Early Vanack

This sort does not head as firm as most others, but is very sweet and delicious, and has also the good property of being fit for use whilst quite young.' Plant two feet by eighteen inches asunder. These three, last described, may be sown early in February, in cold frames, and, when large enough, planted into the open ground. They will thns succeed the Early York, and continue to head until the savoys take their place in the fall.

Early Washington

Nearly as early as Early Dwarf. Vines not as strong. Pods about same.

Early Washington Cherry

Who can tell us something of a cherry under this name? It has been described to us as a very early ripening fruit, larger than Early Purple Guigne, but more the form of Black Tartarian.

Early White Cabbage Or Butter

Yellowish green, does not head close, but a good sort for forcing.

Early Yellow

This is the earliest Plum in our collection. It is not very popular, on account of its small size; but among a collection of a dozen sorts, we regard it as worthy of a place. Fruit - small, obovate, largest at the apex, with a shallow suture on one side.

Stalk - quarter to half an inch long, slender. Skin pale yellow, covered with a pretty thick whitish bloom.

Flesh - pale-yellow, juicy, sweet, not high-flavored, but pleasant; parts freely from the stone, which is long and narrow. Tree - a good, erect grower, with gray, woolly shoots. Leaves - small, oval. Bears young and abundantly. Ripe here 1st of August; in some seasons, latter end of July; last season, about the 25th of July. The Precoce de Bergthold is said to be as early, and better. We have not yet fruited it.

Earth Worms In Pots

These are exceedingly troublesome to window gardeners, and often neither tobacco water nor lime water will kill them. We observed that another correspondent of Mr. Vick tried a new remedy, and was more successful. "At last, I put ten drops of carbolic acid in a pint of water, and poured that on the earth in the pots, and it acted like a charm, killed all the worms, and the plants began to improve at once. It has been three weeks since it was applied, and they are all in a nice growing condition, and I think that is time enough to show what it will do."

Easter Flower

The flowers displayed in the churches of New York during Easter day, were magnificently costly. Hundreds of dollars were expended in private houses, and thousands in the churches. In a list of over one hundred Protestant, Episcopal and Catholic churches on Easter Sunday, not less than $20,000 were expended for flowers alone. The displays at Christmas and New Years, are very fine, but not quite as much effort is spent as on Easter occasions. It is one of the most beautiful, pure and tasteful forms of celebration.

Eastern Arbor Vitaes (Biota Orient Alls)

Of these there are also many beautiful varieties; but as a class they are not as hardy as our native sorts. Still some of them are worthy of a place even in the choicest collections.

The Chinese Golden Arbor vitas is a very pretty variety, with fine foliage of a light yellowish green. Another variety, known as the "Elegant" (B, elegantissima), has the branchlets tipped with golden yellow: Mel-den's Arbor vitae (B. Meldensis) has very fine soft leaves, similar to the Tom Thumb, but not quite as deep and rich in color. In winter, unless protected from the sun, the leaves change to a brown or reddish color.
