A year has passed, and the pleasant task of passing in rapid review the best of the novelties of 1894 has come round, It is only whilst collecting and preparing the materials i plants which skill and enterprise have provided, become justly appreciated. For the introduc- tion of good plants likely to remain useful in gardens, the past year will compare favourably with any of its predecessors, and a pleasant feature about its work is that most favourite classes of plants seem to have been tolerably equally dealt with, while some temporarily- neglected subjects seem again to have obtained the attention they merit, Tue ORCHIDS, As usual of late years, Orchids have stood well to the front, and the novelties which have appeared are fairly divided between the plant- collector and the hybridist, the latter in point of numbers having perhaps the advantage; but the multiplication of garden crosses and hybrids has ing collections, and lending to the c er its flowers to raise new forms, which but for its introduction would not have Been obtainable. As in former rape afew stand prominently forward, and among these should specially be noted the remgiteatit emerald green and white Cypripedium: callosum Sandere of Messrs, F. Sander & Co., which was.a centre of attraction at the last Temple Show; the magnificent white and crimson Cattleya Warscewiczii “ Countess of Derby,” of Thos. Statter, Esq., of Manchester; and the fine Odontoglossum crispum; Baroness Schroder, of the Dell collection, and which is pro- bably the richést ecloured form of this species, and in place of the usual description of spotted forms of O. crispum, viz., Bie with coloured blotches, might be more co y said to be rich dark red, with slight — eee ening.

The first account of it is con- tained in the Gardeners’ ter for 1861 (p. 735), where it is alluded to as a new Japanese plant, intro- duced by Mr. R. Fortune, and shown at a meeting of Royal Horticultu val Society, when it was awarded a First-class Certificate. It was described as a broad- leaved Eurya, having its young foliage been known in collections under the names of Eurya latifolia variegata, and Cleyera gene oat varie- gatis, both of which must now be a That this shrub is no Eurya, and ke itisa en, is evident. But the known species of that genus are so very closely allied to one another that the estab- leaved shrubs from both courtries, on the cccasion of his last visit to the East, and the absence of any specimen of C. Fortunei in the rich herbarium of Japanese plants at Kew is suspicious, There e three recognised Asiatic species of Cleyera, y allied to C, Fortunei. Of these, two are ‘Indian (which may be regarded as varieties of one), viz., C. ochnacea, DC., a native of the Himalaya and Khasia Mountains, and C. grandiflora, — . f; and Thoms. (see Dyer, in FI. Brit. Ind., v. i., pp. 283, 284); the other is Japanese—C. japonica, * Sieb. and Zucc., which has by some botanists been regarded as a form of C. ochnacea. The chief difference between the Japanese and the Indian species is in the well- — venation of the leaves of the latter; the veins n C. japonica being very in the dried leaf. Both vary greatly in the flowers and leaves, and in the form of the figure of japonica Siebold’s owers very much eo Ti in the “ Sakaki” of pfer's Amenitates, of which Sir J.

The large-flowered form would appear, from the numerous specimens in the Kew Herbarium, to be the more common of the two, or there are examples of it from several parts of Japan, and from China and Formosa. C. Fortunei agrees with C. ochnacea and grandi- flora in the venation of the leaves, yir with the latter of these two in the size of the flowers, but aller than those re differs from both in the longer, narrower cone and their thinner tex racters that may be due to cultivation; and if the Himalayan species were to Japanese origin.

Warner, an American The Effect of agrioulturist attached to the m egetabies Massachusetts Experiment Sam in the United States, has making a series of very instructive experimenta one being used as a check. Around the test plot was con- a framework made of 2 by 4-inch tim- bers, on which were fastened porcelain insulators 4 inches apart; a continuous non-insulated copper wire was strung on these apeg insu- lators, and the whole structure w. uried so that the wire should be 2 ‘haa below the surface of the ground. Near at hand was a transformer, a small house in vee were placed switches, meters, voltmeter, ammeter, reducer, and resistance lamps, On the eighth of one nonth, Parsnips, , eto., were planted in both’ the plots the seeds in the Carrots, Parsnips, Salsafy, and early each | breakfast Radishes, all showed in the electric — a substantial increase in weight over n the non-electrified plot; but, on the other ad, German Turnips and Beets were better without the electric currents. Again, Strasburg Radishes, Purple-top White Globe Turnips and Parsnips all did better in the electric plot. It was noticed that one- third of a row of Parsley which had been accidentally placed in close contact with an electric wire grew more rapidly than the rest. Eight non-insulated wires were placed among the roots of three Tame plants of it Champion variety. A current of 39 am was used. The fruit on the plants thus — invariably ripened three to four days earlier than the fruit of other plants used as a check. It is interesting to nae the results of these experiments at Massachusetts with some of the results that have been obtained of recent years by field of electro-horticulture. France, found that Beetroot was much influenced for good by electric currents induced in the soil. Mr. Serr LRMSTRO, in Finland, and also in France, found that the following plants were favourably influenced by electricity :— Wheat, Barley, red and white Beet, Potatos, Beans, Strawberries, Rye, Oats, Parsnips, Celeriac, ; while, on the other the culture of Lettuces, &c., for ma winter, In this country, however, very little work has been done in a field which may yield very fertile results, Our County Councils seem to be taking up the subject of agricultural education, and to be looking after the wants of the farmer; it would be a good thing if they were to institute experiments on the influence of electricity on vegetable growth, in order that our horticulturists and market-gardeners may understand definitely whether electricity is likely to be of any service to them or not. Not a few investigators believe that we have at our dis- posal a new force which will in a measure render us independent of sunlight. Where natural power is available, an installation would require no very large outlay, and, mi from experience already ob arket-gardener would fi that + he was able to bring on his vegetables during the d ing rapidity. But we dinnat: tjet En lish gardeners to start a new line of business Baia only on the data supplied by foreign investi- gators working in another r con- ditions perhaps very dissimilar from their own. We want some practical results obtained at an English station, such as were obtained at Tun- bridge Wells by the late Sir WILLIAM SIEMENS, as recorded in our columns at the time, Elec- tricity can be useful to vegetable life in two ways; in the form of insulated systems of wires stretched over the fields, and in the form of the arc lamp in the greenhouse, It is not at all unlikely that in the future we may be able, by the aid of the light of the electric arc, to bring our vegetables, flowers, and tees to such a state of perfection as we have er realised before, E publication of the first part THE e of a Hand. list of trees and shrubs correctly named as practicable. The develop- ment of the Arboretum has been steadily pur- sued, under the ne direotion, so that the present instalment of the catal sents the results of many years is the more noteworthy from the comparatively little outside encouragement given to those who study this class of plants, and from the intrinsic difficulties and obstacles conn with it. We have often had occasion to deplore the lack of interest in ornamental trees and shrubs, a ciroumstance that of course leads to their elimination from our great nurseries; and yet, were a demand to arise for them, these in- teresting and beautiful subjects could, for the most part, be grown as easily, and at as cheap a rate, as the commoner stuff which fills the nurseries, and imparts needless monotony to our planta- tions, It is most important, then, that as full 3 collection as circumstances will allow, should be kept up in our national and university gardens, It is equally important that the nomenclature should be accurate. The attainment of this accuracy is an even more difficult matter than in the case of other plants, seeing that the trees and shrubs are usually received in a young state, and that in many cases years may elapse before the flowering, and still more the fruiting stage, requisite for verification, is arrived at, Again, there is not only the innate tendency to variation in spec phases of growth through which the individual itself passes. It sometimes happens, especially in certain Conifers, that these phases are numerous and persistent for a relatively long period. The consequence is, of course, an irruption of many names, and it may be years before those names are found all to apply to one and the same protean tree. which has been formed for use in the garden, will, from this point of view, be of inestimable i 190 71 in the future. A rough census of the plants gives twenty e the approximate number of species thousand as and varieties cultivated at Kew, and of these three thousand are hardy shrubs or trees. „which havenow only an historio interest, though they attained in their way a greater degree of completeness than has been attained since, it is im rtant 0 plants (1856), Aroids (1878), Bromeliaces (1879 , Yuceas, and Agaves (1880), economic — Plants (1881), Palms (1882), Primulas (1886), and Orchids (1891), Some of these have been issued separately, others in the Kew Bulletin It is greatly to be desired that they should ultimately be revised and issued in one volume.

In addition to the systematic enumeration, a very complete alphabetical list is given, which of itself would be very serviceable to gardeners.

The common Lime tree figures as Tilia platy- phyllos of Scopoli, with seven varieties, to say nothing of T. vulgaris of Hayne. The small-leaved Lime is entered as T. cordata of Miller. Over fifty varieties of the common Holly, with an appalling list of . are set forth.

They will assuredly feel that form of gratitude which is experienced in anticipation, and will earnestly hope that the remaining portion of so useful a list may not long be delayed.

W. H. S. FLORISTS’ FLOWERS. MARKET CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Ir is remarkable how the old Source d'Or, with its bright orange-buff flowers, still holds its own as a market variety. It is grown to an enormous extent because it is so attractive and so free, and on the whole, so well managed. It is one of those warm colours which attract the eye and allure the sense as the period of mid-winter is reached, when bright colours are need contrast to the prevailing dreariness without. It is said that W. H. Lincoln, the large vary Raabe variety, is being grown for market because of its bright colour, and is ex- pected t 3 hails as popu ular as Source d'Or. L. Canning (Craig, 1888), is also coming to the fore, and though originally classed as a mid-season variety, is proving valuable for late work. Lady Fitzwigram is proving an invaluable early Merten and appears me Desgranges and its varieties. It is 3 new, but rapidly its way into culture.

