B* to present their Annual Catalogue of Fruit Trees, and solicit the favour of your esteemed orders, which shall receive their careful attention. Intending pur- chasers, proposing to pay a visit, will oblige by giving a day’s notice. All visitors interested in Horticulture, whether purchasers or not will be welcome. For Railway routes see second page of cover. N.B.—Please add a duplicate list of extra kinds with all orders, in case any desired sort should be sold out; failing instructions, G. B. & Co. usually fill orders by substituting similar sorts under their correct names, unless advised to the contrary. Not accountable for losses by frost, or damage in transit, and all goods are sent at owners’ (purchasers) risk, unless otherwise crdered. All orders receive G. B. & Co.’s best attention, and will be carefully packed. Where the selection of kinds is left to them, they will pick trees that must give satisfaction. All the varieties offered are in stock. Prices are quoted for trees of the usual planting sizes. Extra Large Fruiting Trees can be supplied at special enhanced prices. Customers will oblige by adding the prefix, Lady, Mrs., Miss, Lord, Dr., Rev., General, &c., to their names to ensure correctness, and it may save correspondence if the Order Form is consulted before writing. Kindly let enquires be separate from orders. The Best New Fruits recently sent out are included. Special attention is directed to the new “‘ Guinea”’ Raspberry, new Pears, and our “‘ Allington Pippin” Apple. G. B. & Co. confidently state that their stock contains the finest of the old and new varieties. The wood is well ripened, and in quantity, cleanliness, freedom from blight, and general health, the stock is unique. . The Fruit department has Mr. George Bunyard’s special expert superintendence. Purchasers may therefore depend upon having Trees true to name. Constant attention is directed to prove every sort propagated. The soil of the Nurseries is so specially suited for Fruits that the Maidstone Trees will be found unusually clean and healthy in growth, and with remarkably good roots; in fact, Trees from these Nurseries (by the testimony of customers in all parts) succeed better than any others, as G. B. & Co., by skilful culture, lay a sure foundation for permanent success. It will at once be evident that it is best to deal direct with a responsible firm, who grow what they sell. Buyers may depend on good value; the ‘‘ paper” price of Fruit Trees is no guide to their real worth, and G. B. & Co. challenge comparison. Market Fruit Growers will find profitable kinds extensively grown, and G. B. & Co. are in a position to execute orders to any extent. A separate Market Fruit List at special prices, may be had free, on application; and their new publication, ‘* A Year’s work on a Kentish Fruit Farm,”’ 1/0 post free, is commended to all cultivators for profit. ‘ In order to meet the wishes of Amateurs and possessors of Villa Gardens, devoting attention to fruit, G. B. & Co. publish separately a series of Cultural Hints, entitled ‘‘Modern Fruit and Rose Culture,” offered post free for 1/0, which it is hoped may enable cultivators to attain a greater measure of success. Scottish and Northern customers should refer to the special list of suitable fruits, Ferms of Business, Cmpttes, Ke.

Bunyarp and Co. will not be responsible for mistakes, nor do they warrant any article sold. Admitted errors or failures will be compensated liberally, such however rarely occur, because the whole Nursery is under constant supervision, and an enormous retail trade has been mainly buclt up by selling trees ‘‘ true to name,” and healthy in growth. Naming Fruit.—Mr. Gzorcz Bunyarp, V.M.H., F.R.H.S., will (at his leisure) endeavour to name fruit of all kinds for customers ; if numbered and sent carriage paid. A duplicate list should be posted, with a stamped addressed envelope for reply. Fruit cannot be returned, and foliage should be sent where practicable. Non-customers may have fruit named on above lines; but a minimum fee of 1/0 per dozen must be enclosed, which will be given to the Gardening Charities.

Medium, of excellent flavour, with scarlet cheek and russet markings, an enormous cropper; the tree is a good grower, free from canker.

