A basket of these raspberries was received, but in a state that does not allow of description, being utterly destroyed before they arrived. We welcome everything that promises well, but especially are we looking out for an improvement in the raspberry: to make it known, we copy the following from Mr. Bagley's circular:

Bagley's Perpetual Raspberries #1

This variety, originating in New Haven, Conn., has been cultivated four years, and has proved itself one of the best raspberries for market and private gardens. It is perfectly hardy, and needs no protection during the wiuter. The stalks are about four feet high, and form a beautiful branching bush that supports itself, and needs no stakes or training, and is entirely smooth, and free from prickers. The old stalks bear a bountiful crop of delicious fruit during the month of July, when the new canes commence bearing, and continue to bear until frost; the same stalk bears another crop the following year. The flavor of the berries is as racy as that of wild raspberries, and the variety, on this account as well as for its hardiness, has rapidly come into favor. It may be procured at Bridgeman's, No. 876 Broadway, New York. Jeunesse.
