more recent Novelty from France is tlie 
Spa nisi l Monstrous, the fruit of which 
grows about six inches long, and two inch¬ 
es thick, with very thick meat and but little j 
peppery Favor. The latest Novelty in the j 
mango line however, is the New Golden 
Dawn of which we present an elegant en¬ 
graving true to life. In productiveness 
this new mango surpasses any variety we 
ever grew, single plants this season ripen¬ 
ing from 12 to 24 fruits. In color it is a 
bright golden yellow, very brilliant and 
handsome, especially showy when mixed 
with red sorts, by way of contrast. But 
the quality which distinguishes it from all j 
others, its crowning point of excellence, is 
the fact that it is entirely exempt from 
SPANISH MONSTROUS. 
fiery flavor—even the seeds and pulp may 
be chewed without detecting the slightest 
smarty taste. Ladies who have had troub¬ 
le with burned hands, in stuffing so-called 
sweet mangoes, will appreciate this trait in 
their character. Our excellent plate was 
drawn from life, and represents only an 
average plant; many could have been se¬ 
lected having a third mure fruits in num¬ 
ber. A gardener of our acquaintance, the 
past season, set 450 plants of the Golden 
Dawn on six rods of ground and sold by 
actual count 8150 mangoes at one dollar per 
100, netting him $81 50 which is $2230 per 
acre, not a bad showing for those who 
think gardening doesn't pay. 
TKK CAULIFLOWER 
is a vegetable which is very profitably 
grown in some sections, and is always high¬ 
ly esteemed, being the most dainty and de¬ 
licious of the whole cabbage family, to 
which it properly belongs. For very ear¬ 
liest use, nothing can compare with the 
Early Snowball and Small-Leafed Erfurt. 
The Lackawanna is a large second early 
variety, which has given great satisfaction 
wherever grown. Lenormand's Short Stem¬ 
med is the in >st popular for later use. For 
family garden we would recommend a trial 
of the different varieties mixed, so they 
will mature at different times. 
EGG PLANTS 
are not so universally grown as some veg¬ 
etables but are highly esteemed by many. 
These plants are almost tropical in their na¬ 
ture and require about the same treatment 
as Peppers. It will require constant watch- 
fullness to protect them from the Colo ado 
Beetles, but this care will likely be repaid 
in increased price,, the market never being 
over stocked. The varieties are quite nu¬ 
merous. For market we would recommend 
the New York Purple, for family use mixed 
seeds. 
With the exception of cabbages, perhaps, 
no veget able crop is of more importance 
than
