Plantations, which oce,,py betwteo 40 and v 0 acres.
The plants are raised Iron: cuttings, which are slipped off
and.prepared by women in the autumn, and bedded in, in
rows, in any spare piece of garden ground, where they
remain for two years. The ground into which they
are to be transplanted being prepared by shallow trench-
ing, or double ploughing, the plants are placed in rows
4 ft. apart, and at 2 ft. distance in the rows. For
three or four years a row of turnips or potatoes is grown
between the rows of lavender ; after which period, or
about the time that the lavender plants in the row touch
each other, half of them are removed, leaving the field
covered with plants 4 ft. apart every way. All the cul-
ture which is required afterwards, is keeping the soil free
from weeds. In a few years the plants touch each other ;
and in this state they will remain from 15 to 20 years,
according to the nature of the soil ; they are then taken
tip, and the ground cropped for two or three years with
turnips and other field crops ; after which the lavender
plantation is renewed. The flowers are obliged to be
ether sold to a regular licensed distiller, or distilled on
the premises, on account of the excise I MS. The oil
from the plantation here is said to be of the best quality ;
doubtless, from the calcareous nature of the soil."
" FOREIGN GRAPES.—We have never seen foreign
grapes, whether from the continent or Portugal, in
greater abundance, of better quality, or cheaper, than
they are this season. Nothing can exceed the size and
beauty of the Hamburg or Frankenthal grapes, brought
from Holland, and sold in London from Is. to Is. 6d. a
pound. Arriving in less than twenty-four hours by the
steam-packets, they have all the plumpness and bloom of
fresh-gathered fruit. The black Portugal grapes also
arrive in little more than a week by means of the steam-
Packets; and though part of the bloom and freshness
of appearance of their berries is lost, yet for eating,
though not for show, they are uninjured. Were there a
prnper demand for eating grapes from Portugal, the
Muscats and Frontignaes would doubtless be cultivated
these, when the poor man in this country would be able
to have on his table as good grapes as the richest. The
tame may be s titres to the pine-apple, which doubtless
'night be cultivated in Portugal at far less expense than
in England, and steam would soon transport them to the
remotest parts of Britain, nay, of Europe. After a few
More years of struggling, French wines will be as cheap
in England us in France. Thus, then, the tendency of
all things is to equalisation, and those who now produce
every thinewill ultimately also enjoy every thing."
