writes that Burpee’s Bush Lima has “ The 
been a failure with him for two years on so swee' 
account of short seasons, while llender- ing a n 
son’s Bush Lima (Sieva) has done exceed- whole 
ingly well for the past four years. In money.’ 
his climate hard frosts are liable as early “ CoN 
as September 1. things. 
We fancy that the fault lies not in the 
bean, but in the climate. Burpee’s Bush “ One 
matures with the Large Pole Lima of betweei 
which it is a variety. Henderson’s only nil 
matures 10 days earlier and is therefore “ Lei 
better adapted for short seasons. we cor 
Mr. Heard says further that he plant- 
ed six bushes of the Industry gooseberry “ An 
two years ago. They were planted on it tak( 
dry, exposed land and were killed root friend t 
and branch the first winter. Oq such perfect, 
land we would prefer to plant early in 
the spring rather than in late fall unless 
ample protection were given. But we 
doubt if the Industry will thrive any¬ 
where upon dry, exposed land. The 
Industry mildews except in places favor¬ 
able to gooseberry culture. The Colum¬ 
bus, we doubt not, will, ere long, take 
its place. 
How much time do improved imple¬ 
ments save to a lazy farmer ? 
It would be interesting and we dare 
say, immensely instructive if it could 
be accurately or even approximately 
ascertained just how many of the dis¬ 
gruntled farmers of the country are lazy 
farmers. 
Not the least of the many attractions 
of Central Park is the gray squirrels. 
The park is alive with them. The writer 
has often counted, while standing or sit¬ 
ting in one place, from one to two dozen, 
some rollicking in the grass, some in trees, 
climbing up or down the trunks or 
branches, and often making leaps of .*50 
feet or more, apparently never with the 
slightest injury to themselves. Most of 
them are very tame. If one has nuts or 
any favorite food, they will not only come 
to take it from the hand, but they will 
creep up one’s clothes, sit in the lap and 
eat as long as one chooses to feed them, 
often, however, running away to bury 
the nuts, and returning for a new supply. 
The police force of the Park is numer¬ 
ous and apparently efficient. The 
public is not allowed to pluck a leaf or 
twig ; not allc wed to walk on the grass 
except as portions are thrown open as 
“commons”; not allowed to frighten or 
to interfere with the animals in any way; 
and the penalties for any disregard of 
these rules are severe enough to insure a 
general obedience. But there are evil¬ 
doers here as elsewhere. During the 
holidavs the writer was in a butcher
