from Beurrc d'Aremberg fertilised by Passe Colmar. It is/'a 

 noble Pear, of large size, and unusually bossed and uneven'in 

 its outline. The skin is grass-green even when ripe, and some- 

 times acquires a yellowish tinge, and very much covered' with 

 russet, exposing the green ground only in mottles. Tb^ flesh 

 is yellowish, rather coarse-grained like that of Beurrfi de Ranee, 

 very juicy and melting, but not buttery ; sweet, vinous, and 

 with a very powerful inelen or -vanilla flavour, which is not 

 only peculiar but higbly agreeable, ilt is a splendid Pear, and 

 ripens in the end of November and the beginning of December. 



With a liberality which we are sure will be appreciated, Mr. 

 Huyshe has presented the entire stock of this admirable Pear 

 to the Royal Horticultural Society of London for distribution 

 among the Fellows. [Toung trees as well as cuttings of it will 

 be balloted for on the 5th of February.]" '••i-A\\i:\^' /

 'fully to hybridise the parents, but, says Mr. Huyshe, "I am 

 careful now in sowing only the round pips, not those that are 

 flat-sided. I have only one more tree, a hybrid between Beurre 

 d'Aremberg and Passe Colmar, from a flat-sided seed, and the 

 difference is quite wonderful." — (Hong's Gardeners' Year Book.) 



'(KI& ni ?f:- biTB >^tio! f,,{jf,' llBiy-^PlbER ON WALL TREES. 



I n\vE long used a wash with soft soap in it to paint the 

 trees, and it answers admirably, though it does noli, prevent 

 red spider. Can I not, by mixing with the lime arid, soot for 

 washing the wall some small proportiou of coal tar, o^r, if that 

 would be injurious, say of some other stuff as disagreeable to 

 insects, form a poisonous wash, which would defeir eyen red 

 spider from laying eggs on the wall, and at the s^me 'time be 

 innocuous to the trees ? — H. H. .. ■')'■-'. \ 



[It will not do to mix even the smallest portion of coal l(ir in 

 your wash for the walls. It would be injui-ious until so tho- 

 roughly dried that it would give off no deleterious fumes, and 

 when it came to that condition it would not deter red spider 

 and other insects from depositing their eggs. We know of no 

 material, poisonous or otherwise, that will keep insects from 

 doing so, as the substances which would ileter insects would, 

 we fear, also huit vegetation. You rightly judge that red 

 spider is deterred by sulphur, but that is chiefly by the fumes 

 sent off by heat^a^the red spider will b^.^s jn^jryas possible, 



will make its webs, and deposit its eggs amongst nodules of pure 

 sulphur. If a strong heat played on the sulphur the insects 

 would theii be rendered uncomfortable, but even then we have 

 foimd them seemingly enjoying themselves on it about o feet 

 from the glass. When a wall is plastered with sulphur, and a 

 strong sun plays on it, the fumes then given off are disagree- 

 able to them.'J , 



IMPROVED S.VDDLE-BACK BOILER. 



In your answers tb correspondents aVptkge 491, Deefeber -25, 

 y<iu state that-^' onaonapxasenMifi of the saddle-back would be 

 a stout three-inch pipe connecting the two sides of the boiler 

 at the end farthest from the furnace door ; . . . one tap would 

 then empty tiie boiler." I have seen this plan adopted several 

 times in different places, but it always proved unsatisfactory. 

 The pipe, being so much exposed to the. direct action of the
