The California Soap Plant. —"We know
very little of botany, says the Placerville Obser
server, and are quite ignerant of the classifica
tion and name of this singular plant, which is
so abundant iu our foot-hills. There is one pe
culiarity about it wiiich is very singular. The
plant at first shoots up into a perpendicular
stalk, which attains usually about five feet in
height. From this stalk side branches spring
out the length of eighteen inches or two feet.
These branches are thickly studded with buds,
which in shape resemble tiny dumb-bells. There
is nothing very remarkable in the shape or ap
pearance of the plant, but the peculiarity to
which we allude consists in its odd manner of
blooming. The blossoms open during the night
time, and never open but once, but this is not the
novelty which we are endeavoring to get at.—
If any one will take the trouble to watch
the plant for a few nights consecutively
after it begins to bloom, he will perceive
that on the first night about four inches of
the root of each branch will bo covered with
open blossoms; the next night these will be all
found closed, and four inches higher on* the
branches will be found in full bloom ; and so on,
until the buds are exhausted. In a word, the
plant blooms, in sections of four inches at a
time.
Tea Culture. —The tea plants recently im
ported from China by the Department of Agri
culture, connected with the Patent Office, arc in
a very thriving condition. Some of them have
grown to the height of fifteen inches. Others
are just appearing from the seed. The climate
seems to be congenial to them, and the experi
ment is proceeding satisfactorily. Probably it
will be found, that not climate, after all, but la
bor, or rather the insufficiency of it in the United
States, is the impediment to the successful cul
ture of tea. Much can be done by the ingenuity
of our people in substituting machinery for
hands, but the patient and unskilled labor pro
cesses of the Chinese, as applied to tea-making,
is not likely to be imitated in any part of the
United States. It may not be generally known
that not only are the tea leaves picked by hand,
but they are also curled up leaf by leaf, by celes
tial fingers. Necessity, however, is the mother
of invention, and a relation of that family, an
acute son of New' England, has already set his
mind upon a tea-curing machine, which promises
to do for the American crop with a few thous
and fingers of steel, the work which occupies
the digits of a million inhabitants of the Flowerv
Land. J
Many other interesting experiments are going
forward in the tea garden, the result of which
will, doubtless, be useful to the agriculture of
the country.— Courier and Enquirer.

GRAPES.
i W e are indebted to our friends, Messrs. Peters,
I Harden A Co., of Atlanta, fora box which reaeli
i ed us on the 23d ult, containing several varieties
of native and foreign grapes, of which some of the
latter were as fine as grapes get to be with open
aif culture. Except in size, there are but few
j foreign sorts superior to our best natives. Lenoir
Warren, Delaware and Rebecca are our best na-
I tives. But in these the superiority isdeeided, and
; they are well worth cultivating, even if not more
' than one or two crops can be obtained without
! renewing the vines.
I Os the native varieties received, there were:
Ist Diana, bunch of good size, berries begin
ning to turn color, of considerable sweetness,
1 but not fully ripe. This is better as a table
; grape than its parent, the Catawba.
2d. Hartford Prolific. The bunch sent was
i small, being from a young vine. We believe its
bunches are of good size, when the vine gets
established. Berries of the size and color of
Isabella, but globular' quite as sweet, but with
considerable toughness of pulp.
3d. Lyman, bunch small, berries the size of a
large Warren, rather pulpy, and considerably
acid, with a very peculiar, black-currant like,
unpleasant flavor. We presume this is about
as poor a grape as ever got into cultivation.
4th. Clinton, bunch medium, berries size of
the preceding, a little better in quality, but not
better than our common wild grapes; not worth
cultivating.
sth. Concord, bunch of good size; berries
colored like Isabella, of about the same size,
earlier, more foxy, pulp of more consistency, but
juice very sweet. It is worthy of cultivation
from its earliness.
Foreign Grapes. —lst. Red Chasselos. A
beautiful bunch, very much shouldered; berries
medium, round, of a very agreeable flavor, though
not quite ripe; color, brownish red.
2d. Golden Chanelas. Very delicious; berries
of their usual fine size.
