Santuc. _ April, 1st.?Ltd I year we were prenature and many gardeu plants were killed, and some tie 11 crop* also; aud it is not ecouemy to plant too early and have the seed killed not to say anything about plantiog over. It is about as great a inistuke to be ever prompt as to be "over-due" aud more so. when the earth is covered by a baking season. Oats are doiug tine, and are beautiful to look ;.t, that O, those sown after the snow, tbr ti>e others area total failure. \\ licit see ins lo be below the average. March Iris not been an "extra" wet month only about four inches of rainfall ami n was much below the uormul for rain l'Ut some say that April will have to "pay back". Some gardening is doing botic, but many gardeners are waiting lor Good Friday. I had the pleasure of speadin3 two or three days in Jonsvilie dnriug the Suuday School Convention which was iu session there the _'Jih. 30th, and 31st of March, and felt wore than paid for driving over the very bumpy roads.