NHIS, the beautiful residence of Sir John Henry Johnson, is one of the oldest places in the county, It is e 1200 years since St. Osyth (oe Osgith) lived 115 06 and romantic i Colne. King of the Mercians—a good C dently, who assisted Erthemwald, then Bishop of London, in the founding of Chertsey Abbey in 666. From her childhood, St. Osyth’s life seems one of legend and romance. Her parents com- pelled her to marry Sigher, King of Essex; but immediately after the wedding the King was enticed forth to chase a white stag before the doors of the palace. St. Osyth embraced the opportunity, and fled, and took the husband, who loved her much, and deserved a better fate, 228 bestowed upon ber the town of Chi h, as it was then called, after- wards 5 as St. Osyth, in order to enable ari to maintain a nunnery for her residence. she lived with her companions in peace 2 — from Denmark approached St. Osyth. They did their utmost to oonvert her to their faith, and failing, the chief ordered her head to be struck off. And the legend is, that St. Osyth took up her head in her hands, and under angelic guidance ran to the church, which she had caused to be built near the nunnery, knocked at the door with her blood- staine hands, and then fell dead. Her tomb thence- forward became a healing shrine for all manner of diseases—and obviously proved a potent factor in the making of St. Osyth. Soon after the Norman Conquest, St. Osyth herself became prioress with large and various endowments, the priests and canons being men of ability and deserved influence, At the disso- lution of the monasteries the priory was at the height of its prosperity, and had an abbot, a prior, , besides mills, houses, and tithes in arish, — Its total revenue exceeded £680 per annum, a large income in those days, when a fat ox could be bought for twenty-four sh eae fat fowl for twopence-halfpenn; e dissolution a sae portion of = Priory buildings had been newly erected, , and the — a i fully surrendered to enry VIII. on Sane 28, 1539, an ater various toggle for are oe 38 THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE 7 : [January 12, 1895, session was sold by the King on June 1, 1553, for £3,974 9s. 43d., to Lord Darcy, Chamberlain of the King’s Household. The Priory, which had been a religious house for more than 400 years was forthwith transformed by its new owner into a nobleman’s country seat. Masons and car- penters were set to work, gardens and lawns laid out, and several of the trees in the park and gardens of to-day were probably planted at this period. This first lay proprietor of the Priory found favour with Queen Elizabeth, and twice in her royal progress through the county, viz., in July, 1561, and August, 1579, she honoured him with her presence at Osyth, staying two days on her first visit, and three in her last. The third Lord Darcy was created Viscount Colchester by James I., and Earl Rivers by Charles I. The Priory came into the family of Savage, in the county of Chester, through marriage of Lord Darcy’s eldest daughter, whom the king created Countess Rivers in her own right. During his residence here in 1642 a furious mob sacked the Priory, ripped off the tapestries, and stole all the plate and money in the house. The Priory re- mained in possession of the Earls of Rivers for seventy years, though they seldom lived in it. The last Earl Rivers died in 1712, and Parliament passed an Aot settling the Priory and its lands on his daughter, Bessy Savage, who married son, the fourth Earl, was a friend of George lI, and George III. George III. visited him at St. Osyth twice, and on one occasion presented the Earl with fine portraits of his Queen and himself in their coronation robes by Allan Ramsay, These pictures now hang in the great drawing-room of the Priory. For 140 years the Priory was held by the Earls of Rochford and Nassau, until it became the property of the two daughters of Mr. W. F. Nassau, on the death of that gentleman in 1857. Of them it was purchased by its present owner, Sir John W. Johnson, in 1863, Few proprietors could have more reverently preserved the spirit and fame of the past, while adapting the Priory to the comforts and convenience of modern life. Possibly, hardly a vestige of St. Osyth’s nunnery or church can be found, and compara- tively little of the first Priory, yet here on the old spot are to be found what was best in the old service and the old spirit, The first sight I saw in passing through the old gateway was a score or so of happy children from the East-end slums of London at dinner. These were the guests of the proprietor of the Priory, whose custom it is to ask them down in battalions throughout the summer, and to give them the free run of his parks and pleasure grounds, and free bed and board until their bleached faces rejoice and blossom as the Rose, On similar generous prin- 6d. per head, the proceeds going to the resto- ration of the church, which sadly needs repairing. show is also held in the Priory grounds, From the Abbot’s Tower a fine view of the surrounding grounds, gardens, parks, woods, and surrounding country is obtained. To the north, far away to the south extends the green kian of the St. Osyth marshes, fading into the wide open sea, while to the west lie the estuaries of the Rivers Blackwater and Colne, the low ridge of Musea Island, and the group of masts in the busy harbour of Brightlingsea. The Priory is entered through the great gate- way from the northern side of the village green, here called The Bury, a name unique, so far as I am aware, for a public ground. Can it have originated in the fact that The Bury was the meeting place for parish councils in the old times, or from the fact that it is so close to the church, or churchyard? or was it the dust-bin of primitive ages, or the place for burying valued treasures in troublesome times? The Priory is 400 years old, but little injured by the tooth of 3 4 eg £ e. Į filled with the figures of St. Osyth, St. Peter, and St. Paul, to whom the church is dedicated. In the groined roof of the rich architecture may be traced the head of the saint, the white stag (al- ready referred to), the heads of kings, monks, bishops, and various symbolic devices. The mon- astery was rebuilt in the reign of Henry VII, The well-kept richly-furnished lawn extending from the gateway to the front of the present mansion, But little of this now remains, though some of the buildings near the Clock-tower, the chapel, and the fine chimneys of the Tudor period demand mention. Special notice should be taken of the great window of the present building that forms the great drawing-room. It was built by John Vintner in 1527, the last abbot but one and richly adorned inside and out with the coats of arms of the Bishop of London and other bene- factors, together with his usual device and initials a bunch of Grapes, a tun of wine, and J. V. : this was before the era of lasshouses, it almost proves to demonstration that at St. Osyth in these times Grapes were ripened fit to eat, and Wine made in plenty from home-grown Grapes from the open and from walls, ae On other sides the present Priory is supportet by lawns, large and fine kitchen gardens, remark. ably well furnished and cultivated, the stabl part of the old buildings, &o. clothed chiefly with Roses, link between the past an Priory gardens of to-day cover about 10 acres, six of which are kitchen gardens, well furnisha with collections of fruits and vegetables, most of which did well last season. Good collections of Apples, Pears, and Plums are grown, the Apple being almost equal to those of the two latter, a trinity of successes somewhat rare last year, Raspberries were also exceptionally fine special variety, something like the Norwich wn.

I have noted this also in other places, so that now it might almost be accepted as an axiom that the surest antidote to the crack- ing of the Madresfield Court Grape, is to grow it in pots Two very large Fig trees clothe an enormous area of the walls of the Priory, they are supposed to be about 300 years old, and seldom miss a crop; they used to be covered with glass, and warmed by a 3 of which some traces still remain. But for many years the glass and arti- ficial heat have disappeared, though the trees are carefully cultivated and protected in winter; they are in robust health and covered with fruit. The varieties are different, one being probably the Brunswick, and the other the brown Turkey. There is also a Mulberry-tree, much older than the Figs, and which bears enormous crops every year. The lawns and pleasure grounds are well furnished with trees and shrubs, flower-beds, her- baceous borders, &c., fine collections of the latter being grown, A very fine Tulip-tree of great age and height is found here, also one of the oldest Acacias in the kingdom, said to be the oldest but one in England ; also Lombardy Poplars, bought and planted by Lord Rochford from France sheet he was Ambas- sador in the time of Queen Ann The park, which is well clothed with Oaks, Limes, &c., above, and bracken below, covers 323 acres, and here the East-end London children have swings and other amusements, and two days a week they are also taken in batches in carriages to the beach. Surely the best spirit of St. Osyth still lives in the present owner of the Priory, and his joys must be multiplied by twenty-five through every fresh batch of waifs and strays that he invites to share his pleasures with him R SHOWING ORIEL WINDOW, (SEE P, 37.)

From the last number i the Kew Bulletin (p. 402), recently issued, we learn that Mr. W. MACKIE, gardener to Mrs. Rupprx, The Mythe Castle, Tewkesbury, has the honour of being the first to flower this magnificent tropical climber in Europe. So glowing was the account given by our lam ented friend, the late Dr. WELWITSCH, its discoverer, so suggestive the figure by Firon, in the Transactions of the Linnean Society (xx tab. 36), that plant-lovers have been on the alert ever since, eagerness being kept alive by the annua iaa. of an illustration in Mr, Burr's nsia has flowered the more. In oy meanwhile. i 5 our congratulations ‘number Tux discussion that has arisen in our columns with reference to this Institution will have one good effect at once, and may be pro- ductive of even more advantage in the future. Gardeners reading the whole correspondence will see once more how deserving the Institution is of their support, how well the committee do their duty, and how well the society is adminis- tered. They will know, too, how pr rodigal of their time, how liberal with their means, have been the officers of the society, and in this con- nection, we do not know why we may not single out the Treasurer in particular, as it is to his influence, industry, and generosity, to a large extent, that the society is in as good a position as it is. What then are the grounds of com- plaint? As far as we make out, they amount to a suspicion of want of due care on the part of the committee in ascertaining the qualifications of candidates, or rather of one candidate in par- ticular, and to a scarcely-veiled charge of undue influence or favouritism. As to the first point, we think the committee has abundantly cleared itself, Some candidates may be more worthy, others less so, but there can be no question that every one of them is deserving assistance. In making up the list of candidates, the committee has adhered strictly to the rules laid down for their guidance, and if justice is not done, the fault is that of the voters, not of the committee. As to the charge of undue influence, it is only to be wished that many more subscribers would put themselves into a position to exert this kind of undue influence! It is only natural that, The Gardeners’ 0- lent Institution. under 5 ee ire of voting, those who -con oul most largely should have the largest chee votes, and exert, if they choose to do 80, a predominating influent, This brings us to the erux of the whole matter -—the system of voting. The present system entails an enormous amount of trouble, expense, and anxiety on the candidates and their friends, This is objectionable because it is unnecessary. It is even more so because the candidates who succeed are not necessarily, as they ought to be, the most dese but very often those whose friends are most influential, and who can secure for their protégés the largest number of votes, Selfish rather than philanthropic considera- tions actuate most voters, Mr. not weigh the merits of the several candidates, but ifhe sees the name ag an old servant on the list, or of any one in m he is specially interested, he j — his vote for him or her, and endeavours to induce all his friends to do the same, Mr. A. does all this to get a return for his money, and without the least notion that he is possibly committing an injustice against some other more worthy candidate. e have even heard of some who have nikiona for a few 5 758 with the ob’ect of getting their candidates elected, and having done so they have forthwith retired from the Society. any of thosé who have to administer the Society recognise these evils, but the ey fear that any attempt to alter them would be ex- tremely prejudicial, and, therefore, as prac- tical ob ey afer: to main tain the present s principle, are to some extent counterbalanced by e committee of selection, by whose scrutiny it CHRONICLE.

The advice given is sound, practical, and above all things else, easy to under- stand and follow, and in these respects it is of much more real use than many expensive guides. Messrs. Dobbie & Co., the celebrated Rothesay Seeds- men, are the publishers.“ One of the most successful profes- sional Gardeners in England says of it:—‘‘ Messrs.

It is a most trustworthy Guide to the culture of Flowers and Vegetables.” An amateur of long standing writes: — “Your Catalogue is of great service.

GARDENIN 3 IN NORTHERN USSIA, HEN we je the Arctic Circle, and approach Russia from its northernmost European port, we can hardly expect to see much of horticultural interest, To any one, however, interested as I am in the history of our English gardens, the voyage round the coast of Norway to Archangel, and the brief sojourn there, which 1 had the advantage of making last added enjoyment of association, Eor it was by this route that John Tradescant e Elder, the first botanist to visit e sailed n 1618 each Archangel; whilst in the Windward in 1894, though we had contrary winds, we accomplished the whole distance in nineteen days. Tradescant acoordingl Archangel from July 16 to August 5 (Old Style), whilst my stay in the 8 occupied the first half of August. He, however, seems to have sailed round the North Cape, whilst we Kit in- side the fiords, within a short distance of the shore, from Christiansund to Honnings Vaag on Mager O6 We made but little close acquaintance with Norwegian gardens; but were struck by the spring-like verdure of the scanty: pasturage, and the height to which vegetation of some sort extended up the granitic mountains of the coast-line. In places where a foregound of long bents and ling were all we could distinguish from the deck, close-growing Juniper on the lower slopes passed into straight-growing, well-thinned groves of Pine at higher levels, relieved by occasional silver Birches. As we approached Tromsoé we saw many good crops of hay being harvested or drying on lines, and some consider- able patches of Barley and Potatos, The latter were in full flower, 2 though green and l a poverty ue which certainly was — “of ‘Northern bourhood of a distant view of the ae eros ‘hi 31st, the woods of f Fir Ry Birch od es À disti shores of the ‘wide mouth of the Pein i came in sight.

P. oppositifolia is more disposed to make stronger shoots, but fewer of them; therefore, when framing a plant of this species, it is better to tie down these strong shoots. Afterwards, by careful attention in stopping the stronger ones whilst still soft and sappy, there need not be any difficulty to maintain a well-balanced plant. I have seen this latter kind heated as a semi-climber, but I do not admire the plan. I see no reason, however, why it should not be trained to cover walls, x up pill I consider these two species to bə t purposes ; they are other, differing n more in the sh form of P. myrtifolia.

I tried to bafils this in all sorts of ways—various forms of revolying-cow!], &c,—but in vain; until one day, standing in the fernery, the door of which open- ing outward was shut, I noticed to my intense the heating apparatus hermetically inside, and made the inlet outside, no air could possibly blow down the fine, damp out the gas, and poison the plants, because the same pressure was simultaneously applied at both ends, i.e., the inlets and outlets, I therefore had the thing reconstructed, and after that I had only to turn on the gas when frost sets in, turn it out when it was not needed, and pay the bill. Unfortunately, I cannot give definite data on this last point, as no separate meter was kept, but with a good atmospheric burner a little gas goes a very long way, and in my opinior, its reliability and freedom from trouble fully redeem any little extra coat involved.

