vegetables, but the more risk and trouble in 
raising them, the more pleasure and confidence 
in one’s self when he sees the vines covered 
with green and ripe fruit, Wliat a pleasure it 
is to see one’s hopes fully realized! How much 
good it does us to point out our garden to the 
“Old Polks,’’ when perhaps they laughed and 
madefuu of our boxes of dirt sitting upon the 
window-sill, calling them “trash." I find the 
“Old Folks" become suddenly very forgetful 
(aud perhaps eating some of the fruit), not¬ 
withstanding their discouraging remarks of 
the past. 
M. Nki.uk Baldwin:—I suppose that pota¬ 
toes are really among the most important of 
garden vegetables as they are generally found 
on every farmer’s table at least twice every 
day; but for some reason I especially care to 
grow melons and tomatoes more than anything 
else, aud am generally successful with them. 
T enjoy cultivating other vegetables, such as 
radishes, asparagus, peas, beans and cabbages.

American Wonder Pea, Nasturtiums for flowers

YOUTHS’ HORTICULTURAL CLUB

PROFESSOR 
NINTH REGULAR DISCUSSION 
TOPIC:—WIIAT ARE THE MOST INTERESTING 
VEGETABLES TO GROW IN THE GAR¬ 
DEN. AND WHY ? 
Uncle Mark: —The subject selected for 
discussion is such a broad one that wo must 
expect quite a variety of opinions, but for that 
very reason it ought to lie the more interesting 
to ns. Surely it will lie a dry mooting if we 
all prefer cabbages, and all give the same rea¬ 
son why we do. But such is not to be ex¬ 
pected. Uncle Mark would have been pleased 
to have had a larger attendance; but he sup¬ 
poses that those to be heard from make up in 
quality what the meeting lacks in numbers. 
IV alter Pranks: —It is hard for me to tell 
which vegetables I like best, for I like nearly 
all, but I will speak of a few J like rather bet¬ 
ter than the others. To begin with, Hike 
onions because they almost always pay well; 
they were very cheap last Fall, and are not 
much higher tills Spring at our market. But 
this is exceptional. 1 like them, too, because 
I generally have success with them. I prefer 
the Red Wethersfield to all other varieties, on 
account, of its large size, good flavor (though 
rather sharp), fine color aud form and keeping 
qualities. The Yellow Danvers is also very 
good. I like asparagus because it starts so 
early in the season and gives us something 
green to eat. It could be made a paying crop, 
too, though I have never sold any. I like cab¬ 
bage because it generally pavs well and is of 
easy cultivation, though the worms arc' trou¬ 
blesome, but Persiau Insect Powder, mixed 
with several parts flour, will destroy them. Of 
beans, I like the Limas better than any other 
variety. 
George B. Fox:— I think the most interest¬ 
ing vegetables for the garden are lettuce, peas, 
tomatoes and celery. Lettuce is one of our 
earliest vegetables, and needs a free, rich soil 
and thorough cultivation. The heading sorts 
are not raised much in my locality. Black 
Seeded Simpson is the most popular. Peas I 
consider oue of the most delicious vegetables. 
For early sorts the soil should be warm and 
well sheltered. 1 think all wrinkled peas are 
superior to the smooth sorts. American Won¬ 
der and Champion of England are the stand¬ 
ards. Tomatoes I think are the best of all. 
They do best, on a light, warm and not over 
rich soil, and grow better if fastened to a trel¬ 
lis. The Acme and Perfection arc best. Cel¬ 
ery is very desirable in Winter when other 
greens are not obtainable. New Golden-heart 
is a good variety. 
[Uncle M ark: —If the heading varieties of 
lettuce are not much grown in your locality 
would it not 1x3 a good plan for you to try and 
grow some. Good heads of lettuce sell readi¬ 
ly in the Bpring at five cents apiece. Grow 
the plants inboxes in the house and trans¬ 
plant out of doors in the Spring as early as 
possible, aud no doubt, you will get lettuce 
much earlier than auy of your neighbors. Let¬ 
tuce is divided into two classes; the cabbage, 
with round head aud broad, spreading leaves; 
and the cos, with long head and erect, narrow 
leaves. The cabbage varieties are the rich¬ 
est and most tender, and the cos the most 
crisp, though many do not like the cos unless 
blanched. 
Anna L. Farr: —The most interesting vege¬ 
tables to me are the Hubbard Bquash aud cel¬ 
ery, for the reason that the squash.soon covers 
the ground, keeps out the weeds aud holds the 
moisture, the leavesserving as a kind of mulch 
to the roots; it is also a bountiful producer. I 
always put small pieces of board around the 
squash hills to entrap the bugs, and the pur¬ 
