MONG the old-fashioned flowers, which are now becoming somewhat more appreciated than they have been of late years, the Columbine of Aquilegia glandulosa and other foreign mem- bers of the genus; and Aquilegia vulgaris is a lovely plant, none the less so for having been relegated for a long time to cottage gardens, or poked away out of sight in out-of- the-way and neglected corners. Like many other old-fashioned things besides plants, these favourite flowers of old days only need to be kn i presen cate the claims of the Columbine to be again received as a popular favourite.

Nor is this the only plant which has scarely improved by cultivation. A yet more striking instance of this may be found in the Jacob’s Ladder (Polemonium cceruleum), which abounds on the limestone about Buxton. The wild plant is taller and more robust than the common cultivated form, and. the flowers, meret less numerous, are both larger and brighter. When the Columbine was a more fashionable flower than it has now become, a yet greater D and variation in colour was attained. John Rea, the seventeenth century florist, says that ae ае Columbines “ are not regarded," foliis ra p pipiti bri qr nitide bus penales vel sese" and even the self-coloured te € ones “are not valued:” “those that n f well a colour, Columbin offer condita. ey.

THE new POTATO DISEASE, to which Mr. BERKELEY called attention at the last meetin of the Royal Horticultural Society, will pro- bably excite some alarm ; but the facts, so far as they are at present known to us, hardly vq justify—if anything does so—panic. At Chis- wick it is some of the American varieties, and not all, that are affected. Again, while the disease is very serious, it does whole rows at a time, At Chiswick may be seen halfa-dozen plants killed, and then a dozen perfectly healthy plants, then a few more diseased ones, and so on. ome of the plants are throwing out new roots, and i i In m г wa the formation of tubers is arrested, but, in other cases, the tu е formed, ап we ave before affected, the cellular cortical portions being the first to show signs of decay ; if severely so, then, of course, no tubers are formed, but if partially so, then tubers may be formed.

THE d SPORES oF THE 0 DISEASE, oe Potato disease d in this country is rarely seen before the month of July, but this year I received some infected leaves for exa- mination from the Editors of the Journal of Кошу: at the beginning of June, and my reply to the correspondent was printed on june ro. eaves were badly diseased, and I detected the Peronospora in very small quan- tities here and there, emerging from the breath- ing pores. This was a week or ten days before Mr. Berkeley brought the matter before the Scientific Committee of the Royal Horticultural pes aen dust) I immediately accused myself of great carelessness in possibly overlooking it ; but I was equally certain of the presence of the pe R in the specimens I examin receiving authentic specimens of diseased м» from Mr. Barron of Chiswick, the brown spots on the Potato leaves at once reminded me of the figures of some species of Protomyces, and the dimensions agreed tolerably well with some described plants of that genus, but the sparingly mixed with other bodies much smaller in diameter, and with a greater external resem- blance to true fungus spores. These latter spore-like bodies were of two sizes—one trans- parent and of exactly the same size as the cells of the leaf (and therefore very easily overlooked), and the other dark, reticulated, and much smaller. A few mycelial threads might be seen winding amongst the cellular tissue, and these e to the conclusion that the other leaves are thickened, blistered, and dis- colored by the spawn of the Ascomyces, as illus- trated at tHe last meeting of the Society. pinion, tege was soon formed that the “new” Potato disease (as it has been called) was no =з than the old enemy in er r words, that it was the old the = of this ere forward and out of season was probable; but the idea that the pest would not at length attack all and every sort of Potato was to me most unreasonable, though the more tender sorts might be the first to suffer. Suspecting the two-sized small bodies EA mentioned to be of the nature of spores, a remembering my experiments during . autumn wide ketchup, in which I observed a the spores of the common Mushroom might be boiled several times, and for lengthened periods, without their collapsing or bursting, I thought set free the presumed spores of ыз spores fro: not treat the apo with bing vat a ater, ^ use 1 wished to keep the threads and spores alive. From day to day I kept the diseased ма and stems and tubers wet between pieces of very wet calico, in plates under glass, and I immediately noticed that the continued moisture greatly excited the growth of the mycelial threads ; this to me was quite unexpected, as I had: у wished to set the spore-like bodies free. pid was now the growth of this cdm that after a pak had elapsed some decayed parts of the lamina of the leaf were сей in every direction by pr aas Thinking the close observation of t li produced a tolerably abundant crop, especially in the abortive tubers of the two-sized bodies I had previously seen, and measured in th The is, I imagine, because they require a different set of conditions for their normal growth, and these Missa are found in abundant and continued moistu The larger of mnt bodies, the measurements of which I shall give, with a woodcut illus tion, in an early number of this journal, I am disposed to consider the “oospore” of the Potato fungus, and the smaller bodies I look upon as the *antheridia " of the same fungus, which are often terminal in position. The filaments of umbelliferum, and this is another reason (be- yond my seeing undoubted infestans on Potato leaves at the beginning of June) why I am disposed to look upon these bodies as the oospore and antheridium of the Potato fungus. The larger bodies are at first transparent, thin, pale brown, furnished with a thick dark outer wall, and filled with granules ; at length a number (usually three) of TEC or m appear. The smaller bodies ker colour, and the external coat is es vitia a (described as belonging to the antheridium of other species of Peronospora), but I have. Sead the two bodies in contact in several in- stances, After fertilisation has taken place, the- outer coat of the oospore enlarges, and appears ` to be cast off. Both antheridium and resting spore are so slightly articulated to the threads on which they are borne that they are detached by the slightest touch, but with a little care it is not really difficult to see both bodies 27 siu; and my observations lead me to think that con- jugation frequently takes place after both organs he antheridia me oospores decomposed portions of the tissue of em decom- posing tuber, but they occur also in both the stem and leaf.

It would now seem to be somewhat the same with the Potato when diseased, in the fact that when submerged a second form of fruit is produc Between the two moulds, Botrytis and Peronospora there is little or no difference ; the characters of Corda, founded upon the con- tinuous or articulate filaments, cannot be relied Cannot be denied, as the instances above cited clearly show ; and I am therefore disposed to think the fungus which ees uk m Potato disease is aquatic in one stage of existence, and in that stage the б ааыа z are Reference should here be made to the bodies found germinating in the intercellular passages of spent Potatos M Dr. Montagne (Artotrogus), referred eley to the Sepedoniei. 5 ^ Ever since Mr. Berkeley first saw these he has had an unswerving faith in the proba- = bility of their being the secondary form of fruit na: eronospora infestans, but unfortunately, as faras I know, no one has ever found a speci- men of Artotrogus since Montagne.

ENGLISH WOUND-HERBS. i; the works of the old herbalists, besides the pseudo- scientific or systematic classifi- e similar in their-effects were usually A oll in the popular mind. Shakespeare oe. an example, which shows - this asso- ciation was in his time, when in Alls p» that Ends Well Lafeu i “ They are not salad-herbs, they are nose-herbs," z.é., esteemed for their smell ; and wound-herbs was a term applied in like manner to such plants as deemed “soverain” for their healing properties. A glance at the list of * vertues" assigned by the herbal writers to every plant, will show that among them the EN of wounds holds a very prominent place. It-is not our intention at р blished as to demand more general recognition, or at any rate further investigation. These are the Comfrey (Symphytum officinale), the Clown's Woundwort (Stachys palustris), and the Valerian (Valeriana officinalis)—the last-named being the only one the merits of which are usually recognised in medical works, and that not as regarding any healing properties pos- sessed by the plant. Taking these plants in the order in which we have placedt very well authenticated accounts of the bene- ficial employment of the Comfrey. Mr. Rootsey, in the Zransactions of the Medico-Botanical Society of London for 1832 and 1833, speaks of a workman of his acquaintance who, having broken his leg, was confined to his room for four years, and his case was at length despaired of. He was at last recommended to apply Comfrey externally as a poultice ; splinters of bone were brought away, and in a few weeks he was able to walk. He subsequently employed the plant in four other serious cases, aud with success in each. The old names of the plant—such as Consolida, Consound, Knitback, Backwort, and Bruisewort—sufficiently indicate the esteem in which it was held. Gerarde speaks of its *clammie and gluing moisture," which chiefly resides in the roots; these, he says, * bruised and laid to in the manner of a plaister, heale all fresh and greene woundes, and are so glutenative that [they] wil sodder or glew . Cockayne, in the interesting preface to his Saxon Leechdoms gives another instance of the beneficial employment of Comfrey. He says times quite wrong in himself. One day he saw r. —— go by, and told him; he said, see there that Comfrey—take a piece of the - of it, and сеа it, and put it to your finger, and wrap it up. The man did so, and in four days his finger was well This story struck me the more since i Comfrey is the confirma of the middle ages and the ep$vrov of the Greeks, em above, we shall find several | both which names seem to attribute to the h forms an сони bandage for fractures of all kinds. Our second wound-herb, Stachys sylvatica, i is largely employed in rustic practice in some parts of South Buckinghamshire, where it is known by the singular and inexplicable name of Cow's Weather-wind, the “i” being long, as in wine. An old woman was in the habit of making an ointment in which this plant was the principal ingredient, which had the reputation of healing wounds and cuts, whether slight or serious, and this reputation was certainly not undeserved. Gerarde gives us afquaint account of the employment of our other British species, S eing in Kent about a pacient,” he says, “it chanced . that a very poor man, in mowing of Peason, did cut his leg with the sieth, wherin he made a wound to the bones, and withal very large and wide, and also with great effusion of blood, The poor man crept unto this herbe, which he bruised in his hands, and tied a great quantitie of it unto the' wound with a peece of his shirt, out resting one day untill he was perfectly hole, which was accomplished in a fewe daies by this herbe stamped with a little hog's greace, and so laid upon in maner of a pultis, which did, as it were, glewe or soder thelips of the wounde togither, and heaWe it according to the first in- tention (as we tearme it), that is, without draw- ing or bringing the wounde to suppuration or matter, which was fully performed in seaven daies, that would have required fortie daies with balsam it himselfe; a clownish answer, I confesse, with- out thanks for my goode will, whereupon I have named it Clowne's Woundwort.” Gerarde goes on to narrate various cures which he himself afterwards worked with t if we deduct a certain p remains a considerable amount of testimony 9 the usefulness of the plant in such cases cannot be set aside, and should induce : a fair trial of bu merits. 77 rape udo “уе of the Valerian are well-known and thoroughly recognised in our Pharma- сеіаѕ ; but its healing properties, with which only we are now concerned, are not so generally understood. And yet they were fully appreciated by our ancestors. Gerarde says that in his time the poor people in the North of England thought it almost a necessary se in og er to * broths, pottage, or physicall meats ;" and Parkinson tells us that “ it is generally called in the countries of this land the Poore Man’s MET to take the decoction of this root and e it, when by taking cold after sweating, or pesto das their bodies, they be troubled © any or splinter a Gerarde, indeed, gives us a rhyme mede by * some woman poet or other "— “ They that would have their heale Must pat Setewall in their keale"— Setwall being an old name for the V. alerian.

It was so obvious to most people that things were getting from bad to worse, and that the policy of the four gentlemen who have uite with good intentions, and we should be among the first to regret an Манаа оѓ expression, even within the liberty accorded by the customs of debate. At the same time we can but point out that the neces- sity for the requisition which led to the fulfil- four gentlemen alluded to, was amply demonstrated by their own utterances, and by the denials and recrimi- nations that took place publicly in the sight of the Fellows between the four members and their i ncil. Differences of opinion in a Council there must always be, but the usual rule is that the minority bow to the deci- urse is to retire. for dowsing arraigning certain members of the Council of the Society were required, it might be found in the speech of Mr. HARRY VEITCH, who in good taste and excellent temper set forth the com- plaints of the horticulturists in such a way as to command, first the entire attention, and next the all but unanimous assent of an unusually һийшеш, meeting. Practical union among the members of the vin, Һал now, it is to be hoped, been ed, we may forward y to brighter times. The Council before all , ought be horticultural; but local i need not on that account be ignored. Still less likely is it that a horticultural Council would endeavour to stamp out and over-ride South Kensington interests, as ee culture was lately over-ridden those who or apprtdeRt of hich the Soci own were independent alike of South Kensington and of the Commissioners, but that is not practicable. The next best thing is to make the best of S.

Veitch & Sons’ prizes will be made in a smaller one, All that at present seems wanting to ensure financial success is fine weather and a good attendance, Thanks are also due to those country Fellows who, at great inconvenience to themselves, have lent their aid to right the ship. One of the d. first things to do is to conciliate and bring the long-estranged country Fellows, and сае their numbers, fand make the Society truly national, Lastly, we may take itas a good omen that while all this disturbance, now happily ended, was going on, a member the iid cu nen ommit ody oved by party Hr quer brought forward a discovery of such im — e that not only will his own reputation беса but the Zzeszzge of the old Society will be materially restored. This Oi min: to which we have already alluded, will, w suffice to т-рам оп не pre neil the iter of fostering and encoura: s the m need for this, for while practical horticultge can very welltake care of itself, scientific and experimental horticulture require the support of a learned society. Individuals and com men can only ЕТ expend theirsubstance in pursuits that are not directly remunerative, but it is one of кез special functions of a so ociety like the Royal Horticultural Society to promote and encourage — nts and observations which are likely t to the advantage of scientific and, ultimately, of practical horticul- ше.

