The following are a few of the finest new varieties; most of tlicin wo have proved, and 

 can vouch for their being first-rnte :

A Seedling Apple. — Tl. B. Wap.rex, Esq, of Alabama, Gen. Co.. IST. Y., very kindly sent 

 US a box of handsome Russet Apples, about the size of our Golden Russet, (described in 

 some of the books " English Golden Eusset,^') but more of a grey color, like the Pomme 

 Gris. It is very regularly formed and fair, but although of good (juality does not equal 

 the Golden Russet in richness. It keeps well, and from what Mr. Warken says of its pro- 

 ductiveness, it is undoubtedly worthy of cultivation. Mr. W. says: — "The tree bears a 

 large crop every year; (this year seven barrels). The Fruit is good sized, fair and smooth. 

 The samples sent, are, perhaps, rather above the average size. They keep well till June. 

 The tree is about twenty years old, and there can bo no doubt of its being a seedling." 



The Xew York Ilorticultnral Societ}', like the Crystal Palace, has been thoroughly re- 

 suscitated by Mr. Bahnum, and peojjle are crying out tliat Bakxim's name will give success 

 to any thing. This, however, is a great mistake. If Barxum would sit down and fold his 

 arms, and merely wish for success, or beg assistance, his name would very soon lose its 

 prestige. This talk about men's names doing this or that, is perfectly childish. Success, in 

 everything, depends upon well laid plans carried out with boldness and energy. Baenum's 

 programme for the re-opening of the Crystal Palace shows that he depends upon his name 

 for nothing. Societies and Institutions that are sighing for a Barnum to animate their life- 

 less bodies, would do well to observe his management. 



We learn from the English papers that Mrs. Lawrexce, of Ealing Park, has disposed of 

 her magnificent collection of jilants, in consequence of delicate health. She had no less 

 than tAventy-three glass houses, and her plants have, for many years, been the finest in all 

 England.
