of that city.Is described by Mr. John V. Wilson, a former President of the Norwich HorticulturalSociety, as of very remarkable size, quite prolific, and continuing long in bearing. Itsonly defect is the same as that of all our largest and finest red raspberries, 7iot perfectlyhardy; must be classed with the Franco/iiu, Brinckhs Orange, Kuevefs Gia7it, etc., butwill bear the same exposure these varieties do, and needs the same protection. The illustration is a very faithful representation of the size of the berries, and its habitsof fruitfulness, being copied from a photograph of a cluster. Its best recommendation is its firmness, which equals the Franconia, and renders it ofgreat value for market purposes. Flavor of the highest character, sprightly and aromatic.It resembles the Brinckles Orange in form of growth, but is not strong enough to dispensewith stakes or trellis. It appears to be, from all the evidence we can obtain from trustworthy sources, a seedlingof extraordinary merit.

202 Tfte Orcfiard. A Pleasant Cottage Home. INQUIRY is made of us very frequently for designs of pretty cottages very cheap, sayless than a cost of 81,500 to $2,000. It is very difficult to produce acceptable designsfor such low-priced houses, because either building materials and labor are too costly towarrant the possibility of cheap homes, or if one can be built for so low a sum, it is almostalways devoid of some ornaments, which seem absolutely necessary to make the cottage anobject of beauty, as well as of convenience. The design we present this month has the merit of both convenience and a reasonabledegree of ornament, and yet will not exceed $2,.500. In the interior of our State t)r coun-try districts, a good carpenter will build it for less than §2,000. In this design the veranda, balcony, eaves, brackets, dormer windows and gables, arevery simple and easily constructed, while the ornamented appearance of the cottage comesfrom the climbing vines and pleasant surroundings intr