suit of this small game renders it somewhat in¬ 
teresting. The cultivation of celery is also of 
much interest, because of the constant care re¬ 
quired; the planting, watering, transplanting, 
hilling-up, etc., keeping oue rather busy.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE, 
IT. 8. Consulate. Manohestkr, End., Nov. 8,1882. 
Gentlemen:—Since writing you of the great bene- 
fit I had derived from taking ‘‘Bop Hitters.” I gave a 
friend a bottle, who had been suffering much from 
dyspepsia and sluggish liver, and tlie Change was 
marvelous: he appeared another being altogether. 
He had tried several other remedies without any ben¬ 
efit. I could mime over n dozen other miraculous 
cures. Arthur C. Hall, Consular Clerk. 
Doubtless many of the Cousins know a 
great deal more about sti’awherries and their 
culture than 1 do, but there may be some who 
have never tricsl raising them, so perhaps 
these few hints may be of some benefit, to 
them. I will briefly describe the way in which 
1 planted my little patch, aud also the manner 
of cultivation. 1 planted mine in the Fall, 
though they may be planted in the Spring, if 
desired. Strawberries do very well in auy 
rich soil that produces good corn aud potatoes. 
For a small patch like mine, to be cultivated 
with the hoe, the rows should be two feet 
apart in the row; for a larger patch, to be 
cultivated with the plow or cultivator, the 
rows should be about four feet apart. 
Late in the Fall cover the patch with litter 
of some kind, to keep the plants from being in¬ 
jured by freezing; the litter cannot bo too 
deep between the rows, but it should not be 
very thick over the plants themselves; from 
two to three inches of coarse straw is the best 
covering. When growth commences the next 
Spring, the straw should be removed. 1 think 
the best plan is to only take the straw oft’ from 
the plants, and leave it between the rows as a 
mulch; this keeps the berries from falling in 
the dirt, aud being filled with sand; it pre¬ 
vents the soil from getting dried or hardened 
in hot weather, and it also keeps down the 
weeds. The straw can be removed when cul¬ 
tivation is necessary; this is not very often 
needed, however, as the straw keeps the soil in 
a very good condition. 
The “runners" should frequently be cut, off 
for if they are allowed to grow into long lines, 
they take so much nourishment from the plant., 
that it is not as strong as it would otherwise 
be, and the berries naturally are not as large. 
Keep the plants free from runners; keep the 
soil iu as good a condition as possible, and if 
you do not care to keep the straw on the patch 
in the Summer, it will lie necessary to give it 
frequent hoeings in order to keep the soil In a 
loose condition, aud to keep down the weeds. 
Be sure to cover the bed well, late in the Fall, 
soasto keep the plants from freezing, during 
the Winter. 
There are many kinds of uew strawberries 
that are good for market or home use, but I 
will only name a few good varieties. The 
Sharpless, is a very large, sweet light red 
variety of tine quality; the Bidwell is a 
large, bright, glossy crimson berry, very 
productive, firm in texture, and delicious 
in flavor. Cumberland Triumph is a magnifi¬ 
cent variety; berries immense, perfect in 
form, arid of fine flavor. Crescent Seedling 
—the most, productive of all varieties. Chas. 
Downing, fruit medium, to large, deep scarlet 
fine flavor, and productive. 
There are many other new varieties of great 
merit, but I think these few varieties, are 
some of the best. The strawberry requires 
considerable care and cultivation, but it is 
sure to repay you for all your labor, not only 
by its market value, but also by the pleasure 
it affords you to have plenty of this delicious 
fruit for the table. Those who liufe never 
tried raising strawberries I would advise to 
try a little patch this Spring, or next Fall; se¬ 
lect a few plants of some good variety, give 
them thorough and careful attention, read up 
ou the subject, learn the best methods of cul¬ 
tivation, and I know you will be amply re¬ 
paid for all your trouble, by having plenty of 
the most delicious berry in cultivation,—the 
strawberry. Walter Franks. 
[We feel sure that this very Interesting letter 
will be much appreciated by the cousins, and 
trust that many will udopt the suggestion ami 
raise a plot of strawberries.— Uncle Mark.]

Iclue lo cure the same, In consequence of which my

enormous rains, had In bear greai lornieuts when 
Inking nourishment, had sleepless nights, but nolle of 
the medicines was of the least use to me, Now, In
