But the most remarkable feature of this garden is
the .Mammoth PIE Plant, and certainly any person
who is curious to know what Pie Plant IS and how
1t may be cultivated and developed would do well
to look at IT. We state what we witnessed, land

that from one root cut a quantity, which, after
being trimmed ready for cooking, weighed 4S
POUNDS, and certainly much more was left on

MAMMOTH Pie PLAST.-B. L. Cahoon, of Keno
sha, Wisconsin, has just sent three Pie Plant Leaf
stalks that outgo anything we ever seen ofthe kind
before; after having performed the long journey
from the place of their growth-in what way are
not inforined-the three stalks weigh ELEVEN AND
QUARTER PoUNDs.-N. Y Tribune, Jaiy 1854
Mr.. CAHooE, has this day deposited in our office,
a specimen stalk of his Seeding Pie Plant lin a
glass jar, preserved in alcohol the growth of last
wear, of the following dimensions :-25 inches long
81 inches wide; inches thick leaf % feeteircuni-
ference weight 81 pounds-which can be seen by
those curious i'll such matters. And it is proper TO
add in mentioning this remarkable growth, that so
far from the plant degencrating or showing a dispo-
stion TO, it increases from year To year, and next
iclc still larger specimen.-keRosha Tr1b g. Tel,

To the Cincinnati horticultural Society.
Being on tour through Wisconsin, called upon
Mr. b. r. Cahoon, of Kenosha who has a remarka-
BILE variety of Seeding Rhubarb. | examined his
plantation of about 5000 plants and its wonderful
properties have not been overrated. The Victoria
saw growing alongside of his Seeding, and subject
to the same trcatment-soil identical--would not
weigh one fourth as much as the CahOon's Seeding.
l can, through your Society, recommend the plant
the notice of amateurs and cultivators the best
plant now known. His stalks for market would
measure from three 10 four inches wide, two to
three inches thick and two feet long, and tender
that many leaves | saw broke down with their own
weight 1t is chance seeding, originated by Mr..
Cahuon, from seed given him ut Chicago, aud was
the only plant from the seed that was worth cultva
ting. Respectfully yours, JULIUS BRACE.
