lIORTICUI.AR OBSERVATIONS.

The products of this ihontli consist in ballad kerbs, the use of which
canni.t be but much cut kriee to health, as the sprout• are bill of sap.
The spear like leaf of the spinach, the meandroto bosoni of the savoy,
t cabbage of T)iian dye, and the white and red bet. are now enter-
ing in their season. The single wall-flower, the double daisies, and
the spring cyclamen, adorn our gaidens, spangle the meadows, crown
cur wally, and begin to breathe their new perfumes into the air.
