if not rich. Pulverize we'll. Square the
field and then sub-divide into squares seven

stick at each hill. Select good roots from
the English Grape" or "Goldings," and
set four or FIVE slips in q ten inch circle about
the stick.E Slips tobe six inches long aud
set perpendicular. Compress the fine earth
close about the roots, and entirely cover it,
Set male hills to every ten square hills
Plant corn in the intervals, 1-2x4 feet
Hoe and weed when corn is worked, and
hill up" late in the season (August,0 ,r
In November put from half busIel to one
bushel coarse manure on the crown OF. the

crop is obtained the first year. Roots can
be taken from the hills the second spring
and it is necessary they should be taken out.
Roots are very high now-about $40 per
bushel. An acre will require three bushels.
We obtain them upon orders with proper Sc