Such injuries sit all pw plantations are liable to on estates where game is preserved to even a slight er only. are many estates, it is true, on which rabbits n served, the rabbit usually succeeds in pa hg himself on a permanent footing, thanks en parative quietness o waged by gamekeepers against atoats and weasels, In all planting operations on game preserving s, protection from ground- me is consequently aP the first importance. The ordinary method of providing this protection is by ire-netting round the area to be planted, With netting of suficient width and smallness of mesh, and properly fixed in the ground, it proves sufficiently effective for areas of a few acres in extent, so long as the rabbits are kept within reasonable numbers. But where they are allowed to increase unchecked for any length of time, no fence with which we are acquainted is absolutely impassable by them, or succeeds in keeping them out of a piece of ground of any size, Like schoolboys, they manage to affact an or other, either by burrowing beneath or climbing over like cats, while holes in the netting make their places in which the netting cannot be properly placed in position, The great disadvantage con- nected with wire netting, however, is its cost acre of nd cannot be netted round for less iia £4, even when we only allow 4d. per yard for netting and labour, which is probably 2d. less than the average cost, ith a large area, the cost per acre could be reduced, but much would depend upon the shape of the ground. It may also be taken into con- sideration that the netting may do service for more than one piece of plantation. After, say, five years’ use, however, we usually find that the best netting eciated has depr 50 per cent. in value at the very least, unless special care has ‘been exercised in ing during erection and removal. Under such circumstances, 3 the use of netting in economic fi mes absolutely prohibitive, and we only find it . where game is considered neg deggie aim in view, and trees merely as the means end, Several mixtures or tree compositions — are offered by the trade share the same dra w- back as netting, Their initial application is less costly, perhaps, but anything gained in this way is lost by their r temporary efficiency, and — cannot be successfully a applied to small plants of less than a foot in height, With the above facts before us, we are forced to ink H 8 : planting practi- cal il men know this only | too we, bnt fe + from the occas perm favour benighted Albion with bn erg whose opinions on British h forestry are seized 8 daily press as gems of erudition, the fact is not so patent to everyone. We do not assert for one moment that sport and good forestry are un- planted woods ct of ground-game during the Ta five or estate; that all or the majority of young woods lay close together, it would be possible to keep down rabbits in this vicinity without interfering with other portions of the estate. The absence of ground-game on, say, one-tenth of the total wooded area, would not be a great loss on an estate of average size, while it would permit replanting to be effected at one- third of the usual cost, and give far better results than is usual at present. 4, C.

He was a prince among gardeners, of stately mien, and of great tact, using his influence at all times for the advancement of gardeners and gardening, He was a man of strong common- sense, thoroughly practical in all his ways and his teachings, so that we have had a brood of gardeners hailing from Dalkeith that has well maintained the prestige of that practical school of learning. His influence did much to raise the importance of the Edinburgh Horticultural Society to begin with, as well as the Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society. His figure was to be seen at all the great shows, and he could take his place either at the head or foot of the luncheon-table with the most influential of associates, and with becoming dignity plead for the success of the cause to which, during a long life-time, he was indissolubly wedded. is life-long friends Marnock and TURNBULL have preceded him.

CRÉPIN gives a lo paper on the occurrence and appearances of hybrids among the species of Rose. To those who desire to gain a knowledge of the mor- phology of Roses, and the relative importance of their distinguishing characteristics, this treatise will be very valuable, Indeed, we should go further, and say that a judge at a Rose show would be all the better equipped for his work if he were well grounded in the principles laid down by M. Crupry, and his eye well trained to recognise and estimate the variations he may meet with. This may seem chimerical, but with the practical training now given under th auspioes of some of our County Councils, it is not 80 unlikely to be realised as at first it may seem. 3 by «ome will probably in the future 6 a great extension, and the significa: the “ points” better appreciated laa. om We have never yet met a judge who could give the correct explanation of a divided Rose or of the quartering ” of oses, or could explain the mode of doubling in Roses generally, and yet these matters should be the very foundations of b ng.

Rosa Hardii, Cels, a hybrid between R. e phylla and R. berberifolia, Pallas, must be sidered a bigeneric hybrid, if, as M.

January 19, 1895.] THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE. 77 furnished by the microscopist, are the more needed, in view of the opinions put forth by M. CREPTN. The great majority of botanists, in his opinion, possess only a very incomplete knowledge of species, and are often incapable of he knowledge of hybrids is thus, says M. Criprn, scarcely to be obtained by any but monographers of long experience, Botanists of the old school indeed were very e phenomenon when the conditions are favourable. Incidentally, we are pleased to see so experi- enced a practical botanist, and so untiring a monographer as M. CRHPIN, raising his protest against that exaggerated application of the law of priority, which is causing such totally un- necesary confusion. Rosa alpina of Linnmus is, it appears, to be called R. pendulina, Rosa indica is to be known as R. chinensis Jacquin, and so on. “At the present day,” says M. CRÉPIN, “ out of respect to certain more or less arbitrary rules concerning the right of priority, it has become the fashion to disinter ancient generic and specific names, which were completely for- gotten, or which are obsoure and enigmatical, and thus to upset the recognised synonymy with- out any advantage to science.... In presence of the enormous amount of work still requisite to enable us to attain a thorough knowledge of plants, it is deplorable to see industrious men of against the invasion of this parasitic science of old books and orthographic rules which more and more obstruct the course of true scientific work.” This expression of opinion from so qualified a Botany is not for the glorification of presen workers, nor for the canonisation of those that are past. It is for the advancement of the knowledge of all that concerns the life and attributes of the vegetable kingdom. Those who wantonly put obstacles in the way incur a very heavy responsibility, ACKET of literature from the Sooiety is before us, including the rt of the council for 1894, the first part a the eighteenth volume of the journal, and the prospectus of the arrangements for the present year. It is impossible for us to deal with all these publications at the present moment, It must suffice for the time to repro- duce the arrangements for the meetings and lectures, The most noticeable thing is the entire omission of Chiswick from the programme, W. now the circumstances which have probably led to this result, but we can but deplore the resolu- tion of the council, especially at a time when Chiswick within its narrowed limits, has been rendered more efficient than for many years past.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1895, LONDON ee AND THEIR REATMENT. . 3 of possessing a few trees in our streets is sadly marred the vehicular traffic, the necessary light for the houses, or the due circulation of air. exaggeration is indulged in about the health- giving properties of trees, for when we consider that deciduous trees can only absorb carbonic acid and give out oxygen gases from the air during their period of leaf-growth, say for six months in the year, our comparatively few town- trees must be but poor sanitary agencies. There should be very good grounds indeed for their retention, either as pruned or un- runed trees, when they interfere with the much more important benefits derived from the free species planted. Everyone, we think, will agree with us, that a line of trees, say of the Oriental Plane, planted on each side of a street of 60 feet n width between the houses, with a space 2 — tree to tree in the lines of ten yards will in the course of ten or fifteen years have become so large in the crown, as to rob the dwellings on of of air around the houses and the tion of moisture from the street surface an ront gardens. We are led to make these remarks by having had two flagrant cases of mutilation of street trees in Fulham brought our notice recently. The roads are arclay and Auriol, the er at Walham Green, the latter at West Kensington, and the trees are Oriental Planes, which, as is well known, attain to very large dimensions in this country. Thes ese trees must have begun some few years ago to darken the lower rooms of the houses, the majority of which are of two and three doriai in height, and have rooms in the basements. rsons who were employed by the tree-pruning is based, for branches have been most severely cut back, and 100 hoot, which should not have been shortened or touched in any way. By doing this to every leading branch the heads would have been * reduced in diameter, whilst their natural oon tour would not have been spoiled. Moreover, all peo of such a size as to render the use of the slanting-wise, or and the larger aes should be painted of a slate- colour re the roots of very vigorous street trees e arcessible without incurring the cost of dis- piecing any of the pavement, as is sometimes the case in the suburbs of towns, some amount of root-pruning might be practised, taking great care not to cut the tap or chief anchoring roots in carrying out this work. Where large-growing trees are planted thickly, say, at 30 or fewer feet apart, rather than prune severely at intervals of five or six years, it would be advisable to remove each alternate tree, and be content with a curtailment of the length of the stronger branches, removing inter- acing ones, and the thin spray from the interior of the crown. his last-mentioned kind of treatment of the crown is the one now pretty generally adopted by the gardeners of the London County Council, and examples of it may be seen at Eelbrook Common in the parish of Fulham, and elsewhere.

From a commercial point of view, the culture of 3 is nearly as important as that of Aspa- ra The experience of forty successful years is available as testimony to the economic importance of this crop in the neighbourhood of large towns.

The quantity of rain which falls annually is ordinarily amply sufficient for the necessities of the fruit, which never receives artificial watering. The planta- tions usually last three years, and give two full crops preceded by one half one. Planting is done in April or in September, according to weather and circumstances, and the plantation is destroyed after the third crop. The qualities which a strain of Strawberries should possess before it is adopted by growers are numerous. First of all, earliness is needfal, as this ensures a high sale price at the beginning of the season ; robustn enduring transport, which enables the crop to be sent to market absolutely fresh. About half-a- dozen varieties share the favour of the growers in the environs of Paris, and can be recom ott for cultivation in the open ground.

Tun question of the tariff has agitated the horti- cultural rages of this country. Certain plants le to duty, while others are entered free, according to the chief use to which t are put; at least, that is the idea which underlies the matter. The Tariff bill of 1894 practically reversed the duty on the classes from what it was under the previous There had been many appeals as to th of the Customs House, and under the new The matter was h a view to shedding Habe on it, oe fen York Florists’ Club appointed a committe attend to the matter.

It is a lesson to all corporations to adopt working by the piece, in this instance at say 24d, per square yard, thus enabling handy-men to ear something like a fair day’s wage, and an inducement to unhandy men to work deftly. As to the planting itself, it was let out by con- tract, the Messrs. Robson and the Messrs. Fell, both Hexham firms, having slices of it to do in nearly equal proportions. The principal trees are the Great Maple, commonly called Sycamore, and the Lime. These are larger in size, and are meant to form a sort of double avenue as the visitor or traveller walks or trams from Newcastle to Gosforth. These being the chief trees, they are stayed in triangular fashion with galvanised wire attached to posts driven into the ground, and wrapped round the bole of the tree itself, forming, of course, the apex of the triangle, The wires, instead of being attached to a piece of cloth, as in the ordinary way, are clip in through half-inch diameter india-ru tubing.

