THE CULTURE OF VEGETABLES.
by CHARLES A. PEABODY.

LETTUcE.-Leltuce may be sown in
the fall, or in January, FEBRUARY and
March. Fall sowing will secure the
earliest lettuce, tut it will not be as
tender or as sweet rs that sown in tho
spring. To have Lettuce in pcrfec-
ton, the soil must DO rich, light and
mellow. The seed may be sown
broadcast, and the young plants
transpIanled. as soon as they show
four leaves. Lettuce, properly traus-
planted, is moro inclined to head and
blanch, than that which stan'!s where
it is sown. 1t may also be sown in
drills, fourteen inches apart, and thin
ned out TO eight incLos in the drill
Cover the seed about half an inch and
press the earth firmly on them Let.
tuce is an annual, producing it's seeds
freely in this climate. In many coun
try gardens rabbits destroy The young
plants rs soon as they appear: To
prevent this, keep them we'll sprink!ed
with ashes. Head Lettuce should be
cut some six hours bef,re eating, and
soaked in cold water, as it will there
by lose many Of its narcotic proper
ties.

FLOWER GARDEN AND sHRuBBERY.

In. this department, every thing
should now bo in order; the walks
well gravellcd and rolled, the turf
mown every fortnight, tho edgings
trimmed, tho soils in the border and

stirring.
Most hardy ANIMALS have already
been aown, ard tho Ground is now
getting 80 warm that half hardy kinds
may be safely planted in warm Dor

class requires even more care than

tho soil and covering tho seci proper.

among our prctticst plants. Indeed,
as class, .hcy surpaSs in beauty and
interest and continue longer in bloom
than tho hardy annals. Sow, also, +,
biennial and perennial plants this

Verbenas and Petunias should now
be planted whcre they are to bloom,
and the other bedding plants, lillcwiso,
as soon as tho danger Of tho frost is
over. The most useful Of tho latter,
arc the Iatanas, which are pretty, and

LIVE FENCES AND HOW TO MAKE THEM.
Tens f thousands of miles of fences

the continuance Of tho now happily
past war-tho absolute need Of repair
ing the f;.rns maLo des.late, and tho
des:rc that these fences should be
made not only durable butalso pleasing
to the eye, and cheap withal, wo have
been induced TO write few lines on
live fences and their growth and cal-
tivation. liking it altogether, tho
O,age Orange certainly offers the
very best material for living fence.
1t being a Southern trte, renders it
peouliarly applicable in your dry and
often drought visited climate. This
plant will, in five years after planting,
make a living fence impenetrable to
