green gages and damsons. Some of the summer varieties of apples are a 

 crop but, cenerally speaking, will be found deficient. Filberts are plentiful, and 

 •will be abundant in due season. Apricots, peaches, nectarines, and all wall 

 fruits are also a good crop, except grapes, which are very late and uncertain. 

 Pine-apples and hot-house grapes are now in good supply, and of excellent 

 quality.— C. G. M., Aug. 21. 1838.

Art. VI. Obituary. 



Francis Bl.ukie, M.H.S. — By a letter received from Mrs. Blaikie, dated 

 Paris, August 6., we learn that this venerable horticulturist and excellent 

 man died in that city on the 19th of July, in his eighty-ninth year, and was 

 buried on July the 21st. We trust that some of Mr. Blaikie's friends will 

 enable us to give a memorial of Mr. Blaikie's life; which, considering that he 

 was in France during the whole period of the revolution, is one of extra- 

 ordinary interest.