3d. Sweetwater. The bunch sent of this was
splendid, one of the largest we have ever seen
of this variety, and in flavor, nearly equal to
the preceding.
4th. A nameless variety of the Sweetwater
tribe, said to be a fine grower and bearer, but
those sent were deficient in sweetness; the bunch
was of fine size, and very beautiful.
sth. Early Black July. Ripe early in July,
hence the bunch was over ripe. This is the
Black July of Downing, and corresponds to his
description. It is of good quality, and the very
earliest grape we have.
THE CALCEOLARIA.
This singular genus embraces a great number
of species, most of which were derived from the
more temperate regions of South America, as
the Chilian and Peruvian Andes. It takes its
scientific name from Calceolus, a half boot, and
its common name, Slipperroot, also from a re
semblance of its singular flowers to a slipper,
or shoe. This singularity of form, less apparent
now than in the earlier varieties, gave it from
the first an interest with florists, which the
beautiful hybrid varieties raised of late years
have, as Thompson observes, fully maintained
Originally, with few exceptions, the species
were yellow, but there were two w’ith blossoms
of a purple hue, and from their admixture with
the yellow sorts have many splendid varieties
been produced.
The Calceolarias are all green-house plants,
some of which are shrubby, and others herba
ceous. What is not common, the herbaceous
sorts hybridize freely with the others. In ad
dition to the yellow and purple varieties, then
cultivated, a spotted flowered one C. crenatiflora,
was, in 1831, introduced into England, from
which, crossed with existing varities, several
splendid hybrids were soon produced. They now
vary “through every possible shade of crim
son, browm, orange, pink, purple, and yellow;
often spotted and sometimes delicately melting
into white." The herbaceous sorts are the finest,
but these can be successfully raised only from
seed. Os the shrubby sorts, the best varieties
are furnished by any good commercial florist.
They require a soil composed of equal parts,
turfy loam and peat, with a little sand. They
need a good deal of water, and will not bear
neglect a single day. They should be grown
in pots, standing in saucers of water, the -water
changed daily, and given at about the same
temperature with the plants.

IMPORTANT TO GARDENERS.
A gardener having occasion to newly paint
the wood-work in the interior of his green-house,
determined to make trial of the theory of the
absorption of heat by black color, with the
: view of promoting the maturity of his plants
! and shrubs by means ot a greater quantity of
j calorie. In the preparation of the black paint
he used coal tar. that is to say, tar produced by
the distillation of coal in the manufacture of
gas. This coal tar, besides the advantage of its
color, offers considerable economy in painting,
being about one-eighth of the price of the ma
i terial generally used in mixing black paint.—
I The painting here in question was executed be
j fore the setting in of winter. On the return of
! spring the gardener observed, with no less sur
i prise than satisfaction, that the spiders and other
insects which had infested his green-house had
totally disappeared. He, moreover, remarked
that a vine, trained on an espalier which, for
the space of two years, had been sensibly de
caying, and which he had purposed to uproot
! for the purpose of planting another in its place,
had acquired such renewed health and vigor as
' to be capable of producing excellent table
i grapes. Having applied his new paint to the
props, treillages, and espaliers of all his sickly
trees and shrubs, as well as those which, though
in full bloom, were being devoured by insects,
success again crowned his experiment. Cater
pillars and snails disappeared as rapidly as the
insects had vanished from the green-house.—
The fruits produced by the trees thus treated
have elicited the approval and eulogy of purcha
sers. Similar experiments tried on the vine
yards of the Gironde have, it is said, been at
tended by the same excellent results.
The Bulletin.