Large, a nicely flavoured fruit, makes a large standard. Large, a valuable hardy yellow fruit; free bearer, and sound keeper; very fine, often fruiting when apples are gcarce. Small, neat grower, rich flavour; great bearer, forming handsome garden trees. Small; excellent, with delicious uromatic flavour and soft texture; best from the tree; should be lightly pruned, as it bears at the points of the shoots. Good as this old kind is, it must give way to Lady Sudeley, which eclipses it in all points. Medium, a dessert fruit from Scotland, of fine flavour ; it succeeds where Cox’s is tender; first-rate bearer, and of handsome appearance. A.M., R.H.S , October 12th, 1897. One of the best apples recently introduced, may be styled an early Cox’s Orange. Dwarfs, 2/6. Small, first early yellow aromatic apple; ripe here middle of July; a good garden fruit. Medium, one of the best early apples; rich aroma. On Paradise, forms fertile garden trees, and on Crab, good market orchard trees. Large, a handsome striped fruit; makes a fine spreading Orchard tree. Very small, a good early sort; best if left to ripen on the tree; the richest fruit of its season ; forms prolific trees on the Paradise stock, or as Espaliers. Medium, a good bearer, useful old early yellow kitchen apple, succeeding in all soils and situations, but super- seded by Lord Grosvenor, Grenadier, and Gold Medal. Medium, a fine late Codlin, which cooks and keeps well. Medium, a golden flat fruit of good flavour and appear- ance. Garden Trees, 2/6, 3/6. Medium, very handsome, well-known variety, great and constant bearer, sweet, with soft flesh, rich golden yellow color; but requires a warm situation. We grow the best upright colory variety. Enormous, handsome, and of fine rich flavour; resembles Beauty of Kent; valuable for culture in warm places or pots; keeps very firmly ; soft flesh, extra ; promises to make a fine orchard standard, bears freely in the Nursery. 2/6, 5/0. Small, striped, very pretty, with soft flesh and pleasant flavour, bears freely when established. Large, upright grower, very fine rich Blenheim flavour, a good dessert or kitchen fruit: robust, hardy, and suitable for exposed places. F.C., R.H.S. Large, for a dessert fruit. We sent this out in 1885. F.C., R.H.S., and Royal Caledonian. The finest early dessert fruit of recent introduction, the gem of all autumn apples; recommended for its wonderful rich spicy flavour, aroma, and appearance; beautifully striped with crimson, with soft melting flesh. Like all early apples, it is at its best when eaten from the tree, and will then remain a month in use, but looses flavour when stored. It bears on the points of shoots and therefore must be allowed to grow naturally with slight pruning. Now a Standard variety. Large, extremely handsome striped fruit, very prolific; most desirable for garden culture, keeping sound for six months; its fertility is remarkable ; not suitable for orchard culture, as the weight of crop causes the tree to weep, and thus brings it into the reach of cattle; highly recommended for market and plantation work, and indispensable for cultivation in small villa gardens, while Cordons or Pyramids, on the Paradise stock, produce grand exhibition fruit.

It may be planted where Suffield will not succeed. Medium. This new kind is a good upright grower. excellent bearer, with russet and bright color; capital flavour; will be a great addition to late dessert sorts. F.C., R.H.S. 1 year, 2/6. Large, showy, profuse and early bearer, one of the best kitchen sorts. Tree tender, not recommended for culture in damp situations; succeeds best in light loamy or stony soil. It is not advisable to plant this for market when Grenadier, Gold Medal, Potts, and Kcklinville can always be relied on for a crop. Medium, handsome, of great excellence; good bearer. Medium, fiesh yellow, rich, sugary and tender; abun- dant bearer; requires well drained soil; delicious. Medium, good bearer; fine for small gardens; a slow grower; a piquant sauce or jelly apple.

Medium, a most delicious conical fruit, rich and aromatic; does admirably as a Pyramid, and is good, even in the North. One of the best flavoured kinds, with soft flesh. Medium, the earliest table apple; mottled red with yellow streaks, carrying a bloom like a plum; good flavour, free bearer, a valuable kind for market culture; most prolific on Paradise; prune sparingly. F.C., R.H.S. Large and handsome; compact growing, prolific, of excellent cooking quality. Dwarfs, 1/6. Garden trees only. Large, a fine late hardy sort, flesh firm.

Grorcze Bunyarp & Co. call special attention to this grand new and distinct Apple, of which they purchased the stock, and to avoid confusion it will be called ‘* Allington Pippin.” The woodcut will give an idea of its size, &c., and G. B. & Co. believe it will prove to be the best new kind sent out since Cox’s Orange Pippin. It possesses a full rich aroma, and has a trace of the fine flavour of the old Golden Reinette; makes a fine Garden Tree in any form, and a medium sized Orchard Tree. It bears freely, and is healthy and vigorous in growth; has the merit of succeeding where Cox’s Orange fails, and is thus described and figured in the Royal Horticultural Society’s Journal, Vol. xvii., page 166: “A variety of excellent quality; said to be a cross with King Pippin and Cox’s Orange. Fruit medium sized, oval, inclined to conical; eye deep set, stalk slender, colour dull yellow, streaked with red on the sunny side ; hardy, robust constitution, and said to be a good bearer.’’ First Class Certi- ficate (unanimous), asSouth Lincoln Beauty.

