I am much pleased with this for greens. It can be raised as Spinach is, or the spring sowing can be allowed to stand. Early in Fall cut off the summer growth, when it will shoot out new leaves, which can be cut until December. Should think if the roots were preserved and planted out in spring, they would give an early crop. In cutting care should be taken not to destroy the crowns.

[But the New Zealand Spinach is really in season long before you can get Lima Beans, Egg-Plant, Squash, etc It is in season quite as soon as spring sown Spinach, and continues until frost At our hotels, Spinach is in demand whenever it can be had. Many will eat it during the Summer in preference to early cabbage, and it is grown with much less trouble. On the whole, we think a place had better be given to the New Zealand Spinach. The Swiss Chard will make a valuable addition; this, like the other, is too little grown. The roots planted in spring soon run to seed. We hope some of our readers will give both a trial. - Ed].

Peter B. Mead, Esq. - Dear Sir: I have refrained saying any thing more in regard to the Delaware grape, as 1 knew an article was forthcoming which would set its nativity forever at rest; after which 1 shall make my comments on the characteristics of the Native and Foreign species and varieties of the vine. The original Delaware vine is now growing at Pottstown, Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, it having been transplanted there by the Prevoat family. The next Report of Transactions of the Fruit Growers' Society Of Eastern Pennsylvania will contain the full history of the foreign Delaware grape, which prejudice and lucre have so long striven to naturalize. Yours most respectfully, March 27, 1861. Wm. R. Prince.

[We shall wait patiently for the report alluded to, and your own comments on " the characteristics of the native and foreign species and varieties." In the meantime, we except to your remark, that "prejudice and lucre have long striven to naturalize " the Delaware grape. It is a slur on some of the best minds in the country. Suppose they retort upon you, that prejudice and lucre have sought to make it a foreign vine; do you or they thereby prove any thing as to the origin of the Delaware grape? Certainly not In all that we have said personally on this subject, we have imputed no unworthy motives to any body: we have carefully avoided all such irrelevancies. We have always recognized the fact, that a man is entitled to his honest convictions without having his motives impugned. A man's convictions may be wrong, but to question his honesty is not the best way to convince him of the fact. Do let us honestly try to get at the real facts in this matter. We are always open to conviction. - Ed].

The New York Pippin was introduced here by B. Bruington, Esq., from the nursery of J. Allen, Hardensburg, Ky. Mr. Allen writes me that his trees were propagated from scions cut from trees, the scions of which were cat by Jas. H. Davis from a tree in New York, about sixty years since, who grafted them at his farm on the Ohio River at the Yellow Banks.

Mr. Davis called it the New York Pippin. It is productive, a long keeper, and of fine appearance, trees in nursery, some injured by the winter of 1865 and 1856. I have selected eighty specimens that measured one bushel The variety has been grown here about twenty-five years. A. Williams.

[Any thing throwing light on fruits of doubtful origin is always welcome. It would seem, on the whole, that New York Pippin is the proper name for this apple. - Ed].