EXHIBITING ROSES. 1 is the dead season in tbe Rose garden speak metaphorically, because as King Frost has not laid his icy grip on our Roses as in some recent years, I hope and believe that there are few deaths amongst them ; and as we are now drawing to the close of the first month in the year, always a most trying one, whether to man although a the past week we have had both snow and fro At such a pee various topics which have found no place during the busy months of the year, crop up—just as when the dead social season arrives, the Big Gooseberry, or some equally important subject, is started in the daily papers, and correspondents take up the cue, and fill columns with a subject no one cares penny about. Amongst the subjects connected with the Rose which is sure to assert itself in e form or another, is that of the method of exhibiting the flowers. We see tirades against the formality, and the result has always been a failure ? Ep.]. Weare sometimes asked why we do not take a lesson from our neighbours across 8 Well, I have seen Rose exhibitions the exhibitor even in his novitiate would set up with us, But as the method of exhibiting Roses seems to be a subject with interest to many, I venture to put forward a few remarks on it, even although some of them may appear heretical to many growers, First of all, let me ask what is the object of the Rose exhibition—is it not primarily to see the best? that is, the largest, brightest, and most beautifully-formed of the many lovely varieties of this beautiful flower. We want to see them in all their beauty, to be able to look at present one? Wecan hibited in Mr. Foster’s tubes), do this easily in the present style of boxes; we can see easily whether rules have been broken, foliage added, or any tricks played with the flower, and I know of no other mode of exhibiting in which it can be so effectually done. I have seen them ex- hibited in baskets crowded with ym foliage and moss from whence it would have been diffi- cult to take out a flower for the purpose ei examination, or to see whether there had bee any underhand dealings wit it. If Rn 132 we are to have Roses, Ko., exhibited so that we can see them to the best advantage, I do not think there is any p'an that can affect this object so well as the present style of exhibiting, formal though it be. But then it will be said, this may be all very well for those who are exhibitors, but the general public do not care for it. But does the general publio care much for perfection in any of these things? The general public go to a cattle show or a poultry show, and their presence is very of stock feeding or poultry breeding? and after all it is the experts, or would be experts, who form the back-bone of all such pursuits. But, again, there is one point on which I hold a somewhat anomalous, or, as some would say, contradictory opinion, viz., that the exhibition Rose is one which does not lend itself readily to t of decoration. Take half-a-dozen exhibition blooms of Marie Baumann, of Mer- veille de Lyon, and Gabrielle Luizet, put them into the hands of the most expert decorator, give him or her a vase of any shape or character you like, and I think it will be a puzzle to them to arrange them effectively. I think the same may be said of all these regular double flowers; we cannot so utilize the double Dahlia, or the inourved Chrysanthemum, or the various double forms of Aster. With regard to the Chrysanthe- mum, I did not see in any of the stands set up for decorative purposes at the Aqaarium a single incurvedflower, They were all Japanese, rough and irregular, and much better suited for this purpose the present method of exhibiting exhibition varieties is not likely to be improved upon, I think we must look in other directions for the purpose of giving variety to our shows, It has been asked by some of your contemporaries why does not the National Rose Society take this matter up? has done so for a great many years, and prizes were formerly offered for stands, vases, or baskets of Roses, but the result was most disappointing, never more than three that some exhibitors had an advantage in consequence of the receptacle used for their G. Paul certain space with a decorative adopted at all three exhibitions, was not so satisfactory as was ga enough, at Halifax, from was wed, no one appeared t aoa. , p o compe THE GARDENERS’ There is one drawback in connection with the exhibition of garden Roses at both the metro- politan and northern shows, viz, that with many of them their time for flowering 1s gone by. Itis very difficult to catch such lovely flowers as the Austrian Copper, the Austrian Yellow, Macrantha, and others of the sin gle-flower species after June, except perhaps in some cold district or in some very backward season ; and as the Society has its members in all parts of the kingdom, they have the opportunity of making use of their advantages, There is another thing to be considered, and one of considerable weight with small amateurs, and that is the difficulty of transport; first, they are cumbersome and take up considerable room, as they must be cut long, while if they are laid down in the boxes and exposed to the tender mercies of railway porters, a considerable number of the flowers will be shattered before they arrive at their destination. To the owners of big battalions and long purses this may be a matter of indifference, but it does deter smaller men, and if an exhibitor has, beside his garden Roses, stands of exhibi- tion flowers to look after, he will find his difficulties very much increased, now some- thing of what it is in exhibiting Gladioli, and oan, therefore, quite understand the amateur’s difficulties. Rose Society may give still more encouragement to the decorative side of the subject, especially to amateurs. Although I suspect that no great originality will be developed, what are called the old Garden Roses, such as Blairii No, 2, Paul Ricaut, Paul Perras, Chénédolé, Juno, and others of a similar character, will not be of much use for this object A movement has now been inaugurated by the Royal Horticultural Society for drawing up suggestions for judges, and I know of nothing more likely to embarrass judges at the Rose show than having the flowers mixed up together—the present system of showing them in green boxes is one which no judge would like to see abolished. How could he possibly judge by points unless the flowers were put plainly before him, and were easy to beexamined? Sothat on the whole my verdict would be, do not meddle with the present arrangement as far as exhibition-flowers are concerned, but do what you please with the non-exhibition varieties.

I am not an advocate for the let-alone system; but in the case of standard trees, it is useless to cut severely whilst allowing the roots to have full play, the result being a forest of leafy shoots which do not ripen, and are too wea to produce fruit, I once had an orchard of trees which were of good age, and before I took charge of them they had been topped, and in some opisz piga to 15 feet of wood had been cut away, sites 8 pre- sented a shaven appearance, spacers hose a aded for grafting; but as the maha were good, intended to 8 fruitfuln having ecome so crow strong e e were need here was a poor prospect of frui some time, and every prospect of canker.

CORR D 1 ING WEEK, DEDUCED FROM THE OBSERVATIONS OF FORTY- YEARS, AT CHISWICK.—39°.2, Tax proposal to form a Cactus 1 Society, mooted in July last at the Royal Horticultural Society, is taking sha Tis promoters say that C growers ae as much right to a society of their own as the growers and fanciers of Roses, Dahlias, Chrysanthemums, Tulips, or Carnations, k tained a superb collection of these, and the Sucoulent-house has, for the real lover of plants, an interest not inferior to, and, in some respects, considerably superior to, that of any other ent y our famous garden. As C and like plants are of necessity Poorly repre- sented in the herbarium, it is the more eg to grow as many tative specimens Possible in order that something may be 3 THE GARDENERS’ ot only to show which are the most worthy of oultivation for their beauty or interest, but also in order that some clue may be fur nished for the disentanglement of the appallingly confused nomenclature, The difficulty, and, in some cases, the impossibility; of securing specimens for pre- servation and reference, is at the root of this 2 confusion that may in part, as have said, be removed the sa of these plants under cultivation. Specialisation, decentralisation, and division of labour are characteristic of the age in which we are living and working, and of course there is much to be said in favour of these procedures. But we think it will be universally admitted that a man should be a gardener or a botanist first, ia a specialist When he has obtained a ge grasp of the principles of his art or of his science, then, and not till then, can he specialise with advantage. It is this feeling that makes us lament the undue multiplication of special societies, and the frittering away of energy and the waste of money that they entail. If the object is purely a mercantile one, or if it is one only to gratify individual tastes and fancies, to provide recreation, and satisfy the love of sport and the interest in a fair fight, which are said to be innate in Englishmen, then there is nothing more to be said. If people like to com- bine the more effectually to carry out their desires in these directions, by all means Jet them do so. But most if not all these societies at least profess higher, more useful, and less selfish aims—-aims akin to those that actuate the leading society of the nation. We would, there- fore, suggest to the promoters of the Cactus Society, if they have really the higher aims they profess, that they should avail themselves of the organisation of the Royal Horticultural Society, rather than form one more society, The relation of the special societies to the Royal Horticultural Society should be like that of the colonies tothe home country.

[Feprvary 2, 1895, On obtaini Tus subject, to which we have Hybrids w already referred, but which afting. worthy of more extended notice, was among the last communications presented to the French Académie des Sciences, by Professor DucHARTRE, whose death Horticulture has re- cently had to deplore; and one M. Lucey DANIEL relating to the creation of new varieties by means of the graft Is it possible, asks M. DANIEL, to obtain ney grafted plants? he answers that, although the subject is an old one, no precise or satisfactory explanation has yet been given, owing perhaps to the fact that it has been investigated mainly in connection with trees, the growth of whos eeds into mature plants takes so long that human life is almost too short to permit the deduction of conclusive results, making experiments on annuals and biennials, and grafting various alimentary plants, M. Dante has shown that the period neces- sary for the due observation of the effect of grafting may be so shortened that it is possible to obtain results, as well from a practical as from a theoretical point of view, which are of the highest importance to Horticulture, A detailed account of his investigations are contained in the Comptes Rendus, where it is stated that the problem presents three solt- tions :—(1) The young plant grown from sed produced by grafted individuals may tend to revert to the wild type, in which case no useful practical results would follow ; or (2), the young, plant may retain the anoostral characters of the E by other means; or (3), the scion—alte form and Savour by a more or less leng t those which wo normal concise ties endow its se new qualities which will themselves bo trant mitted to the offspring. 7 A new field of research would in this anid open to horticulturists, viz. ” the possi of creating varied types eee qualities derived both from the scion and from the stock. be n n names of * M.

They have acquired their practical knowledge in the only school in which it be obtained—that of practical experience; and, so far as they have at all sup- plemented this practical knowledge by learning the scientific principles that underlie its rules of OF the intervals of a busy life. 3 be borne in mind that in the case of many such gardeners, the primary school in question was across the Bor It would, on the other hand, we may safely say, be impossible to find one of these self-taught eminence who does not regret that he had not greater educational facilities in his Fac aici y only to a future ge tion ; but it is well worth while to consider whit practical steps might be taken in this direction at the present time. In doing so, we ought to bear in mind the ———— of those who have already started in their career, as well as of those who have their time before them. What seems to be eens is, firstly, a sound radimentary training in“ the three R.’s,” necessary for all children alike, which t need not occupy them beyond their ninth year; secondly, continuation schools, in which a certain degree of specialisation is desir- able, which should occupy all a boy’s time until he is thirteen, fourteen, or ever fifteen; and thirdly, a systematic curriculum of classes which can be attended by any after those ages, whilst engaged in practical work, Tue Primary Schnoor.

It is not necessary that he oun called compound addition, aides & cation and division, and perhaps also the elements of book-keeping. Desirable as it is that every good citizen should know something of the history of his country, it is far more important for the budding horticulturist to get a good knowledge of geography. If this subject be well taught, he should get a clear grasp of the i ntries of th world, and of the general features of their vegeta- i nothing nee — trade outer, and merely political m again, though 3 an Se, ee = French nor German, and ati ss Gree essential, it is at least highly ae that i 3 learn some Latin, considering the large part that language still . in matters botanical. So, though he need or expensive to introduce into any school curriculum, though it may at present be necessary in some cases in these subjects, and in some of those yet to be mentioned, to supplement the wide powers of our primary school teachers by some kind of peripatetic specialists, value, 5 is now agreed by authorities that, e an exposition of Connected general ot teats of various departante ts of science.

It is, of course, desirable for a gardener to acquire as full and detailed a knowledge of this science in all its branches, as his circumstances permit. A gardener must, in fact, necessarily be a career. The importance that every step in his advaneing knowledge ot this scientific basis of his life's work should be planted firmly on the sure basis of fact—in other words, that his botanical training should be n practical, gained from the study of plants rather than, or at least before, the study of books. Here comes in, with far greater force than in the question of elementary biology, the advantage of country training over that in towns. s difficult to maintain strict class- discipline in the open air, and it is important in no way to repel the young student from the scientific aspect of his work, For these reasons I strongly incline to the lan adopted with such signal success by the late Professor J. S. Henslow at Hitcham, of making botany an out-of-school or recreation study—at least, at the outset, I have found it possible to teach many of the dis- tinctive characters of leaves and flowers to children of five or six years old; but, judging from some o the Hitcham specimens given me by the Rev. George Henslow, most of his father’s pupils who actually collected, preserved, and named plants, were about eleven or twelve, Between this age and the time of leaving school an immense amount of valuable information on plant life, on the relations of plants to soil and to animals, and on the characters used in discriminating plan n be imparted by a competent and enthusiastic seedings G.

ODONTOGLOssUM CRISPUM, Wuite’s VARIETY, A flower of this very beautiful blotched form of O. erispum comes from R. Brooman-White, Esq., Arddarroch, Garelochead, N. B. (grower, Mr. G. Roberts). It is said to be the best of many spotted forms which appeared out of an importation made by r. Brooman White, The flower is of good shape, the white very clear, and on each sepal are three or four large purplish-chocolate blotches, The petals have the inner halves almost covered with several large purplish blotches run together. It is of the O. e. apiatum class, but at present its flowers are not so large as are those of that variety, BULBOPHYLLUM AURICOMUM, This is an elegant and pretty species bearing arching racemes of white flowers in great profusion.

V. D. TREES AND SHRUBS, SOME CHOICE TREES AND SHRUB3 AT MARKREE CASTLE, A cuoice collection of hardy trees and shrubsisa interesting feature in any garden, and it may be helpful to some readers of the Gardeners’ Chronicleil I give a list of the various trees and shrubs suitable for garden purposes which exist in the gardens at Markree Castle, Ireland. The locality is not an ideal one for the growth of these subjects, the natural soil being of a cold retentive nature, which demands math labour in forming composts to suit the various species, and our worst trouble is excessive rainfall, The cli- matic conditions vary greatly in this part of Ireland; for instance, about 17 miles from here is the seat the Earl of Kingston, in whose gardens Conifer, Rhododendrons, and choice shrubs grow luxuriantly, without any special care being bestowed upon thea, the natural soil and elevation being such as favour thë growth of vegetation generally, I am therefore ablet recommend with confidence any tree or shrab met- tioned in these notes as fit to plant in the south ani north-midland counties of Eagland.

