CURIOUS VEGETABLES.

Among the many singular productions that faU under our notice, ace have seen Rone more curious than the three zoe are G. bout to describe, for the seed of aohich sce arc indebted to Ovr excellent friend, Mr. Legare, editor of thc Southern Agricultuv- alist. They accre raised in our g0rden.- IHe first is e Mammoth Bean, the pods of aohich aoeigh haif q pound, and are 1 1 to 12 inches long, 2 az IA wide, to IA thick, and the form that of q TurkisA cimetar.- 1he bedn IS of c beamtitnl coral color, the ao'oers pure ,chite, very large and fragrant.
 IHc second IS c kind of Indian Corn, ,oith the husk on each groin. While grooming, many of the stocks produced the grain 0n tae tassels, and had no ears Oth- CTS produced ears ike common corn ; but LHr WuTH U UP tOuO SESD ''tO 0' 'S s''se" ~~~' grain envcloped in q thick husk, but set in the ear like eommOn corn. Dith c husk Ootr the vhole, but scarcely any cod. It c0s sent to Mr. Legore, from Orangeburg, &. c. ,ckere it scas called forage corn.
 1He third is e singular kind of Squash. or more probably Cueumber-the vine and Ro,ccr exhibiting evident marks of its being q conne1;on of fhe cucurbiftaceG tamiiy.- It's root is perennial, Uine q great runner, equal to the gOurd, and trait ct the size and shape of s0inter bell pair. H hds hut one seed, and that in fke form of q large pumpkin seed, an ineh long and q kalf inch uide this seed has no slell, and is fhs mere naked cotylendons of tke Jatart plant; and t is therefore necessary tt plant tke whole fruit. When cegetGtioz commences, the seed protrudes from th' aOOsr and ef the fruit in the form 9f q eat'' , tongue. 1He fruit is cooled hke earl, summer Equashes, and tt is, s0e think, great ly superior to them.