HERE is probably no race of ornamental lants more extensively cultivated in this country than the genus Pelargonium—a genus, it must be remembered, which includes the so- called * Geraniums " of our flower-beds, as well as the greenhouse plants to which the name is often restricted in popular parlance. When we consider the number of specimens used annually in our public gardens alone, and ad a greater or less n arid garden, large or small, to say nothing the indoor-grown examples which brighten many a cottage window, we may form some idea of the aggregate number of * Geraniums " which are in cultivation each year. To this should be added a calculation—if such calcula- tion were possible—as to how дору die at the end of each season, and how many * cuttings " are taken for the next year; and it is probable that the very magnitude of the result of such calculation would prevent us from in any way realising its extent. strikes us at the outset, wonderful dee sar displayed in the form and colour of the flowers and leaves of these “ bed- ding Geraniums,” for we are not at present con- cerned with the greenhouse species. is, indeed, difficult to believe that all these varieties have originated from two species, and it seems yet more strange that these have been known in England for less than 200 years, the Horseshoe Geranium (Pelargonium zonale) having been introduced in 1710, and the “scarlet” (P. inquinans) in 1714. Such, however, is the case, w that we have among us a Pelargonium Society which has been established with the praiseworthy object of promoting the improve- ment of the various sections of the Pelargonium, of facilitating the introduction of new species and varieties, and of giving system and method generally to the practice of hybridisation, a few notes upon the history of cultivated Geraniums may be of some interest. The genus Pelargonium, to which, as we have already stated, all our garden Geraniums really belong, was established by L'Héritier in 1787,and differs technically from the Geranium in eain irregular flowers, and the calyx prolonged in a tube at the base. It is usually spoken of as a Cape genus, nor is this unnatural, as about 170 of the species are confined to the South Aírican region, Oneor two, however, are found in St. Helena ; five (one of which is identical with a Cape species) occur in tropical Africa ; three are native North Africa and the Levant region ; sid: A are Australian, one of these nt also in New Zealand and at the C e of these, erens are in d vation, aitik perhaps in c Garden being devoid of any diss кадагы interest. Pelargonium zonale—the Horse-shoe Gera- nium, ге жш Pelargonium” of more modern inquinans, claims peces of its earlier introduc cultivated in 1710 by the Duchess of вшм in whose collections (which form part of the Sloanean herbarium), now in the British Museum, there is a specimen of the plant, on c “ horse- of which the umbels are adroitly composed, may be those of P, peltatum, which was in cultivation at ап earlier date in the Duchess’ collections. Philip Miller, in the Gardeners’ Dictionary (1752), describes both P. zonale and P. i the name of African Tree Crane's-bill. e is a specimen from that island in the British Museum herie- rium, collected by Sir Joseph Banks in 1771 but it is not included in Roxburgh's list of lasts published in Beatson's Tracts Relating to St. describes it as forming in the wild state at the Cape a large shrub, with juicy green stems and thick leaves, which are usually, though not in- variably, marked with the dark semicircle to which the plant owes its specific as well as its nglish name. By this mark, as well as by the narrower petals, it may be distinguished from ^ inquinans, which is a superior plant ; but many of the garden Pon. which are apparently of hybrid origin, cannot t be referred with cer- tainty to either spec The white- E variety of the Zonal m zonale with fine varie- gated leaves, which is preserved in most of the English gardens for the beauty of its leaves." Miller's specimens from the Chelsea garden in um the British Muse herbarium seem to be bordered with yellow rather than white, but this may be the effect of drying. A variety known as “ Miller's Variegated А has been “grown as a rather rare greenhouse plant in this country for many years," according to Mr. P. Grieve. But the white-margined Zonal Pelargonium was known much earlier than this; for, in his Flower Garden Displayed (1732), Sir Thomas Moore mentions a “striped- shrubs among greenhouse plants. brought into England from the Paris and, as it grows very idee by cuttings planted in May or any of the summer months, it has now grown very a in the curious Fade. botanical .Later on, this form was notic works as 8 marginatum of Cavanilles; but it can only be considered as a forerunner of the “sports” of P. zonale, which have since мечі іп such. жем grofus sion. he Г и кд NES | ^ a popularity far greater "than they deserve, although usually classed as‘ both from P.

But I am inclined” to think that it originated long previous to this date, for I have been informed ‘ N.S. Hodson, ., of the Botanic Gardens, Bury St. Edmunds, v vas in possession of a somewhat large and apparently old plant of this variety as early as the year 1822 or 1823. I can myself testify that about the year 1847 or 1848 the late Mr. D. Beaton had commenced to use it with excellent effect as a bedding plant at Shrubland, near Ipswich.” 2. (To be continued. AM.

I will say a few words about each of these groups, illustrating them principally by referring to the flora of our own country. The plants which are specially liable to be destroyed in a tract of country fully occupied by man, are those that grow upon heaths and in woods and swamps.

O. Forestry. Upon many estates it is the forester’s practice to keep fewer workmen during the hay and harvest months than at any other time of the year, it being an understood thing that the men are to have the privi- lege of going to such work, in order to earn higher wages, as a set-off against the comparatively low rate and probably an indirect one to the estate and the public generally. As a consequence, this reduction of the workmen allows the forester an opportunity of attendin ng t d assiduously than Һе could otherwise do, such as marki and timber, valuing, examining, or inspecting the wood! lands under his care, all of which requires to be done leisurely.and with caution and forethought when the mind is comparatively free from other concerns, A arking the trees, I shall endeavour to direct attention to some of the most essential points in the art and practice of thinning. The health of a tree, generally speaking, is very correctly indicated by the state and condition of its foliage, and at no season of the year is this so €! seen as when it is in full leaf, and before its autumnal colour. inspections as to h E forests, plantations, and individual trees should, there- fore, be made at this season of the year in preference and next month I usuall antations sad ornamental trees under cu and spring, While I — this as the best time for kennt and judging of and J— forest камсык the worst time of the fe down, unless for the express oe he е @ ч br Р 6 purpose о ting crop or the first thinning, when rd is paid to the trees cut down beyo n ting them to decay and disappear as soon and fast as possible, which they екта a do if laid flat down мебрад, гина, so that the grass and other h e Барра. the thinnings are of some money'value, and are " for stack Lego props for coal mines, fencing done, mo the forester’s own men and disposed of privately, When marking for sale s d-axe, with initial letters o [JULY 24, 1875, + h x or estate upon the head of it, “with which each tree jg — ach facilitates the work of adding, a by relieving the mind and breaking the In ma i 14 feet long, a marking axe with initial letters, a paint brush and red paint, a foot rule slide, and a seasoned gig rein reduced to ł of an inch broad, and m arked like a tape line on the on Í d on the other, out the aid he the de. aud си o: a METTUS AUT ч еле: А a à en 7, TM pain td ‘rah are for numbering the trees, | is done riod ears if put Poss edd easily obliterated or was ather, C.

Whether in the future such groups, if invited, would be best limited as to number or space, is a question requiring con- sideration ; but that they should be invited we element in all the leading classes of plants, for this competition forms the lever by which horti- cultural shows tell most strongly on the eleva- tion and advancement of horticultural skill and science ; but the miscellaneous groups might well be substituted oe some of the less im- portant classes, which are apt to find their way into a lengthened prize schedule. One of the noteworthy features of this grand show is that it was entirely gratuitous on the part of the nurserymen exhibitors, while in the case of amateurs it was understood that an award equivalent to their expenses would be made. We were glad to welcome din ne the Orchids from Lord LONDESBOROUGH'S garden which have been greatly missed of. late, as well as Mr. PEACOCE'S succulents, which are always telling. These and other gentlemen, and the nur- serymen who thus freely exhibited, deserve the hearty thanks of every well-wisher to the Society. We should have been gratified to have been able to add here the name of Mr. WIL e removed, but his fine plants were not forth- coming. The Pelargonium Society's prizes were fairly contested, and the exhibits formed a con- spicuous (еке of the show. Mr. CATLIN had one or two plants as near to perfection of growth as seems practicable, and we trust that the growers did not fail to notice them, as there has been a falling off in the quality of the specimens of these showy summer plants during the last year or two. The display of Fruit brought together by Messrs. VEITCH & SONS’ prizes formed the best fruit show of the season up to this date. The quality was even and good, the quantity satis- MAN was the champion, but he was run hard by Mr. MILES in the contest for the chief prize. The object for which this show was got up was, as we have previously announced, courage the Council, now that they have freed themselves from the non-horticultural element, in the difficult task they have before t right. ing the Royal Horticultural Society with the horticulturists of the United Kingdom, with the Royal Cony and wi th the Shows show the other pos that Косай ны аге а in th ys to be pooh-poohed and disre- garded in more that relate to the manage- ment of their representative Society.

Fully half of the 5 t we have had pointed in country, as affected with the “ new ” disease, were really the subjects ' of some disease ог morbid condition quite dif- ferent in outward aspect to that which we first England, and within the last few days in the south-west of Scotland. For our own parts we must still doubt the identity of the so-called new disease with “curl,” as the appearances | presented do not tally with the printed descrip- _ tions of that malady ; while, as we have stated, - the oral statements of those who were personally _ Бани ar with it are very conflicting. If these - of American extraction be really affected wk Fe n, ” then more interest, as it shows that it must have been in the country in the old “curl” days, long before the murrain was heard of. Meantime, ^ as some of our correspondents to whom scien- — tific terms are not familiar, and who are not - accustomed to the study of microscopic fungi, — are doubtful as to what Mr. SMITH really has done, we will endeavour to put the matter into - plainer language, though at the risk of sacri- — of the Potato fungus p and leaf іп the form of extremely fine whitish - threads.

These zoospores cease their vagrant habits in a little while, and they .too, grow. So far then we have the Potato fungus propagated by two sorts of buds, W become detached, and reproduce the fungus just as the bulbils of the Tiger Lily grow into à new plant.

Ifthe variety observable in the former species was remarkable, what shall we say of the range in colour and form which is displayed in the blossoms of these most beauti- ful plants? It would be impossible to believe that such results could be produced by culti- vation if the plants themselves were not a „©; evidence of the fact; and the wonder is i creased by the recollection a "ibis ri ot Pelargoniums is of much recent intro- pon to our collections iin: din zonal” and “starlet” It would be impossible to ascertain Е zr degree of certainty the parentage of any given г.

Dr. Harvey considers that many of the garden hybrids are derived from this species, which is very common about Cape Town, boh it is often used as an orna- mental hedge plan In Andrews’ СОРУР there are several Pelargoniums which have a very strong resem- blance to certain of the varieties now in cultiva- petals of which are striped with dark red ; this * was raised by M r. Perry, nurseryman, at Ban- bury, in Оон, in 1809, and was there d a guinea each plant, being then a Geraniums are now. so comm cheaper." We may note ez passant that, although the above passage must have been written in 1816, if the date of the raising of the plant be correctly given, the two volumes of Geraniums bear the date 1805 on эса title-pages. nium pubescens is si to anotb greenhouse TERM which is characterised by its leaves, stems, and calyces being covered with a soft, more or less viscid, pubescence; the flowers are of a pinkish lilac throughout, the two upper petals being pear and copiously veined with blackish red,. with a spot of the same colour in the centre. This, Andrews says, “appears to be the coinpound production of р several different тб His Geranium spe- ciosum is a familiar white-flowered form, the upper petals of which are veined, but not blotched, with red-purple; and his variety of G. formosum is a similar plant, but the upper petals are both blotched and veined with by Dr. Harvey, who does not attempt to identify the Pelargoniums named by Sweet and Andrews. The monograph of the genus in De Candolle's Prodromus does indeed take up these names and figures, but it is of little practical use. At he figures “a flower *are all varieties of our G. must be with this species, if the limits of our plate would have admitted them." He also figures a range of varieties of P. grandiflorum. n the five volumes of Sweets Geraniacee, which followed Andrews! book, and were lished in 1820-30, very many of the Pelargo- niums now in cultivation are beautifully figured, their origin being in many cases stated ; and seve- ral species and varieties not now grown are also illustrated. Too much praise cannot be bestowed n the care manifested in the plates of this work, which throws much light upon the history of *fancy Geraniums," but which space will not allow us to do more than refer to ex passant, The Ivy-leaved Geranium (P. emm * Geranium Ivy," or * Flowering Ivy" as it i often called by cottagers, with whom it is a d climber, was e 1701 from seeds brought from the Cape. It spread very rapidly in English gardens. Petiver, in the Philosophical Transactions for 1713, flowers are large, of a blush colour ; all of the same size, and the two upperinost streak'd with red. It flourishes most part of the year at Chelsey, Fulham, Enfield, &c, It grows wild in the districts of Haycoon at the Cape of Good Hope.” А copy of this descrip- tion accompanies a specimen from Petiver in the Sloane herbarium. Several forms of this species are in cultivation, notably a variegated one, and one with a dark zone in the centre of the leaf; the former variety is figured Andrews. The hybrids lately produced between this species and P. zonale Have deservedly attracted much attention. * sweet-scented Geraniums" next come under notice.

The scent, which Dr. Harvey characterises as heavy and bal- samic, is, according to Mr. Lowe, *strong, but to tomen plant with soft, velvety lobed leaves and ve small white flowers, is another species which has been in cultivation on account of its scent, which somewhat resembles that of Peppermint : it was introduced in P. capita atum—sometimes called the “ Rose Geranium "—is another scented species which is of some economic importance. We ar indebted for it, as also for P. cucullatum, to the Earl of Portland, by whom it was introduced i in 1690. It has lobed cordate long-stalked leaves, and densely crowded heads of numerous deep rose-coloured flowers ; the whole plant is soft, with long white hairs.

С. 8 THE RESTING SPORES OF THE = POTATO DISEASE, (Concluded from p. тот.) As I have now had the fungus which causes the Potato disease under close observation for the past seven weeks, I send you some of the most noteworthy facts which have more recently attracted my attention. I. The plants sent to the Royal Horticultural Society by Mr. Dean on July 21 were covered with the Peronospora far beyond anything I had ever seen before. The haulm, the leaves (on both sides alike), and the berries, were covered. Some of these plants, after being placed on a garden bed, and covered with leaves (to keep them moist), were the next day one white mass with the Peronospora. 2. The Potato fungus (as commonly seen) bears a far larger number of simple spores than inflated vesicles containing the zoospores or swarm-spores, = in Mr, Dean’s plants the fungus produced zoospor almost exclusively, and in the greatest abundance. za the zoospore is a higher development of the plant than the simple-spore, this latter observation points to the unusually robust health of the fi this season, 3. On suspending the infected leaves over a glass of water for from twelve to seventy-two hours, the swarm- spores fell in abundance (either free or in the vesicle) on to the water, and there germinated. Nosingle drop of the water could be taken up for examination without meeting with the мең spores, the threads radia’ iating : over the water in every direction, evidently It brought the follow- ing fact to light, which i is of imp the this cord, when it had proceeded tance over the water, there had its contents differen- tiated in a necklace-like manner, and Ee birth to the zoospores far removed from the original vesicles. The mim thread also produced two true oogonia on the wa 4. cs your last report of the re. ofthe Scientific Committee (p. 113, middle column), under Sapro- ia, you say Mr. Renny showed a species of Sapro- legnia which might be mistaken for the spores (mean- ing oogonia) of Peronospora.

Certain restricted areas are remarkable for the mildness of their climate, and it is not d easy t ine eal ca cause In A Oesterreichisches Landwirthchapliches Wochenblatt for July то, Dr. Н. HOFFM has an interesting article on the “ fence ot Inland Water on the Vegetation of the Shore Lands.” It is well known, he says, that not only lakes of some extent, but also many rivers, exhibit an exceptional climate, inasmuch as at certain spots on their banks the vegetation is of a more southern character, and tenderer plants flourish than are found in the surrounding country. This is notably the case on the Rhine, in those districts de its course is from east wines ar observed at Wurzburg on the Maine, at Dresden e Elbe, and at Grein and Krems on the Danube; da a has visited F rankfort une op ee a orth bank of the Main Mes учо, Dr. HOFFMANN cicer in his description of localities, we may mention dat the Rhine district, from EUER to Niederwold, as far as this river flows from to west, is one of the most striking К In this as in other districts, it is the north bank that offers the more favourable climatal con- ditions to the cultivator. Here the mountain chain to the north rises to a height of upwards of 1700 feet, affording an important shelter from northerly winds, and the easy slopes are fully exposed to the rays of the sun ; but this does not explain Sorting, i zs it is the low land forming the actual ban the river that pos- sesses the greatest aded асет Dr. ‘seeks to in a o show that these ction of li; unanimously oppose a project of the Prussian dde the channel of the Government for тавче river in the interests of navigation, alleging that the superior quality of the Grapes is essentially due to the reflected light and increased warmth of the broad surface of the river. And again, this otherwise favourable, rainless, and sunny region to bring the berries to perfecti ion, Un- more equable temperature, It must happen, too, that the river in this region is warm enough to give off a considerable quantity of water in the form of vapour, and the temperature of the air having been greatly reduced during the night by ever. it is incapable of absorb- ing it; hence it is in condensed and pre- cipitated as a heavy des w. On an average there are 102 days with fog at Coblenz, 52 at Giessen, and 33 at Daun in the Eifel. Thus far we can agree with Dr. HOFFMAN respecting the beneficial influence of the river, But he says that t ction against thelate frosts in May hei is 13 int lligible. True, the veil of vapour ow-lying country tos ould impede radia- ably the river would communicate xpe experience is Mew structive in warm, humid valleys than o elevated tablelands and hill-sides. dy of water and other afford the o claimed for the fogs in the immediate vicinity of the river.

