NEWPORT
in a recent number of eehs MONITOR I
gave brief description of Dr. Hoskins'
garden and that of Mr.. Farrant, of this
place, deserves not 49,. forgotten. I
am ignorant of Mr.. ia manner of
management, and othesgertisulars which
would be of interest except as far as l
have been able to observe in a short
view of the grounds, but that convinces
me that he is a thorough practical gar
dener, and has store Of experimental
knowledge to draw upon. In the first
place, I notice that he looks out for the
manure, which is one great prerequisite
to successful farming.
Mr.. Farraat engages particularly in
the growth of such plants as can be
proftably started in the dollhouse, and
is foremost in the market, such as to-
matoes, cucumbers, melons, green peas,
&C., which early in the year, bring good
prices. He also delights in the culture
of flowers, which he has in profusion.
Mr. Farrant sells large numbers of gar
den plants. which he has started in the
dollhouse, and is thus able to furnish of
considerable size at the time that Others
are making their gardens. He has a
large farm, where are fields of carrots,
beets, turnips, onions, cabbages, &C..
aud l notice that the latter named plant
appeared to be remarkably free from the
ravages Of the cabbage worn (piert.
, ropie,) which has made such kavoc with
5 the cabbage plant for two orthree year:
9 in the past, and which, [ notice, is az
r destructive as usual in some places
Whether this is attributable to mere &C
| cident, or to some superiority in hi
. method Of treatment, [ am not prepared
n to say. He has now the finest lot o
cabbages [ have seen this year. Al
though the weeds helped on by the al
[. most unparalleled wet weather appea
r. to have cotton rather the start of tn
garden, I believe this garden is general
ly model Of neatness and thorough ca
pacity on his part.
Mr.. Farrant is an Englishman, [ be
lieve, by nationality and has that thor
ough practical acquaintanceship wit
his business which is the key to success
in any pursuit The place is ornament
! ed by a goodly supply of choice frui
trees, which, while highly ornamental
y are equally useful. Sight seers here
. abouts should give this garden a cal