Of diffuse growth on Paradise; requires roots well pruned to induce fertility in a young state. Its good qualities and excellent flavour recommend it for general culture and exhibition. As a Standard it takes some years before it comes to profit. Worthy of a West wall, and is then superb. F.C., R.H.S. Small; a pretty golden russet fruit, of rich flavour. Medium, of very fine flavour, distinct and valuable. Large; abundantly prolific, succeeding in town gardens better than any other ; certainly one of the most useful Codlin apples; fertile on either stodk. Invaluable for market plantation culture on a large scale, though subject to canker in places. A handsome new dessert fruit. A.M., RH.S. 3/6, 5/- Medium; compact grower, great bearer; golden yellow; makes a good close Orchard tree, and is fertile and beautiful on Paradise. Medium, a favourite late kind. Very large; a very fine late fruit, keeping soundly. Dwarfs, 2/6. Large: a garden fruit of great excellence, soft flesh, succeeding in warm soils as an open Standard, but it is best on Paradise as a garden tree, especially as a Cordon. Medium, a well-known sort, succeeds best on Paradise stock. The finest fruit is produced on Espaliers and Cordons; not suitable for an orchard tree, and should only be planted in warm soils and aspects. There is an exploded myth that this old fruit is dying out, but by working only from vigorous trees and on Paradise stock the canker has been cured, and the fruit pro- duced is grand in size and finish. Medium, a free growing hardy sort, of first-rate flavour and appearance. Small, highly flavoured, russety, with bronzy crimson; soft fleshed ; excellent as a Standard, and most prolific, forming fertile Pyramids on Paradise. Large; this old variety had almost fallen out of culture, but on trial we have no hesitation in calling it the best dessert kind. It is melting in flesh, very aromatic and richly flavoured, brisk and agreeable; on the Paradise stock it becomes fruitful, and is worthy of a place in the most select garden list. Much richer in flavour than Cox’s Orange or Ribston, and unly needs to be tasted to secure appreciation. No large trees. Do not gather too early, and try on a wall. Large, distinct ; habit compact, but free; very stout and firm, so that the fruit does not fallin windy times; so late in flowering that it always crops. We have xo hesitation in recommending it as a sterling valuable sort. Clear lemon colour, free from canker ; fine to graft on old stems. .A market apple, which will supplant softer kinds ; does well North. : Large, very handsome, perhaps the finest russet sent out. F.C., R.H.8. Scarce. Dwarfs, 2/6; Standards, 5/0. Medium; a new dessert from from Messrs. Rivers. A.M., R.H.8. Dwarfs, 3/6, 5/0. Large; a late apple, from the Prince of Wales gardens; of good flavour, hardy, and a free grower and bearer. F.C., R.H.S. Medium, a heavy handsome fruit, which the late Mr. Anthony Waterer considered the best he grew, free bearer and excellent. Dwarfs, 2/6. Small, very handsome in colour and shape, flesh tender and delicious; too slender for Standards, but prolific on Paradise as garden trees. 14 (APPLES.) GEORGE BUNYARD & CO.’S FRUIT CATALOGUE.

Our own Fruit House is merely a match- boarded shed thatched thickly, and it answers the purpose admirably, and has been much commended by visitors, and, by request, is described and figured in R.H.S. transactions. This admirable place for keeping fruit enabled us to set up 40 dishes of late Apples at the Temple Show, May 28rd, 1894, for which we were awarded a Gold (gilt) Medal, and Silver Cups, 1895-6-7; at the latter show 80 kinds were set up in remarkable condition, and they were specially admired by H.R.H, The Prince of Wales and his family. 16 (APPLES.) GEORGE BUNYARD & CO.’S FRUIT CATALOGUE. The Journal of Horticulture said ‘‘ There are no Apples now in the markets, English or Foreign, which can at all compare with this grand exhibit of ‘‘ Kentish fruit.’’? The principal point in preserving fruit is to allow it time to become thoroughly ripened before gathering, and then to keep the store at an even temperature. We shall be happy to send photographs, with printed description, as a guide to intending builders of Fruit Rooms, on receipt of 2/6.

It would be advisable for gardeners to keep ‘a reserve of young trees coming on. Chalk and brick rubbish mixed with the soil is pre- ferable to richly manured borders; a summer mulching should always be given if a heavy crop is set. ‘The Autumnal rains frequently cause a late growth, and thus dispose Apricots to a sndden check wher early frosts come; to obviate this, the borders should be covered to throw off the wet, removing the cover in February. : For successful Apricot culture in these Nurseries under Glass, see ‘* Modern Fruit Culture,’”’ 1/0 post free.

The American kinds produced fine fruit in this locality iu 1889, owing to the warm May and June, but are not to be depended on, and we doubt if they will ever be of any commercial value.