Money, the most HER on pressing necessity of the moment, has bee en forthcoming, and that, too, be it o Served, through the good offices of certain residents in South Kensington. So far so good. .general feeling is, that a Society which owes so much to the "Prince CONSORT, and whic ch, ha he been spared to us, would, in all probability, never have fallen into its present low sta ate, should be presided over by his nearest descend. ant. It is, perhaps, premature to expect H.R.H. the Prince o ES to preside over a Society till of the Prince to preside over a Society expressly founded to carry out those researches in science and art which the Prince CONSORT did so much to promote. Moreover, the Prince's populari is so great that his sanction could hardly fail to reinstate the Society in public favour, while hi exalted rank would prevent all appearance of party strife and sectarian dispute. In the mean- time it is believed to be the Prince’s wish that the services of an able and influential nobleman should be secured, and such an one has, we believe, in response to the Prince's wish, ex- to do members with very varied interests, the majority perhaps caring little for horticulture Zer se, still less for horticultural science, the appointment ofa President of exalted rankandgreat influence, but not ee either with any section of the e Commissioners, is perhaps by other considerations—we should have pre- ferred the nomination of some gentleman or nobleman of special attainments able to ap- preciate from personal familiarity me labours of the Society for the bene ctical and scientific horticulture, and if сэт ап опе ре forthcoming we need hardly say how welcome his presence would be among us. An impression has not unnaturally got abroad = the Royal Horticultural Society has “proved a failure” from the point of view x. science. Such is the statement made in a letter to the Zzmes of the 28th inst., and itis one shared by many persons. Now we do not hesitate to say that, if all things be con- sidered, and especially the deficiency of funds, this statement is at most only partially true. The Chiswick garden has done, and is doing in a pend way, excellent service in the way f mmittees, too, are ditis good work, and they should make it constantly a point of honour to maintain the credit of the Society rather than ae interests of the mercantile community. * Fiat Justitia” penned his letter to the 77 ines he had probably not read the important tone of “ Fiat Justitia’s” letter, that he is Spy tte unaware of what has been done Society, even of late years.

FULL MARKET REPORTS, both Metropolitan and Provincial, accurate Accounts of Prices, Sales, and Business Transactions of all kinds, are published every week. INTELLIGENCE in any way affecting Agriculturists, or interesting to them, is carefully collected and made known. Correspondents have been secured in every county. Separate editorial departments have been established for Scotland and Ireland. Reports are periodically received from Canada, Australia, India, France, Germany, and Hungary, and from the United States ot America. The PROCEEDINGS of AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES, Farmers’ Clubs, and Chambers of Agriculture —their Meetings, Exhibitions, and Discussions—are reported fully and with promptitude. EVERY DEPARTMENT OF THE ESTATE OR FARM receives attention—Land А; gency, Estate Equipment, Forestry, Farm Buildings, Roads, Fences, Cottages—Live Stock, Plants, and Implements of the Farm—Drainage, Tillage, and Manuring of the Soil. A VETERINARY EDITOR has been secured. Departments relating to the POULTRY YARD, the APIARY, and the GARDEN of the Farm are under separate professional direction. REVIEWS are published of all Books claiming a place in the library of the Farmer. REPORTS of noteworthy Estates, Farms, Herds, Flocks, and Factories are given from week to week. Teachers and students of the several sciences in which the Agriculturist is interested — BOTANY, CHEMISTRY, PHYSIOLOGY, ENTOMOLOGY, NATURAL HISTORY--are constant contributors. Especial attention is given to AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT manufacture. Improvements in Machines are reported —New Inventions made known—Patents discussed—and the Implement Factories of the country described—Engravings, always necessary in such cases for intelligible description, being given without stint. NO EXPENSE IS SPARED IN ILLUSTRATIONS wherever they can be of use. Not only Implements, but Plants, Weeds, varieties of Cultivated Crops, &c. ; and animals—breeds of Horses, Cattle, Sheep, and Pigs; also Poultry, Insects, General Natural History ; and Buildings—Farmhouses, Homesteads, Cottages; Photographs Illustrative of Country Life and Occupations, whether at home or abroad :—all these provide амы for the Engraver. Portraits and Memoirs of Noteworthy Agriculturists are also occasionally given. . THE AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE professes no Party Politics; but it does not hesitate to discuss any subject affecting the Position or Relations of those whose Professional Organ it desires to be. It will be found absolutely Independent, excepting only of such rules as govern honourable men. And nothing that affects the | interests, whether of the Landowner, the Tenant-Farmer, or the Labourer, is excluded from its Columns.

YARROW. T the “ braes” of that name, or “ Yarrow Revisited," although both are suggested by the title, are we about to consider in the present paper, but the common plant, with its corymbs of white flowers and its finely divided leaves, but with plants, as with other;things, “ famili- arity breeds contempt," and so its claims to be regarded as ornamental are disregarded. It is especially to the folk- lore connected with the Yarrow that w irect atten- tion. In spite of man яе the folk-lore of our British plants has yet found no historian, and our notes may serv ais as material for a chapter in the wor upon this fascinating subject which, although as certain to a no less than the antiquarian and the ethno- logist. Beginning with the “ vertues? of Yarrow, we shall find them not only numerous, but of an cient renown. In the Herbarium of Apuleius, printed by M. Cockayne in his Saxon Leech- з, it is said :—“ Of ЭН Wort, Tir: is named Millefolium, and in e Yar- row, it is said that Achilles, n chieftain, found „he with this same Wort healed them en and wounded. Also for that reason, it is named of some men antiquity ; ; and indeed most of the recipes given in the above cited work are for the healing of wounds, although the plant is also prescribed for toothache and other matters. Drayton speaks of it as « 'The Yarrow wherewithal he stops the wound-made gore," and in Scotland it is called “ Stanch-girds,” or Se Hr from this property. Another its old names, Nose-bleed, seems to have arisen from two му) opposed beliefs соп- nected with the plant. Gerarde says, “the leaves being put into the nose do cause it to leed,” upon which Parkinson comments, “ assuredly it will stay the тыы of it" But this name, Nose-bleed, has a very intimate connection with the folk-lore к the plant, as we shall see further on. Other old names of the Yarrow, all referring to its styptic Saas are Bloodwort and Carpenter’ кыз. bot which are given Treveris in 7 Herball. 'The name Yarrow is of beue En uncertain origin. Dr, Prior rm various con jectures regarding it. Surflet, in his Couzrze Farme, says arrow «oth. d mann of fluxes, especially that which cometh of a wound, the leaves [being] dried, made in powder, and pis "ug the iuyce or Satt of So ЫМ to the much-divided leaves of the plant. sometimes called “ Tansy,” because its leaves somewhat resemble those of Tanacetum, and it was considered, m that plant, to ward off fascination: and “the evil eye.” In modern rustic practice, a “tea” made from Yarrow leaves is used in various disorders, ED it would s being ake when n i^ It is plants collected by bargemen on their travels, and sold by them in the towns through which they pass. The chief point of folk-lore regarding the Yarrow is connected with the curious custom o placing a leaf in the nose, with the intention of making it bleed ; from the success or failure of what in different localities. two. x Suffolk the formula is 'arrow, you bears : AN blow, Here are one or If my love don't 1 л If my Jove а iow a me, 'twill bleed every drop." In Devonshire the rhyme has somewhat of a Aetio character—the Yarrow must be plucked f ung man's grave, and placed under the pillow | “‹ Yarrow, sweet Yarrow, the first that I have found, rd [MP h loved sweet Mary, and took her fo So ina "n m this night I hope my true love will id Dublin, on May Day or the preceding night, n place a stocking, filled with Yarrow, ander their pid reciting the follwing lines :— ITOW, rie to thee ; © Good-morro ood Yarr may be ma ‘ried to The colour of his hair, ана the осеб he does wear ; And if he be for me may his face be turned to me, And if he be not, a and surly he he may be, yon his back be tu Mr. Halliwell, in us Popular Rhymes, says :— * An ounce of Yarrow, sewed up in flannel, must be placed under your pillow when you go to bed, and having repeated the following words, the required dream [of a future baad giu be realised :— “Thou pretty herb of Venus’ ei y true name it is Varrow Now who my bosom friend m Pray tell thou me to-morrow.” The gathering of Yarrow with an incantation Ispeth ust be, plant so tempers c to impart the faculty of prediction. There is no doubt that the Yarrow was the plant referred to, as the Melefowr is said to be the herb * quhilk causis the nose bleed." In the time of Elizabeth the Yarrow was gathered with certain incantations before sunrise on Midsummer the Yarrow, and we w incident recorded in Motes and Queries for July, 1872.

In those experiments, the reader may be reminded, the learned botanist of Geneva procured seeds of three common wild plants from M St. the respective species whence the | t шык, жирне, and Palermo асу. i ere sown side by side on the of cc too varied and uncertain to es of ана) inference being drawn from them. rom the researches of QUETELET, and the calculations of the Russian astronomer, CARL LINSTER, it appears that plants as a rule produce leaves, flowers, and ripen seed in the North with a less- degree of heat than is required by the same species in the South for the like purposes. Thus, to take an illustration, the Birch tree expands its leaves at Brussels, on the average, on April r3, at St. Petersburg on May 16. Now the average total amount of heat above freezing point, as measured in degrees Centi- grade, received by the Birch tree at Brussels is 381? while at St. Petersburg the sum of heat CANDOLLE further proceeded to test the matter in another manner, and has communicated the results to the Institute of France, from th Comptes Rendus of which learned body for June 7 of the present year we glean the follow- ing particulars :—M. DE CANDOLLE procured from Montpellier, during the winter, branches of two wild trees, the white о ture, viz, the Tulip tree and the Catalpa. the same time branches of the same trees were taken at Geneva. All these branches those from Montpellier and those from Geneva, were first of all placed for eight days in a room without a fire, the temperature of which was from 7? to 10? Cent. Subsequently, glass bottles half filled with water, and with a layer of sand at the bottom, were Et and the branches were plunged into the sand, a branch of the Montpellier tree being S med in the same glass with the one cut at Geneva The expansion of the leaves on the trees of — were taken er and at Gen respectively, was noted, and with the Ritin results o: Geneva the Tulip tree was thirty days in regards the expansion of its MÀ as Xr with the same process in 8 Montpellier ; the white Poplar was thirty-three | days later at Geneva, the Hornbeam twenty-four | days, and the Catalpa only four or five days | later at Geneva than at Montpellier. To return | to the bottles, each with its pair of cut branches, | 4 the Poplar, the Hornbeam, and | ed in a room A tien | and | uniformly as -— to | the light by occasionally shifting the position | e buds on each shoot were | counted and measured. On the Poplar and | the Hornbeam flower-buds were observed which | were larger on the shoots gathered at Mont: | On Febru the Tulip tree were plac of the bottles. pellier than on those grown at Geneva. The Montpellier buds opened first, having ripened ирде of ihe зарру skies Languedoc in cs it Wal noticed that the Geneva Poplar showed one leaf dive Montpellier had, on April 6, only just commenced to expand. There was thus a difference in the case of the leaf- bud of the Poplar of Pre ati days in favour of the more northern locality. In the case of the eer similar resul were obtained, the buds on the Geneva shoot expanding eighteen en days earlier than those from Montpellier. The results given by the Tulip tree were not satisfactory, for reasons that we need not give in this place, For the sake of comparison, other shoots of the same species from the two localities were on February 5 placed in a dark, unheated es Q 5 ia | Substantially observed in the case of the Popa ana the the | in the as in the case of the shoots exposed | to the - and to a higher temperature. Of | | course, the much buds placed in the cellar were cellar, the temperature of which ranged from 425 C t0 le | the same ШЫ ыыы ч behind those placed under more favourable circumstances, but still the flower-buds of the Poplar and Hornbeam from sp ie opened first, while the leaf-buds of the Gen were, on the contrary, in advance of those of Montpellier. So far, then, it is clear te the shoots from the more northern and cold locality expanded their leaf. buds (but dob their flower-buds) in less time than those which were derived from the south ; in other words, that the same aggregate degree of heat acts much more quickly on the leaf-shoots of the northern than on those of the southern trees of the same species. Thus by direct observation confirmation was obtained of the deductions and inferences made by the cultivation of cereals in Russia before alluded to The explanation ofthe unequal effect of the same degree of temperature, is according to M, DE CANDOLLE, twofold: 1. The buds of a tree are engaged in a perpetual struggle. placed or imperfectly developed buds develope imperfect shoots. The earliest shoots have the adaptation of the tree to the climate are carried on, This is the more probable from the in- dividuality possessed by the buds and of which we avail ourselves in the operation of grafting. Thus, M. DE CANDOLLE cites a case of a Horse Chestnut, near Geneva, which produces year by year, on a certain branch double flowers, From this branch grafts have been taken which have furnished all the double Horse Chestnuts certain branches may also tree, and ese preserve their characteristics when grafted. the North RE is sometimes advantageous, sometimes not so. In the South precocity seems generally хеви and yet it is in the that species require the most heat to denim themselves. The principal cause of the iffer- North and of the ut in the taking place at this time in anticipation of the development of the buds at a subsequent time. North the internal activity of the plant is specially marked. This is one reason why heat acts more rapidly in the N in the South, On the other hand, in southern utilised at the surface, l there is not so much available for the buds in spring. The mecha- nical effects of the same pe of heat should be everywhere the same, but when it is exerted on different material to transport or modify them it is clear that the effect will be different. Such in brief is M. DE CANDOLLE's explana- tion of a phenomenon of which he has, by his desirable to select very early varieties, owing to the great danger of the young growths being injured by spring frosts. mple reports on the condition of the Fauir i which have been ed us by our the various counti in es of Great | secta sean c was аы in general terms, that the app! edd of all descriptions, and says much for the ripening e last au and the relative absence of spring frosts this Of course there has been some drawback, and that peer т ч 8s a a - owing to w. trawberries, Cherries, fruits spoiled in large quantities. orth than - THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE. 205 | AUGUST 14, 1875.] Cartloads of rotting fruit P carried by our windows from the adjacent market, in some cases we heard of the condition of the fruit -— — that it was not deemed worth while to gather nother special b reet m эз {һе dip | жю му, Soc —this t to sanctio the Report, which we priate a Wen d ^ yet completed, The date of our publication forbids | from giving this we ft eed- hey have shown themselves indulgent be geting "and desir- ous, according to their own statement, of h elping the | Society.

