At the last meeting of the Caledonian Horticultural Society, 

 an additional report was read from Messrs. Hay, MacdonaUi. 

 and Neill, who, at the desire of the Societv, paid a horticultural 

 visit to some parts of the continent. The report stated, that 

 grafts of nearly fifty new pears, and about forty new apples, of 

 the most approved kinds, raised by M. Van Mons at Briissel.N, 

 had been received last spring; that they had been grafted on 

 suitable stocks, in. the nurseries of Messrs. Dickson and Com- 

 pany, and Dicksons Brothers, and with perfect success. It also 

 mentioned that a collection of cones of some of the new specie* 

 of pinetree, originally brought from the heights of South Ame- 

 rica by the celebrated traveller Humboldt, and raised a good 

 many years by M. Parmentier, Mayor of Enghien, had been re- 

 ceived from the Mayor, and were now under trial.