E had occasion to notice (January 5, p. 16) the neat little pocket-catalogue of Cypripediums compiled by Mr. H. J. Chapman, gardener to W R. I. Measures, Esq., of Camberwell, at whose cost it was published. In this, as in all previous catalogues, the names of the hybrids were placed first, and in alphabetical order, and the names of the species or variet’es from which they were obtained afterwards. We suggested that in view of the difficulties in the way of readily ascertaining, by the aid of a list so arranged, whether a certain cross had been made, and the name progeny of such cross, it would be advisable to make a supplementary catalogue in which the species and varieties used in obtaining the hybrids should be placed alphabetically in the first column, and the names of t y two species or varieties used; eady in y Extraordinary varieties must of course be recorded, but let them be kept under their proper heads. We hope occasionally to bring the list we now publish up to date, and also to deal with other Orchids, &c., in a similar manner. The names of persons given in the right-hand column are those of the raisers or of the introducers, It is not in all cases possible to say whether the introducer was really also the raiser. PARENTS.

WATERCRESS AND ITS CULTIVATION IN FRANCE. 1 excellent new French monthly illus- magazine, Le Monde Moderne, ente il in its February number, an interesting artiole by Mons. Charles Grosdemange upon the cultivation of Watercress at Provins, a small town situated nearly sixty miles east of Paris, where this industry gives profitable employment to a num Provins, with i s picturesque ruins, dating back to the atiii: and thirteenth centuries, its beautifal rural penne and its mineral as the author of the article visitor—but, like him, we must limit ourselves to the horticultural point of view. In this re- spect, we are reminded at the commencement that Provins is the birthplace of the Rose which bears its name, though commonly written“ Pro- vence,” the true French Rose, Rosa gallica. Well watered by two winding yet swift-flowing rivers, the Voulzie and the Durtain, the district round , are special notice at a time when this simple plant is being made the object of attacks, on the score that it is possibly responsible for mysterious ailments, and even for outbreaks of typhoid fever. In the year 1888, M. Doublet, a Watercress grower, began to establish with the Voulzie and the Durtain. The Creee-beds consist of a series of shallow pits, about 75 yards long, and 20 inches in depth, with an average width of 8$ feet. They are separated from each other by a turf path a yard wide. The slope from the end of the beds where the water enters to that at which it leaves after having circulated through them is relatively small, being only 3 inches in a bed 75 yards long. From the oharge: pit, which receives the water, the latter passes into the beds through an earthenware pipe, 4 inches in diameter, placed under the path separating the charge-pit from the beds. When it has reached the end of the bed it passes out in a similar manner into the discharge-pit. These earthenware tubes, a kind of drain-pipe, are so a n the ground that y level of the water in the beds never exceeds 4 inches, at which it is kept during the whole time that the Cress is under cultivation. — The Voulzie Cress-beds. 5 1 cover a surface of about 20 acres, present, a eight large divisions of twenty-five to thirty | beds each.

Now, who that is familiar with the orchards of this country will say that these requirements are generally met? Is it not the exception to find orchards properly attended to? Where improvement is manifest, it is in market farms where gardening methods have been but recently adopted. æ Another point in which increased care is needed is in harvesting the fruit.

The reasons which conduced to the selection of valid, but there is no question that, so far as horticulture alone was concerned, the choice was not a propitioùs one. Its situation far from the coast, at a long distance from the other leading cities of the Union, its extreme climate, and the general indifference of the inhabitants towards horticulture in its higher developments, all tended to fetter the progress of the horticul- tural department.

Maurice de Vilmorin has the opportunity of judging from experience, having visited the States for the first time seventeen years ago, when the taste for horticulture was not so much developed as it is now M. de Vilmorin's special report is divided into four seotions — Fruit Culture, Vegetable Culture, the Production of Flowers; while the fourth section is devoted to a general summar The progress of fruit-culture is attributed in reat measure to the activity of the American MFE RL TRE Er and French fruit-preservers have reason to feel some apprehension at the rapid — vo the“ a industry, and of in the other means of prese States.

CORRECTED AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR THE ENSU- ING WEEK, DEDUCED FROM THE OBSERVATIONS OF FORTY-THREE YEARS, AT CHISWICK.— masala Amid all the vagaries of recent Nomenclature, tion for naming plants, it is refreshing to read the declaration of the commission on this subject, appointed by the International Botanical Congr t met at Genoa in 1892. It appeared in the January number of the Oester- reichische Botanische Zeitung, and has also been widely distributed in a separate form. This document is an admirable specimen of brevity and conciseness, the whole occupying less than Spee: and if itis somewhat less $ conser- an the utterances from en e 8 tions put 1. The vals tat a name once employed, and subsequently spawn ac invalid, should not be used in, is recommended for future obser- aga vance; but a eee e application of the diotum, “once a synonym, always a a synonym,” is rejected as leading to a vicious alteration of names. 2. Te transferring a species from one genus to another, the N. d specific name is, as a rule, to be reta 3. The year 1758 to be the starting-point in priority both for genera and species, 4, In the naming of species, the principle of priority is to be — save that a name is not to be displaced by a doubtful one. 5, In naming genera, a name that has been in oblivion for at least fifty years shall not be revived to replace a current name. But this rule is subject to the exception that where such name has been in use for at Pit * years since its revival, it shall remain "tt ebe be explained that the foregoing are ions to on the whole, so reasonable and practicable, that we should be glad to see the leading botanists of this country support them, not alone in prac- tice, as they actually do, but 1 4 making known their adhesion to some such r The second proposition is fae one that will doubtless encounter the greatest opposition in this country, in its present form it makes no distinction between the botanists, say, who regard Batrachium and Ranunculus as dis- tinct genera, and the botanist who, by mistake, or sheer ignorance, places a true Ranunculus in Anemone. To give an instance of what we mean, the late Dr. Hance described a Chinese plant under the name of Hedyotis longidens. Some years later the same plant came under the notice of Professor OLIVER, and he, w sume, without any knowled : Hance had done, published the plant as Wend- landia Henryi. Now these genera belong to ifferent tribes of the Rubiaceæ. When Mr. HEMSLEWY came to deal with these plants in his Enumeration of Chinese Plants, he discovered that they were the the first name as a had he e ee the pai of priority in specific names, wo have called the plant ‘ese Indie: Pein Hemsl., thus adding eces- andi ignoring the ‘olin of the botanist who first correctly determined the genus of the plant in question. Of o course, we are assuming that OLIVER was right, and Hance wrong, as to the pre! it is not a matter of Opinion in this instance Some bitter complaints have been Se set forth by London suburban greengrocers as to the effects upon their trade exercised by the ee of a very simple matter. Residents in the suburbs having connections with these places of business have only to select from the list, make up their orders, enclose a cheque or P. O., and in ashort time the goods are at the door—of the best quality at the Prices, but this possibly not the lowest quotations in the open market, the greengrocers’ way of doing business ore. oe the best, for a com- parison of y writer at various — in an extensive suburb showed that what was most noticeable in 8 Deicke eet, Potatos, Grapes, Seakale, and other vegetables ; h to provoke s eet of course, is — so much nonsense, noticed in one instance that Wiles the “ Stores” cleared £1 on a delivered ton of Potatos the greengrocer was olearing thrice that mon ney. This is on one side; there is no doubt that there are grievances a affecting the suburban tradesman, but it is possible for him to alter and improve are to be found th heads together, and draw up a plan, p all the Six Home Counties Directory, call on 89 for market to give them their help or advice, which would gladly be vouchsafed, for they could see their way to planting dozen of “ pitches,” instead of seeking the limited number of metropolitan markets, to which “ pitches” the vendors could easily find their way at the least possible expense of time and horseflesh. The County Council would doubtless be glad to help here; it would be the commencement of the realisation of their great scheme for market extension in which the convenience and profit of all e first e, The could have no reason com- plain; certainly, their customers would ri the advantage of contiguity of markets, freshness of goods, and possibly lowering of rates.

The perianth eg tube longer than in E. can The corona is about half the length of that species. The leaf characters are those of E. Sanderi. It is stated to be very free flowering.

Brett, who loved to haunt the neighbourhood, seems to have greatly exaggerated the colours of the granite. Not even in the brightest sun- light could one see the rose-tinted granite purple-veined and coated with amber-green turf, which he delighted to paint. Five only of the islands are inhabited, St. Mary’s, Tresoo, Bryher, St. Martin, and St. Agnes. Sampson, the scene of Walter Besant’s Armorel of Lionnesse, is at present uninhabited ; the ruins of n and some remarkable stone cists still remain climate is delightful; the air full of a mellow golden light which casts no shadows; whichever way one walks even in February there is abundant evidence of the genial climate, Frost is comparatively unknown, and Potatos are occasionally dug in March. Many of the cottagers have plots of garden ground devoted to the growth of spring-flowers—Narcissus, Wallflowers, Stocks, Ixias, and other bulbous- wers. A marked feature of the land- soape is the oblong plot of ground, protected by the tall h of Escallonia, Veronica, and Tamarisk, The former is common enough in the South of England. It is a handsome glossy- leaved evergreen, bearing clusters of trumpet- Th fences serve chiefly to protect the flowers from storms of wind. What strikes one more especially in walking about St. Mary’s is the absence of trees. A few lend a friendly shelter to the churchyard of the old town, where lie buried the remains of the ill-fated fleet of Sir Cloudesly Shovel, wrecked close by, on their return from the capture of Gibraltar, The wayside hedgerows and walls are covered n abu colours, They ramble over the banks and stone walls, and by the handsome church where the spaces between the rocks are filled with brilliant masses of colour. One of the tribe, which bears a large canary-coloured flower, puts a dense carpet of foliage and flowers along the margin of the sag bays. Near to the ruins of the ancient church is the principal bulb-farm of the island. The Daffodil requires a loamy soil with a plentiful admixture The early flowers are raised in boxes, the bulbs ee very thickly in the loam and ee under glass.

Ferns are not plentiful, but the Osmunda who succeeded that kindly autocrat, Augustus Smith, of Tresco Abbey. It is to him that the prosperity of the Islands is chiefly due. He introduced a sys stem of compulsory education, which resulted in raising the condition of the Islanders from ignorance and poverty to comparative comfort and wealth. While standing on the quay of St. Mary’s, one sees across the Sound, about two miles distant, a richly-wooded island, in the midst of which stands a stately house. This is Tresco Abbey, the home of the Lord Proprietor. A smart little steam-launch, his property, crosses daily. Here is one of the most beautiful gardens in Europe, and at the back of it, sheltered from “all the airts,” is the“ Home of the Lilies.“ Acres upon acres, in several hundred varieties, are grown here, with nothing to protect them but reed or lath fences, or the Escallonia hedges aforesaid. e flowers vary greatly in shape, size, and colour, from the noble Sir Watkin, Emperor, and Empress, 5 to 6 inches across, to the tiny Angel’s Tears, barely half an inch, The colour, too, varies through all the golden the chastely elegant wilding of th meadows; probably the same that Wordsworth “ Beside a lake beneath the trees Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.” The Narcissus tribe, however, are not the there are acres of Wallflowers and Stocks, whioh arrive at Covent Garden Market some weeks i advance of those grown at ho By the “ Lily gardens” there are ten e glass structures, in which are grown the earliest flowers. The latter are followed by enormous crops of Tomatos, which also find a ready market in London and the great provincial towns, Most of the able-bodied men on the island find employment here. New varieties are raised yearly from seed, the flowers being artificially impregnated an interference by the bees. Several years, of course, must elapse before the flower appears, - several more before a -e stock is for market purposes, r a time, how- m; the inorease is in a e progres- sion, and the new varieties are purchasable at prices, It has — a fashion of late to plait various k kinds of Daffodi rms and graceful habit.

