SEAsoSABLE OPPosITIoS.-Co Colt, of Hart

which January does business in successful
competition with the summer months. In
that green house strawberries are nouris hing
at the present writing. The Times says that
cucumbers are now plentifully produced, and
bring, for the long variety, from English
seed fifty to seventy five cents each. Peaches
are now as large as walnuts, and grapes as
large as rifle bullets Figs are far advanced !;
pine-apples ripe apricots, plums, beans &c. d.,
&c, are sight to behold; while roses and
rare flowers of every variety are in bloom
Last March the manager sold $500 worth of
cucumbers this month he can sell IL coo
worth of that article. The grapes alone, in the
hot and cold graperies, can produce Col. Colt
Il profit OF $5, 900 when fairly under way
