becomes abundant. This majestic lily grows
sometimes fully ten feet from the base of the
stem to its apes. The flowers are proportional
ly large. Its gigantic head of silver and purple
flowers, so deliciously fragrant, will be conspicu
ous objects, surpassing in grandeur, if not in
brilliancy, the lovely Japan species and its varie
ties.
All lilies require a good deep loomy soil.—
Plant three to five inches deep: vary the depth
with the size of the bulb. The Japan varieties,
put a foot apart in the bed. They need not be
moved oftener than once in three or four years.
Narcissus. —Several species of this genus are
in our gardens under the names of Daffodils,
Jonquils, white Narcissus and Polyanthus, and
are deservedly favorites, from the earliness, fra
grance and elegance of their flowers. They are
all of tho earliest culture and blossom in Janu
ary, February and March, hence a collection is
very desirable.
N—Pseudo Narcissus, the Daffodil is in several
varieties, as the common double, double white
petaled witli yellow cup, single with yellow
petals and golden cup, one with three or four
concentric cups. N. Liflesus —two flowered
daffodil pale cream with yellow cup. The single,
Great Yellow. The great yellow double, the
last a large fine flowered variety commonly
known as Butter and Kggs.
N. Posticus. —Poets Narcissus, has snow
white petals and a pale yellow cup with a red
dish purple fringed border and is very sweet
scented. A variety is double flowered, very de
sirable.
P. N. Jonquilla. The Jonquil is yellow, the
cup deeper colored than the petals, and is both
single and double. N. Odorus, the sweet Scent
ed Jonquil bears four or five yellow flowers.
N. Calathinus, Great Jonquil, is yellow and
with odor rather too powerful to be agreeable.
N. Bullicodium —Hoop Petticoat Narcissus, is
in several varieties, as one pale citron, another
deeper colored and of larger size, Ac.
N. Tazette—Polyanthus Narcissus, flowers in
April, and is the most tender of the genus. It
produces splendid tresses of from six to twenty
flowers, large and very sweet. The varieties
are, the sulphur colored single and double, the
pure white, the white and yellow, single and
double, the yellow and orange—indeed tho Dutch
have a hundred named varieties of this species,
which is tho finest of the whole genus. This
species is often, like the Ilyaciuth, flowered in
glasses.
A good Narcissus has strong, erect stems,
regularity of form and disposition in the petals
and nectars, distinctness and clearness of color,
and when many flowered, the peduncles all of
the same length and coming into flower at once.
The Narcissus will grow in any good garden
soil, and rapidly increaso by offsets. Plant three
inches deep (the Polyanthus five inches) and
every three or four years take up the clumps in
October, divide and reset in fresh soil. (Loudon

SULPHUR—A CURE FOR KUDEW.
Norwalk, Oct. 14th, 1850.
Mr. Editor : —I notice in your paper of the
Bth instant, the use of sulphur recommended for
Grapes, &c. It is good, yet I think there is a
better way, particularly for the grape; which
is to take tho sulphur in some vessel, over a pan
of charcoal in the evening, and fumegate the
vines—this will not only preserve the fruit from
blight, but destroy tho insects that feed on the
bloom. This has been my experience for sever
al years ; though I have but few at present, yet
hope to have more. I have not had one bunch of
grapes injured from blight on the bloom, injured
by the rose bug or other insect, and I believe
so far as my experience goes, that it is effectual.
It costs but little to make the trial.
Yours Respectfully,
Chas. F. Raymond.