Is THE NELUMBIUM AN EGYPTIAN PLANT? F the Dawn Ae da v . Chaldea, = Pro Professor Say l'Egypte, Hist, Nat., pl. 61. Professor Maspero says: — Two pecies of Lotus which grew in the Nile, the white and the blue, have se ete similar “hese are evidently Nymphwas. th Nymphwa. The Professor, quoting from Herodotus, ii., 92, goes on to say, the fruit of the pink Lotus “ grows on a different stalk from that of tae flower (!), and springs directly from form,” Prof take a more prossio Aale . the rove of & eig — part has twenty or thirty cavities, “ each con- big as an Olive stone, and or dried.” Besides j as the Lotus, nebo a Nelumbium. An ays, „This is what the ancients called the Bean of Egypt.“ With regard to this Bean, he refers Diodorus Siculus, i, 10,34; Theophrastus, Hist. Pl. iv., 105 and Strabo, xvii., 799, It is curious that Herodotas should have noted that the ripe fruit“ grows on ‘a different stalk from that of the flower,” and should have overlooked the fact that the same thing though much smaller, occupied the centre of the flower. In spite of this error, he was undoubtedly describing a Nelumbium. Miss Amelia B. Edwards, in her Pharaohs, ‘ellahs, and Explorers, says, “ Of the three varie- ties [of Lotus] which ee, enen in the of whi time rose Lotus, only the ae Net 0 has ed.” „ O. Nihol Nymphæa! On the other hand, Mr. G. Nichol- ymphæa ee e i genus (Nelumbium) comprises only a couple of ` of which one is American, the ot Asiatico or Australian.“ Bat he does not mention that the Nelumbium is, or ever has been, an Egyptian plant.

SALE id Protheroe & Morris’ FRIDAY, apart 194 O Henn. * CORRE ING WEEK, DEDUCED FROM THE OBSERVATIONS OF FORTY-THREE YEARS, AT CHISWICK.—48°.4 THosE interested in the culture t be glad ss themselves of a little treatise entitled, Les Azaiées, written by M. Duval, and published in Paris, 8, Place de l’Odéon, by M. O. Dorn. The great development of the so-called Indian Azalea, as a gardener's flower, dates from about 1832, when KNIGHT and PERRY, SMITH and others set to work to raise new varieties by ERY, ROLL VERSCHAFFELT, LESEBE, D varieties still retaining an honourable position. The author of the present book has a right to speak, for his grandfather, C. Duval, was a noted raiser; and, moreover, he is himself an en- thusiast, who repeats e i zalea is the most beautiful flowering plant in existence. The botanical history prefixed to the practical sections is interesting and accurate. Of course, from a strictly botanical standpoint, will continue to be Azaleas, and not Rhododen- drons, nor Loiseleurias, nor Tsutsias. In the n their knowledge of geography, and things from China were commonly spoken of as of Indian origin, Ihe body of the book contains directions for the preparation of cuttings, grafts, and for carrying out other cultural points, I interesting to learn onths a size and vigour only attainable after two years under ordinary circumstances, For forcin purposes, M. Duvar commends early-flowering varieties such as 1, Deutsche Perle; 2, Pauline Mardner; Rucker; 5, versi- a; the varieties being named in the usual order of their flowering. If these plants are started the first week in Novem- ber, they may be expected to flower in the third or fourth week of December. ter these come other varieties, which, started at the same time, flower in the end of December or early in January, viz., 1, Simond Mardner; 2, Eborina or Pb 0 8 5 -Mo = ea „ pla colestinum attain in thirteen m = plena; 3, Madame Van der Cruyssen ; 4, Paul de Sigismand Rucker, e Melanie, Harlequin, Comte de Kerchove, and ing, and otherwise unattractive. only a few lines above, he says, “the reader must not imagine that these variations are pro- duced by chance. ems easy to trace the origin of these sportive varieties to the old Azalea vittata, In any case, it is the varieties with brick-red or clear rose-coloured flowers which furnish the varieties in which the petals re edged with white, fringed or margined; whilst those varieties which have cherry - red flowers, have, up to the present, not shown any variation. Among the illustrations cited by M. Duvat, we may mention Souvenir du Prince Albert, a variety with dull-red flowers and in- different habit. The striped variety of this has a deep rose ground striped with purple, margined a flower of a clear salmon colour, whilst the scope causing the separation and re-combination of previously mixedelements, Atavism—or the reversion to an ancestral condition—is, of course, only a more marked and clearly defined separa- tion. Under this heading we should place the case mentioned by M. Duvat, where one Azalea is tardy in development, whilst the sport from it is early and more vigorous. Double-flowered varieties are also alluded with the author that, from a purely ssthetic varieties are preferable, some di = i but all the better for that and for the benefit of exhibitors a chapter is: given on the od of packing for transport. Soils suitable for the culture of the Ghent Azaleas, and to those of the mollis These are not treated at such treatises we have ever met with. We com i i ` cund it heartily to the notice of those interested, — l In the ordinary run of things The ee nothing could be more interesti or than a bulb show at Haarlem; and those who read will admit that, at all events, it was compre. hensive enough in character, But an interval of five years is a long one, as exhibitions go now- — a-days, especially when the importance utch Society is a purely local one, confined, indeed, to the boundaries of Alkmaar on the one sid d Leiden on the other, with Haarlem as the great centre. The Sooi is composed of 1500 members, for whose special benefit a weekly journal, Weekblad voor Bloem- bollencultuur, is issued, now in the fifth year of its existence. The suggestion has been made Shabba Hit ial Wrehihiti ] an international affair; and the suggestion is certainly one of considerable interest to English and ot growe The Dutch florists, as munity, are essentially 8 conservative, but, like other business communi- ties, they would hardly stand in their own light when an innovation would be synonymous with a magnificent advertisement. An international show would mean a publicity for Haarlem which it has not enjoyed since the famous Tulipomanis sensations. English growers can scarcely expeot to triumph over the Datch in regard to Hya- cinths, Tulips, and several other classes; but in many respects we venture to hazard the belief that our friends across the water would not have it alltheirown way. The rivalry would be bene- ficial for both countries, and many useful lessons rnt. The chief objection to an international show as p bitors would probably do at the end of the journey. Haarlem is less than a twelve hours’ journey from London, and the splendid facilities of the new Hook-of-Holland route has brought the famous old city within as easy reach of which properly-packed plants arrive at their destination, the fine show of Amaryllis (Hippe- astrum) staged by Messrs. R. P. Kern & Sons, Liverpool, would be sufficient. One of the most interesting lessons of the the result of the several experiments which had been made in growing certain bulbous plants with the aid of artificial manure, So far as we could see, after a very careful examination into the fruits of these trials,the time-honoured method of dressing the ground with cow-manure is indubitably the co! one, In other words, artificial manure has failed entirely: it has neither increased the robustness of the plant, nor the brilliancy of the flowers, The soil of Haarlem is the most one possible for the majority of bulbous plants, with the addition of the nourishment already indicated; and it would be a waste of both time and money to seek for aid in the form of artificial manures. other lesson is too important to be exhib 3 additional labour which this system in 5 the jurors, the results, as a whole, were 80 unpleasantly surprising, more than those who had adjudicated.

Many have seen the necessity for this =- wing does not pay, but on the average theculture of Grapes, T. rs, flowers, fruit, and forced vegetables does pay, where the conditions are favourable, and where the proprietor knows his business. Itis folly to suppose that any one can Aman its principles and trained in its practice. The failures that one hears of are mostly traceable to the notion that a man can suddenly, and without prove training, manage a business profitably. s seems a bare platitude, and so it is; never- chelate, experience shows that people do not realise ‘the force of the truth it enunciates. The practice in the different County Councils varies a good deal, but the ultimate object is the same. In some counties the interests of the present generation are alone considered ; prac- tical instruction in cultural details is the main thing aimed at. Instruction is given by peri- patetic teachers, who visit the country districts, and supply valuable information to the residents. When this is combined with actual demon- stration, and, still better, with actual practice, as where gardens and allotments are visited at ee by competent instructors, the result is ely to be excellent. Local exhibitions also serve to stimulate emulation, and supply profit- able object-lessons, Extremely valuable as is the kind of instruc- tion just given, it clearly does not meet all the necessities of the case. So far as mere practice goes, our best cultivators are as good, or even pa 85 But, assuming that the notion, that the average British cultivator is the best in the world is true,—what then ?

This is the plan followed by the Wilts County Council at Warminster, whose report on experiments with Potatos and Onions, published by Eyra & Sporriswoops, is before us. We cannot go into details of the several experiments made in the cultivati manuring, Ko. These were very satisfactory on the whole, though nothing pona novel was elicited, and but for the ac edged neces sity of “ beating things into — heads, we should have characterised the experiments in the same category as slaying the slain. Object lessons, however, such as these at Warminster, are most valuable for the instruction of that very large class of the community who never read, or at least never act on what they read. From this point of view, we are glad to see that during the coming season it is hoped that practical and theoretical classes will be arranged in connection Whilst, then, we are still wofully behind our neighbours, there are at least some obvious signs of progress, which a quarter of a century ago were not perceptible, 4 — et =a ct o — a ® 9 "i — B D i= ct P — Ez] . j r Q > ma mh © “4 ct ea ee r es — SOPHRONITIS GRANDIFLORA, — Our Supple mentary Illustration represents an instance of note f worthy success in Orchid cultivation from the : gardens of Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., President c the Royal Horticultural Society, whose collection of these plants is so interesting and valuable, and 5 withal managed with such ee, care, that we have frequently to sele s exhibited from Horticultural Society on March 12, when 11 ! was awarded a Firat- class Certificate, it carried sixty very fine blooms, The plant has bye grow from a small 3 — se Trevor La re), who has frequently grower (Mr. W.

Y [Mar 4,1895, however, yoi with but little encouragement, Sir Fern authorities, the notion became pted as true. Mr. Lowe then advanced further, and asse possi- bility. of hybridising Ferns artificially. This notion was met on the part of the cultivators with vigorous denial. The thing was not pos- sible, they said. Still, Mr. Lowe persevered. He could not, indeed, operate with the same directness and precision as the florist who, with due precaution, removes the pollen from one flower and deposits it on the stigma of another flower, but he could effect the commingling of different individuals by indirect means. This was effected by sowing spores taken from various plants thickly, so that the resultant prothalli might be in contact, and every facility thus offered for the transit of the spermatozoids from - one prothallus to another. The microscopic character of these organs was a difficulty to be overcome in crossing Ferns, and the only way to overcome thi med to sowing the Fern- spores thickly together, trusting to their close organs” [The author clearly means the antherozoids. | “having been noticed to move about with activity in the moisture on the surface of the prothallus, it was thought possible for them to cause rather than hybridity or cross-breedin, ng. But as time went on, and the results increased in iden r number, the evidences o i Fe e poesy doubts that hybrid or cross-bred Ferns do and that they can be produced artificially in Py — way we have mentioned, The book befo ore us gives the rn of the nd dis- tinctly.

The plants were exhibited at Chiswick and elsewhere, and some of them are figured in the present book, How can the facts be otherwise explained than by what Mr. Lowe oalls multiple paren- as they are by the very remarkable evidence he brings forward, n microscopists, No doubt Mr. ma n It is possible also that there may be slight differences in anatomi- cal structure between the several forms, and if these characteristics were re -produce periments in dividing the prothallus so as to isolate the newly - produced seedling, can only allude to in passing.

Even so recently as 1870, easy- n mowers were not common, although goi they were rapidly making way; and a trial of several makes was held at Chiswick by the Royal Hortioultural Society of London in the year fol- lowing—a figure of one of the best, the “ lo- American,” appearing in our issue for August 26 in that year. This mower resembled an ‘earlier machine, the Archimedian, on which it was sup- to be an ng he tia ; it had two driving- wheels, and the handle was in a direct line with the axle, The Climax was a mower of about that uso, Mha h ° 1 saris by being made more simple in all their parts, lighter, and consequently of easier draught; and also fitted with front bearing-wheels standing close to the pA thus enabling grass to be mown close up to plants and shrubs in beds and borders, and rendering the use of the scythe — needful in completing the — of a gras plot. An improvement to the same end, an nd one greatly needed, was the general adoption by all makers of the protecting casing over the toothed-wheel and chain gear on the sides of the pares In the old kinds of machines the gearing was unprotected, and the damage done sometimes by the cogwhe els was irretrievable. So great was the noise caused by these cogwheel machines, ost establishments they could not be used whilst the family was in residence before 9 A. u., when the inmates had risen. In this — of substituting the watch-chain gearing heel and reducing the number n siderably reducing friction. mostly to require now is a prensa fe which is a want that we hope soon to see met by our clever machinists, The steam- driven mower is already in existence, but except for the heavier kinds of machines now drawn by powerful horses, it is not probable that it will get into very general use, owing chiefly to the great addition to the weight of a mower, its costliness, noise in working, and the necessity of its being under the control of a man acquainted with the use of steam machinery. The older makers erred on the side of making the grass- collecting box too small, involving frequent toppages to clear the knives by pushing the grass into the back of the box or for emptying it. This fault has been remedied by some makers by providing larger boxes, or fitting them with some light kind of a rake by which the grass is removed from the vicinity of the knives till the box is filled, without the attendant having occasion to frequently stop the machine. This is a decided gain in point of time, and the horse is much less distressed. Moreover, the revolving knives, being unclogged by the grass that falls into the box, are not likely to be broken or strained, nor mower driven by springs so as to fit it for mowing un is well spoken of by those pr have had it in use for a season, and all of them say that the springs form a great im- provement, doing away with all jarring and 8 haking, rendering the working smooth and easy, tending greatly to avert breakages, and lessen the draught.

