We have received from the farm and garden of Judge McHenry, at Oakland, some of the finest vegetables we have yet seen grown in this State. They were not so very large, but yet full size, well and handsomely grown; fine grain and smooth skin, finely formed, and giving evidence by their appearance of having been grown in fine, deep, well-cultivated soil. The variety shown us were Beets, Parsnips, and Carrots, as samples of several acres, all of the same quality; finer specimens can not be had. For these, and the kind invitations to visit the grounds we return our thanks, and we already anticipate much pleasure from a ramble over that beautiful spot We rejoice that our citizens are thus turning their attention to the cultivating and beautifying our bright spots - this, this will make California prosperous.
