Fifth

Be prepared for a good many disappointments - bad seasons, late rains, at times unprofitable markets, sometimes untrustworthy agents. Choose a farm near a good thriving town and work that up. Market your own fruit yourself as far as possible.

Fifth #1

Care should be taken to keep the wiper properly adjusted to the bottom knife. The wiper, or revolving cutter, should be adjusted so as to lightly touch the head knife. If this rule is observed the knives will rarely if ever need sharpening.

The above rules are simple and easily to be Understood; if followed, the work of mowing a lawn (with one of our modern lawn mowers) would be light; an immense amount of trouble and expense would be saved, and we would become as noted for our beautiful and well kept lawns, in a few years, as England now is.

Figaro

A beautiful mottled variety; flower very full, and fine spike; close and extra habit.

Filberts

We know of no good reason why filberts will not bear in lat. 84° 80'. You must either have a barren sort or mismanage them in some way.

Filberts #1

It is stated that fresh filberts imported from Kent, in England, with.their heavy green husks on, are selling in our Broadway fruit shops, for 80 cents per lb. This raises a query why we cannot as well grow them here; our climate is certainly as well adapted to the shrub, as could be desired - and in the Middle States, especially, the peach districts of the Delaware Peninsula, the filberts would be a natural success, making thrifty growth, and abundant fruitage. Our nut bearing trees deserve better attention.

A Fine Blackberry Crop

The receipts of John S. Collins, of Morris-town, N. J., from seventy-five acres of blackberries for the crop of 1872, was $22,500, or $300 per acre. His farm is located near Cam-den, N. J. This is the largest field of blackberries in the United States. Most of the fruit was marketed in Philadelphia.

A Fine Brace Of Cucumbers

During the last week in February we received a brace of Cucumbers from Mr. Stubbins, (gardener to Col Colt,) measuring some twenty inches in length. This, for the season of the year, is drawing it out pretty strong. They were very fine, and equal in flavor to the best long Cucumbers that we have yet seen.

A Fine Coral Tree

In a Nursery at Dorking, England, there flowered this summer, a fine specimen of the Erythrina Cristagalli. It is supposed to be over 50 years old, and its stump was 18 inches in diameter. The plant bore 30 spikes of bloom.

A Fine Country Seat

The American Agriculturist has given, in two successive numbers, a very full and interesting description of the country seat of Morris Ketchum, Esq., in the town of Westport, Conn., within a few miles of the Sound. It is called HoKanum, and embraces about 400 acres of land, all in a fine state of cultivation. The gardens, lawns, vinery, and all the appurtenances of a complete country residence, are spoken of as being in the finest condition.