In short, every individual, whether it be man, beast, fish, plant, or insect, will be found, if only closely enough studied, to have its own peculiarities, none being absolutely identical in every r Nevertheless, the principle of heredity is undoubted, so far as general resem- blance is concerned, and the probabilities are all in favour of the reproduction in the offspring of all the main characters of the parents, any marked peculiarity not simply accidental being almost 5 transmitted with greater or less distinctness, It is aen to this fact that when we leave the human race, which has an insuperable objection to allow its love affairs to be regulated by rule te these pecu- liarities generation after generation, to such an extent that in time two individuals of the same species, the products of selection on different gether unlooked-for new deol ti, i.e., the “ special formations” of our We e, appear, and form new lines of departure, of which the breeder other- wise would never have dreamt. ake as a common example the dog, where a on wolf or fox-like progenitor has been moulded mainly by constant careful selection of special points on divergent lines for countless generations, poima at last we possess such utterly differen the Newfoundland and the tiniest ra as er mere size, and the bull - dog and greyhound as extremes of dissimilar form. Among the dogs, howe sg there are strong probabilities that Nature's “jumps” have materially helped the breeder in attaining such intending results, Both the bull-dog, and the Dachshund a Turnspit presumably started as sudden “ No totaal r record, indeed, establishes this as a fact, but where we find identical types „ in other quadrupeds, this ee with. ne ewes, were not of intermediate to this, a true breed of the otter or ancon sheep called legs ented from i and this was deemed an adva antage worth per- petuating.

In these a dozen types could be brought together which if found wild in different parts of the world, no scientist would rank as belong- ing even to jhe same family, so diverse are they in every point. Yet every one of these is a form of the common blue-rock pigeon modifie continuous selection of differences, generally pecial crea- Strange to say, although this selective breeding has been carried on for ages, it still occasionally happens that eggs of even the most exaggerated types yield common blue-rocks when hatched, while partial reversions are so frequent that the breeder has constantly to be on the alert, not merely to improve his birds but simply to keep them true. There is little doubt indeed that were these highly modified animals, dogs, pigeons, or what not, turned out to shift for themselves, and deprived at once of the selective and protective care of man, natural selection would immediately commence to undo his work, and by reversing his process speedily restore them to their original types.

The locality we had selected as our next hunt- ing ground was about thirty miles inland from Charleston, S. C., and proved to be a veritable haunt of the fly-catohers. The sod round the negro cabins was dotted over with S. variolaris, but every tube exactly resembled its neighbour except in size. Not so with the stately S. flava, ile many of the plants were of a uniform li colour, Aae were gathered that showed rich crimson veins traversing the lid and The . it must were rare; but were brought away which are still Qooking wall i and. will, T trust, colour op as nely the summer suns as under those of “ South onsen 644 THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE. I am decidedly of the opinion that strong sun- light is a powerful determining factor in the deep crimson in full sunshine, to uniform green in the shade. Some of the pitchers of S. flava were simply magnificent, and almost, if not quite, eclipsed the giants of Glasnevin Gardens; 33 feet from the rhizome, and 3 inches across the mouth, were tube measurements that satisfied us. The scenery and life of bn savannahs are to me only surpassed of the great lone hills, Isolated individuals and irregular patches of the long-leaved Pine cover the flat or slightly undulating country. Clumps of spice-bush and of; S. flava that spring from a grassy sand-loam beneath. In such surroundings we often watched till a sudden leap into the air, and a few strokes of its wings would carry it out of sight, if not out of hearing. Our next resting-place was Wilmington, N.

Moore as à oross between purpurea and flava. But this settled, we had to find the ee parent, not a specimen of which we had up to that time seen in the south. Not three feet from where we were standing the needed parent was disoovered. Both hybrids I am glad to say are growing with me, while subsequent minute study of their structure confirmed their dual origin. You will mp credit the 15 re our native S. purpurea at times m t three weeks after my enen tour I was 1 in New Jersey, and was oarried by train past a lake bordered by the plant. I determined to make an inspection, and did not regret it. The lake was about a quarter of a mile long. Its ered by a oontinuous sheet of e. mass of pitchers 7 to 12 feet in width, and mostly floating in the water, was a sight indeed. I hope some day to photograph the view, and you will then be able to share the pleasure, a In the sheltered bays of this lake floating beds of the purple Bladderwort (Utricularia violacea), in full bloom, alternated with sunken logs that were carpetted with Drosera rotundi- folia and D. intermedia, A real carnivorous garden, you will say, and such it was.

The field of natural science is so immense and inexhaustible, that the normal forms of life monopolise almost entirely the research of the scientist, and there is far. too great a tendency to stigmatise the abnormalities as mere “ mon- strosities.” We are, however, convinced that in the long history ‘of evolution, the “ sports,” or “ special creations ” as the slow moulding of changing environment, er “sports” have doubtless occurred, ped to be destroyed because the environment as antagonistic; but some have certainly been in the right direction, and who shall say that ngly-marked individuals with such prepotent powers as existed in the otter-ram and Niata cattle might not be capable, i in @ very short time, 1 previous normal t ; given, there- nd favourable modification of the ering race might arise and flourish, and call itself Homo when the time came, In fine, grant that Nature can and does act occasionally per saltum, and our search for missing links is at an end, * * * * * * * Since writing the foregoing, my attention has August last, in which it is assumed that such a suddenly modified breed as I have indicated, could not continue in existence unless the ex- tremely unlikely contingency arose of both a similarly-modified male and female originating simultaneously and meeting at maturity. It ars to me, however, that such prepotency, as prt ae occurs in males, and did indeed occur in the curious Niata and other breeds of cattle ai sheep, destroys this objection entirely, by doing away with need for a similarly- varied partner. If the 1 of the male is strong enough to obliterate the normal female ype in the offspring altogether, the second generation may yield not only males and females of the pure modified type, but these may be the progeny of various females, the evil effects of constant in-breeding being thus eliminated. That no record exists of such cases having been followed up, is no argument against their pos- sibility, while in the vegetable kingdom a good parallel case of the establishment of an abnor- mal form, and consequent ousting of the normal, has come under the writer’s personal notice, and was duly recorded several years ago. There is a long stone-wall in Dartmoor, a few miles from Holne Chase, which for many yards was, and probably is, densely covered with a abnormal caudate depauperate form of Asplenium adiantum nigrum, Both ends of the wall are covered with normal plants of that species, but in the m could not d abnormal form can not only hold its own, but has some advantage over the normal, which enables it to oust it, The abnormal type i is quite found nowhere ie and as thi species creeping rhizome which would enable a singh individual to spre the wall, we must assume that a single “ sport ” oocurred, the spores of which yielded a large number of individuals of same type which gradually dispossessed the normal, and took its l This, be it observed, has occurred entirely under natural Cane, and “Williogs the interference of the “ breeder,” who, in the address before us, is considered essential to the perpetuation of any suddenly originating ab- normal type, h a case as this, which is quite open to verification, demonstrates at any rate the possibility of new forms becoming per- manent types by natural selection only, a very wide difference thus suddenly originating which would demand an immense period of time, were the slow and imperceptible changes of ordinary natural selection alone in question.

The Orchids, the Roses, the Clematis, the fruit, the vegetables, and a dozen other things that might be enume- rated, show that our cultivators need fear no competition. The Orchids which always form the principal feature of the Temple show were able ind' vidually as wehaveseen them. Sir TREVOR Lawrencr’s Epidendrum Stamfordianum, species difficult to grow, was perhaps the most remarkable plant exhibited, and seoured the award of a Silver Flora Medal. A like award was given to the beautiful specimen of Cypri- pedium Stonei platytenium. ron ScHRODE showed a finely-flowered specimen of Masdevallia Houtteana with no fewer than 300 flowers. From Orchids to Peas may seem to some a long jump, yet the exhibit of Messrs.

(3) An extensive series of evening olasses on agriculture and allied — embracing horti- culture and forestry ; (4) The usual summer vacation classes for schoolmasters. The day classes, it is seen, extend over two sessions, each beginning i in Ootober and ending i in March. these classes will have previously completed a good general school trainin The work of the first session is principally mensuration, mechanics, elementary physics e: The i provided in the Heriot-Watt College and the Royal Botanic Garden. The subjects embraced in the second session are agriculture; agricultural . — 3 zoology, and perry veterinary science, and forestry—these classes being held in the 3 sity, Royal (Dick) Veterinary College, and Royal Botanic Garden. The complete course aims at fitting a young man to enter with intelligence into his work as a farmer, a gardener, or a forester. It should enable him to understand the greater part of the work that he will see in practice, and to study for himself any special subject that he may afterwards find to be of importance to him. The course is also well adapted for those to be engaged or interested in the management of landed property, Numerous and varied evening classes are pro- vided in the Heriot-Watt College and the Royal Botanic Garden for those who are otherwise engaged during the day. The schoolmaster vacation classes are to be held this year from July 29 till August 23. The attendance at these is free to selected school- masters, The subjects of study and lecturers this year are:—Geology—Dr. Flett, — ohemistry— Dr. 5 a lecturer ; poultry—Mr tural scale of of fees ae been .

EADERS of the Gardeners’ Chronicle will have observed the numerous references to the proceedings of Agricultural R apd shed ing Stations on the Continent and in Ameri In many of these establishments 8 is dealt with, as well as agriculture, In all cases of course, the fundamental principles, so tag as the cultivation of plants is concern same, may be justly proud of ony TEn W. 5 Roth of turning that In this 1 we are nearly half a century our near neighbours; whilst 93 which began the work much later strides such as we poor Britishers — marvel at, but can hardly expect to em b some parts of this country land is going ou of cultivation, it is difficult to find tenants foe farms, and at the very same time the imports of oe agricultural and horticultural produce more favourable, and the expenses of cultivation there still remains a very | se rally, much more can be got out of the land than has stom been obtained from it. The proof is easily seen by comparing the output of the market parse with that of the farm. In spite of alleged preferential rates and market extor- tions, it is clear that the market growers of high- class vegetables, fruit, and flowers are prospering to an extent that may well excite the envy of the agriculturists proper. At the same time, an outlet is both skilled and labour. ‘The ordinary farmer can hardly be expected to be able to S adapt himself to new con- ditions, In his own groove he is excellent, but the groove is narrow and deep, an does not enable him to see over it. It is to the coming f e * we must look to use the slang of to be able to - their knowledge. It is from this point of view ` - that not a few interested in cultural matters will ua owe 736 THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE. [Jone 15, 1895, feel some astonishment at the report just pre- sented to the Board of Agriculture by Mr. P. G. Craigie. To our own readers the subject will be more familiar, as we have from time to time called attention to it; 3 the Sibthorpian Pro- fessor, Mr. Warington, dealt with it in his introductory lecture at Oxford not long since. Now that we have a definite statistical statement from a well-known expert, we may hope the lesson will be taken to heart Mr. Craigie visited the States in the autumn of 1893, to inquire, amongst other things, into the organisation of the officially-aided experiment stations in the various States de Union. The result of his inquiries is detailed in the report before us, which may be had for 4d. from Messrs, Eyre & Spottiswoode, East Harding Street, Fleet Street, London. We cannot enter into detail here, but we may allude to a few prominent points. Thereare, it appears,more than threescore collegiate institutions wholly or partly engaged in agricultural teaching. These institutions are supported by Government grants and grants from the several States, supplemented by the viduals, or earned by the sale of produce. One thousand one hundred and fifty-nine teachers are employed. In addition to these leading colleges, there are fifty-four experiment stations, also supported by the State. e staff at these stations varies from three in Alabama to sixteen at Cornell, and seventeen at Michigan. The total number of officials is 491, including | 115 chemists, 59 ma botanis duty of these stations is defined t experiments on the physiology of plants and animals, their diseases and remedies ; the chemical composition of useful plants, com- parative advantages of rotation of crops, the acclimatisation of new varieties of plants and trees, analyses of soil and water, manurial expe- riments and analyses, feeding and dairy problems, and so forth.” It is admitted that there has been an occasional tendency to superficiality of treatment, and to other defects attributable to in- experience, and to the condition that Bulletins are required to be published at regular intervals, The desire to publish results is, of course natural enough, but it is ind that hasty generalisation is likely to be fostered by such a system. This does not, of course, apply to those ulletins which are intended to supply culti- vators with information on certain ts. To give an idea of the “lines of work” at these stations, we may say that horticulture is credited with 183 “ enquiries,” including vege- tables, 41; small fruits, 42; Grapes, 42; orchard pny 43 ; nuts, 15. Matters ss number which were made the subject of investiga. tion at the various stations in theyear 1892. The experiment station record for 1892 contains 970 pages, in which the information given in 17,514 pages of bulletins and reports is con T subjects upon which information was publish-d circulated were crops and cropping 209, 8 and bee- culture 89, soils 41, chemi 30, besides matters of purely agricultural interest which we do not cite. A central office at Wash- supervises and co-ordinates the work done by the local institutions. g with generalities, to a few of which we have alluded, Mr. Craigie goes on to give full details of various colleges which he visited, beginniag with Cornell 5 where a university training is given, followed by the conferring o? the degrees of Bachelor or Master of Agriculture. This institution owes its origin to the dona- tion Esra Cornell of £100,000 in money and of 200 acres of land. The proceeds are supplemented by State aid, so that the instruc- tion given to the students is practically free! a small sum only NN paid for the use of appa- ratus and materi The re; agree 1 N four years, during t the lest two of h the P “Pe week; entom ology, wo in hortioaltre, ; e spent in practical work in the 5 4 forcing- houses, or — (To be continued.)

