CULTURE OF SEA-CALE. 
We seldom hear of the same tree producing equally fine fruit for 
even two years in succession. TKe Bumper, which produced the 
largest berry in 1832, weighing 30 dwts. 18 grs. (19 98); this year, 
1833, did not produce any berry weighing above 22 dwts. 5 grs.; 
and many other examples might be given. There are fewer new 
gooseberries going out this season than last.— Gard. Mag.

TO OBTAIN A SUPPLY OF YOUNG CARROTS ALL THE YEAR. 
BY MR. T. RUTGEE. 
In cases where young carrots are required all the year round, the 
following mode of culture will produce them. 
In the first of August, sow a crop of the short-horn kind in a cold 
frame, and a crop to succeed it, in the third week of August, in a 
cold frame, the latter of which will come in at least two months after 
the first. Early in January, sow a crop on a slow hotbed, under 
glass; and early in February, on a slow hotbed, under hoops and 
mats. In the succeeding months, sow occasionally in the open 
ground. 
The above brief directions are, of course, sufficient since it is un¬ 
necessary to enter into details about soil, thinning, &c. which every 
one conversant with gardening knows: but, perhaps, a question may 
arise as to the necessity of sowing in frame in the month of August. 
It must, therefore, be understood, that these crops are to serve through 
all the winter; and, therefore, it will be found that glass will be of 
essential service, as the weather grows cold; and not only glass, but 
a covering of mats will be necessary, during the night, in severe 
weather. One thing, however, must be attended to in the use of 
glass : namely, to be careful to give sufficient air at all times to keep 
the plants from getting drawn. — Gard. Mag. 
ARTICLE VIII.—ON THE CULTURE OF SEA-CALE. 
BY W. VV. CAPPEE, ESQ. 
Sea-Cale grows naturally on the sandy shores of Sussex and 
Hampshire, and in many other places round the coast of England. 
The buds of some of these plants, during the winter, are subject to 
be covered several inches deep with the drifted sand, so that in the
