 may often see u finer patch of potatoes, cabbages,

 proprietor more useful hints concerning ibeir cul- 

 tivation, than would be afforded by a visit to the

Give special heed to all accounts of adverse 

 experience in cultivation. It may save you time, 

 trouble, and disappointment in luture. Enthusi- 

 astic amateurs, coming into possession of new 

 varieties of plants which they are anxious to 

 increase, are very likely to commit mistakes, a 

 history of which will be useful to their neighbors. 

 As an example, a garden in this neighborhood 

 contains a few bushes of the Lawton or New Ro- 

 chello blackberry, planted a year ago last spring. 

 In the fond hope las the novelists say,) that the 

 plautB might be propagated by luyeriug, the zeal- 

 ous owner, last fall, bent down several canes, and 

 covered a portion of each with earth, leaving two 

 or three inches at the end exposed. In February, 

 Iho buried part of the canes was separated from 

 the other, as was supposed proper. It was curi- 

 ous, in Spring, to see tho fruit buds on the end 

 of tbe layers swell into blossom, and then tho 

 whole, flower and stalk, gradually dry up and die. 

 As the great June fro3t destroyed most of the 

 fruit that sot on tho bushes, the owner gained bis 

 experience al a small cost of berries.
