 HOLY ROOD TIDE. 263 



SEPT. 19. SS. Januahius, bishop of Benevento, 

 &c. martyrs, a.d. 305.

Obs. St. Januarius, a native some say of Naples, others of Bene- 

 vento, was bishop of this latter city. When the persecution of 

 Dioclesian broke out, this holy bishop determined to visit the Chris- 

 tians who were imprisoned, in order to comfort and encourage them. 

 He did not escape the notice of the inquisitive keepers, who gave in- 

 formation. He was immediately apprehended, and conducted to 

 Puzzioli, loaded with heavy irons. He was beheaded near that 

 town with his companions. — The miracle of the blood of St. Januarius 

 is too well known to need any particular description.

As this is the period when the greatest number of Apples begin 

 to be coloured, and to be fit for gathering in succession, we shall 

 take this opportunity of subjoining a select list proper for a garden of 

 ordinary size ; for the almost innumerable varieties cultivated in 

 orchards, we must refer to Forsyth's Book on Trees, and to the 

 Transactions of the Horticultural Society of London : — The Early 

 Codlings, the Junetings, Golden Pippin, Ripston Pippin, Golden 

 Rennet, Nonpareils, Nonesuch, Sykehouse, Aromatic Pippin, Win- 

 ter Pearmain, Royal Pearmain, Lown's Pearmain, Lemon Pippin, 

 Pomme Grise, Margil, French Crab, Russetins of different sorts, 

 Baking Codlings, and Redstreaks. 



If the size of the garden will admit of more, we may add the 

 Duck's Bill, Golden Knob, Winter Hedstreak, Summer Pearmain, 

 Red Pearmain, Pomroy, Pomme d'Api Bursdoff, Cat's Head, and 

 Norfolk Beaufin. But the varieties of the Apple are innumerable, 

 as they are all Lusus; and come from seeds at first, per haphazard, 

 being afterwards propagated by Cions, or, as gardeners call them, 

 Grafts. 



The gathering in of Apples, Pears, and other fruits, at this season, 

 is a very interesting time, and perhaps connected with as many 

 pleasing: associations as the employment of any time of year. The 

 light gales of September usually strew a large quaatity of ungathered 

 .fruit on the ground, which should be used first.
