Chiswick, Mr. Glendenning. — On the Turnham Green 

 road, but a few rods from the London Horticuhural Society's

 the Bartlett, — a name which does not belong to it, — but one 

 which, from its brevity, it will be hard to change for the origi- 

 nal, Williams's Bon Chretien. The original tree was still 

 growing, in good health, and produces good crops.

 trast with the L. jacobse us. We here saw a variety of the 

 Ticoma Jasminoides, with pale blush or pink flowers, of