It would be advisable to try the experiment
next Spring, just before the leaves expand, of
painting the posts and trellisses on which vines
are trained, with a paint composed of coal-tar
and sulphur. Sulphur is offensive to most in
sects, (if not all) and in a grapery, if sprinkled
about in the sun, it will preserve the fruit from
rot. It is also in France applied dry to the
bunches of grapes by means of a sulphurator.
to arrest the grape disease. At all events, the
application as above to the trellises will make
them more durable from the preservative qpali
ties of the coal tar and very possibly the sul
phur will drive off insects from the vines, if the
coal tar does not. We do know not how much
reliance is to be placed upon tho article we
quote, but intend to make the experiment as
above, the coming spring. It is very possible
that as much science, skill and care expended
here upon the foreign vine as has been done in
France since the vine disease appeared there,
would render its cultivation as successful here
as it has again become in that country. It is
worth the trial.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
SOUTHERN FIELD AND FIRESIDE,
A LITERARY AND AGRICULTURAL PAPEft,
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
! taining forty- columns of matter. In mechanical execu
tion, it is in the best style of the typographical art In
utility, it will be all that the best agricultural science and
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 en
terprise on my part and a laudable emulation on the part
of others, can evoke from Southern intellect and 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 South. Our people
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 upon us, that we have literary re
sources of own worthy to be fostered —that among South
ern writers should be divided some portion of that vast
stream of Southern money that flows perpetually north
ward to sustain Northern literature.
My aim is to establish a paper that will be a vehicle o
information useful to Southern Planters and Farmers, and
a repository of Southern thought, imagination and taste,
in the realms of Literature and Art; and to obtain for it
such an extent of patronage and success, as will justify
the most liberal compensation to all its contributors.
Able and experienced editors are engaged, and steps are
in progress to secure contributions from the most pleasing
Southern writers, of both sexes. Much latent talent will
be brought to light, and furnish some agreeable surprises
to Southern people.
“ Full many a gem, of purest ray serene,"
will flash before their admiring eyes, and cause a gen
erous glow of pride in Southern genius.
The Agricultural Editor is Dr. Danikl Lee, the dis
tinguished Professor of Agriculture in the Univerity of
Georgia—editor for many" years past of the Southern
Cultivator , and a leading contributor to many Northern
agricultural journals ot the highest reputation.
The Horticultural Editor is Mx. Wm. N. Wuitk, a skill
ful and experienced cultivator of fruits, flowers, and vege
tables—a writer of repute in these departments, and au
thor of that popular work, “Gardening for the South.”
The Literary Editor is Mr. W. W. Mann, of this
city, an accomplished writer, of fine taste, and scholarly
attainments, who, having retired from the active duties
of the legal profession, spent many years in Europe, and
was for several years the Paris Correspondent of the Na
tional Intelligencer and Southern Literary Messenger.
THE SOUTHERN FIELD AND FIRESIDE will
combine the ÜBeful and the agreeable. It will furnish
the Southern Farmer information useful in every field he
cultivates, and the Southern family choice literature, the
offspring of Southern intellect, worthy of welcome at
every fireside. It will be, in all respects, a first class pa
per —on a scale of expenditure more liberal than has yet
been attempted in the South, and designed to rival, in its
merits, the most distinguished of the North.
Terms— Tiro dollars per annum, in advance.
No club rates allowed. No credit allowed in any case.
Bills current in the State from which they are sent, re
ceived at par.
Postmasters will be allowed fifteen per cent on the
amount of subscriptions obtained by them.
On all subscriptions exceeding twenty, sent from one
office, twenty-five per cent will be allowed.
In addition to this commission, a premium of one hun
dred dollars will be paid to that Postmaster, in each of
tho following States, who sends the largest number of
subscribers, with the money, by the first day of August
next: Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and
Mississippi.
Other premiums and prizes will be duly announced.
Contributions solicited from the pens of Southern wri
ters.
A special appeal is made to the ladies of the South for
their patronage and good wishes.
This paper will be entirely silent on politics.

IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS.
THE RICHMOND FACTORY, Richmond county,
Ga, continues to manufacture WOOLEN CLOTII
at 12% cents per yard for plain, and 16 for twills—finding
every material except tnc Wool. The extensive and
constantly increasing patronage the Factory has enjoyed
for past yearß, 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 being
erected, enable us to keen up the standard of the Goods,
and to secure an early delivery'.
Planters, or others, who inay 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 be 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 upon our patrons the great
necessity of sending in the wool as soon ns clipped ; if
this rule is followed, the parties would always be sure of
having the cloth in ample time.

Agents in Augusta, On.
