** In the present edition the following general marks have been employed in 

 addition to such as are explained under each separate head. 



When is prefixed to a name in Roman letters, instead of a number, it signifies that 

 the variety, having been ascertained to be of an inferior quality, is no longer cultivated 

 in the Society's Garden. 



When a blank precedes a name in Roman letters, instead of a number; it signifies 

 that the variety has either proved false, or has been lost, or for some other rea- 

 son is no longer in the Garden ; Correspondents of the Society are therefore in- 

 vited to send the Society cuttings of such varieties, provided they can vouch for their 

 authenticity. 



The names printed in small Roman letters are the same as that of the sort which 

 they immediately succeed. Those in Italics are synonyms in the Alphabetical ar- 

 rangement, and are repeated under the name to which they refer ; thus in the list of 

 Almonds " Sultan CL ccque tendre, see Doux a coque tendre" signifies that Sultan a c. t. 

 is the same sort as Doux a c. t., under which variety the former name is repeated 

 in small letters as a synonym.