PLANCHON has an deem and suggestive paper on the PHYLLOXERA, its origin, diftusion in Europe, means of кесар, or of extenuation, &c. А great deal о M. PLA LANCHON n" to say is, of course, of special in France : x application onl; where the Vine is cultivated on a large scale i in the open air. Still much that he says is appli- cable in this country, and, moreover, it is of the more interest since it is we who have the credit of introducing, the pest to Europe 222 America. Again, some the conclusions at which M. PLANCHON arrives seem to be not quite in ac- cordance with the: facts as observed in this country, and hence some discussion relating to them may be serviceable. As it is unnecessary e. whole of M. PLAN- sions in the first instance, and shall then proceed to make some comments on them I. The Phylloxera is a native of the United States of America. 2. It has been imported inte. :ор‹ DS mirican Vines: to ЕЕ precautions against t the cree in of 5 of the disease, which is possible in vineries under glass is well nigh impossible under er open air cultur Nevertheless, it is a palliative which may rie adopted with due compensation, and, as far as possible, as a matter of reciprocal arrangement between the several growers where the infected places are o irea and far erican or other suspected be allowed to pass ival to the districts, sions. With reference to the introduction of the Phylloxera, he brings forward various facts to show that, so far as France is concerned, the insect was introduced direct from America with American Vines to Bordeaux in 1862. similar mode of origin was traced in various parts of Germany and Portugal In the case of Great Britain, M. PLANCHON recalls the first notice of the insect by Professor WESTWOOD in 1863, and he goes on to state that the presump- tion is that the insects were first observed in w e permitted to express grave doubts. тна а Vines are not grown in this count To the majority of our culti- vators they | are ; absolutely unknown. Of course perhaps in transit to France or other countries. All that we can say is that, after careful inquiries, we have been quite unable to trace any such connection. Whether the insect can be imported with any other plant than the Vine is Eden which M. PLANCHON appears о negative it is difficult to account for i eras ran into England otherwise than on the Vine. Another point of considerable inte- rest is this, that, so far as our experience goes, it is on pot Vines that the pest has been most often observed in this country. In any case perfidious Albion and her vigor- ous offspring across rem Atlantic have the credit of introducing into Srape several of the most disastrous maladies which affect plants. In зак the аби blight was first detected in England, yet it did not appear in LET till between I 7 Another pest, similarly of American origin, is the American Water-weed, Elo odea ——— er known рее оин» p н ве derived. ще with P to the ОСАО of w, the Phylloxera into this country, we have unfor- tunately little or no evidence to offer ; we think, however, upon M. PLANCHON’S own showing, that it may have reached us from France quite as readily, if not more so, than from America. There is no evidence of any direct importation from America to this country. American Vines, as a rule, are not imported here. On the other hand, as M. PLANCHON shows, American Vines imported i into ems were the real sources of infection in the ca France. Now, while | we import few or no E ican Vines into this far as we are justified in drawing an inference pest from Franc or these facts.

THE present Council of the ROYAL Hortt- Commissioners, and it is so very desirable, as things go, that terms should be arrived at, that we can hardly be surprised at the result of the meeting on Friday last. There was, in addition to the document we printed last week, a second agreement, the contents of which were not made public till the time of the meeting, and which con- tains, to our thinking, some most objectionable clauses. The Fellows present, however, seemed to think any agreement better than none, and so they sanctioned agreements, some parts of which put the Society even more than ever at the mercy of the Commissioners, even in the smallest details. to admit that the Commissioners have at present no desire to do other than help the Societ but what of the future?

We are now enabled another column, principal objects exhibited, and may, in this place, lay before our readers some general im- pressions as to this extensive exhibition. The phrase “ second-rate,” which appeared in ich was forwarded to us from Ms зуе back to the preliminary flourishes, and r embering, with gratitude and something Tike. astonishment, the lavish public hospitality, and the exuberant loyalty manifested by the Rhinelanders to their Prince, we can but feel that horticulture 29058. іп another column, the mind, i in ithe attempt to ition, wanders back to the profuse hospitali? offered to the jurors, and pre-eminently to the magnifi- cent reception accorded to the Crown Prince— a reception, the festivities primu ith which the foreigners present a t Cologne were privileged to witness and take part in. Break- fasts, luncheons, dinners, suppers followed one another with perplexing rapidity ; festival can- tatas, fireworks, torch-light processions, “hochs” and “ hurrahs ” were alike innumerable, These d such as these take the first place in the memory of these tfi and horticjitors plays t a шесе part поетот, and, though we are in за а peret urhood well over with enthusiasm the fact that the Prince was the guest of the Flora Society. To realise this state of things let our readers suppose that H.R.H. the Prince of WALES was invited, as he very possibly, and we hope ere long, will be, to open such an exhibition here, would the whole town for three whole days run mad, as it were, with joy and excitement? 'Some will point to the case of Sheffield a week ortwo ago,as an affirmative response to our question, but the case is not parallel. It was not the Sheffield Horticultural Society that invited the Prince, it was the Municipality. At Cologne, on the other hand, it was the local Horticultural Society which invited the Prince, and the Municipality and the inhabitants fol- паар e lead ; and the result was a display o exuberant loyalty, which even in our own favoured land could hardly be excelled. We note this the more as, so far as we have seen, the ordinary journals have scarcely noted the occurrence, and the special correspondents seem to have been at “ Zes eaux,” or, at any rate, were not on duty, else they would scarcely have failed to report the magnificent illumination of the city and of the exquisite cathedral on the night of the 26th ult. —— RE For some 30 or odd miles, from Rolandseck above Bonn to Cologne, on this evening, the Prince's progress down the Rhine was a sort of Carnival de Venise—every little village, every x boat-house was ablaze with light, or rved as a battery for the noisy loyalty of gun- cadem The grandeur of the spectacle culminated at Cologne. It is impossible to convey by words an idea of the splendour of the scene, particu- larly of the Cathedral, illuminated as it was by coloured fires, which give * an appearance as if at a transparent red hea It must not be thought that oe this was official and to order ; y sponta- neous, and, with the е of the SA — ons—which — O were | y work of private individuals, ene о the headquarters ers of Roman Catholicism in Germany anxious to show their loyalty to their Protestant Prince. These are signs of the times which, it appears to us, the politician should not lightly ignore. All this, however, has little to do with horti- for alluding to it. The spontaneous loyalty of the people, however, manifested itse effectively in these pyrotechnic displays than in any floral display such as we have been accus- tomed to in this country of late years, In fact, the art of the floral decorator has apparently not advanced beyond its first infancy in this t of Germany. A few Spruce Fir boughs ak up here arid there, a few huge but tasteless bouquets, an array of miserable pot-plants in the dirtiest of pots, constituted all tha attempted in the way of floral decorations. In this — we apes of late years gone to the opposi and in our wealth and luxury Mann and "daily commit, gross errors in taste in these particulars, sacrificing valuable plants merely because they are valuable, re- gardless of the fact that much cheaper materi MOS № quite or even more effective for the pur je ы Horticultural I ы vu the pre- parations were ewhat a and the arrangements were b no means сше at the appointed time. One feature, however, stands out ami 1 di d confusi 2 — kind—we allude to the catalogue.

A figure of this tree was given in vol. ii. for 1874, p. 521. The best way, perhaps, to realise its enormous propor- tions is to stand close to the bole and look up of A spread of its branches may be obtained when we say that sixteen paces were required to step round the bole at its base ; while at the extremities of its branches as they rest on the ground, or at-a short distance above it, no less than 121 pe of over 3 feet to the pace, were taken On m сезаз terrace in front of the бе —— of Bethichem maritimum mnm rsicum.

The Gladioli have come in well to re- place the Clove and flaked Carnations and edged Picotees tbat have gone out of bloom ; and mingled with them we have the flowers of Anemone japonica and its white variety, alba—two s >e ie — of late-flowering hardy perennial hey now form e background to the dwarfer flowering ptis in Eu and the success of the arrangement is shown in the fact that so many passers- -by stop and admire it, N have said that it is not difficult to grow Gladioli, and that is quite true, Some writers have thrown about it quite a halo of mystery, just as if the process resembled some occult science that only the privileged few were permitted to investigate. We have read instructions so elaborate, and so painfully leas e all ure out of the prospect of growing a few. Some three or four years ago Mr. Kelway, of Newport, kindly sent us some spawn of Gladioli—ze., , the minute bulbs formed round th d the bulb.

THE ROYAL CALEDONIAN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. dors Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society, whose auspices the grand fruit show tds te een this week held in Edinburgh, dates its origin from the year 1809, when a mber of individuals associated themselves e by suggesting subjects for competition among practical gardeners, and distributing rewards for the best specimens of produce exhibited, or the best modes of culture pursued in the various departments of horticul- ture, also in the reading of es ge {зе лик by practical horticulturists on all g ing sub- jects. er meetings, held ponis took place in the deners. The Society pele incorporated under royal charter during the year 1824, when great interest seems to have been taken in its wel- fare. Many new plants, seeds, and grafts were presented to the Society, and as th generally placed in the hands of practical gardeners for cultivation and afterwards to report on them, As such subjects accumulated rapidly it was felt by many of the most active and experienced members that in order to keep pace на the rapid improvements of the science as wellas the practice of horticulture, and to acquire specimens of all the new EE pro- from almost all parts of the жой а , garden was indispensable, and to be under the imme- diate patronage and direction of the Soc not only as a depository for suc seeds, &c., as the сонау might procure, but for rial of new methods in the € and management of those already kno Man members of the Society prier ped зер! twenty guineas each to raise a fund establishment of е i а garden, and іп үр eue ect they were liberally supported by many eurs of horticulture iie over Scotland, In this way, and by vance from the funds of the иса: $ sum amounting to 4000 was soon raised, and piece ad the south side of the Royal Botanic Carter i have pur- exhausted these funds, and therefore application was made to Government to make the purchase and to let the land to the Society at a fixed annual rent. This rent amounted to £140 a year, and left the annual subscription fund free to be applied in enclosing and laying out the ground, raising the necessary buildings, and in stocking the garden. Until the year 1849 the Society went on successfully, b g numerous ho clearing the way, and always keeping outofdebt. During 1854 debtbegan to accumu- late, and notwithstanding that the efforts of the Council were constantly directed to reduce the expenses of management and labour, the funds of the Society gradually became unequal to bear the annual rent in addition to the neces- sary charges of keeping up the garden. Appli- cation for relief was accordingly made to the Lords of the Treasury, an nd it was answered, that although a remission of rent could not be conceded, yet that a grant of £200 per annum, | о be paid out of the money at the disposal ed x *'Trustees for the Manufactures, &c., fo and as a pugil could not be on, a meeting of the existing p members took place, and eted i in offering the grounds up years the garden was in nothing definite having been arrange etri. hesap negotiations were going At last a sum of £2000 was given for the buildings. which enabled the Society to pay up the outstanding rent then due to the Exchequer, while the sale of the pot plants and movables was sufficient to pay the other garden expenses which had been incurred. After the relinquishing of the Society’s lease, the ground, in 1867, by special arrangement, and notwith- ME the extent of ore occupied, it is still me E for the purpose of developing the specimens as they ought to be. The trees were mostly lifted when of ine size, and are all quite capable of being removed again,if donesoon, and if any part of the adjoining unoccupied Jands (of which many acres at present exist) should be added to the garden, land should be leased for building purposes, the arden will sooner or later become deteriorated p" the growtl which the garden is at present famous), and its re poses, the atmosphere of the garde preserved, and it would prove useful for cultural purposes during several hundred years to come. e Edinburgh Horticultural Society was н during the year 1858.

Unfortunately the building in which it was held was much too small for getting it properly displayed, and the space far too даса ы {һе convenience and comfort of the visitors, on account of the crowding and the ену over- heating. Unfortunately, dh the не алаган ements for directing the course ng of people some increase of expense for the judges' accommodation, but this should be more than counterbalanced by the increased time available for receipts. To revert to the show itself. The display of Grapes was its grandest and special feature. Mr, JOHNSTON’S(gr.to the Earl of STRATHMORE, Glamis Castle) bunch of Muscat of Alexandria, and Mr. REED’s (gr. to A. H. MONCURE, Esq., Dundee) bunch of Mrs. Pince's Black Muscat, to which the Veitch Prizes and Medals were awarded, were as perfect examples of Grape growing as one could desire to see ; while the sensational element was amply satisfied in the bunch of Raisin de Calabre, weighing 261b. 4 0z., which was shown by Mr. CURROR, gr. to DOUGLAS, Esq., of Eskbank, and to which the Veitch Prize and Medal for the most ейдеен bunch of white Grapes, not S awarded ; and the seedling from “ Darkane " weighing 121 Ib., shown by Mr. the Earl of DURHAM, Lambton Ca some well-shouldered bunch, nicely swelled, but not fully coloure Next to the Grapes perhaps the Peaches were most remarkable for their size and colour ; those selected for prizes out of the many whi r staged were grand examples of this delicious fruit, and the colour of the Ist prize lot was superb, Nectarines, Plums, and Apricots were all shown in considerable pier ad and were fully up to the average in quality ; while Pears and Apples were shown in large ee and the Apples especially were remarkably fine, clean grown examples, including some varieties not common in the South. 1 these matters will be found recorded in detail in their proper place in the report at The prizes for collections of fruit were well contested for, and were ii id creditable to the eral growers, Mr. JOHNSTON taking the lead ; so also меге those for the collections of eight "n te nci hich clace Mr Ыттмтєрр ¢ 1. tten nce. once in, there no possi sible egress, no не but to pass up and down the whole series of narrow avenues to the end ; whereas, had there been a ening here and there, it might have saved the less horticulturally-inclined visitors many a weary step, and have tended to relieve the pressure of the crowd upon those who were most interested in the exhibits reason set forth for holding this A" which took place under the auspices of t Royal ee Horticultural Society, is that the great London and English provincial societies acil is principal exhibitions only in summer, so that a large and important class of autumn fruits would not be brought before the public in any other way.

But there is very little young wood in Wistman's Wood. Тһе specimen of one of the little trunks, which has been placed in the museum at Exeter by command of the Prince of Wales, to whom Dartmoor belongs as part of the Duchy of Cornwall, is as tough as it is old, and the annual rings of grown are so small that no reliable estimate can be formed of the probable age of the tree. I send you a young branch, 9 inches in length, with a notch cut near the lesser and older end, which is six-eighths of an inch in circumference, while the younger end is an eighth more. The anomaly in the size of the older compared with the younger ends of this diminutive branch may be due to the compression of the mass of moss in which it was imbedded.

