FLOWERS IN WINDows.-There are no surer

there is no occupation for the leisure hou more
calculated to keep it so, or to soOthe the lpd.

To those blest with children, how delightful

respecting other matters.
PEARs.sA new race of pears, from which much
is expected is now coming into cultivation. These
are seedlings of the old ornamental species famil-
iarly known as the Chinese Sand Pear, supposed
to be crossed with the Bartlett or other varieties

offered for sale and stated to be blight proof
This may be true so far as has yet been demon
strated in regard to the kietfer, but young trees
of the lie Conte have shown blight. 1t is too
early in their history to announce with certainty
as to their immunity from The usual diseases of
our cultivated pears, but it can be said that the
fruits of the above varieties are very good. The
LIE Conte originated in Georgia, and it is being
quite extensively planted in the southern States,
where it gives much promise for adaptability.

VEGETABLE GARDES.-In choosing situation
for the culture of vegetables that one which
affords the most shelter should have d careful
consideration. The best situation and aspect is
one having a gentle southwest slope, backed on
the north and east points by shelter Of trees
sufic emily distant to break the force of winds
without interfering with the crops. This is, per-
haps, of more Importance than the natural adapt
ability of the SOIL which the operations of culture
will constantly tend to alter and improve
free, loamy soil will be found most suitable
for the general run of crops and if it rests upon
a somewhat clayey subsol it will produce heavier
crops and require less manure than where the
subsoil is of a graveily sandy character.
Draining, TO some extent, will he necessary, as
permanent foundation for the gradual improve
ment and amelioration of such soils. A clGyey
soil, how ever, requires much care IN its manage
ment, but this is more than counterbalanced by
it's capacity production. Light sandy soils are,
in general better fitted for very early crops than
are clayey soils. A clayey loan, well drained
and sheltered will usually produce crops as early
as will freer soil in a very exposed situation
principle in the management of clay soils, is
to turn them over in the fall. so as to expose the
surface to the action of frosts. This is very
important matter, and it has the effect of render
