Tarring

Tarring. - In the fig orchard, thirty-seven large trees were destroyed, or severely injured, by the winter of 1837-8; but a number of young trees have been since planted, and these and the remaining old ones are covered with a more than usually heavy crop of fruit. We found the Brompton stocks here remarkably strong; and a spot in the garden was pointed out to us, in which whatever kind of stock, whether red, purple, or white, is planted, becomes variegated.
