will add, from our own personal knowledge, that
he is one of those in this line with whom it is
quite pleasant and safe to deal.

Some of our finest plants are annuals, and in the
grounds of a newly laid out place they are par
ticularly useful. The foregoing list wo will fol

sirable, to be sown in spring. Those named to
day may still be sown to advantage at all points
below Augusta.

THE POTATO ROT.
W. N. White, Esq. — Dear Sir: According to
promise, I give you my views and theory of the
cause of the centre rot, or dark spot, so frequent
ly found in the tubers of the Irish Potato. The
formation of the tuber is carried on like that of
a tree, by the deposit being made 'on the out
side, or just under the bank or skin of the tu
ber.
The tuber is developed on the ends of the
subterranean stems which shoot from the main
vine. This development takes place soon after
the vine comes above the surface of the
earth, and the late frost, that we generally
have iu the spring of the year, injures the young
tuber, but does not destroy it entirely, and often
after the cold weather is over, the vigor of the
vine is renewed by the warm weather, and the
new deposit made as above stated on the injured
tuber: which of course covers up the injury,
where you find it in the centre of the tuber.
If you will plant the Irish potato the first of
the following mouth, you will find my theory
correct. Plant from the same barrel of potatoes
and do not protect the vines you plant the first
of February from the frost and you will, if the
vines are injured by the frost, find the dark spot
in the centre of those which have been injured
by the cold weather, while the tubers of those
planted in May will be perfectly sound. How
ever if the potato is planted deep as directed iu
my last communication, this will not occur in
those planted early, from the fact that the cold,
unless very severe, will not reach the tuber so
as to injure it; but plant those in February
shallow, like they are generally planted, and
you will find the dark spot, because the cold
reaches the tubers when planted shallow,and de
stroys their vitality. There are two important
advantages, iu planting the Irish potato deep in
this climate ; you protect the young tuber early
in the spring from the late frost, also, from the
heat of the summer sun, and secure it moisture
to the root of the vine which keeps it in a flour
ishing condition all through the season; I be
lieve that the Potato would do better planted
fifteen inches below the level of the surface pro
vided you put in on the clay, plenty of vegeta
ble or stable manure for the plant to feed upon.
By planting deep you secure moisture to the root
of the vine which is very necessary for the sup
port of the tubers. I have secured the most per
fect potatoes by planting the first of May, but I
believe if those which yon desire to plant early
were put down deep any month after Christmas
to May, they would produce fine tubers.
Yours respectfully,
Americus.
We shall tie glad to get the article our corres
pondent so kindly offers, in his private note, on
the arrow root which he cultivates with success.
The tuber offered we shall bo equally glad to
obtain.—Ed.

A LIST OF THE VERY BEST PEARS.
We have already given iu our columns, relia
ble lists of the best Apples and Peaches, and
propose to follow with those of all the leading
fruits and ornamental plants. The finest varie
ties are generally nearly or quite as easily culti
vated as those which are inferior, while the dif
ference in the return of satisfaction they afford,
is very great indeed. We give, this week, a
list of those Pears which, out of the hundred
and sixty varieties we have fruited, the past
two years, have proved the very best. Os the
quality of some of these, our associate in the
agricultural department can speak. We shall
not. at present, givo descriptions, but propose
doing so hereafter. All these are line and desi
rable, but a smaller number of the more select
we have italicised. Some of those elsewhere
recommended highly (like Buerre D’Arembcrg,*)
are not included, because they are not equal to
those mentioned. Os any of these, of which
there is wood to spare, we are willing to furnish
cuttings to our readers, but as it requires a good
deal of time and care to put up these small pack
ages. we shall only furnish them to those per
sons who, for each four to six varieties sent for,
enclose us a year's subscription to the Field
and Fireside. All such applications wo shall
fill, and send prepared the cuttings requested,
about the last of January. Any of our readers
can get a new subscriber to our paper in less
time than wo can put up and label the number
of varieties sent in return. Os those marked
with a star, tliero is generally but a single graft
from which few or no cuttings can be taken-
We give the names, as far as may be, in the
order in which they ripen.

