The Garden.

{Written Specially for the Otago Witness). By J. N. Gbigor. To Correspondents. Lachlan Maolachlan.— The dialect in which you express your ideas belongs to the past ages, therefore it was with difficulty we understood your meaning. However, when a subject is understood, courtesy and attention to it are always accorded in these columns, if the question asked is within the bounds of reason. The specimens enclosed are as follow : -Number 1, male catkins of the hazel tree ; 2, the leaves of the bramble, or blackberry ; 3, a mallow ; 4, the spent flower stalk of a cabbage ; 6, cocksfoot grass ; C, a pod of the common broom ; and 7 is what donkeys are very fond of, and is termed a thistle. We would recommend Lachlan to cultivate number 7 for culinary purposes.
