"I here are two varieties of this plant, the whie-fruited and the purple, cultiva- ted for culinary purposes; the latter kind preferable, and, when sliced and nicely fried, approaches, both in flavor, nearer to that of a very nico fried oyster, than, perhaps, any other plant.

 :" This delicious vegetable may be prop -agated by sowing the seed on a slight hot bed, the beginning of 1riI, or in March and towards the latter part of May, they should be planted in rich, warm piece of ground, at the distance of two and half feet asunder, every way, for the purple, or two feet for the white kind; and if kept clean, and little earth be drawn up to the stems, when about foot high, they will produce plenty of fruit. Or the seed may be sown about the end of April, on a warm border, and planted ont finally, the beginning of June; but these will be ra&h- CT late land will not produce fruit so abund- antly, in the Middle or Eastern States, as by the former method. ."-McMahon.
