sists of 32 pages of the size of Harper’s Weekly, 
very nicely printed, and filled with most interesting 
matter, making one of the largest and handsomest

Vick’s Monthly Magazine, which not long since 
met with the appalling calamity of the death of its 
Editor-in chief, the lamented James Vick, so well and 
favorably known the world over, continues to make 
its monthly visits and is still one of the handsomest 
and freshest magazines published. A richly colored 
plate and numerous handsome engravings adorn 
each number. A noble monument to its illustrious 
founder.

THE SUPERB. 
Two very early new Red 
Raspberries have recently 
been introduced which, we 
judge from thier unusual 
merits, are entitled to spe¬

and the Harwell. Eminent 
horticulturists are taking

be disseminated by Mr. John 
Churchman of Burlington.

Celery. 
Kalamazoo, Michigan, having a fine soil 
adapted for celery, has become noted for 
that article. The Gazette of that city thus 
describes the culture practiced by the grow¬ 
ers there:—“Not alone from the increased 
area will there be a larger quantity of celery 
in after years, but there is being more rais¬ 
ed from the same land each year, as the 
gardeners become proficient in raising it, 
for it is comparatively a new industry for 
Kalamazoo. Instead of rows being 
six feet apart, as the books advise, they 
raising it successfully three feet apart, and 
instead of five or six inches apart in the
