lock of six or seven months of frost and
cold as in the East, and shrubs, trees,
ETC., make continual growth. 1t is
not uncommon for an orchard to be i'll
bearing in two or three years from
planting; and in five years there is a
maturity equal to fifteen years time in
New England or New York. This is
true of all vegetable growth. | was

house and laid out his grounds two and

had grown so that for the past year it
had been a constant warfare to keep
down the superintendent growth.
UNDER ONES OWN VINE AND FIG TREE.
With such climate with snch soil
and fruits and flowers and vegetables
with such possibilities before him of
being able to literally sit under his own
vars after planting the proba
bilities of the growth of the State, ag-
riculturally, commercially and politi-
cally is it Il wonder that the eastern
man is tempted to leave the advanta-
ges and culture of New England, and
put up for Il season at least with the
mixed population and rougher civilian
ton and more lax ideas of this western
state
But | remember that this coast is in
a great measure cut off from the rest of
the world-it is isolated, and always
will be in Il measure. remember too
that home ties and friendships are
strong; that the roots of affection grow
deep i'll New England life, and that
the love of home is often stronger than
the desire for ease and personal com
fort.
