Ravenswood l.. l., has prepared the following paper
upon growing seedlings from the Cherry Currsnt.
which ia in such demand that his, and every other
large stock Of plants tba know Of are already sx-
bsused by orders for actual cultivation oil over the
country. He therefore recommends planting the seed
and if il does not produce the true kind It may pro-
duce something superior. He has already cent abroad
good deal Of seed, and the following are his direc'
items for sowing Cherry Cuuant seed:
"Mix the seed with fine sand, and put 10 flower.
Dot or apy other vessel draioed at the bottom; select
high spot in the eardeo where the water does no.
stsrd in Winter dig small hole and put In the pot 90
that It's surface is about xith the surface Of The
ground; then rase hill of earth over the pc. three
feet in diameter and and half feet high. Leave
the seeds buried in ths manner and without any ohsS
prote cton against the fros, It'll Spring. When the
frost entirely out Of the ground take up the SEED and
cow it in drills two feet apart, and cover hat inch
deep. BE sure and not the seeds too much-haf
an inch is better than more L. makes no difference II

Many persons shrink from the Sttemp. 10 raise fruit
trees, or bushes from seed from msconcspton on

vegetate and as the time takes for the seedlings
to grow up TO bearing size.

Apples, Pears etc, want indeed ct lesst six ysus
before they bear, but the fruit can be 10 four
years by GREETING from the young seeding sbrsnch

bear their root the third year and this class Of

The Lawton Blackberry, the Cherry Cunsnt, tho
Fsstof Raspberry, are very fns vsristies Of their
kind, but who viii 'sy they cannot be further i'm
proved None Of them seem 20 far removed from
the common kinds as the Bartlett, or Duchess d An
gouleme, from the original Wild pear Of Europe.
There are many kinds Of small frais which have,
perbsps, never yet been experimental upon, sor To-
stance, the Cranberry, Wborsbspy, and Eldsrbsry.
If every farmers boy and girl would r..e a few
fruit trees from seed every year. in the course OF few
years millions Of young fruit trees would show their
new fruit. What chance for new and sIceuing We