The Home of tiie Vineyard. —Prof. Christy,
having spent the last three or four years in
studying the questions connected with fruit and
grape culture and wool growing, has selected
his lands so as to include the altitudes and qual
ity of soil best adapted to the purposes he has
in view. It has been his object to find an alti
tude and climate exempt from mildew and the
rot of the grape, and where the late frosts of
Spring and the early of Autumn would not de
stroy the vintage. Judging from the statement
of the Commercial below, we should say the
Ib'fessor has certainly room for a fair vineyard
and a sheep-walk besides. We have no doubt
he will u aS ent to receive a few neighbors—and
have them q e will. Grape and wool-growing
are k be prominent interests in our
country. Profesur C. may be addressed at Cin
cinnati :
Wool and lime.—lt > known to our readers
that Prof. David Christy v, aa been fc- several
years investigating the ques; on 0 f the adapta
tion of the south-west Alleghany to the produc
. tion of wool and grapes. The remits were so
encouraging that he ventured the purchase of
ten tnousand acres last year, which [he soon
afterwards sold out at a small advance to some
horticulturists of this city. UpOn examination
of the lands these parties were very much
pleased with their investment, and Vave gont
t» work to stock it with fruit, vines and sheep.
PnKq., the present season, has again been on
the groxqd, and finding the soil much richer
and more tuanising than he had supposed, has
purchased abobvyo, 000 acres, and contracted for
enough to make hlNLeep-walk equal to 100,000
acres, or about 15C miles. This amount
of land equals 4 1-3 t°w)\hips of our Ohio sur
veys. If the richness ot yv « o il, the advanta
ges of wool-growing and and the
healthiness of the climate arc represent
ed by Prof. C. and others, this regiohLju inev .
itably become at no distant day one oFsL most
inviting fields of emigration.
This purchase was, we understand, in ly
western part of North Carolina. —[Fd.
Strawberry Culture. —I am opposed to all
stimulating manures for-(he Strawberry, or land
over-enriclied, as some portions of the gardens
are, but I have always preferred land in the best
possible condition for a crop. Then apply a
moderate coating of unleaclied ashes, lime and
salt, say three bushels of ashes, one of lime and
four or six quarts of salt, and if need be, prepar
ed muck or leafmold or turf. Always keep
them clean, and not only uniform large crops
may be expected, but superior fruit, and all at a
cost of less than fifty cents per bushel for the
cultivation, as my own and other’s observations
abundantly attest. If you mulch your bed with
tan, the mulch will keep down the weeds near
the plants. I would let runners grow, and in
the fall take a fine rake and pull up the weak
plants of the runners. This is cheaper than any
plan of cutting off the runners, and does not in
jure the plants. In setting plants, use the plants
from the first end of the runners, as the roots are
stronger than at the little end of the vine.[ — G.
Pardee, in Cincinnati*.

WOMEN AND FLOWERS.
Wo are not awate that any philosopher has
yet undertaken to discuss the moral, sentimental,
or chemical affinities between women and flow
ers. Nor is it necessary that philosophers shall
bother their brains on any such topic, seeing
that the poets, who are better judges, have often
found that flowers and womc-n are mutually
illustrative of each other.
There are many varieties of flowers, just as
there are of women. Some flowers are beautiful
merely to the eye and exhale no fragrance to the
sense; so also there are some women of great
personal beauty around whom is no aroma of
virtue or sentiment.. Other flowers are exceed
ingly beautiful and have delicious fragrance too
reminding one of those rare women whose ex
terior loveliness seems to be the natural reflec
tion of the virtues that bcjewel their hearts.—
Other flowers again are not at all beautiful to
the eye, and yet they are full of the most exqui
site odor. These remind us of those women of
external plainness, whose minds are adorned
with the gems of thought and sentiment, and
whose hearts are tho homes of all those graces
and elegances that live long after mere beauty
of form and color has become dim and passed
away. Thus we might run through the whole
catalogue of flowers and find for them the
most striking resemblance in the varieties of wo
mankind.
Woman was originally placed in the garden,
and the garden even now seems to be a most
appropriate place for her. She is always seen
to advantage when she is seen extending en
couragement to plants that are backward and
directing the course which the more aspiring
shall pursue. How sweetly she tends the sickly
plant which droops its head beneath the noon
day fervors, and while she gives it the sweet
persuasion of sticks and props, and a cup of cold
water, it seems grateful for her genial attentions,
and seems to try to look fresh and cheerful once
more! She scratches and loosens the earth
around the stem, and takes therefrom every
weed and blade of grass that would suck up its
darling life-blood. Then again how desirously
she teaches the climbing plants! How delicate
ly she assists them in their upward efforts until
step by step they reach tho topmost round of
ambition’s ladder! What taste she exhibits in
the mere arrangement of her plants! She may
have a group here and a group there, but she
more frequently rejoices in combinations of star
ry-eyed beauties in which -di the colors of the
rainbow shall successfully be displayed. It is
true that some cold bDoded economists would
say that a loveiy woman thus employed in mak
ing her homa beautiful wastes her time, but the
sulky fellow misfit with as much reason say that
a woman cnm'oyed in developing and refining
the highest sentiments of her nature is wasting
her time Such emp.oyment of time is in the
noblest sense profitable, and only she wastes her
time who neglects the beautifying of her home
in continual efforts to save a dime or to surplus
dollars in the locker. —Louisville Journal.