We congratulate these gentlemen heartily on the success of their endeavours, and thank them de zou? соир for the great kindness shown to our атаа and the facilities that were offered them in ee of the report which appears inti ME. trust that the article of M. BALTET on BUDDING the PEACH with FRUIT BUDS will receive e m. attention it merits. It is, indeed, singular that so little advantage is taken of the process of grafting with flower or fruit buds. With the exception of some plants intended for forcing we scarcely ym meet with illustrations of the practice, and yet it is ne either new n difficult, while its GE iik are obvious. To remove a fruit-bud or a fruit-spur from one tree per transfer it to another is no more difficult hac ing or grafting with leaf-buds or scion m is only lately that M. BALTET, the eminent mologist and the able writer, has tried this process with the Peach, at the suggestion, as he says, of one of his employes, M. BALTET, in his most ‘praiseworthy desire to render credit , or even to his assistant, iwho, as he supposes, must have gain ned the idea from some one else, though he is not able to say from whom. That assistant has a name which suggests that ы is of British nationality or descent ; at any rate, it is certain that, so far from the practice not Belg noticed in horticultural works, it is mentioned in several of the leading: English works.

К bonos, is one great difference between the points of interest presented by the Black- berry and Raspberry respectively, in that while the former has, as we have seen, a great deal of olklore connected with it, th gen rally recognised * needs no demonstration," as Euclid observes, although our earlier writers do not seem to have шом them as important as are now usually considered. Turner, indeed, says that “the raspis is found in many gardines of England ;" and Tusser, among his horticultural ствы has the lines— “ The Barberry, Respis, and Gooseberry too, | Look now to be Кы аз ойе things do ; t Gerarde says its taste is “not very plea- | w^ ” although he also Sates to its being planted P in gardens. At the pres ay, however, few Its are more popular ог he le generally culti- vated ; an es” are extensively em- ployed, not only as a dessert fruit for making r puddings, but for jam and for being frequently prescribed in cases of sore throat and the like. Langham, in his Garden of Health, says “it were good to keepe some of the juyce of raspis berries in some wooden vessell, and to make it, as it Wis "m. ue which is good for many purpose which was rich, though not eee po vk was formerly made from Raspberries, and employe in scorbutic disorders : this was especially used in Poland, where the Raspberries abound in the woods. In Russia the fruit is dried in large quantities for winter use: and a hydromel is made from it, the Raspberries being dried and mixed with honey and then fermented. Accord- ing to Langham, from whom we have already quoted, “the flower stampt with hony applyed is good for the inflammation of the eyes,” while “the leaves and tender springs” were also used in domestic medicine. Even at the present day a tea is occasionally made from the leaves, as, indeed, has been the case with almost all ts except such as are a lutely poisonous. Threlkeld, speaking of the fruits, says, * They are dear in Dublin for tincturing brandy." It would be foreign to our purpose to enter upon a description or even an enumeration of ees different varieties of Raspberry which are n cultivation ; but they are both numerous and тошо Although most of them have г ruit, pere are not wanting others in which the rries” are yellow or white ; and a rather curious form, known as the “ black Raspberry," produces a dark purple fruit, and is said to have been obtained by crossing the Raspberry with the common hedge ble. = a wild state, the Raspberry is common ugh, and in some localities is so abundant dit it is collected by the villagers for domestic purposes. Gerarde's account of it embodies one of those casual references to his early life, which are but “few and f. etween," and which are the more ышыне дй on account of Шен infrequency. “І found it,” he says, * among the bushes of a causey, neere unto a et o village called Wisterson, where I wen choole, 2 milesfrom the Nantwich in Cheshire.” This reference seems to have escaped the notice ofthe writer of the very interesting sketch of the life of Gerarde, which lately appeared in a he Engle names of i dni are somewhat иш That by which it is gener- ally known means simply the berry produced by the rasp, or resp (plural raspis or respis, or even, as in Lyte, d eua being the older name ofthe plant, which i in use in many counties. Whether this Sri to the roughness of the stem, as some have supposed, or, as is more probable, to the use of the wood in hog eastern counties, where it signifies 5 Sucker, a young stem, and is applied ат. to the fruit-bearing stem of the Raspberry, is somewhat uncertain, thinks it may have om its growth in woods, which would be frequented by stags and hinds; a supposition which is * gathered by poor people, and of course by hinds among the rest," they etes take their or thinks sition is strengthened by the fact that Turner, who ие. : beeg called Hindberry in the north, says it ed “in Duche Hyndberen.” The French hes Framboise, appears in our older writers (as Lyte and Gerarde) as an t one time in use The specific title, Idzeus, appears t have originated, as in other cases, from the rell or supposed growth of the Raspberry upon Moun In the United States several allied species of Rubus are known by the name Ad Rasp ^ although the European Ri there. Of ur Raspberry is furnished by R. strigosus ; both may possibly be forms of one species. It is probably to this plant that the variety known as the Catawissa should be referred ; this form that Mrs. Moody refers when she speaks of the * berrying parties" which take place in Canada during the summer.

And, "should political tempests be brewed, the Bonhommes may not be sorry to have tried friends on this side of the water. There seems no valid reason why like interchanges should not extend further into the interiors, and through re numerous social strata, both of those and other countries.

At present you have As the soldi ci was never set eyes on from that day to this, the sting of his criticism did not rankle long. The truth is that the Greek, but without a single word of any living language to help him in his hour of need; a linguistic fund which cool reflection pronounced to be inconveniently limited, and whose defici- ency ought to be remedied forthwith. But it is easier to fill the memory with new words than to train the oral organs to utter them properly. That is a work of time, patience, and practice. *'To learn the pronunciation," says Cobbett, * there is no way but that of hearing those, and speaking with those, who speak the language well." With grammatical knowledge and a fair stock of words, writing a foreign language correctly is far easier than speaking it. In writing you can proceed leisurely, can stop when in doubt ; can reflect or consult your dictionary when uncer- tain about genders, orthography, or — tion, But in speaking you must go on and on. When once mounted on the back of a cire irn you must take the fence before you, heedless of consequences and defiant of accidence. You must keep your seat on it till you reach the end. In the middle of a ee you can neither change horses nor form phrase. Even if you stumble a little hs must still push forward. Study and perseverance will make the feat every day an increasingly easier performance; but both those conditions are indispensable. To no branch of knowledge can Lord Bacon's axim be more truly applied than to languages: “Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man Essayers of strange tongues should be en- couraged by the thought that sensible people make full allowance for their shortcomings, and that for people who are not sensible they would be foolish to care.

Much that has been written,and more of what is believed ing acclimati tion, is sheer fallacy, But little of actual fact can be sifted out of the masses of chaff to prove that any plant is one whit hardier than it was when first imported, although the possiblity оѓ such a change, or even of its occasional existence, is not denied (by the writer quoted). даке. the Peach, Nectarine, and Apricot, for Th & as warm-blooded and ble st grown in England. ag еМ have been cut by spring frosts, ‹ эе бакчы of their crops nd tL S, throughout cen- turi sis ready to open their de on tee first bright day, and to offer them up to the mercy of the first sharp night, as when originally introduced; and so with other plants" From all which the writer wisely con- (0—— IN ad Rötar HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY cludes that safety must be looked for, not in ut them with the same conditions that Nat ture cae vided for their safety in that a climatal niche that she intended them As some consolation, we ae congratulate ourselves that the limits set by Nature on accli- eir m con mouths as household words.

We are indebted to Mr. W. B. KELLOCK, of Stamford Hill, for exploding this false notion. With his choice collection of Agaves and other succulent plants he cultivates most of the Beaucarneas, and observation: € experiment have induced him to rever: ment given to these plants. The result is a much more vigorous as well as much more rapid growth. The plants are deluged with water, often twice a day, during summer, and in the dull season when comparatively at rest they are never allowed to become dry. T beneficial effect of this treatment is abundantly shown in a fine example, which a year or two since came almost leafless into Mr. KELLOCK'S ands, but which is now freely clothed with vigorous healthy foliage.

HIS name, which is the commonly received English equivalent for the Sambucus Ebulus of botanists, is the Зе чек ре of a numerous class of myths which find an echo in various parts of the world, and in uxorcm Indeed, a list of t upposed to originate from the blood shed either in battle or otherwise, would embrace a much larger number of spec ies than would at first be imagin may have anata A prompte that 75 of an early Christian writer which ma most be said to have become proverbial, “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church ;” at any rate we find it in close connection with the very origin of Christianity itself. The red Rose is fabled by tradition to owe its crimson hue to the blood which fell upon it, while yet in its white condition, as it beneath the Cross on Calvary ; our Orchis is called in some parts of Cheshire Gethsemane, and the dark spots on its leaves were attributed by the pious, if unreasoning, HOME. of our ancestors to a similar sacred 21 origi like belief among the different creed—the “ Indian i Shot" plant, Canna indica, having its origin, as the Buddhists believe, in the blood of Buddha, which was shed from his foot when he cut it upon a sharp rock. Coming down to a somewhat later period in history we find the same strange superstition in full force—indeed, the most recent development of our own time. A recent VI gue г Cal “Re tra aa “held at: Tara i in 1843, he says, “ There is a plant which the gods of botany call Rumex Acetosella, but which is known to the simple as Sheep’ s Sorrel; itis a dwarf Sorrel, the leaves of plenty, the day of the monster meeting, m especially on and around the eu ab grave. ody) of woman ask him i why those red plants were ther at-her ignorance, he ене etn ‘Isn’t it on account of the boys that were murdered i in 'e8, and buried in am grave ?—and i em red??? especially in pie with battles and battlefields that this Tagg has been d.

Near Lower Wick, i tershire, there is a large patch of the plant, and the tradition there is that it commemorates the shedding of the “first blood.” spilt in the con- test between Charles I. and the Parliamentary army.

Yet another proof that the name Dane's- blood is really connected with the Northern invaders of former days, and not with any disease, is furnished by one of its local applica- tions, a and affords a instance of the way in WINCH may prove of s ervice. We have already re- ferred to Camden's mention of the Sambucus the Danes empor of the battle fought between Cnut a mund Ironsides, in 1016.

That this is not alone essential to mere appearance but is also conduci is equally evident. So fa living, generally under praem of positive neglect, in the very heart of London and other places, where, if not surrounded by so many miles of buildings, eee are yet under more baneful influences. That soot alone, although decidedly injurious when We leaves become coated with gene it, and the capacity of these breathing organs | Take, for instance, the trees and shrubs in the squares of the metropolis. Their present state, compared with what might be accomplished were they better cared for, is a subject that has been so often urged in these columns that it possesses anything but the charm of novelty. True, within the last year or two there have been some few signs of a dis- position to shake off the lethargic indifference, that, if persist ted in, must ere long result in the inevitable destruction of such trees as still re- main, but which, if ed according to their requirements, might yet flourish. Londoners who visit Continental cities are loud in their praises of the condition in which they find the trees growing in every available space in these towns, and they console themselves as being superior to ours ; but, if this question is carefully studied in all its bearings, it will be seen that the climate of the large Continental towns, so far as regards the matter under con- sideration, is not so much more favourable than our own, as to account for the difference in the condition of the trees growing immediately within _ Undoubtedly i in. Southern climes need brighter sun, with an atmo- sphere much lees charged, with soot but 2 adum pe eui aei вара ап айтама effect .their etas were noth idee t to assist Nature in the shape of volue s Watexiugo--inóre than is ever attempted | pied by beds, grass, and gravel op the trees growing in similar situations with s, Again, if with us they are subject to greater кет е ар of SN the much more frequent showers we get, even in our driest summers, directly tend to ddp the evil by washing off. There are three elements essential to the existence of vegetable life—suitable soil, light, and water ; if all or any of these are non- -existent nature of the soil in which they grow, provided t is not from the first exceptionally poor, or allowed afterwards to become exhausted. If light is deficient the leaves and sap can never attain the condition requisite to healthy exist- ence. Ifthe roots are short of water, the whole energies of the plant are at once paralysed, through the expenditure ba адра being in excess of the supply, causing premature decay and falling-off of the aver: before they have had time to fulfil their allotted functions. This latter is the principal cause of disease in town trees, at portion of the roots are situated under paved or hard-surfaced gravel walks, all but impervious to water; deep arterial and surface drains are ever at work drawing off the limited quantity of rain that is able to reach any portion of the soil, and next to nothing is done in the shape of artificial waterings to supply the deficiency. It is owing to this cause —insufficient moisture at the roots—more than to all others put together that trees in the London squares languish. The question might be asked of those who are the most directly interested in this matter, Is it not worth while to take means to remedy the evil? Surely no one will deny that hand- some trees in a flourishing state enhance the appearance of even the finest examples of architecture, and their presence is infinitely more in when the buildings that surround them e plainest possible character, to say vim. of the individual beauty of the trees themselves—the grateful shade and relief they b RT the miles of ge bricks and ment. Is the richest city in world so deficient in spirit on the part of dios most concerned as to allow the continuance of such a state of things? Were London an arid desert, where it was necessary to economise every drop of water to sustain ani life, the case would be different. What is required is, that through the dry periods of summer the soil everywhere, where it can be got at, including the space occu- walks, be regu- larly soaked, so as to keep it in a healthy, moist condition down as deep as the roots go. This is not an operation difficult to perform ; were it carried out it would not only Mer the ‘state of the trees, but it would make the cultivation of the shrubs and ordinary flowering plants that are now attempted to be grown amongst them something more ds a mere burlesque upon legitimate garden Another source e weakness to tree life in such ituations is the loss of Nature's recuperative process ; she returns to the earth what has been taken from it, by the medium of the decomposed leaves, which are allowed to remain where they fall, and ultimately to become incorporated with the soil, For appearance sake we remove these leaves, but the liberal dressings of several inches of manure which should in their stead be applied every winter are not always forthcoming, though d easily be supplied without using any that would be objectionable to the senses. What we have said applies more particularly to such trees and shrubs as already exist, Whatever is 1 be me carried out with judgment, вд а атлант selec- tion of plants adapted to not by planting banks of КГ гаете packed together as closely as if ina railway truck for trans sit, a: instance, was do consider. able variety.

The peculiar and novel construction of the WHITE STAR GERMAN ROUND BURNER makes it espe- cially acceptable in any position in the household, as it only heats the air in passing through the Stove, without throwing off a burning smell, ог any unpleasant odour | ftom the oil, and it is in fact the greatest desideratum of ‘the age, as by simply lifting off the upper part Stove it is adapted for any description of Cooking, by | ling or Frying, which at once makes it useful the Patent of the 27 inches high. whole year through. Experience proves that it gives by a single burner more NATURAL heat than four flat burners, or any other known Petroleum Stove. It can never get out ot order, it is always cold on the Oil-well, and cannot explode; and the economy is obvious, as it can be kept at full burning power by using one quart of any mineral oil in thirty-six hours, and will effectually ` . Warm a space of twenty square feet. Price, T1 2s: ба. RICHD. SCHREIB РО Sane Ай РТ РЕ MAY BE HAD OF ANY NURSER YMAN, SEEDSMAN, OR WHOLESALE ONLY OF THE MAKERS, 28, RED CROSS STREET, E.C.

