Le Baron

Mr. Walker: First rate here and in England; large size; good flavor, prolific. Mr. Prince: Highest flavored large strawberry in existence.

Le Toussin

A new variety of great merit; flowers a vermilion red upon pale sulphur ground, the lower petals spotted with white: extra fine.

Leather Shavings For Fruit-Trees

(W. P. S, West Amesbury, Mass.)

We do not believe that the leather shavings had any influence in attracting the Borer to Apple trees.

Lehman

A splendid, large bunch and berried grape; nearly white, but rather late, unless in a good exposure. Raised by Wm. Lehman, of New Lebanon, from seed of the Bland, crossed by Isabella.

I have now fifty varieties of native grapes under trial, and have the promise of some twenty more; all shall have a fair trial, if I live, and the results be given to the public. Fifteen foreign varieties just started, which shall have a trial in the open air, and if they don't do well, shall have a house built to run them into.

Out of the fifty varieties under way, I see an occasional sly fox beginning to show himself; but if one out of five of the new ones will prove worth cultivating, I will be satisfied.

A Leighi

A very free blooming variety, of excellent habit. Color, light purple; near two inches in diameter, which is beautifully sprinkled with carmine spots. The above two varieties form a fine contrast with the beautiful snow-white blossoms of A. Margaretta and A. Ambrose Verschaffett; a very fine variety; color white, picturesquely marked with bright violet (one of the very best).

Lemons

It is strange, says the Texas Gazette, that no one has entered into the production of this fruit upon the coast of Texas as a regular business. The production of lemons alone would be a profitable employment. There is no danger of glutting the market, however large the product may prove. Last year there were imported into Boston, from the Mediterranean alone, 46,000 boxes of lemons and 47,000 boxes of oranges. These are but insignificant items in the total imports of the United States during that time. Upwards of thirty dollars worth of lemons have been sold in a single season from a young tree in Galveston. No trouble but that of planting is requisite.

Lemons #1

For the best collection of Lemons grown in open air, Premium, The Society's Silver Medal.

Lemonade Improved

A clear bright lemon; a distinct and fine variety; indispensable in a collection.

As the social and domestic relations are the great sources of happiness, or its opposites, so those romances that properly treat of those relations - of the virtues that adorn, and of the vices that deform them - are clearly the most interesting, impressive, and useful.

LENA RIVERs is an American Domestic Story, unveiling in a masterly manner the sources of social and domestic enjoyment, or of disquiet and misery. By intermarriages of New England and Kentucky parties, a field is opened to exhibit both Yankee and Southern domestic life, for which the talented authoress was well prepared, being of Yankee birth and early education, and having subsequently resided in the South. She was thus especially fitted to daguerreotype the strictly domestic and social peculiarities of both sections.