Kinds marked p are of the Duke race; u, of the Heart or Bigarreau; M, of the Morella or Kentish. Those marked D and w succeed and form beautiful and prolific Pyramids or Cordons ; they are also grand Cherries for walls. If ‘very early”’ fruit is wanted plant on a §. or S.E. wall. On the other hand, if very late fruit is required, plant on a North wall. Wall trees produce immense fruit for Exhibition or Dessert. The Tartarian, Black Eagle, St. Margaret’s, Blacks; and Napoleon, Governor Wood, Emperor Francis, Florence and Bigarreau, White Cherries, are most desirable for keeping. It may be well to remark that the Heart Cherries (x) do not generally succeed as Pyramidal Trees, being liable to gum under the severe pruning requisite to keep them in shape. If however they are partially root pruned every year, and summer pinched, they can be grown well, when protected by netting. The culture of Cherries in a cheap cold house, constructed for the purpose, is both profitable and inter- esting. Owing to the birds, it is seldom they are preserved until thoroughly ripe. Under house culture Oherries attain a size and colour seldom seen, while the flavour is most delicious. All that is required is to prevent aphides, keep the roots well supplied with water, admit fresh air freely, and syringe frequently in the early stages of growth. 60 kinds can be seen in our Trial House.

In connection with the careful Gathering and Storing of Fruit, we beg to insert a Drawing, and to call attention to the ingenious trays patented and introduced by Mr. Henry Aparr Orr, of Bedford. The advantage of these trays is that the fruit can be placed upon them direct from the tree, and then be stored one upon another in a very limited space, and at the same time be readily seen and examined. This handy contrivance was deservedly awarded a Silver Medal by the R.H.S., and specimens can be seen in our Fruit Room. Orders and enquiries should be sent to Mr. Orr direct.

Early Pears are best gathered before they are quite mature—later sorts are fit to pull when the stalk swells over the spur, and they readily part from the spur when lifted up; do not hurry picking, because a few fall, as they are generally maggoty. Late Pears should remain on the tree as long as possible to perfect. In Apples—The Summer Dessert Fruits are best eaten direct from the tree, and Autumn Kitchen sorts the same, or they can be stored for a limited time. In later Apples, wait till they drop a little, and if the fallen fruits are perfect, cut one open, and they are ready to store if the seeds (pips) are black ripe. Every care must be used to prevent bruising; read also carefully the other remarks made with the various Fruits. Exhibitions of Hardy Kentish Fruits. G. B. & Co. have for 13 years been the Champion Exhibitors, and it must be conceded that the grand specimens set up by them have gone far to raise the standard of Fruit Culture in this Country, and show the public what can be done in this direction, and demonstrate how infinitely superior British fruit is to that imported. To show the wide range our Prize Exhibits have taken, we may say that the following Cities and Towns have been visited with collections :— Aberdeen Dundee Margate Ashford Edinboro’ Newport, Mon.