HE subject of the date of introduction of many of our most common and most popular garden plants has more than onc been brought forward in these es; and we have before this drawn attention to the fact that many of the flowers which ornament the smallest and poorest garden now-a-days were not, indeed, rare, but absolutely unknown among the horti- culturists of former days. When speaking of Pelargoniums a few weeks back, we gave the dates of the first appearance of those now wet pensable border plants i in our gardens ; and w imilar manner бе [17 pensable venena of our gardens—we mean the Chrysanthem It would, indeed, be difficult to ri ien tour the value of this me plant all its varieties.

The t account, however, by y early writer, is that given b Rumphius in 'the Herbarium Amboinense (1741-55). Hetellus how the plant was cultivated not only in China and Japan, but also in India and Malaya, and mentions the infinite number of varieties which ow very large blossoms were secured.

Mr. Sabine's paper in the Zransac- tions of the Royal Horticultural. Society for 548 IHE GARDENERS CHRONICLE. [OCTOBER 30, 1875. 1822. This paper, by the way, with two others by the same author, in the Transactions of the Linnean Society, n xiii. and xiv., will be found to contain a vast amount of information relative to the теа, and should be carefully consulted by any one who may be anxi ious to work up the subject more completely and more in detail than is possible in a necessarily brief “To the zealous gar- deners of England,” he wit “and more espe- paper like the present. cially to Sir Abraham Hume, we with violet flowers.

The distinctness of the two species of Chry- santhemums was established by Sabine in his paper in the Linnean Societys Transactions (vol xiv.) it 1823, and from a note in would seem that P. indicum had again made an appearance in English gardens, having been imported by Mr. Samuel Brooks, of Ball’s Pond, from China, and deese to the Horticultural erm Society.

It would be quite ER to give any меше notion of the number or characters of e hundreds of Diac ign of Chrysanthemum now in Cultivation; such an attempt would, moreover, be foreign to our intention, which has only been to give a short résumé of the history of their introduction. We shall therefore con- tent ourselves with a mere passing allusion to the distinct races of the large-flowered species which have at a comparatively recent date been brought to our gardens ; we allude to what are termed “ Japanese Chrysanthemums,” which in their eccentric irregularity and diversity of form are among the most remarkable of flowering plants. In our columns for 1861 (p. 550) figures of three or four of the first introduced of these izarre and strange productions will be found, but they have been far surpassed in quaintness by the forms which have since been exhibited in In concluding our sketch, we able to make a point of visiting. the approaching annual I — in the Tem ardens, with which, ear, our metropolis is brightened are what is perhaps the dreariest and dullest of our dreary and dull winter months. B. M. AMERICAN PEACHES UNDER ENGLISH CULTURE. THE recent introduction of American Peaches on a large scale into our markets is a remarkable fact, and may eventually cause some disturbance in the course of home production. Some articles of interest have appeared on this subject, and it may be useful to record my own experience in the culture of these foreign Peaches, which has now extended over some and has included nearly every variety introduced into Europe. e many native seedlings таяв to us, of rse, dud the best of all have been sent over for drin of ripening some of Mr. Rivers' seedlings by the first week in June, whilst our latest fruit was late as December. This gave 5а six months for the purposes of trial.

Not very far from St. Martha's Hill the earth was laid lately on the head of a stranger who had returned to his birthplace in his coffin, forgotten, but unable to forget while memory held. But in spite of this common love of our early ur. many of us perhaps who had the misfor- e to be born, even near St. Martha's Hill, a little too long ago, w n for ү» while the Dart glides below die а The peculiar beauties of Dini are as widely spread around this hill and church as those of Surrey are around St. Martha's Chapel, and the same effective agents—fire and water— were employed by Nature in shaping the surface of the two pr It may be that when fire the landscape gardening of a country, the result is striking, as in the Highlands or around Dol- gelly, where Cader Idris wears a Plutonic crown, and many of the mountains are capped with intrusive trap and serpentine. The tricks the landscape those nite of D thrust up the strip of limestone which surrou it, and which enriches the corn land and pas- turage of Drewsteignton, and, in fact, of every parish that lies thereon. at Exeter: as to the most delectable Sistas in the land of es which were par- al map, upon the blue strip of ink which repre- sents the granite of Dartmoor. Beauty in land- scapes is often moored to granite, or anchored in its immediate neighbourhood, as it is here. It is here, too, that the prettiest lanes are found. There is one winding up the hill to the church at Buckfastleigh, a path through a pasture, over a stone stile of many tons and between s of earth and stone, with Hazel hedge above and a fernery below, with glimpses of orchards to remind you that this parish only yields the palm for cider to the celebrated Staverton, a few miles lower down the Dart. Limestone, the best of rocks for grass, is not a bad one for Apples, which find here convenient y on its outskirts, enclosing a uM boggy, barren waste, which is generally bar d not unlike a rolling sea turned to stone, like the gian and carpeted with vegetation: to the tops of those brown heaving billows of granite crested with tors. The resemblance to the deep furrows of a troubled ocean can easily enough be imagined in the valleys of Dartmoor, which run irregularly, but tend southward to the gap by which the D escapes from the hills and enters the oods of Buckland. Т ugged forest, devoid of timber, form a capital foil to the smoother beauties of the surrounding country, where th just named—built of limest and granite—shine ran white in their respective hollows, with hills at back and front, and others outside, distinctive features of thi astleigh, leans, meditatin upon the side of one of those shapely pits of his, he listens to the noisy Dart, sometimes called the darting Dart, and ponders on its share in creating the surrounding landscape.

Elevation of surface on an exten- sive scale is supposed to have formed the cavi- ties occupied now by several seas and a string of lakes in Northern Europe.

And then again, why do the lanes wind and sidle up and down, high and low, curved and crooked and always several feet beneath the general level of the land, each being based upon a Fernery and over-arched with Hazel? As I have so y eii said and shall never forget, here are reasons for the pecularity the lanes, which bring me to another and water it be said that an equally un- conscious landscape gardener, a busybody some few hundred е "piens in ery much occupied upon the surface, and is solely ые for the The work was doubt, - .purposes that were obvious at the time when' it was effected, but it is impossible now to comprehend all the turnings, twistings, and contortions, always accompanied by Hazels and nutting in the season, of the very numerous lanes. Their great de epth of from 2 o feet sometimes on the sides of hills ma ай be attributed to the washing of water, which has gradually carried the materials of soft roads or lanes down the slope to lower levels ; but the rest is a mystery. There is no reason to sup- pose that our predecessors were more romantic in their ideas, or naturally more queer than our- selves.

He says :—“ In this flower there is a beautiful complication of dif- ferent a of red that all follow one — or n it is in its prime there may be мат іп it, I, а carnation ; 2, ovi et ; 3, a fuller эс. s 4, a modena d 5, a crim- n. en we look upon n би M rider in full ncm each leaf appears to be studded with thousands of little diamonds, sparkling and еар with a most surprising and agreeable lustre ; but if we view the same by candle-light these numerous specks ór spangles look more like fine gold dust." In this work by Dr. Douglas various other traditions are given as to the origin - the plant on the Guernsey shore, where, by way, it is not now to be found. It is said nee the first u^ received him and treated him well; that the gentleman planted the bulbs in his garden, but after three or four years, no sign of blossom having appeared, he ordered them to be dug up and thrown into a corner of his garden, where they flowered when he least expected them to oso.

[NoVEMBER 13, 1875, the Guernsey Lily, it appears from Dr. Douglas’ account that it is, or was, generally believed in Jersey to be of East Indian origin, and was hence known as the Indian flower, but for this supposition there is no foundation in fact. 2.

LESLIE, the report of the first day's proceedings of which a in last week's issue, and the conclusion of which will be found at p. 623, is of so exceptional a character, and of pos: general interest to employers, gardeners nurserymen, as to warrant our сару diee ring to it here. From what transpired in evidence it would appear that Colonel CHARLES LESLIE was the owner of Leslie Castle, Ireland, and kept up a ardening establishment there until his death, in June, 1871. Atthat time, and for some time NOUS за had а gardener of the name of D, , after the death of Colonel LESLIE, co mined in the same са his brother, JOHN LESLIE. It Bie boss Bet. duis C sonon LESLIE'S ed mhe а £700 per at ome говне — small orders for ke had been n by Hoop, on behalf of his vig a to plaintiff and which were executed by him After the defendant, Mr. J. LESLIE, | сие into possession of the place Hoop continued as here- tofore, to give orders to plaintiff nues others for plants, shrubs, &c., but toa larger amount collec- tively, and for plants of much greater value indi- vidually. ere was an account of some £16 odd paid by defendant to plaintiff in Jan., 1873, through his gardener Hoop. Mr. LESLIE, find- ing that over double the amount expended in his brother’s time was being spent, told Hoop that he would not permit this to go on, and that the expenditure must not exceed £600 per year. This, as a matter of course, was unknown: i :verth Hoop fine specimen stove and greenhouse plants, In May, 1874, an account of over £72 was paid by Hoop, leaving a still larger amount unsettled, atthe same time Hoop intimated to plaintiff by letter that he had exceeded his allowance for 1873, but would settle the itc when he could draw upon his next year's account, and still kept on ordering specimen plants until the amount reached £428. Shortly after this, but before he was aware of the extent to which his gardener had gone in purchasing from the plaintiff Mr. LESLIE discharged him, after which, as a matter of course, the accounts were sent in i without autor bu ke payer sted | ж = paid into court £328, being £100 less .han the amount claimed, and to recover this the case was taken into court. We have thus brought the principal facts together ina way that our readers will be able to understand them. In the evidence adduced simple perusal to fully реси the case. The plea set up at the commencement by the learned Counsel for the gm nce, of the non- liability of defendant for the orders given by his gardener, was over-ruled by the judge, and was withdrawn. The fact of previous orders having been given by the gardener for defendant to plaintiff, executed by him and afterwards paid ке rendered the defendant liable for апу sub- sequent transactions. Defendant's Counsel also submitted that plaintiff could not claim on account of having supplied goods after learning from the gardener that he had purchased more than the sum he was allowed for the year would permit of, unless he, the plaintiff, had taken the trouble to learn more about the matter. The Counsel for plaintiff urged the strength of his case, in the fact that the defendant, after ware of his possession of the goods, retained them, instead of asking plaintiff to take them back. The Jud e saw the force of this, but, as a counterpoise, considered it equally incumbent on the plaintiff to have proposed to plaintiff from any disposition to act unjustly or wrongfully in the matter, nevertheless he con- sidered that in supplying goods to the gar- dener’s order, after he had had an intimation that the gardener, had for the year expended more than his allotted sum, he did so at his 2 wn peri After retiring for deliberation the jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed, less 5 per cent., which, had the account been settled in the ordinary course, woul аре prs have been presented to the garaener though we are glad to find the plaintiff onda ing the equivocal practice of giving discount. Respec ting the views advanced as to a pro- ei knowledge as to the totally different nature of plants from ordinary merchandise, In the case of a bale of Manchester goods or a package of Sheffield cutlery a proceeding of this kind might hold good, for, if they had not been used and were carefully stored, even for the length of time same of these plants had been delivered, they ight have lost little in value. Not so with a full-grown specimen plants, which nothing less than skilful attention and great care for year s had brou TUM up to the size and estion. had evidently condition those | PR With UA = Tack of knowledge i in eir management, even for a very short time, would either destroy them outright, or lessen their value so as to make them of little worth—a condition, from what transpired at the trial, some of them had indeed ei reduced to. In ase there are two things that forcibly present КЕЗ the first of which is, the blind infatuation and culpable recklessness of the gardener after being warned by his employer that he would not allow such an expenditure, in continuing to pledge his employer's credit for so large an amount; next the unaccountable carelessness on the part of the employer, after having had occasion to reprimand his gardener for exceeding the amount he should have gone to in ing plants, and limiting him. for the future, i in not ascertaining tha! t his in to. Many gentlemen know little compara- tively about plants, but an who kn Fuchsias, Pelargoni шша Md such like ordinary things, and the finest specimens, such as those in question, some of which were individually as well known i ie connected with gardening as a caster or à Lowlander amongst habitués of idis Turf, plants were sold for more than their value ; but, in justice to the plaintiff, we can state our opinion with confidence—an opinion shared by many competent to judge—that such was not the case. To the credit of gardeners be it said, it is a although very frequently they take as much pride in the excellence of the things under their charge, and the general appearance of the places entrusted to them, as they could possibly case is one that may serve as a salutary w ing to all concerned, both V aiia Fab м. and nurserymen.

DIOSPYROS KAKI (New Fruit). Of this New Japanese Fruit we have introduced from Japan four of the best cultivated varieties. The ripe fruit resembles much in appearance that of an Apricot, having a bright orange colour, covered with a delicate bloom, and attaining a size of from 2} to 3 inches in diameter. The flavour approaches that of an Apricot, , gradually passing into that of a Medlar, and when fully ripe is very pleasant. ^A Fruit was exhibited at the Fruit Committee of the Horticultural Society, November то, 1875. We have a fine stock of two-year- old grafted plants of our own growing, fit for training against a wall or to grow as bushes. For further particulars, see our Catalogue, free on application.

