may be made without suet. 
Dumplins.—Into one quart of meal, stir one pint of 
boiling water with salt. Wet the bands in eold water, 
and make them into smooth balls, two or three inches 
in diameter. Immerse in boiling water, and cook over 
a steady fire twenty or thirty minutes. If you choose, 
put a few berries, a peach, or part of an apple, in the 
centre of each dumpling. Superior Dumpling.—To 
one pint of sour milk with carbonate of soda, add one 
quart of meal and a large spoonful of flour; roll out 
with flour and put in apple, and cook as before. Green 
Corn Pudding.—' Take eighteen ears of green corn ; 
split the kernels lengthwise of the ear with a sharp 
knife, then with a case-knife serape the corn from the 
cob, leaving the hulls on the cob ; mix it with three or 
four quarts of rich sweet milk; add four eggs well 
beaten ; two tablespoonsful of sugar ; salt to the taste ; 
bake it three hours. To be eaten hot, with butter. 
Homony.—This article is considered a great delicacy 
throughout the southern states, and is seen on almost 
every breakfast table. Itis prepared thus: The corn 
must be ground not quite into meal, Let the broken 
grains be about the size of a pin’s head. Then sift the 
flour from it through a fine hair sieve. Next shake the 
grains in the sieve, so as to make the hulls or bran rise 
to the top, when it can be removed by the hand. The 
grains must then be washed in several waters, and the 
; | light articles, which rise to the surface, poured off with 
the water through the fingers, so as to prevent the 
eseape of the grains. Have a pot or boiler ready on the 
fire with water in it ; add the grains at the rate of one 
pint to two pints of water. Boil it briskly about twenty 
minutes, taking off the scum and occasionally stirring it. 
When the homony has thoroughly soaked up the water, 
take the boiler off the fire, cover it, and place it near, or on 
a less heated part of, the fire, and allow it to soak there 
about ten minutes. It may be eaten with milk, butter, 
treacle, or sugar, The flour or meal sifted out can be 
used to make bread or cakes. [The editor of the

when it scarcely boils, remove it, put in the salt and

as may be convenient, ina hot oven, three hours. When 
it has baked an hour or more, pour over the pudding 
one gill or one half-pint of milk ; this will soften the 
crust, and form a delicious whey. Boiled Pudding.—

of food is idered a luxury throughout most of the 
American states, from the Ist of October to the Ist of 
Apri. During this period it is found almost every- 
where, at breakfast, on the most frugal and the most 
sumptuous tables. When eaten warm, with butter, 
cannot be equalled by any other griddle-cake whatever. 
The buck-wheat flour, put up in small casks in Philadel-

over night. If it should be sour in the morning, put in 
a little carbonate of soda; fry them the same as any 
griddle-cakes. Leave enough of the batter to leaven the 
next mess. To be eaten with butter, molasses, or sugar.

| Winter Crops.—Every attention should at this period 
| be given to these in the way of high cultivation, in every 
| respect. Where sufficient labour is provided at all 
| times, not a weed should be allowed to show its head. 
Where unfortunately they bave done so, through 
pressure of business, I would strongly advise the use of 
the spade, instead of the hoe. This plan I have pur- 
sued for years, and nothing could induce me to return 
to the hoe, as a general policy, in cleaning the kitchen 
garden. Besides it is assuredly as economical in the 
first instance, excepting in very hot and dry weather; 
for unless the hoeing is succeeded by a raking (a double 
operation), the hoeing will in general have little effect. 
Moreover the benefits in the way of aeration are very 
considerable, especially in effete soils, such as the 
majority of our kitchen gardens. All the Brassica
