from the other, qaincunx fashion. The richer the soil the better they i^ill 

 grow. Subjects of taller growth are the Sycamore, which grows quickly, aud 

 stands the sea breezes well, also the Norway Muple. both bein^- deciduous 

 trees. The Austrian Pine and Corsican Pine are everjjreen trees, and good 

 for shelter. They are of rapid growth, and stand well.

 Golden Banner is a self golden-leaved kind without a fjreen disc or any traces 

 of zone. A\'hen the flowers are removed it is probably the best golden-leaved 

 bedding plant known. Yellow Boy ii au excellent yeliow-leaved variety. 



Pot Poi'iuu {Btrtha). — If you refer to page ^i^ of oiir present volume you 

 \Till Und a receipt. 



Glazing a Peach House (Suhscriher). — We should prefer transparent 

 glass. 



REMO\iJiG Evergreens {Sutton Coldjield). — You can if you wish remove 

 the Hollies from the hedge, and the best time to do it is in May or June. Cut 

 round the roots now, and move them in the lirst week of next June. 



Weeds in Manure {F.yiason). — U the manure is well fermented there is 

 every probabUity that the bulbs of the wild Garlic and the seeds of Docks 

 will be destroyed. We cannot suggest any other remedy. 



Insects on Pear Leaves {H. P., Strood).—lt is the Slimy Grab (Selaudria 

 ffithiops). (L. J. A'.).— If you will send us the insect we will name it, aud 

 a remedy, if such exists. 



Mkalv Bug on Stephanoti3 (W. W.). — Cutting the plant back may be 

 deferred a month, or until you can have it and the roof thoroughly clfaued. 

 In the meantime syringe forcibly with water. In cutting-back and thiuning- 

 ont, leave as much of the young healthy growth as you can, and clean the 

 plant twice or thrice before tying it up to the roof. It is the most difficult 

 of all insects to get rid of when it obtains a hold. 



Gnawed Rhododendron and Laurel Lea^-xs (fl. D.Hawkhiirst). — We 

 cannot inform you what insect has gnawed the leaves of these plants, indeed 

 we much question whether the mischief is caused by insects. It may be by 

 snails, or even by the action of rain and sun. The trees should be caref ally 

 examined after dark. — I. O. W. 



Names of Fruits (n't(fiam Thompson). — Both No. 1 and No. 3 ai-e the 

 Early Red Margaret or Red Joanneting. The White Joanneting is quite a 

 distinct sort. We have never met with the name Rather-ripe before, aud are 

 obliged to yon for the information. 



Names of Plants (J. B.).— Ampelopsis Veitchii. (H. if.).— 1, Eutoca 

 patuiiflora; 2, Alkanna species. {T. S.j. — Arrhenathemm avenaceum. (T.

BEDFOBD POULTBY SHOW. 

 This was held on July 31st, in conjunction with the Bedford- 

 sliire Agricultural Society's Show. It proved a great success, 

 although the morning was anything but promising. Just as the 

 poultry Judge commenced his duties the rain came down in 

 torrents, and poured through some parts of the large tent like a 

 sieve, more especially so just over the Hamburghs, which mis- 

 fortune, coupled with their inferiority, made them rather ob- 

 jects of pity than otherwise; but by the time the Exhibition 

 opened to the public the sun shone forth in his full radiance, 

 and by two o'clock a more beautiful day could not be desired. 

 W* could but observe that even with the great attractions of the 

 Coldstream Guards* band, the flower show, the stock, and the 

 horse ring, the poultry tent was the most crowded of all. It 

 contained many good specimens in the various classes, which 

 were shown in Mr. Billett's pens, and we noticed the zeal and 

 energy of the poultry sub-committee, who, with the assistance 

 of Mr. Billett, took every possible care of the specimens com- 

 mitted to their charge, and had the whole repacked and delivered 

 to the Railway Company the same evening.

HASLINGDEN POULTRY SHOW. 



This Show was held on July 31st, and, in point of entries 

 was a great success in all departments. It is long since this 

 Society was favoured with so fine a day, the weather having 

 been very wet at its meetings for many years. The pens for 

 poultry were ranged in single tiers along one side of the field, 

 and the birds were well attended to. We would, however, 

 draw attention to the objectionable system of puttiug straw on 

 the bottom of the pens, which in no way adds to the comfort of 

 the birds, aud in all cases serves as an impediment to the pro- 

 gress of those who have the awards to make. 



With true agricultural taste the largo varieties of poultry 

 were placed at the head of the list, and the specimens in no way 

 dishonoured the patronage, for finer or better-shown Geese, Tur- 

 keys, and Ducks it would be difficult to find at any show, the