The specimens from which our illustration (fig. 110) was taken were obligingly communicated by Mr. Gum- dleton, who received them from Tresco, Scilly Islands. Nothing of smaller size than elephant-folio could do jastice to the noble foliage and striking appearance of the plant. The contrast between the dark shining green of the upper-surface of the leaf, and 2 soft, dense, white, velvety tomentum beneath, very remarkable. Judging by the perfectly en appearance of the leaves and inflorescence, w in the case of the underside of the leaves, were encrusted with sea-salt, it should prove a capi plant for seaside planting in the milder parts of the M.

CORRECTED AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR THE ENSU- ING WEEK, DEDUCED FROM THE OBSERVATIONS OF FORTY-THREE YEARS, AT CHISWICK.— 61°.4. As many of our readers may be aware, a controversy, not remark- able for amenity, has been carried on recently in the columns of Nature as to the origin of the florists’ Cineraria. On the one hand, it is asserted that Senecio cruenta, and Senecio cruenta alone, was the parent of the existing forms. On the other it is contended that the Cineraria as we now know it, had a complex origin, and was the result of a crossing o crossings between Senecio (or Cineraria) cruenta and various other species. One controversialist relies upon historical evidence, the other brushes it away as of no validity. Unfortunately the origin of the Cineraria, in of date, lies outside the memory of most of those still living, so that little or no personal testimony is avail- able, and the written records are, to say the least, conflicting. The points in dispute, we may add, could easily be settled at Kew, or in some other of our botanic gardens, by a few ex- periments in cross - fertilising the various species, These experiments could be made with due precautions against records of accuracy, the want of both which undoubtedly invalidates the entire trustworthiness of some, at The Origin of the Cineraria. * whether what we call species (whatever we may mean) may arise from cross-breeding and selec- tion, or from selection only. It is, we think, unfortunate that the Cineraria elopm have been keenly watched by the present gene- ration, and the records of which are certainly mot to be dismissed as the ancient history so lightly considered by one of the disputants, In any case, we believe that students of evolu- tion have at their disposal a vast mass of infor- an tice, and which, when duly winnowed, and “ correc- tion” applied for inevitable errors, will be found of the greatest value. Cultivators, wee within certain limitations, have been At the re a Mr. DYER, we now publish the following communication, and shall probably have some further information to offer on the who believe in the single origin of the Cineraria, R writes:“ The recent discussion on this subject has been notioed in the Gar- deners’ Chronicle, I should be glad therefore to a tke inclosed article, printed as long ago as 27 [1826], reproduced.

Uncertainty still prevails, owing in a great I ‘ties As, written, has been à disturbing element in all our osloulations—as we have seen those effeots were very varied in their character ; all parts of the kingdom in some degree suffer- ing, but some more severely than others, Stan- dard eruate his year re was no chance, of course, f doing anything else but pruning very hard, but was find how 82 pen Roses broke away from the base ; this ially in the case of Teas, which, "though rally su to more tender than H.P.’s, have, where they have sur- vived the frost, shown great vigour. long after the 22 started for growth came on that long period of drought which has, I fear, considerably injured our prospects; we have now been six weeks without any rain worth speaking of, and to plants already orippled by the hard winter, it has been a trying time. Coupled with drought, there has been a continued spell of east shapely buds, very hot days, the thermometer rising to 765 and the atmosphere perfeotly dry; this must lead ress, while the nights are cold. Thus, on the night of the 12th there was frost in some parts of this parish (East Kent), blackening the Potatos, and making the young fronds of the Brake on the common look as if they had been burned—so that we cannot as yet say we are out of the wood. There is one subject on which there is generally a great of „ Viz,, the of aphides, but in this "year there is an almost unani- mous opinion from all parts of the country that the aged was rarely, if ever, so clean, Ihave! hadin my o T have seen a single aphis as yet on my plants; yet there better have had ss yet; for, generally „ in the ` southern parts 15 the kingdom we are — out of 762 THE GARDENERS’ CHRONICLE.

It must be admitted that, were it the rule rather than the rare excep- tion for Bamboos to be as badly affected as they have been this year, more than half of them ert not e worth cultivation. I think, however, some co solation is to be derived from the. fact shat such things as our native Gorse, the common Ling and other Heaths, have suffered more permanent injury than two-thirds of the Bamboos have done. Of the three dozen or so kinds w e fa ase Chronic more have suffered only a very tem- mainder, some ad killed to the ground, whilst the others have had the old stems so severely injured that it is un- likely those particular stems will ever regain their former luxuriant leafage, although new leaves are f them, however, are sending up except one or two the visible effects of the frost will have disappeared in a few months, In the following notes I have run through the species and varieties in the order of their comparative hardiness, mentioning those si that have come through the fight with least dam rundinaria g Mitford (A. “kn, Hort.). —In the Gardeners’ Chronicle for March 10, 1894, I mentioned this Rambo under t as Khasia Hills it is a native of China, It appears to have first been introduced to Europe four or five years ago through the Botanic Garden at St. ae Mr, .

This variety is to be found growing like the old R. mthiopica i in “ome „clumps in low-lying swampy land, isolated specimens, and always close large The tubers are always from 9 to 18 inches wherever it is possible for it to do so, they get under- eath the boulders, The soil is mostl loam, with a surfacing of leaf-mould and rotten wood, The only place in which I have found them is what is known as the Low or Fever Country, with a very hot and rainy summer, and a very mild, dry winter, This tuber, like the Caladium, loses all its fibrous roots annually.

For vie past, at great cost, an attempt has been made by the Science and Art Department of South Kensington to teach agriculture, Little has come of it, as might have been e » instruction wa conveyed through lectures and text-books, and the students, for the most part, were 790 sssistant-tenohers i in elementary schools. After r and getting up certificates gran These certificates entitled the possessors to hold classes, give lectures, and earn government Many of the students were were at once supposed to grants on their own account Surely cottage gardening is not to be taught in this way. One may as well try to teac without leather, or carpentry without tools, as gardening without the soil and implements to work it with, No! the South Kensington Depart- ment has done good work in Science and Art. The material was present, the apparatus, the teachers, but in agricul- ‘done towards teaching rudimentary agriculture, or cottage gardening, rie a tithe of the thousands of pounds already exp had been employed in promoting real ee on the land itself. It is gratifying to observe the interest taken in technical education by many of the County Councils. Here again. however, there is a danger t that the so- called “technical education” will coasist merely of talk about it. If here and there, about each county, a plot of land adjoining the school-building could be ‘cultivated under a thoroughly practical teacher, a mising might be made, If the could not only talk sensibly of the matter, but give practical instraction in gardening, and explain, in an intelligent way, the properties of the soil, the chemistry of air and water, the necessity for cultiva- tiov, and the essential conditions of healthy plant life? One hears on all sides that cuckoo-cry of “ back to the land.” For most farm-labourers who leave their cottage homes to crowd into the towns, I fear there is no way back. But when once the farm- labourer has discovered the pleasure and profit to be derived from skilfal and thorough cultivation of a cottage garden, be will erty little further induce- ment to remain on the lan I had the oer of Mei lately, to the fourth lecture of a i culture.” It was feat in a Bedfordshire village (Turvey), uader the auspices of the Bedford County Council. The lecturer, Mr. Norman Evans, was evidently acquainted with the practice as well as the theory of gardening, and was prepared to demon- strate when required to do so by his hearers. It was a small audience—scarcely more than a dozen but they were 2 anxious to learn, paid interesting kion with reference to gardening as a sik however, chat the little bill is to ba regretted that lectures of the „take on.” Except for re rose would-be-learners present, the lectures had no interest; and, as, a rule, better the lecturer ey m latent suspicion is aroused as to his actual knowledge and ability. No! let the County neils start here and there a school garden, and and there a model cottage garden and allotment, and will be a quickly nen gp pirane. 85 poe ie 2 in the of imp ts loze by is a row of a dozen cottages, and the first three are 3 * under-gardenere, who vie with each other in and bright colours Lea the spring — pet seu of closely-kept turf, THE GARDENERS’ was followed by ate Boies tufts of them by the walk; then came a host of golden Daffodils,” of Alyssum 4 Aap 185 and a Now come the great deep crimson blooms of the Pxony. Allow me briefly to recapitulate the outlines of a scheme put 5 ba years a in 8 columns of an evening pape Echo above the pen - name of „Luke Ellis.“ Tt Teledu that tte ps: a of what was called Elementary Agriculture,” should be of a practical nature. The subject cannot be taught effectively from text- dot and vivd voce lessons. The material ee be present, the implements and the living plan There are an least two systems which might be adopted in the hopes of what may be called the “School Garden ”:—I. Work in common under a eee or teacher the plan followed in . Work on plot. The latter system is far preferable. The land should be rent free, and the implements provided free of charge. The garden should be regarded as an open-air class-room. te work must be done under the superintendence a properly- qualified teacher, who would decide Poet ele fruit, or flowers might be grown, and the area allotted to each. The crop should be the absolute property of the tenant, whether for home consumption or sale, as he thinks fit Perhaps, however, an extract from the late Mr. Jenkin’s report to the Royal Commission on technical instruction will enable the reader to have an idea as to the plan suggested for adoption in rural schools. It is taken from a pamphlet (now out of print) entitled The School Garden: a means of technica ucation for the farm labou: Each school in a rural district should have, as conveniently accessible as possible, a plot o d 1 ugh to allow very boy over a args faci (say 9) a a plot of from — to five poles The size of the plot would, of conme 3 3 the area at disposal, upon t and quality of the soil, and also a rowed the ial ability, intelligence, and industry of the t Half FR os plot might be reserved for cereals, roots, or vegetables commonly grown in the neigh- bourhood, the remaining half should be divided into two equal parts, one of them to be treated as an experimental garden, in which the efficacy of manures and the qualities of new vegetables might be tested, The Se fourth might be cropped according to the taste of the tenant. anced accounts of the time, labour and money expended should be kept, and a diary in which the various operations should be noted. This should be called for and examined by Her Majesty’s Inspector on his visits to the school.
