Observations. — Up to the present (since the last report), the supplies 

 have been good and regular, but ten days or a fortnight later than last

 and vegetables are conducive to derangement of the stomach, and, conse- 

 quently, likely to lead to the present prevailing illness. The mischief 

 arising from this impression is very serious, and should be fearlessly met,

 early part of the season the growers obtained good prices for them ; but

 2. Knevett's New Seedling Pine, also a firm fine-flavoured fruit, and a good 

 bearer. 3. Faulkner's New Seedling Pine, a large-fruited variety, erect 

 in stalk, and of excellent flavour ; very closely resembling the old Carolina. 

 Raspberries, a good crop, and of excellent quality. Gooseberries, most
