 name of the paper from which we quoted 

 on page iii, and we gladly correct the 

 error referred to by our worthy contem-

 and fellow member, Dean Hole, of Rochester. 

 The portrait is also reproduced. I am gratified at 

 the compliment paid by my excellent Canadian 

 confrere to myself; to the eminent Dean, the rose 



grower, and to the Agricultural Economist by 

 this reproduction. But my gratification is some-

 friend of the Canadian Horticulturist please do us 

 the justice to correct the error and give us our 

 lawful title?— E. O. G.