Trees received during frost should (without unpacking) be placed in a warm cellar or frost-proof house till the return of suitable weather for planting, and thus treated will take no harm. Trees should not have their roots dried by the wind or sun. In planting, the small fibres should be well spread out, and the main coarse roots slightly shortened with a sharp knife; any injured roots should be cut clean away. Plums, Peaches and Nectarines may be pruned back the first year of planting, in April; and, if planted early, Apples, Cherries, Apricots, and Pears as garden trees, may be treated in the same way, but they generally succeed better if allowed to grow for a season without pruning. In soil already rich, no manure need be put in with the roots at planting time, but a mulching on the surface (about 3 feet surface round the stem) will be very beneficial. The fibres should be well enveloped in fine soil, aud the tree firmly staked at once. Never plant a tree deeply, it is safer to err at the other extreme. In wet soils plant on the surface and make a mound over the roots of the tree. Should the soil prove poor, some well-decayed manure should be mixed with it at planting time. It is important that trees should be pruned with a good sharp knife (see page 49). The pruning scissors and Secateurs will be found very suitable for summer nipping, as well as ordinary pruning, while the French parrot-billed shears save labour in October root pruning. It is very difficult to give general rules for pruning in a catalogue, and many Apples and Pears will not fruit under the hard cutting necessary to form handsome Pyramids, without corresponding attention to the roots. We should advise, where that has been tried without fruit resulting, that the trees be pruned partially for a time, when they will probably become fruitful. As many bear on the extremities of the shoots, the special habit of each kind should have the pruner’s attention. If a tree becomes fertile it continues so. The set shape should give way to its natural habit if that means fruitfulness. If half as much attention were bestowed on the roots as is given to the summer and winter pruning, a better state of things would be seen in most gardens. Cordon, Espaliers, Pyramids and Wall Trees should not be pruned too early, as this induces a second growth. We consider the first week in August a good time. Late Puantep TreEs.—It is a capital plan to dip the roots in a thick soup, made of clay and earth {puddling), before planting; this adheres to the roots and assists them in resisting spring droughts. . Pruning Orchard and Plantation Trees. If these are planted before Christmas, Plums and Damsons may be pruned the following March; but after many years’ experience, we consider that they, as well as Pears, Apples and Cherries, are more likely to form healthy growing trees if left unpruned for a year. Our reason for this is that the foliage is earlier on unpruned trees and consequently more root power is developed; after a summer’s growth the tree, when pruned back, will make long and strong shoots, which will form 4 good foundation; as looking to future profits, it is much better to form a TREE before fruit checks growth. ‘l'rees heavily pruned when first planted only make useless spray, and should such form fruit buds, the after growth of the tree is checked for years. Orchard trees planted after January should not be pruned at all. Black and Red Currants may be pruned the first year of planting, and Gooseberries the same year if set before January; otherwise let them grow a year without pruning. Raspberries should be cut back to 2ft. at planting time. Keepine Fruir.—A cool even temperature is best for this purpose. We have had great success in preserving our Pears and Apples in a cheaply constructed Fruit House, set on the soil, made of match board, and thickly thatched. We shall be pleased to send direction for building a Fruit Room, price 2/6. Re-Grafting. In many orchards there are large free growing trees that seldom crop, or which produce poor fruit. Such would be fine stocks to graft upon, and would bear fruit in two years. Those kinds named in our select lists would be suitable for this purpose. The old trees should be headed back in February, purchase the grafts then, and lay them in soil until wanted for grafting at the end of March or April. Grafts in February or March. Prices for Grafts for garden use, except new or scarce sorts at higher prices, in small lots, will be 3/0 per dozen; where 25 or 100 of each are required special prices will be quoted. New sorts are 1/0 each where tree are quoted at 2/6 each, and so on in proportion. BIG TREES.—To Wust or Eneuanp Pranters.—In these districts it is the custom to plant very old and strong wooded trees, and G. B. & Co. would call attention to the fact that this is exactly the wrong way to raise an orchard. In these large examples the best fibrous roots are gone, and the trees suffer for years from removal. An Orchard tree of 3 to 5 years is far better; such examples have young active roots and take to the new situation at once if properly staked, and after a year’s growth they should be pruned back, and will then beat the “old style trees’’ both in growth and fertility. So much is this the case that our best Market Growers will not plant trees over 2 years old. Trees For tHe Norta—rrom us.—A County Council Lecturer writes:—‘‘I am glad to say that I have exploded the fallacy of trees from the South being unsuitable for Northern districts. The Fruit Trees from your Nurseries have done remarkably well, and beaten those from elsewhere.” This is simply because a well ripened tree can be planted anywhere with success, : 48 GEORGE BUNYARD & 00S FRUIT CATALOGUE. The adaptability of the “ Quince’’ stock for Pears, and the “ Paradise’? for Apples, has been fully proved at the Chiswick Fruit Conference and competitive exhibitions. We illustrate from nature in the set of Woodcuts below specimens showing the mass of roots these stocks produce on the surface, where they obtain all the benefit of the sun’s warmth, and stimulating action from manurial mulchings and waterings. The secret of producing large and fine Fruit for Table or Exhibition is to have trees upon these stocks for Garden culture; to feed liberally when a crop is set, but not otherwise. Quince Stock Wild Crab Apple Stock Paradise Stock (for Pears). (for Orchard Trees). (for Apples). Insects and Blights affecting Fruit Trees. Information is often asked on the above, and we therefore give a few general hints; fuller particulars can be found in “ Fruit Farming for Profit.” _ AputpEs.—The Black Fly on Cherries is very injurious, and should have attention as soon as the leaf shows curl and harbours any fly. If local, sprinkle with tobacco dust and syringe next day, and repeat again in three days time. If general, wash with 2ozs. of shag tobacco steeped with loz. of soft soap in 2 gallons of hot water. Syringe well under the leaves in a warm state. If the growth is long enough, dipping is most effectual, and economizes the liquid, or a stronger solution of the Green Fly mixture can be used. Green Fiy (White Fly, or Lice) on Plums and the Red Fly on Pears and Apples can all be treated as for Black Fly at half the etrength, or in place of tobacco 4ozs. of quassia chips can be used with the soft soap. For’Peaches and Nectarines the mixture requires well diluting, as the young growth is very tender, and two or three weak applications are preferable to one strong one, as that will often bring off the foliage. It is best to do the work if possible in the evening and syringe next day with clear tepid water, to clean the foliage. Other mixtures are Fowler’s Insecticide, Gishurst Compound, Fir Tree Oil, and Nicotine Soap ; which contain directions on each case, and are sold by most Florists and Seedsmen. Amertoan Bricut (Woolly Aphis).—This is very injurious to Apples, and makes itself known by a white woolly substance in the cracks of the bark and in the leaf axles, and at any wound in the bark. It can be quickly got rid of on old trees by rubbing in Gishurst Compound, Soft Soap, and weak Parrafin with a soft brush, or by Fir Tree Oil. Or, on young and more tender trees, by mixing 1 gallon of warm water to a pint of Jeyes Sanitary Fluid, in which 160 grains only of Corrosive Sublimate is stirred. This requires care, as the latter is a poison. Rep Sriper —All fruit trees seem liable to this pest, which makes itself evident by the foliage losing its green colour, and in Peaches and Nectarines assuming a whitish tinge. In Vines it can be cured by placing sulphur on the hot water pipes, and syringing freely with tepid water the next day. if the fruit is not too far advanced. Trees in the open can be syringed with the compound named for Aphides, of various strengths, washing with tepid clear water afterwards. It attacks the under side of the foliage, and it is therefore necessary to keep the syringe low down, as unless the the leaves are well saturated the minute insects escape. In dry spring weather Gooseberries are often taken with it before the foliage is developed. Timely attention will save the crop, which would otherwise fall from want of nourishment. For Field crops 4lbs. Liver of Sulphur, 4Ibs. Soft Soap, to 100 gallons of water, is a good wash. N.B.—These matters are treated at length in our “ Fruit Farming for Profit,” chapter 20, and also jn +©A Year’s work on a Kent Fruit Farm,” «KENT, THE GARDEN OF ENGLAND.” 49 GoosEBERRY CATERPILLAR.—The appearance of this pest is soon observed, if only appearing in isolated spots the larvee can be picked off by hand. If a larger area is affected, a dusting with Hellebore Powder will kill them at once, but as this is poison the fruit must be washed before use (in green state). Bia Bup.—Big Bud in the Black Currant has no known cure; the affected buds should be pieked off and bnrnt, and the trees should be heavily manured and allowed to make strong young wood, which to a degree overcomes the evil. Sprays are of little use, as the mixture fails to reach the well-protected larvee enveloped in the buds. Winter Mora.—This and other larve which eat the foliage of Apples, Plums, Cherries and Pears, early in the Spring, can, on Orchard trees, be checked by placing a band of Willesden paper round the stem, and dressing this with Evesham grease early in October to end of February, renewing the grease once a month; it is at this season that the females ascend the trees to lay their eggs. In May or June, if the leaves appear joined or curled together, they can be pinched between the finger and thumb to kill the small contained larvze (caterpillars), as in gardens it is dangerous to use sprays of a poisonous nature. Garden trees can be protected with grease bands; but each stem should be banded, otherwise the moths will cover the trees with eggs. . Weevis.—lIi the foliage is eaten and no enemy appears by daylight, it is probable that they are attacked by Weevils, which work at night. The trees should be quietly approached with a lantern and be shaken over a white cloth, and the insects killed with boiling water. Russisx.—A great. point should be to burn at once all prunings of fruit trees and bushes, and the rubbish quarter should be at some distance from the fruit trees, as it harbours all kinds of insect pests. CanxER.—Much controversy has arisen over this point, which experts now consider to arise from some necessary ingredient being absent from the soil. The injury may be increased by the action of small insects which take advantage of the rough surface to harbour and increase. The affected parts should be cut clean away and the wound be dressed with painter’s knotting, and, if the soil is top dressed with the following— Superphosphate of Lime, 35lbs; Nitrate of Potash (Saltpetre) 21lbs; Nitrate of Soda, 28lbs; Sulphate of Lime, 21lbs; sprinkled on the surface at 40z. to the square yard, applied in Autumn and Spring (Mr. Rivers’ formulz), or to save trouble with Pearson’s Chemical Manure, the disease will in time disappear. There is no doubt that it is also induced by too deep planting; and therefore the smaller trees should be lifted up, their roots pruned, and the tree be planted in such a manner that in fresh soil they may be induced to root nearer the surface. In Orchard trees canker is started by gunshot wounds, and on broken and bruised boughs, by careless gathering, and the pressure and barking by ladders in gathering. Scatz.—Frequently small trees and other forms of apples and pears appear to be greyish in the stems. This is caused by innumerable mussel scale insects which adhere to the bark and quickly stop the healthy growth of the tree. They may be checked by timely application of sweet oil, or if very severe, diluted paraffin may be applied at intervals as required, or the Jeyes Fluid mixture named for the American blight. Brrps.—The Sparrow and the Bullfinch are the most serious enemies to fruit crops, and these birds and their nests should be destroyed whenever found. Where gardens are near woods and enclosures, netting all soft fruit must be carried out. The useful part that all summer birds (migrants) take in keeping down insects should protect them from all harm, and those that are always with us, such as the Blackbird, Thrush, Tomtit, &c., although very troublesome at times, are the gardeners’ friends at heart. The Cuckoo feeds on the Gooseberry caterpillar and should not be disturbed. An ingenious trap, made by Gilbertson & Page, Hertford, is highly recommended. It is similar to a lobster pot and the birds are taken alive, often in large numbers. The Best Sheffield Cutlery.

