HORTICULTURAL.
WM. N. WHITE, Editor.
SATURDAY JUNE IS, ISM.
BARBERRIES BLACKBERRIES.
Until within two years we have had little
success with any variety of the Rasperrv' except i
the American black, which generally succeeds
in recent plantations, a variety of this with white
or light yellow berries, hut similar to the black j
in other respects, is worth raising as it contrasts
very prettily with the other fa color when served
up for the desert.
Three years since Mr. Charles Downing called
our attention to the American red. and kindly j
presented us with a few plants. This is quite
as hardy and more productive than the forego- j
fag and in flavor finer, and more like the Europ- l
ean varieties. Though smaller it is not very ;
much inferior to them for the desert and is exe
eellent for jams, flavoring liquors, and for put
ting up in cans. It is a very desirable variety
for this climate and until recently we considered
it the most so of any in cultivation.
But of all the raslterries the Catawissa seems
best adapted to our climate. Our townsman
Y. L. 0. Harris, Esq., among other novelties on ;
his well kept place, showed ns a few days since j
a small plot of this variety; the plants haling
been procured by him winter before* last of
Joshua Pierce, of'Washington city. The Cata
wissa differs from most rasherries in this par
ticular. Ordinarily the rastierry throws tip
strong shoots or canes from the root as soon as
well established, which canes during their first 1
summer throw out very few secondary or side 1
shoots. These canes the succeeding year throw j
out side shoots freely which produce their blos
soms and fruit and die soon after fruiting, mean
while a new crop of eanes is growing up ready
for fruiting the succe£*ding year.
On the contrary, as soon as the new cane of
the Catawissa raspberry commences growth in
the spring, it commences also to be garnished .
with side branches, and before the crop has cea
sed on the proceeding years eanes, these shoots j
of the current year if the plant is well nourished j
come into bearing, and they bear freely to. On
anew cone about six feet long, within eighteen ;
inches from the extremity we counted one hun- |
dredand thirty nine blooms and berries in every j
stage, from the opening blossom to the perfect |
fruit. Below these, scattered on the laterals j
were probably quite as many more. And many 1
other canes not quite so much advanced pro- j
mise nearly as groat a product. On the last
years wood there appeared to be, at the same
time, a full average crop while the new growtli
bids fairs to prolong the rasberry season inde
finitely. The berries are dark crimson with
some bloom and fully equal in quality to the
American rod. A Franconia and a Fastolf
planted at the same time on the same plot and j
under the same treatment had scarcely a fruit j
this season.
Os the European species Dr. Brinckle's seed
ling the French, so far as tried, appears to be
the most productive, bearing a large deep red
berry of fine quality.
New plantations of the rasberry should be
made every year or two, and the old ones dug
up or as soon as they become unproductive.—
Plants infected with the white scale insect had
better he at once uprooted and burnt. "When
each stool is kept thinned to six or eight shoots
and these shortened in winter by taking off
nearly Half their length the plantations will prove
much more productive. All the varieties require
a deep fertile soil aud the ever bearing ones,
like the Catawissa. cannot be expected to suc
ceed fully upon apy other. This variety will he
also likely to exhaust any soil more quickly and
require a change of location earlier than a varie
ty less constantly in fruit, all this family succeed
admirably upon fresh cleared lands.
A word upon the blackberry, a member of the
same genus. Os these we have not yet met an
improved variety. The new Rochelle is abso
lutely unfit to eat until ready to drop off itself
from the bush, which is a capital defect, and
even in perfection is unpleasantly acid, quite in
ferior both to the common high blackberry and
the dewberry. Os the high blackberry we liave
occasionally met a red variety growing wild and
there is in cultivation a white or yellowish one
corresponding in color to the white rasberry.
In flavor they do not differ from the common
black so plentiful in every State of the Union.
THE VERBENA.
As a bedding plant, the Verbena ca nnot be
excelled for its brilliance and variety of color
showing nearly all the tints ot the rainbow aud
nearly every shade. It is almost constantly in
bloom is of easy management, and of late, fra
grance has been added to its other sterling qual
ities. It is fa our climate almost a hardy plant
often surviving the winter with little or no pro
tection. A few plants of each variety should
however alwas be wintered in a green house or
pit, in order to he sure of a spring stock which,
when the tulip tree opens its buds, should be
planted in a light friable soil, having full expo
sure to the sun and air. Mr. Buist gives the
following as the best dozen:
1. Brilliant de Yaise,
2. Miss Trotter.
3. Crimson Perfection, ; Scarlet and Crimson.

THE MORGAN PEAR.
In the Horticulturist (which every one should !
j take) we rind this month a colored illustration
; and a description of the Morgan Pear, by Mr.
iJ. Van Buren. We condense Jus discretion.
The fruit is a native of New Hanover County j
N. C. of large size varying from eight to twelve
inches in circumference. Form oblate; stem
slender about on inch long, in a slight furrowed
depression: calyx and small, segments caducous; ;
basin deep and abrupt; greenish yellow a little ,
flecked with russet and sprinkled with grev j
russet dots, flesh white, a little gritty but sweet
juicy and slightly vinous. Very good, Ripe in
October. Tree a fine grower but does not suc
j ceed on the quince stock.
A specimen of this fruit given us by Mr. Van
Buren last October proved melting and excellent, j
in this section at least it is doubtless a desirable
variety.