THE BEST WAY TO CURE BEANS.
The butter-beau is a most valuable article of
human food, and rarely sells at less than five
dollars a bushel in New York and Boston. Our
practice generally has been to thrash them with
e flail, and to cure then, uch after the 'ollow
ing plan, as described in the Boston Cultn t
Out small second-growth trees, pine, grey,
birch or lir, and trim tiie branches oil; leaving
‘hem about nine or tcu i'- hes long. The cal
culations should be made to have the pole long
enough for a stack, and allow two feet to go
into'the ground, and have a space about a foot
from the ground to where the first prongs come,
so as to keep the beans from the ground. These
can be placed in the field at convenient dis
tances from each other. The process of stack
ing is simple; begin by laying a small handful
of beans into one of the lower prongs of tho
pole, having the stalks or butts lay in the next
the pole; thus laying one handful over tho
other until it is complete; by this means the
leaves come upon the outside of the stack, and
make it impossible for the wet to penetrate,
while the prongs keep them from settling down
too close when in the stack. The advantages
claimed by the author of tho article alluded to
are, that “it is less trouble than any other; you
can take your axe, and in an hour prepare poles
enough to stack your whole field. Small shrub
by trees are to be found near most of our homes,
aud by leaving eight or ten inches of ♦’ «
branches on the tree, there will be ueient
prongs to form a complete stack. The beans,
alter having remained upon the stack a short
time, become settled together, aud are so closely
fastened, that when they are sufficiently dry to
be housed, cut the poles at the top of the
ground, and load the whole stack at once. In
this way beans do not shell, and they can be
loaded in less time and with less trouble. They
dry more thoroughly and more quickly. The
wind has free circulation through them, and I
have myself had beans stacked in this way out
in wet and dull weather for three weeks at a
time, and they have remained bright and with
out moulding all the time.

VEGETABLE GARDENING—ITS PROFITS.
Until very recently gardening here in the
South has been looked upon as a business “that
won’t pay.’ For owners of small farms, how
ever, when suitably located, I know of no busi
ness that will pay better. I know such a vege
table farm of ‘ fifty acres,’’ situated six miles
from New York, which, in spite of an immense
competition and consequently low prices,
will clear “nine thousand a year free of
all expense.'”
The Middle and Southern States bordering on
the Atlautic, are now deriving large profits on
raising and shipping early fruits and vegetables
to the Northern markets. One freight train, for
instance, from Baltimore and Philadelphia,
brought about two thousand bushels of Straw
berries to the latter city on June 7th; the sea
port of Norfolk, Va., is shipping early fruits and
>getables, especially to New York, during the
|"Slh of May, June and July to the amount of
and other places, as Charleston and
._avan\h a ro exporting these articles in pro
portion. \Dii[ they have to contend with a
heavy cc * m 'Ndtion from the Bermuda Islands.
One of tho\^s t openings, however, in horti
culture, is nowXfcring itself in the Southwest
ern part of the All points situated on
the great railroad nV SOO n finished from New
Orleans to Memphis, aud farther uonli
and all places conveuienWo the steamboat navi
gation on the Mississippi, find the raising
of early vegetables very pr& ta bi e .
Early vegetables, so easilyVfised in our fa
vorable Southern climate, can oWofitably ship
ped to St. Louis or even CbicaWv at present
probably the best market in the Uk(pn for early
garden products. Tomatoes, for iriHance, sold
by the first of August, as high as $7 Vr box of
three pecks. This can unquestionably Word to
bear expenses; and as they can be picked Wore
fully ripe, there is no difficulty in shipping f\em.
Cincinnati will soon get its early supply of
strawberries from Mississippi and Louisian*.
Asparagus, ’ tiglish Peas, Snap Beans, Egg-
Plants, Okra, Incumbers, Squashes. Lima Beans,
Onions, will ] ly well, while Turnips, Cabbage
and others to voluminous in proportion to their
value, may o it too much freight to be profita
ble for a disk it market, except where the ship
ping can con eniently be effected by steamboats.
To obtain le full profits of vegetable garden
ing, howevei the soil must be thoroughly and
properly pre] »red, for an inferior crop will never
pay.—[ Cotto Planter and Soil.

we have pleasure!n calling attention to the valuable
compound made at} he Highlands. New Jersey, and en
titled the “NATpNAL FERTILIZER." suited to
staples of every setion.
It is composed of fresh bones, finely ground, and thor
ougly dissolved bypulphuric Acid, thus affording food in

Company's Works a«d Fisheries are very extensive, and
though their enterprise is but recently started, they have
a large and growing trade. They manufacture one Fer

another specifically for Tobacco, and another for Sugar
Cane ; thus giving lo plants those aliments peculiarly

It Is 30 percent less tost per ton than Peruvian Guano,
but requires heavier application as a sure and lasting ren

PROSPECTUS OF THE
SOUTHERN FIELD AND FIRESIDE,
A LITERARY AND AGRICULTURAL PAPER,
Published Weekly, In Augusta, Georgia.
Dr. D. LEE, Agricultural Editor.
W. W. MANN, Literary Editor.
W T M. 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 Farmers,
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. Daniel 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 of the highest reputation.
The Horticultural Editoris Mr. Wm. N. White, 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 Corresjiondent of the Na
tional Intelligencer and Southern Literary Messenger.
THE SOUTHERN FIELD AND FIRESIDE will
combine the useful 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 — Two 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.
Contributions solicited from tße 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.
On matters pertaining to their respective departments,
address the Editors. On matters of business generally,