To ties late Professor ments of the garden ; and his zealous love for his айта mater in general, and the establish- ent he directed in particular, are gratefully remembered by those who were privileged to witness them. It is obvious, however, that to have to depend on private munificence in a case like this is a ao a F Be НЫ of the present коке ЭА and a new provision does the University intend to make to maintain it? Nothing can be more disheart- ening to the Professor and his subordinates than to have to maintain a garden—whose poverty cannot be concealed—with insufficient means. If the University is not disposed to put financial matters on a satisfactory footing, both as regards the maintenance of the garden, the income of the Professor, and the salaries of his Os i siders say it w association with Museum and its splendid and ya equipped library and laboratories. Again we are not mistaken, a portion of the * Parks around the arboretum, for which the space in the existing garden is far too limite The first reason is, doubtless, a valid one, but it might readily be met if Magdalen College would undertake to supply the necessary funds more liberal scale. Next comes the desire to con- centrate the scientific establishments of the Uni- versity—a desire natural enough if not out- weighed by other considerations. With reference to this point we may ask whether the soil and site near the Museum are suitable for the purpose ? If our recollection be accurate there is but little depth of soil above the arid oolitic limestone rock, and if this be so it is certainly not a favourable site to select for a botanic garden. It is fair also to ask what real inconvenience, if existing garden, —€— small and requiring renovation, is complete in itself. excellent library, a good herbarium, and ad- joining it is a laboratory belonging, we believe, Magdalen College—a laboratory which was the scene of the late Professor DAUBENY'S ex- periments on the action of light on plants, and of numerous other observations on vegetable physiology and agricultural chemistry made by that indefatigable and pure-hearted man. Moreover, if further space be required it would, we imagine, be easy to acquire more land in the direction of Christ Church Meadow. n the case of Cambridge, of Edinburgh, and of sundry ышы ыд gardens, change of site has been n ated from the encroach- ments of houses, cing таайа detent xip of the atmosphere, and a general intensification of the conditions hostile to plant culture, Is this so at Oxford? We venture to think not. The present garden is not likely, we imagine, o be more encroached upon that it is already, even now it is hardly more so than the “parks,” in which the Museum is situated, and the out- skirts of which are occupied by a daily increas- ing меле» If n arden were in existence it would, айан. be preferable to select а site nearer to the other scientific establishments of the rt q probably large enough for purely scientific ways the first consi lon in a botanic garden ко per ; and the ** Parks" could be utilised for the growth of such things for charm which the beautiful little garden over- looked by the graceful tower of Magdalen College ii but probably if it ceased to be the. botanic arden it would still be maintained as a pleasure-ground, so that that objection would fall to the ground, Lastly, there remains a sentimental reason why the site of the garden should not be lightly changed.

DIOSPYROS KAKI (New Fruit). Of this New Japanese Fruit we have introduced from Japan four of the best cultivated varieties. The ripe fruit resembles much in appearance that of an Apricot, having a bright orange colour, covered with a delicate bloom, and attaining a size of from 2} to 3 inches in diameter. The flavour approaches that of an Apricot, gradually passing into that of a Medlar, and when fully ripe is very pleasant. A Fruit was exhibited at the Fruit Committee of the Horticultural Society, November ro, 1875. We have a fine stock of two-year- old grafted plants of our own growing, fit for training against a wall or to grow as bushes. For further particulars, see our Catalogue, ree on application.

"What, for instance, is the native country o one oi our common weeds? Who has seen the Shepherd's Purse, for example, in any eod where it is not dependent upon, or an accompaniment of, culti- vation? If we recollect rightly, Dr. Hooker stets having encountered this with two or three other weeds of MEER wherever culti- vation was found in hi travels ; but we d seek in vain to date aen its native co —a region where it exists apart from and a de ыш, of nct In America, r.

It is not often that archzology and botany unite, though, as shown in the articles on “ The Apple of Litera- ture” on April 10 and 17 last, they are seen to do so in the case of the Apple. In the present be found—betwe e hich connect the *Isle of Apples" of Arthu- repute with that locality. King ARTHUR, it appears, is supposed to have been buried in Avalon (Glastonbury), in England, and in Aigui- i nori uivalent of Avalon being Isle of Apples. An island in Loch Awe, in Argyllshire, has a Celtic legend containing the principal features of Arthurian story, but in this case the word is “berries” instead of These particulars were fully given in a paper read on June то last, by Dr. PHENE before the Royal Historical Society, in which he expressed a belief that the legend of the mystical ARTHUR was derived from the cha- * closely examining and Avalon in the Apples on the tree were berries. The specimen he has submitted to us is the Pyrus DESVA gured in DE 5 western shores occupied, anterior to the invasion of the Cymry, by a peculiar race of people remote from that which shaped fruits, about the size of Hawthorn berries, borne on long slender pedicels. In Brittany wild Pears, and this among the num- ber, known under the name of Besi or Besizolle, whence the name Besi, applied to certain cultivated Pears. P. cordata may very probably be the origin of certain early Apple- shaped Pears, Its geographical distribution in Persia and in Western Europe was inexplicable, thing in even Arthurian story, and is as follows. MERLIN s one of the ancient poems, “I and with teeth brilliant as pearls amid Roses.” (Myvirian, t. i, p. 151.) THE case of WILLIAMS v. LESLIE, to which we have already referred, and which was fully d in our columns, will probably have consequences not foreseen at the time. e cannot doubt that these consequences will be the means of bringing about eventually a great reform in the matter of flower shows, and, if so, great good will have been done. It is not necessary to revert to all the circum- stances of the trial above alluded to, It-may suffice to say that, in the opinion of the jury, as also of the Judges who refused the application for a new trial, the plaintiff had done nothing incompatible with the law. That the defendant was worthy of great sympathy, and would have been yet more so had he exercised common prudence, is also patent to every reader. As to the conduct of the gardener there cannot be two opinions, Disregarding, how- ever, this special case, let us enquire a little uses urther and endeavour to ascertain лег. са which тау lead to scandals of the nature of excitement of competition, the intoxication of success, may, and probably do, lead to transac- tions which, if not illegal, are at least imprudent. In any case they would be i some reasonable assurance that his confidential agent would do so for him. It would seem incredible that plate, or pictures, or jewels should be purchased in quantities, and that invoices and bills should be delivered to the master or his agent, without either of them taking the trouble i t or La rate, the “ desire to do business "— provided it be legitimate—offers nothing that the most rigid urist can object to, The purchaser can always protect himself if he chooses, ralising, vicious system, and we have incurred some odium for so doing.

The practice i; morally ruinous, and, worse still, it is wide. spread. Lastly, we come to the question of flower shows. These have multiplied excessively of late ing these exhibitions was to encourage vation—to bring out improvements in growing, to introduce new and valuable The primary object originally in found. culti- plant ` plants for decorative purposes or for utilitarian objects, Such are still the professed objects. But in too many cases these laudable aims are overlaid hearing of bands, and the display of fashionable attire. How many of the visitors to a flower show now-a-days care a button for horticulture? Only a small proportion, we imagine ; and yet it is for the sake of these so-called patrons of hor- ticulture that numerous if not large prizes are ~ ffered. "This assertion may seem paradoxic *to make a show," in order to attract the paying public. Now, to make a show it is necessary some. times to subordinate the primary object for - which horticultural societies were established, in order to get plants that will serve the purpose of decorative objects. Hence specimen plants, - the shows, taking all the prizes in their course | wearying those whose business or pleasure itis - out means to stable these monsters, by ue ; this may be done in perfect good faith and evet with advantage, but in such cases it shouldbe done openly and the public should have the means of knowing it. as should be made, By this means 9 existing evils would be fairly met.

Ie are among our British plants some few which stand out from the rest in ctn [ө] o smooth flat widespread leaves seem to convey an idea of tropical e a especially when we find i^ as is the case in e of the still backwa of the Thames, joco with the beautifal fringed Buckbean (Villarsia nymphaeoides), and overshadowed with the branches of Alders and Willows and other riverside trees. The common Buckbean itself (Menyanthes trifoliata) is another strikingly dis- tinct plant, and so is the Vi aint Herb Paris (Paris зано р its * true lover's knot" but these are comparatively small,and form no aig in the landscape. But the Travell er’s Joy, as our old Elizabethan herbalist ;John Gerard, named the wild Clematis (C. Vitalba), is a far more striking object, and one as distinct in appearance and habit from the hedge plants which surround it as it is different from the other British members of the order Ranunculacez, to which it belongs, in the Water Lily enables degree, however eared the feelings of the traveller upon whom the Victoria regia first bursts in the fulness of its beauty, we may gain from the Clematis some notion of the “lianes " which form so characteristic ical coun imbs, of its petioles and stems, to a Жат лги height among the trees. These petioles, as Mr. Darwin remarks in his well-known paper upon climbing plants, which has lately been reprinted in book form, remain attached to the plant, and. clasping the branches or other sup- ports to which they have affixed themselves after the blades of the leaves have dropped off ; and this provision enables the Clematis to start upon its next year's growth without any of that delay іп attaining a considerable height which would be caused if it had to begin its upward course de novo with each succeeding spring. At all times of its growth, except perhaps in the very depth of winter, the Travellers Joy is a remarkably pretty or rather handsome plant. It isso when the pale young spring shoots begin to push themselves along the hedge, and to unfold the soft green leaves, which pass through many a shade of colour before they attain the dark rich green which characterises their matured w Hands omer still, and a real joy to lant when ме y Menem ere pe “ goodly shadowe of its “ thick pistiga an аар and the “ the pleasant savour or scent | perhaps of all flower-panicles have given the when earlier | place to the feathery-tailed c carpels, while later ones are just in their prime. And when at length, all the flowers being gone and the leaves fast manta their example, the snowy fleece- like s of fruit lie thickly along the hedge, conti" with the rich dark hue of the Black- and the various reds of the mealy "Guelder Rose (Viburnum Lantana), the woody umerous, al . the so uthern parts о IN ightshade, * Hips and Haws,” and other hedge fruits, the Clematis is almost as beautiful or woman to whom declining’ years have but imparted a fresh charm and sweetness of expression. But we are becoming somewhat sentimental, and must return to more practical considerations, _ e resemblance of the Clematis to the “lianes.” of tropical countries extends to the use to which it is applied. The lianes are largely employed in cordage, being extremely pliant and remarkably strong, and are used in tying up bales of cotton, as will be remembered by those who read the interesting paper * on the natural ropes used for packing cotton bales in t S" which was published five or six years pew by Mr. Charles Bailey, of Man- chester. The Clematis owes one of its ing? names —that of Bindwith—to its employment in tying up bundles, and as withs for жиде for which i some districts extensively French gardeners use its pliant stems in tying up plants, and use make bee-hives and baskets of them. In som parts of Central France the young shoots are cooked and eaten, or preserved in vinegar for domestic use ; abou ut Montpellier they are given to goats and donkeys, and in England the dried leaves have ,been recommended as fodder for cattle. The acrid principle of the plant pro- - bably disappears in drying, as in the case of that schoolboys use cane in smoking, for which purpose it is equally well adapted on account of its structure. That this use of the Clematis is generally known, and may lead to suspicion, is evidenced by a case which was reported last month in the Hertfordshire Mercury, where a boy was charged with having se E fire to a heap of straw, the main ground o against | him being that he had cbe seen “smoking a bit of Bullbine near the straw.” Some know- ledge of local names is required by those who would identify the plants referred to in cases list. of English plant names except that given in Ray's Catalogus plantarum circa Cantabrigiam nascentium, and it is not referred to by Dr. Prior. Similar names crop up more frequently in our newspapers than might be supposed a recent investigation of a case of supposed pou by the berries of Solanum Dulcamara which plant, by the way, is in popular parlance the fruit of the Hawthorn was. intended by this ame. | Apropos of Me ee for Tobacco, it was but lately that we learnt that the common from panne Re but the practice, doubtless, btains elsewhere. xf.

"The present season has undoubtedly been one of the most favourable to the Apple crop on record, so far as regards the greater part of the kingdom ; yet, in spite of and the markets of the large provincial iim and to base his conclu- sions upon the retail prices he would have to pay for even culinary Apples, he would undoubtedly form a very indifferent opinion as to the PN growing capabilities of the country. The sistent complaint of the growers, eM d with very great occasion, is t e prices they receive bear no comparison м, that which the consumers have to pay. This is a matter that under any circumstances will take time to remedy ; nevertheless the subject i is of consider- with the price in former years, Climate as well as habit, we are aware, has much to do with the nature of the food eaten by any people.

Even at the International Exhibition of Agriculture and Horticulture held at Cologne this year, Egypt was most prominent in its large and varied collection, and received the grand diploma of honour, But it is chiefly to the fruit production of Egypt that we would draw attention, because of this least is known.

The example now given is a striking one, and is quite parallel to what has been often observed by himself and others. · In 1874. M. NAUDIN found a hybrid between Lactuca virosa, the wild Lettuce, with rough spiny leaves, and the smooth Laitue de Batavia (Dutch Cos). The hybrid of the first genera- tion was fertile, and from its seeds issued a progeny exceedingly variable, but in which the cs of the two species were mixed in € y of these were as variation, so strange an intermixture of pl the characters of both parents, there was no new "Epod produced—nothing which might not be with in one or other of its parents.

NAUDIN ; and the reply he gives hinges on the following considerations :—Motion is in his idea the passage from one state of equilibrium to another ; the course it takes is always that in which there is least fesistance. From this it follows that once it has begun to proceed in a certain course, its tendency to continue in that course increases, because it enlarges its here of action, and overcomes obstacles. other words, the more remote the commence- ment of the motion, the more UH its a diegiem ы шан T pen. of hereditary acti PATEA е ри UA fes n sionally j manifests шеш аз їп 1 the case of those "sports" and b which are com- | N share M. NAUDIN'S saca uated by the sexes, the offspring necessarily combine the hereditary proclivities of both parents, and, of course, of their respective ancestors. Hence M. NAUDIN is led to con- clude that “species” originated in a large number of individuals of the same structure, derived from the same “ proto-organism,” and that the numerous reciprocal crosses effected between these individuals have determined the direction in which their posterity has become evolved. Originally sexuality consisted in the mere con- jugation of like structures (as seen in the lower algz and in some fungi), but in time the law of division of labour began to operate, so that the individuals became sharply defined as of the male or of the female sex, as the case may be, and reproduction involving the co-operation through countless ages is considered, it is no wonder that there should be a persistence of specific forms ; and the probability that they will never deviate from the course marked out for them by circumstances becomes increasingly great. An alteration could only b be brought about by the exertion of Ж ^ ise {1 1 endency. Issuch a hee ete ? If AS are brought about by variations in the surrounding conditions, or environment, as Mr. SPENCER terms it, it must be remembered that the alteration is in the organism itself, it does not imbibe it from the external conditions ; moreover, the conditions themselves tend to equilibrium in all directions, and hence their power to modify organisms becomes gradually less. M. NAUDIN proceeds to call attention to the small number d variations which are found when mber of seeds of the same re orm. \ producing varieti erhaps ages ago, long rior to domestication, and that their incon- stancy from generati on to generation is simply due to reversion, The оаа Aes specific d of sexual reproduction (as con- trasted with that by means of buds) seem to M. NAUDIN to stand one to the other in the rela- tion of effect to cause.

They talk loudly about the necessity of keeping the garden open as an additional lung to the Metropolis. By al means let it be so, but this is a curious cry from gentlemen who would exclude everybody from the enjoyment of it except themselves and the persons to whom they transfer their tickets ! We admit that curtailment of privileges is a very questionable policy, but what other can be suggested short of skating rinks and things un- objectionable in their way, but quite out of the business of a horticultural society to promote. To our thinking Lord ALFRED CHURCHILL hit Ee Se the mark nearest when he advocated the sever- ance of the horticultural element from a party who have neither knowledge of, interest in, or sympathy with, the objects for which the Society was founded. is Lordship pointed out what were the proper duties of a horticultural society, | advocated provincial shows, a federation of the local societies throughout the тту; the establishment of practical lecture the appointment of teachers of practical шеше in the provinces—the appointment of a Foreign Secretary to revive those relations with foreign | Societies which have been allowed to lapse. In all this he has our -o sympathy, indeed i i ry programme upon неа. But we quite agree: with him also, this cannot be done so long as we are weighted with an unprofitable garden and an unsym- pathetic body of Fellows. An independent Society might do all this, but there are tre- mendous obstacles in the way of a new Society ; and by founding a new one we should not escape from the responsibilities of the old one. Nevertheless, it is clearly merely a question of time, Either the local Fellows must do their duty, and not avail themselves of advantages at debenture debt round their necks, and Her Majesty's Commissioners taking toll for the rent while the horticulturists pursue their legiti- mate obiects elsewhere.