(a) for Dessert, (b) for Cooking. With a view to removing difficulties and resolving doubts as to the distinction to be drawn between Dessert and Kitchen Apples, Pears, and Plums, the Council of the Royal Horticultural Society have caused the following lists to be prepared for the guidance of their Judges at the Society's Exhibitions and Shows. The Council fully recognise that the line of separation between Dessert and Kitchen Fruits must be entirely arbitrary, and to a great extent a matter of taste—which differs widely. They do not, therefore, wish it to be supposed that the varieties named in the one list are unfit for use in the other. Everyone is at liberty to use a variety for any purpose he likes, but in their opinion a fixed line of division between the two classes, for Exhibition purposes, is absolutely necessary to secure uniformity, and avoid con- fusion and disappointment at their shows. The Council are also fully aware that some varieties of beautiful appearance, which do not in their opinion come up to Dessert Standard as regards flavour, are often placed on the dessert table. Every one is at liberty to ornament their tables with brightly coloured fruits as well as with beautiful flowers; but beauty in fruits, although a great additional advantage when it accompanies flavour and quality, does not, when standing alone, entitle a variety to rank in the technical exhibition sense as a Dessert Fruit. It would be impossible to draw up lists with which everyone would agree, as to the position assigned to each individual variety, and it is only by mutual concessions that a general working agreement can be reached, but that it isa good thing to endeavour to bring about such agreement the Council have no doubt whatever. The following list will be found to include the great majority of varieties at present shown for exhibition. In the case of those not named herein, the Judges must decide for themselves in which class they will put them, always bearing in mind the principles expressed in the preceding paragraphs. Judges are requested in the case of any variety of sterling merit coming to their notice, omitted here, to notify their action to the Secretary of the Royal Horticultural Society, with a view to future revision of the liste. The object of the following lists should be borne in mind. It is only to decide between Dessert and Cooking varieties. It is in no sense to recommend any, much legs all those mentioned, as being desirable varieties to plant. Such advice should be sought elsewhere.