Scarce any praise is worthy .of the bright.
And glorious beauty, that the light,
Which gushes from a conscious soul, ami steals,
Through eyes like thine, into the heart, reveals.
Not e'en Circassia’s ever-vaunted land.
Nor far-famed eastern Georgia's valleys, fanned
By breezes, laden with the rich perfumes:
Borne from the lovely and the gorgeous blooms,
Os tropic groves, suggesting all e'er dreamed
Os ease voluptuous, and all that's deemed
Extatic joy on earth—these do not hold,
In all their broad expanse a form of mould
Like thine. Our Geoigia now will yield to none,
The palm of beauty you for her have won.

IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS.
THE RICHMOND FACTORY, Richmond county,
L Ga., continues to manufacture WOOLEN CLOTII
at ILy cents per yard for plain, and 16 for twills—finding
every material except the wool. The extensive and
constantly increasing patronage the Factory has enjoyed
for past years, assures the proprietors that the article of
Winter Clothing for negroes, made by them, has not been
surpassed by any cloth made North or South.
Recent extensive improvements, and others now living
erected, enable us to keep up the standard of the Goods,
and to secure an early delivery.
Planters, or others, who may wish to send us wool to
be made into cloth, can send it dirty or clean. If washed,
it should be done in cold water, and done thoroughly. If
sent dirty, we charge half cent per yard extra for wash
ing. Burry Wool is not objectionable; the burs are re
moved by machinery. The name of the owner should be
marked upon every package sent.
Wool sent by railroads in Georgia, Alabama. Tennes
see, or South Carolina, to the Augusta depot, with the
owner's name, and “ Richmond Factory " marked upon
it, will he regularly and promptly received, and the cloth,
when made, returned to the points directed. Each par
cel is made up in the turn received.
We would especially urge ui*>n onr patrons the great
necessity of sending in the wool as soon as clipjied : if
this rule is followed, the parties would always be sure of
having the cloth in ample time.

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
THE same spirit which animates the initiation of the
“Southern Field and Fireside,” namely—that the
South should rely on self for all her w ants, has animated
the humble endeavors of the undersigned in their own
sphere. We deem it just as necessary to the pride, hap
piness and prosperity of the South, that her fair daughters
should be supplied within the borders of their own State
with everything that is elegant and durable, at a fair price,
as it is for the South to have her own manufacturing in
terests and literature. For this purpose wc have placed
in the Northern markets a man of acknowledged taste
and mercantile experience, with unlimited means to im
port and purchntf at auction our supplies, affording us
facilities (enjoyed by none in Georgia) which enables us
to offer advantages to those desirous of B[>ending their
money economically for good articles. All we desire and
court is a fair, critical examination of our Goods and
prices, guaranteeing a saving of at least twenty-live per
cent, from the old credit system. Wc therefore respect

This Press has proved itself to be superior to all descrip
tions of Screws and Presses heretofore used, in speed,
]mwer, durability and economy. In ]«dnt of latior-saving,
this Press stands unrivalled. One-half the hands usually
required for the Screw, can, with the large size of these
Presses, perform more work, at the same time compres
sing a greater weight of cotton in much smaller bales
The strain being thrown on wrought iron rods, no sup
porting frame is needed. It occupies a space on the
ground not exceeding three hy six feet, and well arranged
to put inside the gin house or lint room, thereby protect
ing hands and machinery from the weather. It can be
easily shipped by railroad or wagon, and set up and put
to work by the ordinary plantation hands, without fear of
accident, it being very simple in its construction and
management.
Planters visiting this city, can see one of these Presses
in operation at Messrs. Camfield & Crane's, corner Rey
nolds street and Call’s Alley.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
SOUTHERN FIELD AND FIRESIDE,
A LITERARY AND AGRICULTURAL TAPER,
Published Weekly, in Augusta. Georgia.
Dr. D. LEE, Agricultural Editor.
W. W. .MANN, Literary Editor.
WM. N. WHITE, Horticultural Editor.
Devoted to Agriculture, Literature, and Art. It is in
| quarto form of eight pages, folio size—each issue con-
I taining forty columns of matter. In mechanical execu
! tion, it is in the best style of the tyjsigrajihical art. In
utility, it will be all that the best agricultural science and
I practical knowledge of the South can furnish. A weekly
, visitor to the homes of Southern Planters and Fanners,
it will be more useful and acceptable to them than any
monthly journal of equal merit.
In mental attractions, it will be all that a spirit of cn
terpriae on my jiart, anil a laudable emulation on the part
of others, can evoke from Southern intellect anil cultiva
tion.
Too long the Southern people have been content to look
to Northern periodicals for instruction in agricultural
matters, and to Northern literary papers for mental rec
reation. There is, however, a growing spirit of inde
pendence and of self-reliance at the Bouth. Our jieojile
are awaking to the conviction that we have the elements
of success in the experience, knowledge, and scientific
investigation, of the dwellers in our own Southern homes.
The truth is gleaming ujion us, that we have literary re
sources of own worthy to be fostered—that among South
ern writers should be divided some jwrtlon of that vast
stream of Southern money that flows [icrpetually north
ward to sustain Northern literature.
My aim is to establish a piper that will be a vehicle of
information useful to Southern Planters and Farmers, and