DEVEREUX, OHIO, AND LENIOR GRAPES.
The following from the Southern Cultivator,
may be of some interest to our own readers
The error has been copied in other papers:
Editors Southern Cultivator —ln the Oc
tober number of the Cultivator is the remark :
“ The Devereux, Ohio and Lenoir are nearly, if
not altogether, the same.” As our common
friend, R. Peters, of Atlanta, and myself have
been at some pains to get at the truth of this
matter, there having been great eonfuson hith
erto, we will give you the result of our investi
gations. In order to be absolutely certain, Mr.
Peters sent to the old Devereux place for cut
tings from the original vine, and I have sent
twice to Montgomery, Ala., for cuttings and
vines of the grape there cultivated as Devereux.
We have come to the following conclusions:
1. That there is no really distinct Devereux
Grape; the one cultivated under that name at
Montgomery and sent to our Pomological Exhi
bition and described in our report being the
Ohio, grown in unusually favorable circumstan
ces, and the original vine, cultivated by Devereux
himself, being identical with the Lenoir.
2. The Lenoir and Ohio are totally distinct
Grapes. They differ in season—the Ohio being
two weeks later than Lenoir. They differ, also,
in their habit of bearing—the Ohio being an
enormous bearer and, like most grapes of that
character, very subject to rot, while the Lenoir
always bears a good, but never an extraordinary
crop, and, so far as I know, never rots. The
wood of the two vines differ—Lenoir being
longer jointed, and the bark of a peculiar shade
of red, rendering it easy to distinguish it in
winter from any other vine. The}’- differ in leaf,
also—the leaves of the Lenoir being not gene
rally lobed, while those of Ohio are always dis
tinctly so.
1 These are. perhaps, points enough to mention:
I but I will add, that the Ohio is scarcely worthy
to be retained in culture, while the Lenoir is
not surpassed in value by any Grape we have
at this time in general cultivation.
Yours respectfully,
Wm. X. White.

NOTICE TO FARMERS & PLANTERS.
rpiIKRE is great demand for a strong and permanent
X “ Fertilizer,” and experience of late years has prov
en the inefficiency of imported manure's for securing
crops and renovating soils. To meet the wants of the
times, and give to exhausted lands of the Atlantic and
Gulf countries, a superior fertilizer at moderate cost,
we have pleasure in calling attention to the valuable
compound made at the Highlands, New Jersey, and en
titled the ” NATIONAL FERTILIZER,” suttSa to
staples of every section.
It is composed of frwsh bones, finely ground, and tbor
ougly dissolved by Sulphuric Acid, thus affording food in
ready form for assimilation to plant. With these as con
stituting the basis for Phosphate of Lime, arc then also
commingled large proportions of Marine Fish, King
Crabs, and other Crustacea, yielding the proriortles Am
monia—as deposited by birds of the Guano Islands. To
prevent escape of this volatile element a modicum of
Green Shell Marl is used. By virtue of this the ammonia
resulting from decomjiosed fish, is at once fixed and laid
dormant, till by natural process it is set free, and grad
ually absorbed by vegetation as it progresses. With
three important essentials, Potash and Soda, as combined
with soluble Silica, are chemically manipulated, and the
entire mass is ultimately made fine. dry. and immediate
ly applicable to soil. The “ National Fertilizer,” as
shown in Circulars, is so compounded by change of these
and other valued ingredients, as to he suited in diversi
ties to any particular staple of the United States. The
Company's Works and Fisheries are very extensive, and
though their enterprise is but recently started, they have
a large and growing trade. They manufacture one Fer
tilizer for the Cereal Grains, Cotton, Vegetables. &c..and
another s[>ecillcally for Tobacco, and another for Sugar
Cane ; thus giving to plants those aliments peculiarly
adapted to them, and which, by rotation of crops, they
are known to extract constantly from the land. Analy
ses and certificates establish the results of this manure.
It is 30 percent less cost per ton than Peruvian Guano,
but requires heavier application as a sure and lasting ren
ovator. The National Fertilizer fulfils the two-fold ob
ject of being stimulant to growth, and invigorator to
soil.
Mode of use : broadcast sowing—drilling—or deposit
ing in hills. It jiossesses but half the moisture of Guano,
and suffers less deterioration by carriage.
Price S4O per Ton. of 2000 lbs, but up in strong bags
of 200 poumlseach, or in new barrels, all stanqied with
Company's brand, ami shipped to any order in the United
States. Agents established in all the cities. A fair trial,
with discreet and liberal attention, is solicited.

IMPORTANT TO PLANTERS.
THE RICHMOND FACTORY, Richmond county,
Ga., continues to manufacture WOOLEN CLOTH
at 12X 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
foffpast 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 being
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, j
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, j
when made, returned to the points directed. Each i>ar
cel is made up in the turn received.
AVe would especially urge upon our patrons the great I
necessity of sending in the wool as soon as clipped ; if
this rule is followed, the parties would always be sure of (
having the cloth in ample time.

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.
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 arc 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 I)r. Daniel Lice, the dis
tinguished Ifrofessor 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 those departments, and au
thor of that popular work, “Gardening for the South.”
The Literary Editor is Mr. W. W. M*xx, 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
v as for several years the Paris Correspondent 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