EORGE BUNYARD & Co, in presenting their Annual Rose List, have the pleasure of offering a very large stock in fine clean condition, and in exceptionally well-rooted plants. Standards have done well, and are quoted at lowest prices; Teas give a full crop and prices are further reduced. Roses are grouped under their colours, and we hope this system will greatly facilitate the selection of suitable flowers. Those who require a variety will do well to leave the matter in G. B. & Co.’s hands; ordering for example, 3 out of A, 1 from B, 4 from C, 2 from D, 1 from E, 1 from G, for 12, and so on. Many very fine New kinds are offered. The classifying of Roses to colour must be taken as approximate; as a cut Rose one day may be in Class A, and the next in Class B. Soil, season, and situation making a great difference. G. B. & Co. solicit your early orders, and would ask you to add a supplemental list, in case any sort being in great demand should be sold out. Rose Labels.—The Acme Rose Labels are particularly recommended. Supplied to buyers’ own lists.—See L/lustration. Price Per Dozen, 1s. 6d. Per Gross, 16s. 6d. FOR ROSES The Public often suppose that G. B. & Co., only grow Fruit Trees; but Roses are always a feature of the Nurseries, and the stock approaches 30,000 this year, while 60 acres of Conifers, Shrubs, &c., are grown also. N.B.—November and December are the best months for transplanting Roses, but with care they may be planted until April; some are especially prepared for late removal, while many are kept as dwarfs, in pots, which are removable at any season. G. B. & Co. do not hold themselves responsible for losses by frost or drought after the plants leave their Nurseries. See notes above ‘Tea Roses” as to protection in Winter.

