posed to the drenchinj^dewsof niglit, in ahammockslnng between two trees, 

 and'tliongh harrassed by privations in every iiirni, slill such was his iron 

 constitution, that (huing tlie wiioie five mouths of iiis stay, lie enjoyed 

 the most perfect health." 



In Article XV. under the head of Pomological Notices, we find 

 the following account of a new Peach, by Mr. Thompson : — 



" The Peche de Seniach is tiie name of this fruit; and it was received, by 

 the Horticultural Society, from M. Antlibert, nursiM-ynian at Tarascon (de- 

 j)artement des Bouciies liu Rhone.) It fruited fijr the first time, last season ; 

 and is a very fine large melting late sort. In llie garden of the Society there 

 are many hundreds of new sorts of (ruit that are nf)w coming into a bearing 

 state ; and, among tiiem, some tens may probai)ly be foimd excellent. These 

 the public will have an early opportunity of knowing and |)rocuring, as soon 

 as their merits are ascertained, in consequence of the arrangements you iiave 

 made with a view to that end." 



As new fruits, deserving of trial in England, Mr. Thompson recom- 

 mends the following Arnerican varieties. Apples: — Benoni, Early 

 Bough, (^Coxe), St. Lawrence, (Corse), Corse's Indian Prince, 

 (^Corse), Killam Hill, Hubbardston Nonsuch, Rawle's Janett, and 

 Striped June apple. Pears : — Dearborn's SeedHng, Gushing, (S. 

 Downer, Esq.), Dix, (S. D., Esq.), Gore's Heathcot, Wilkinson, 

 (S. D., Esq.), and Lewis, ( S. D., Esq.) Plums: — Bleeker's 

 Gage, Huling's Superb, Blue November Gage, and several of Mr. 

 Corse's varieties. All these are described from Mr. Kenrick's 

 American Orchardist. Their excellence will be proved in the 

 London Horticultural Society's Garden, at Chiswick, and their 

 merits made known through the Gardener's Magazine, 



For a collection of Pears, where the space is limited, Mr. Thomp- 

 son recommends the following : — 



"Jargonelle, IMavia Louise, Beiure de Capiaumont, Beurre Diel, Glout 

 morceau, Easter beurre, Bcurre ranee. These are all of first-rate excellence, 

 deserving the protection of walls, where such can be afforded ; but, witii the 

 exception of the jargonelle, they arc all haidy eitongh for standards, in any 

 climate tolerably good as regards the growth of this class of fruits. It would 

 hi. difficult to select fewer sorts than tiie above ; because some might prefer 

 a sort which would come fit for use in autmnn, others in winter or spring. 

 Several sorts may, however, be worked on the same tree, where the space 

 will not admit of one of each being jilanted. For instance, the BeiuTe de 

 Capiaumont is such a great and constant bearer (nothing to the coiitraiy has 

 been observed of it since it first began to bear in this coimtry), that a whole 

 tree would be more than sufficient for a small demand; it might, therefore, 

 be partly worked with Glout morceau or Easter bemre. It may be farther 

 remarked, tnat the Beurre Diel rerpiires to have the branches kejjt rather 

 thin, as otherwise, its large and abundant foliage becomes too dense for the 

 admission of the sun anil air to the fruit." 



Under the head of " Olitorial Notices," some new vegetables are 

 mentioned. A new Pea, called the D^Auvergne Pea, is said to be 

 excellent. It was sent to the London Horticultural Society, by M. 

 Vilmorin, of Paris. Seeds of vegetables and flowers ripened ex- 

 ceedingly well in England, last season.
