side being deeper and less pitted with little excavations." The leaves are 

 crenated, with reniform glands ; the flowers veiy small and of a pale dull 

 red colour; and the fruit large, roundish, and inclining to oval, the colour 

 of the skin is a deep violet or blood colour, when exposed, with minute 

 brownish specks, the flesh is whitish and melting, and the stone pale, 

 middle-sized, and oval. 



50. The Summer Golden Pippin. " One of the best of our early autumn 

 apples, ripening in great abundance, especially on dwarf trees, upon Paradise 

 stocks towards the end of August." It resembles externally the Old Golden 

 Pippin, though not equal in flavour to that fruit; it is, however, a pleasant 

 and useful variety. 



51. The Madeleine Pear. This variety is excellent, bears freely on a 

 standard, matures its fniit in the third week of July, and, if gathered before 

 it is overripe, keeps for a few days. Tt much resembles the Citron de 

 Sierenz, from which it chiefly differs in the wood and leaves. The wood is 

 bright, clear, of a reddish brown colour, with a few scattered prominent 

 pale spots; the leaves are cordate and ovate; the fruit is middle-sized, 

 turbinate, and with a thickening on one side of the stalk which is about an 

 inch long ; the eye is slightly hollowed, and the skin of a yellowish green, 

 with a little light bloom on it, and on specimens much exposed a slight tinge 

 of red. The flesh is white, melting, sweet, and high flavoured. 



52. The Downton Strawberry. A well established and excellent straw- 

 berry, an abundant bearer, and the berries possessing a highly aromatic 

 flavour, '' derived from the variety from the pollen of which it originated." It 

 is rather late in coming into bearing, and should be fully ripened to be eaten 

 in perfection. 



This number completes the volume, to which an index is given. An ad- 

 vertisement states, that " it will be the duty and desire of those who have the 

 management of the work, to make it worthy of the favodrable reception it 

 has hitherto received." 



No. XIV. {the first of Vol. II.) for December, contains 



53. The Hoary Morning Apfle. Very handsome and useful ; sup- 

 posed to have originated in Somersetshire; it ripens towards the end of 

 October, and is adapted for growing upon the Paradise stock. The fruit is 

 rather large, round, depressed, angular, with a very close plaited eye. 



54. The President Peach. A rich melting juicy fruit, and valuable on ac- 

 count of the late period of its maturity, being the end of September ; it 

 requires a south wall, and must be well ripened before being gathered. The 

 fruit is large and approaching to oval, with a shallow suture. 



55. The Cosford Nut. This variety is highly deserving of cultivation, 

 bearing abundantly and having a remarkably thin sliell. The nut is large 

 and oblong ; and the tree grows vigorously, and the branches upright. 



56. The Miller's Burgundy Grape. One of the most ancient varieties," 

 and commonly grown in France as a wine grape. It is very high flavoured, 

 with short thick bunches, and black roundish berries, ripens at all seasons 

 with certainty, and is the earliest of all the varieties known, except the Black 

 July. 



No. XV. for January, 1829, contains 



57. The Coc's Plum. This together with the Washington are superior 

 to any of the oldest varieties ; it is a great bearer, and should be trained 

 upon a west or east wall to insure a crop. The fruit is oval, large, and 

 yellow; the leaves are oval and flat; and the wood is smooth and of a deep 

 purplish brown. 



58. The Cornish Aromatic Ajyple. This is a good bearer, but subject to 

 cankers. The fruit is large and roundish, covered with a soft brownibh 

 russet on the shaded side, sprinkled with pale brown dots; the leaves are 

 middle-sized and ovate; and the wood is of a chestnut brown colour. 



59. The CapiaumoKt Pear. A most delicious fruit, rii)cning in the middle