Some Rose buyers are led astray by the idea that a soil which pro- duces prize flowers must be good for the production of Rose Trees. Our soil being sandy loam, produces, we venture to say, the FINEST ROOTED plants in the Trade, which cannot fail to do well, taking much better than plants from heavy soils, which pushing deep tap roots, send up strong growths, too often blind at the base. The Maidstone Roses are specially grown for sale, fully ripened, and can be cut back without loss. GEORGE BUNYARD & CO., MAIDSTONE. 63 A FEW HINTS ON ROSE CULTURE. Roses are too often crowded into borders filled with shrubs and herbaceous plants. The “ Queen of Flowers” resents this treatment and refuses to unfold her charms. The best plan is to make separate beds for Roses, away from the shade of trees and in the best positions in the garden, reserving the warmest spot for the Teas. The ground should first be trenched deeply (2 to 3 spits), adding the richest manure available (say cow and horse dung), which should be mixed in the soil as the work proceeds, and if clayey the bed should be drained ; if sandy and light, procure some heavier soil and mix it with the manure, taking out the original soil to make room for the fresh material; lay the land up roughly for the winds and frost to improve it. Presuming that the summer notes have been consulted and the desired trees ordered: on arrival they should be at once unpacked, and if dry immerse the roots in a pail of water for six hours, then prune the roots back sparingly and plant at once in position, taking care to envelope the roots with fine soil and to plant them firmly and not too deeply, say place the “bud” of dwarfs two inches under the soil; stake the standards, and if the dwarfs are strong cut off half of the coarse growths, then mulch over the bed six inches thick with half rotten stable manure, and leave it so until the month of March. In case of Dwarf Teas it is best to earth them as one would potatoes, covering the lower six inches of the growth with earth, and laying on some mulching afterwards. If standard Teas are planted, protect the heads by tying in some Bracken or Spruce Fir boughs. If the planter has attended to these particulars he can rest till the middle of March, when weather permitting, and all fear of severe frosts being over, the standard and dwarf H.P.’s can be pruned; the Teas being left till the first week in April; and at that time the earth can be removed from the dwarfs and the cover from the standards. In pruning, for a general rule, cut hard back to an eye pointing outwards all the kinds that grow strongly, and do not cut the weaker growers quite so hard. If roses are only wanted for decoration, the wood can be left a little longer. New growths which will interfere with the admission of light and air in the centre, can be removed to encourage the promising shoots (say end of May). After pruning is done the winter mulch may be lightly dug in and the beds raked down for the summer. In Climbing Roses the long summer shoots should be tied in, and at pruning time tip them back say two feet, and then cut away as much of the old and weakly wood as can be spared, as it is from the vigorous young shoots the best flowers are taken. With Roses on walls it is best to take them down, then prune and regulate the growths, and replace them. Treat Pillar Roses in the same way ; Banksian Roses are best pruned back after they flower. The Mosses, Provence and Summer Roses only require superfluous old shoots removed in summer (after blooming) and then tip the shoots slightly back in March. The Austrian and Penzance Briars require the same treatment, long shoots being left almost entire, till their glorious flower is over. China Roses are best cut hard back, leaving all young wood. WATERING. If the beds have been thoroughly made they need not be watered until May, and only then in very dry weather, but growers for exhibition should prepare some liquid manure and nse once a fortnight, with pure water between times, but only when the soil is dry. Syringing in the evenings of warm days is beneficial. Summer CULTuRE. As soon as the flowers fade pick them off, and after July the strong shoots may be shortened a little when a second growth will give flowers in Autumn; some judgment is required in this matter, as many of the stronger growers will not stand this treatment, but such free kinds as La France and Marie Baumann benefit by it. In Villa Gardens it is a necessity to have other flowers in the Rose beds, and if the borders are freely manured in November and well and deeply dug, they give fair results. Where planted on grass some manure should be dug in in November, and a top dressing of Clay’s or other fertilizer scratched in and well watered will serve to feed the plants in Summer. Time For PLANTING. Where it can be done the end of November is the best season, or at any time in the winter when the ground is in good condition. "When Roses cannot be planted till March they should be watered in and the roots ‘‘slubbed,”’ that is, some clay or soil made into a thick soup should be applied by dipping the roots into it; this prevents droughts affecting them; late planted Roses should not be pruned back till « month after planting, when the roots will be taking’to the new soil. Insxcts. Caterpillars and Maggots must be destroyed by hand picking; Green fly is easily got rid of by syringing with the following mixture, Quassia 4 ozs. boiled in 4 quarts of water, adding 2 ozs. soft soap, and then mix well with 2 or 3 gallons clear warm water. Do not syringe when the sun is shining on the Roses, it is well to apply the dressing in the evening and syringe with clear water early the next morning, to remove the dead Aphides and wash off any soapy appearance. Red Rust is not readily cured, but as it comes after flowering time and is not a permanent injury, it need not cause anxiety. ; Tus Best Boox on Roses.—Without doubt, the most practical and copious work yet published, is that by the Rev.

Some succeed as Standards, but all prefer the protection of a wall or fence: when planted in the open ground the beds should be raised, and the surface of the soil should be covered with some light material to protect their roots in winter. A sure and safe plan of wintering Teas is to earth up the plants (like celery) to nine inches high, removing the soil in April, and pruning well back; while Standards may have their heads protected with Fern or Spruce Fir boughs tied in them. As Pot Plants under glass and for forcing Tea Roses are unsurpassed. Established Plants, for this purpose, 18/0 to 30/0 per dozen ; Specimen Plants, 5/0 to 10/6. CLASS F.—Primrose.
