Homan. Its principal vegetables were turnips, the largest of which raised that year weighed a little over six pounds. They seemed particularly crisp and acceptable to our palates, most of us eating them raw, d la Sellers. I never knew before that turnips were so palatable. A few other hardy plants and veget- ables completed the contents of the garden. Gar- dening in this country, however, must be greatly im- peded by the swarms of mosquitoes, while agricul- ture on a considerable scale would be... retarded by the wet and mossy character of the soil. Mr. Harper has chosen a south-eastern slope directly on the river bank, and here the immediate drainage has helped him to overcome the latter obstacle to the success of his garden. We inspected the "barka, " or decked schooner of ten or twelve tons, and I decided to take her, although fear- ing that we might find many more discomforts in her cramped quarters, than upon our old raft. Here, too, the old raft was laid away in peace, perhaps to become kindling-wood for the trader's stove.