Tree of the colonists, the beautiful silver flower- heads of which are sometimes advertised as * silver capes The plant from which the small * everlasting flowers," which are those most generally em- ployed in decoration both here and abroad, are derived, is Helichrysum orientale, which is naturally of a pale yellow colour, and owes the various hues in which it appears in our shops to artificial preparation. This species is extensively cultivated for ornamental purposes up into small bunches, which are placed in the sun to dry. They аге sold either by weight or at so much—from 14d. to 34., according to size — per bundle, the price in the former case being from 125. to 16s. per hundredweight.

As large fairy rings seem to have been lately years or more, perhaps give my own ideas upon the subject, I do not believe that the chemical constitution of the soil has any influence on their appearance, as I have observed them on hill and meadow, within woods and groves, on the most barren heaths, in rocky places, on boggy ground, and on the margin of the sea. Though commonly called rings, yet completely perfect circles are rare, the great majority being ‘complet "e us lin distinction must also be made between rings ye by Aperi and grass rings without any Agarics in in * Dendrobium floribund: ue ok ee dobulbis crasso лотты diphyllis seu ).

The illustration (fig. 159) which we give at p. 781, prepared from a photograph with which Mr. McIntosh was good enough to favour us, will give some idea of the manner of their growth, and will show how exceedingly beautiful they become when thus planted in congenial homes.

No such scheme could be thought of for this country ; not that it would be unprofitable but that it would be impracticable; but it does not follow that we ought to sit with our hands folded, and make no effort to carry out a portion of the programme with such means as are within our reach. In this country we do not look for Govern- ment help for everything we want done ; it is by private effort and public combination that by a private individual—Sir JOHN SINCLAIR— that the statistical account of Scotland was com- pleted. It was by a private Society—the High- land Society—that the Agricultural Returns of returns that we want may be obtained likewise. We have three great societies which, by com- bined action, could easily carry out the task. There is the Royal Agricultural Society of England, the Highland Society, and our own Society. If these societies combined to issue circulars requesting information from each of their Fellows, a body of. important and reliable data could no doubt be obtained ; and if these societies undertook that task we do not think it would be too much to ask the Science and Art Department of Government to take the trouble and be at the expense of getting the returns when made properly tabulated. That depart- ment has Шә s shown its appreciation of the by. -and extending the collection of economic ento- Green.

The amount of such injury done in America is of course no criterion of what may be done here, but still it may be useful in suggesting to our minds a truer view of the magnitude and im- portance of the subject with which we are deal- ing. From the last report of the State Entomo- logist of Missouri it appears that he had attempted, by obtaining returns like those we recommend, to ascertain the pecuniary loss and damage to that State occasioned by two only of c mo ormidable) of the insects in Mountain locust ; and he gives the result for the year 1874 at 19,000,000 of dollars for the one— dollars is, 44,000,000, and 50,000,000 of (тогоо) for the other There the destruc- tion. ) | and the | oper feni the labour and attention required. in preference the be | espalier?-—à method not much known or prac sustained in Britain from the ravages of wire- beetle, and a host of other insect enemies were all added up, it would form a very respectable deduction from the annual produce of these islands ? With the view of remedy, the next item to be sought for is the agricultural condition of each district reported on—whether there are many hedges, whether the ground is well cleaned, what are the chief crops, and other points xia extend beyond the range of a man's own session, and concern rather the district of which it is The returns should also include any steps taken to conquer or prevent the spread of the insects, information whether the injury done has been total or partial, whether it is a new disease or an old-established sore, and whether (as has often been thecase when the mischief has been done) there has been time to diminish or repair theloss by taking another crop. Two or three schedules should be sent to each person, with an invitation to apply for more if needed, for each return should be confined to one insect. operation of the bodies that have been above referred to. If they do not approve or act upon the Committee's suggestion, it would be labour thrown away to prepare a schedule in advance if they do, the societies who may operate with them will of course wish to be con- sulted in its preparation.

Although not well spoken of by any, the Hooper Potato Com- petition has certainly done in ‘some ways, for it has holders of valuable vede to increase their stocks. To ráisers of seedlings it is also of considerable importance, for it will enable them to place their pro- liberal prizes they offered ; and, although those prizes have not been awarded for what they were offered, still the good the competition has done ought not in Eureka Potatos from i » of seed may Wm be termed a makeshift way, for kitchen garden here being a small one for the Lg gum of the house, I had not a plot of ground of sufficient size that I could devote entirely to the growth of them. I therefore deter- mined that they should in no way interfere with the arrangements I had made for the cropping of the ground, and by growing two crops at once, if my experiment with the Potatos failed, I should have no great loss to lament. I had a piece of ground, 84 feet by 32, that had previously been occupied with Cauliflowers, and on which I intended to grow Celery, and it occurred to me that Celery and Potatos would се — парй eene I put about six cartloads of charcoal eer ive rubbish, and old mortar, and a liberal dressing of manure from hotbeds.

And it is in a special way; for in no country is the Christmas festival. so generally and so heartily observed as it is among ourselves. There are people of a Scrooge-like turn of mind who affect to look. upon Christmastide as “ humbug,” and Christmas festivities as shams ; and yet—putting the religious side of the feast entirely out of the y i i many happy reunions and family ich only take place at this season he lie direct to such cynics, and show that dness is no poetical fiction but a rms common task” of the work-a-day world of this nineteenth century ; it is cheering to see from many little tokens that its observ- ance is on the increase upon us rather than on the decline. The item of Christmas cards alone, eems to be, is year by year assuming larger proportions, and must by this time X ranch of trade. Ther is really no limit to the variety which these little cards present, the conventional and im- possibly red-breasted robin, and the sprays of хеш. апі Mistleto, play quis secondary parts e аге selected—with dite appropriat as it seems to us—to convey the vier i er greetings appropriate to the season.

Christmas carols, again, have come into great prominence during the last twenty years. Previously to uc date the broadsides sold by itinerant vendors, and issuing: from Seven Dials, were almost the only representatives of this class of literature ; while now collections of Christmas carols may be counted by the dozen, and they have found their urches, where they often form an appropriate[?] and important feature in the Christmas services. The beautiful old story of the birth at th the attend- ant incidents nes angelic chorus, the * watch- ful sheph ings from the east, is an inexhausti i d theme for sofigs of this kind, which are none the less suitable or welcome on * | account of their simplici As to decorations, ачен ie church or m they become year by year elaborate ; although, so far as 5 the churches are modus wee differs in different cases, and ranges from the ^ чч aun it the don clerk and йозе: n NI | hended principle of thrusting а stem of Holly or Ivy into any hole which presents itself), to the elaborate wreathings and fl in every school of thought which takes note of Christmas Day, church decoration is looked on af a matter of course. There are not wanting clergy who inveigh against the custom as a relic of Paganism, or, at any rate, of Romanism ; but they can scarcely find it in their hearts to cast a gloom on the Christmas of their congregations by suppressing the display of evergreens. In the days of the i Margaret’s, Westminster, were fined for decorat- ing their church with Rosemary and Bays, and allowing preaching therein on New Year’s Day. Yet even if the custom of Christmas decorating be pagan in its origin there is no reason why it should not have been adopted by Christians, in accordance with the general and common- st Зы which нел ам соно of practices which in themse and jx vell beautiful. We see this анары to the requirements of the Ro а just м. the Established Church in this country has r many of th d customs of ie latter, in spite of the changes brought in at the Reformation. It is but the that there was no reason why the devil should have all the best tunes. he Holly finds a mention in many Christ- mas carols, both new and old, An instance of the latter is the familiar one оп the Harleian MSS., written in the reign of H VL, which is mainly in praise of the shrub d its 4 rrys as red as any йене. Even more quaint, and less generally n out Christmas books, is the traditional one which begins and ends with the verse— “The Holly and e 22 Now both are n well grown ; Of all the trees that are in the w wood rnc and has for chorus to each verse the lines— ** O the rising of the sun, he run: The sepia of the merry organ, S of the choir.” There is little doubt that the name of the tie is a corruption of holy, indeed it is so spelt by Turner and other of our early writers, and pro- bably owes its name to its employment at Christmas—a supposition which is borne out by the name Christdorn, by which it is known in Germany, as well as those. of Christorn, or Christtorn, by which it is called in Denmark and Sweden respectively. Among ourselves it is often called Christmas, and this reminds us gummiferum of New Sout named by the colonists Christmas tree, and employed by them in decorating their houses for "his festival. During. the last two or three years an addition has been e to our Christ- mas decorations in a shape of what is adver- tised as “ Wagga-Wagga Holly.” Tt will remembered that when Cuvier heard a lobster defined as “a scarlet fish that walks back- wards,” he said that the definition was perfectly correct, with three trifling exceptions :—Tst, it was not scarlet; 2d, it was not a fish; 3d, it did not walk backwards. We may adapt this witticism to the plant in question, inasmuch as it is not a Holly, and does not come from Wagga-Wagga. We must look nearer home 804 FAL GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE.

Liu escalas N abundance of Roots IN A HEALTHY COND n the successful cultiva- tion of plants, no matter what is the purpose for which they are grown. The existence of these food-absorbing organs in plenty is as t is to the monarch a the forest that has weathered the storms T a dozen generations, Suitability of climate, we know, has much to do with the development of vegetable life, but, no matter how favourable this may be, if roots do not exist in sufficient quantities, the powers of the plant are restricted. Although favoured by climate there is not a doubt that the gigantic Wellingtonias of the Yosemite Valley owe much more of their stupendous proportions to the immensity of their root-power, than they do to climatic influences. However healthy the root- lets may be, their individual feeding powers are limited. Thus we see that in soils which are of such a nature as induce the сака 32 amount of root. devel MEGA in any 3 dements of food in — gen the progress of the plant will be proportionate to the quantity of roots it has ; this is more appa- rent in quick-growing subjects, especially such as are deciduous, where a great amount of leaf is produced in a short space of time, as in the case of the Vine. In the cultivation of this fruit there is evi- dently at the present day, even amongst those who may be set down as highly successful in one thing all appear to be agreed—that is, the advantage to be derived from an unlimited quantity c of healthy feeding roots, To produce many and varied are themeansresorted to. Somefour y years ago we happened to see a device employed for increasing the roots of Vines as novel as it was -; the means resorted to was simply гоол at both ends by layering the extremities of the canes. This experiment was tried by Mr. ROCHFORD, market gardener, Page Green, Tottenham ; his is one of the large number of comparatively small places, consisting almost —— of glass erections devoted to the cultivati fruit plants to supply the ever increasing demands e Covent Garden market. Mr. ROCHFORD has been long known as a producer of very early Grapes, and also as a Pine grower—his name, as a successful exhi- bitor of the latter fruit at the principal London shows having often, as our readers are doubtless aware, appeared in the pages Chronicle. The houses wherein are grown the . Vines in question are three in number, span- . roofed, about 14 feet wide, and standing side by = о сны there are. а рар of her is no flier division between the hou linally except movable shutters ; ; the paths, which are not wider than are necessary to afford walking room, run down the centre of each house, and have a brick wall on either side to support the borders, which are about 23 feet above the level of the paths. planted on both sides of all three houses, suffi- ciently far apart to admit of their extending right across to the opposite eave, which in the case of all the houses is about 2 feet above the surface of the border. It will thus be seen that the roots of the Vines planted on one side of each house can extend without interruption to the centre path of the adjoining one, through the absence of side walls. They were planted in the spring of 1858, two houses with Black Hamburghs, and one with Muscats. In the autumn the whole were cut back to the ridge, forced, and bore a heavy crop, averaging 18 Ib. per Vine, the first of the Hamburghs being cut on May І. From this it will be seen that the Vines must have made good growths the first summer, otherwise they would not have had sufficient strength to such a prematurely forced heavy crop. The following year they were allowed to occupy the full width of the houses, and were cropped the whole length ; but before growth commenced the points of the shoots were taken down to the border on the opposite sides to which they were planted and layered, leaving a couple of eyes to each beyond the portion of the shoots covered with soil. These were allowed to grow through the season, and at pruning time were cut away altogether. By the end of the second season, after layering, they were as firmly rooted at the tops as at the base, and in a very short time were equal in thickness at both ends. To see what effect would be produced by the Vine being made dependent alone upon support from the roots formed at the extremity of the cane, one M them was severed above the collar eL end, virtually standing "a This was done at its was time t “put the experiment to the м severe test just when the crop was about half- grown—when, as all experienced Grape growers are aware, the swelling fruit requires a maximum of support. The result was that the fruit esc off perfectly, adding one more to the in merable evidences of the wonderful powers in vegetable life of adaptation to circumstances, and of the fact too. much overlooked by gar- deners, that the direction taken by the sap and. the nourishing fluid is not limited n to ascent or descent, as the case may be, but that the current may be in any SET, natos to circumstances—now in one now her— perhaps in different directions at us same time in different parts of the same plant Each season after the first year of planting the three houses were started at the beginning | of November, and cutting commenced with the Hamburghs about the second week in April, and Muscats before the middle of May. Four years ago last March we saw these Vines; the Ham- burghs were then fast colouring, a goodeven crop of moderate sized bunches—the Muscats equally promising, the foliage ample, clean, and healthy. As might be supposed from the early and con- tinuous forcing they had been subject to—com- menced whilst the Vines were so young—the canes had not attained nearly the thickness they would have done had they been worked more leisurely and allowed to get older before they ра been cropped. But one thing we remarked Pt more than usual strength | of the young wick A ompared with the principal canes. Evidently the double set of roots had enabled th, to The Vines are. two years ago, when they were taken out. The glass with which these houses are glazed is very small, only 6 inches square ; consequently they were dark, and better adapted for the growth of high prices — Grapes command, are found by many mar growers to pay better. New light houses, much more fitted for Grape growing, have been built; these were planted t summer, and so convinced double sets of roots, that, as soon have attained the necessary length, they will be layered in the same way as those we have noticed. — A CORRESPONDENT has bere us from m Isle of Man with some CURIOUS FLOWERS OF RHOD DENDRON ARBOREUM, The shoots are TAFA with a bloom-bud for next season's flowering period ; below it, in the axils of the leaves, are more or "^ mal- formed flowers, which occupy the place of the small leaf-buds usually found in that situation, It is diffi- cult to say what has induced a leaf-bud thus to assume the characters of a flower, but that it is probably due to season is shown by the fact that several instances of a like character have come ач our notice this year.
