IS 
Early Amber.—In this variety we have a plant that is des¬ 
tined to prove of immense value to the northern portion 
of our country. It has been tested in Minnesota for se-v 
eral years past. A large grower gives the following state¬ 
ment to the Slate Commissioner. Planted on the 27th of 
May, on new land, it was ripe before frost. Its sacchrine 
qualities are of the first order, and its earliness highly 
recomends it to the whole country. It is not easily blown 
down, and usually grows eleven and twelve feet high with 
us. When planted between the 1st and 10th of May the 
seed almost invariably ripens, thus giving the advantage 
of a double crop in one year from one planting. If skill¬ 
fully handled it will yield some 20 or 25 bushels of seed 
and 150 or more gallons of fine syrup per acre All kinds 
of farm stock are fond of the seed; when ground and mix¬ 
ed with bran it makes a good heavy feed for horses. W 
have seen Sugar produced from this variety equal to ^ 
very best coffee sugars in the market. By mail 40c;

TOMATO. 
[Fit, PommccT Amour Gita, Liebesapfcl .] 
One ounce will produce about 1200 plants. 
Culture. — lomatoes do best on light warm, not over 
rich soil, and success depends upon securing a rapid, vig¬ 
orous^ unchecked growth during the early part of the sea¬ 
son. Sow in hot-bed during March, or from six to eight 
weeks before they can be set out of doors; when the plant* 
four leaves, transplant into shallow boxes, setting them four 
or five inches apart; give plenty of air, and endeavor to se¬ 
cure a vigorous, but steady and hcnlthy growth, so that at 
the time of setting in the open ground they will be strong 
and stocky, about as broad as high. A slight check while 
the plants are small, will matterially diminish their produc¬ 
tiveness set out of doors soon as danger from severe frosts 
is over, but before doing so, harden off the plants by grad¬ 
ually exposing them to the night air and the withdrawal of 
water until the wood becomes hard and the leaves thick 
and of a dark green color. Transplant carefully, and culti¬ 
vate well as long as the vines will permit. The fruit is im¬ 
proved in quality if the vines are tied to a trellis or to stake*

TURNIP. 
[Fr, N.ivet. Ger, Rueben ] 
One ounce will sow 150 feet of drill, 2 lbs wiil sow :in sicre. 
Culture. _Sow in drills fourteen inches apart, and half an inch deep, 
r they may be sown broadcast, but in either case be sure to have the 
round freshly dug. Keep them perfectly free from weeds, and when the 
ottoms begin to enlarge, brush,away the eartlt from the roots to the 
depth of half an inch or more and give them a light dressing of wood 
ashes. This is the surest inode of obtaining fair and smooth turnips in old 
gardens, where they are almost sure to grow wormy if the earth is allow¬ 
ed to remain in contact with the roots. For the Spring and Summer crops 
it is important to get them started very early so that they may have time 
to "row to sufficient size before hot weather, when they will soon become 
tough and strong.
