“{{w|Charles David Badham|Dr. Badham}} and others give us such attractive accounts of the {{w|Gastronomy|gastronomic}} charms of {{w|Fungus|Fungi}}, the quantity of nourishment contained in them, and the desirability of out better appreciation of their excellencies, that we set about making ourselves acquainted with them with hearty good will.”

“{{w|Henry David Inglis|Inglis}}, in his work on the "Channel Islands," gives a most interesting picture of the {{w|seaweed}} harvest in {{w|Jersey}}. On the 10th of March and on the 20th of July, all the inhabitants repair to the shore, with such vehicles as they can press into their service, and they gather the weed in great quantities. Some they dry and use for fuel, and the remainder is laid upon the land as manure. It suits potatoe land remarkably well, and on this account is eagerly seized upon in Ireland, where it is carried at least fifteen miles inland.”

“The pretty white {{w|Helleborus niger|Christmas Rose}}, so called because of its flowering at that season, is also a {{w|Hellebore}}, and its {{w|Calyx (botany)|calyx}} is a brilliant white. Its beauty and purity, as well as the season when it blooms, insure it being a favourite in every garden.”

“We repaired to the {{w|fernery}}. The powdery appearance was caused by glands scattered all over the {{w|frond}}; this, and its general aspect, showed it to be the {{w|Polypodium cambricum|Limestone Polypody}}. No locality could be more favourable to its growth than these woods, where the immense boulders of {{w|limestone}} greeting us at every step left no room to doubt the nature of the rock.”
