Helene, " is a most excellent high flowered pear. 3d size, 

 1st quality. Pupe in December." — Ed.^ 



Uvedale's St. Germain, Syn. Bolivard, Belle Angevine, 

 Pound, of America. 



Citron des Carmes, (or Madeleine.) Syn. d'Bondy. 



Passe Colmar, Syn. Passe Colmar dore, Passe Colmar 

 gris. 



Mr. Manning also makes the tiannas a synonyme of the 

 Gushing. This we think must be an error, as the trees in 

 Mr. Manning's collection, and from which this variety has 

 been widely disseminated, were from scions obtained for Mr. 

 Manning from the original tree, in Boston, by Mr. P. B. 

 Hovey, Jr., and that tree was imported from France nearly 

 thirty years ago. The true Hannas, so named by Mr. Man- 

 ning, must be a different fruit from the Gushing. 



Deasnas. — This variety is mis-spelled in your report of 

 fruits from us at the annual exhibition of the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society. You have it Dumas ; it is a synonyme 

 of Plumbgastel. [Our report was made from the record 

 books of the committee. — Ed.]^ 



Apples. — Mr. Manning has also proved the following syn- 

 onymes of apples. Mr. Downing, in his Fruit and Fruit 

 Trees^ has made Wolmans Harvest as a synonyme of the Sum- 

 mer Rose. We have proved the same synonyme ; and the 

 Lippincott apple of Kenrick's Orchardist^ we have found to 

 be identical with the Summer Rose. 



My father suspected the identity of the English Sweeting, 

 an apple received from Mr. Lyman, and the Ramsdel's Red 

 Pumpkin Sweet, of Kenrick and Downing, and, during the 

 past season, I have found his surmise correct. — R. M.

Brooklitie, Residence of Col. Perkins^ Feb. 13th — It is 

 some years since our last notice of this place. Since then, 

 there has been a change in the management of the garden, 

 and for two years it has been under the charge of Mr. Quant.
