 Esq., also sent fine fruit of this variety, but the colouring was imperfect ; 

 Mr. Davis, of Oak Hill, and Mr. Harrison both had good Black 

 Hamburghs ; and so had Mr. Dods, gardener to Sir J. Cathcart, and 

 Mr. Slowe, gardener at Bayfordbury. Mr. Tillyard, gardener to the 

 Right Hon. the Speaker, produced good bunches of the same kind of 

 Grape, and so did Mr. Turner, of Streatham. Very fine examples of Black 

 Prince came from Mr. Hill, gardener to R. Sneyd, Esq., Mr. Turnbull, 

 and Mr. Constantine, gardener at Hillingdon. Mr. Turnbull had 

 Muscats, large both in bunch and berry, but not nearly ripe. Mr. Cook,

 the latter were unripe. Frontignans came from Mr. Parr, of Gloucester-

 of British Queen, Trollop's Victoria, and Myatt's Eleanor. Mr. Con- 

 stantine also sent examples of British Queen. Among other kinds we 

 noticed the new sort called Sir Harry. Melons were numerous and

28. JuNiPERUs Lycia — THE Ltcian Juniper. 



This fine Juniper, which we figure by permission of Mr. Gambler 

 Parry, from a specimen at Highnam Court, is marked as we have 

 named it in Mr. Parry's Pinetum, though our opinion is, that it is 

 phoenicea ; but as we had no opportunity of seeing the berries, we 

 cannot say we are correct, except from judging by the habit of the 

 tree. If it is Lycia, the berries will be soft, nearly black when ripe, 

 and covered with a beautiful glaucous bloom, whereas the berries of 

 phoenicea are hard, pale yellow, and shining.
