Mr. Chapman, Gardener to J. B. Glegg, Esq., F.H.S., sent 

 wonderfully fine Neapolitan Cabbage Lettuces from Cheshire, and 

 a Providence Pine-apple, weighing 7 lbs. 13 oz. 



The Hon. W. F. Strangways contributed Eucalyptus bark, 

 from trees that had grown large enough in the open ground, at 

 Abbotsbury, in Dorsetshire, to bear stripping ; and wild Madder- 

 roots (Rubia peregrina), which, not being very particular as to soil, 

 he considered might possibly be grown with advantage on other- 

 wise unproductive land. 



A fumigator was exhibited by Mr. Geach ; it is on the principle 

 of Brown's, but the fire-box is fixed on the side, and the power 

 which works the fanners is wound up with a key, so that when 

 charged, and placed inside a house, it will go on working without 

 any attention whatever, until the house is filled with smoke, and 

 it has run down. The advantage is, that the operation can be 

 effected without there being any occasion for subjecting oneself to 

 the (to most people) disagreeable fumes of Tobacfo smoke.
