for sowing is the same as the other melons
second week in May.
| Potatoes AS regards potatoes 1t is unnec
essarY for me to say much, as they wer
pretty we'll discussed at our last meeting.
am however of the opinion that the expert
ence of last season has fully demonstrated
that the Early Rose is the best potato w,
can plant this season, both for an early, an(
good potatoe for any season of the year.
would therefore recommend the Early Ros.
for planting, as l am very much afraid We
will have q visit of the bug this year again.
[ have thus given you a short sketch o.
such vegetable seeds as I know to be suitable
and certain with ordinary care and attention
to give goDd and profitable crops.
1t might be well however that those mem,
bers who have time and feel so inclined
should turn their attention occasionally to
other new varieties that may be highly re-
commended, and let the result of such ex-
periments be communicated to the society
at their meetings in the fall
l have sometimes thought it would be q
good thing for the society to procure some
seeds of some particular kinds of vegetables
that have not been much tried in this section
of the country and distribute a small
quantitysto each member who might wish it,
and let samples of the product be exhibited
at our fall show, SO that 1t might be seen.
And each grower Gf called upon to do SOD
could give statement of his mode of culti-
walton. This or some such arrangement,
might think be entered into, with beneficial
results. 1t would be for the society to con
slider whether or not they would give pre-
mum for the best specimen SO produced.
reF& FLOWERS. nrHFs
Having thus finished our remarks in refer
ence to vegetable culture, let us before clos
ing turn our attention for little to the cul.
tivation of flowers. This may be considered
by many OF small importance being more
ornamental than useful. am not disposed
at present to enter into controversy upon
the subject. But the cultivation of flowers
is becoming SO general and popular, that any
one who has any pretensions to gardening
and neglects to ornament his garden with a
selection of beautiful flowers, is considered
void of taste and having mind altogether
dead to love of the beautiful.
In walking along some of our streets last
simmer l often felt sorry when looking at
the plots of ground in front of many of our
finest houses, to see how sadly they were
neglected, and how slovenly and untIdy they
looked, when at very small cost, and a lit
tie trouble, or rather, | might say, little
pleasant exercise. they might be made to
look so beautiful,
1 am sure nothing can be more pleasant
and gratifying than to see the front plots of
our dwellings tastefully and judiciously laid
ont with properly arranged groups of flowers
and evergreens. Not to speak of the benefits
on owners themselves, it is a public
benefit and qualification to the whole COM
munity as well as to strangers and friends
VIII may visit us from time TO time. &.
l hope the time is not far distant when
there will be friendly rivalry amongst our
who will have the most tastefully
adorned flower plot around their homestead.
The result of which would be an altogether
new and improved appearance of our other
wise beautiful city. Let us therefore see
that not only we ourselves are not behind in
this respect, but let us also do what we can
70 induce others to go and do likewise.
