weather, parched up. Caoutchouc cloth formsa good 
tensive Stock of | protection against external moisture, but equally 
prevents the escape of any that is enclosed, aud that 
is apt to be the case with things packed up in the 
t is not an easy matter to send them across the 
ength and breadth of India in the different seasons 
of the year, the country being at one time inun- 
dated with rain, at another scorched up with heat, 
and having only a few months of comparatively 
In the moist weather, roots, 
Cotton in this case is useful in 
absorbing moisture, but is objectionable for this very 
Lord | reason in the dry weather, though having the

The idea of enveloping some seeds and bulbs in 
wax originated in the difficulty of sending such 
seeds asthe Spanish Chesnut and the Fil bert, , which 
it was desirable to introduce into the Himalayas. 
Of the Chesnuts, all those at first sent were either 
dried up, or completely decayed. It appeared that 
if they could be hermetically Sealed up, there seemed 
no good reason why they should not arrive in good 
order even in the most distant parts of India. A 
thick coating of gum was first thought of; but it did 
not answer at first from being too diluted. We 
know not why if seeds are stuck into a thick muci- 
lage and allowed to dry, it should not answer. Wax 
just alittle melted was then tried, and with complete 
success in repeated attempts. The Chesnuts and 
Filberts were described as arriving at Bombay, Cal- 
cutta, and Saharunpore, in a perfectly sweet and 
fresh state. Both vegetated, and those sent to the 
aharunpore Botanic Garden are 
now growing in the Himalayan 
Mountains. The wax has also 
been employed for enveloping the 
ends of cuttings of fruit-trees, 
which have also arrived in aliving 
state; so much so, that Apples, 
Pears, and Plums sent in this way 
same locality ; and Zo doubt they 
i'wilt bear fruit there, as a Rib- 
stone Pippin introduced about 
the year 1828 from Liverpool, 
bears very fine fruit, and was 
this year covered with thousands 
of Apples. The above facts may 
conveying to a distance seeds 
and bulbs which are difficult of 
transmission.—Z. 
WE some time since (p. 293, 
1844,) brought under the notice 
of our readers the value of Corrzz- 
HICORY as a winter salad, and 
substitute for Endive. It may 
be interesting to some persons to 
be informed that this article is 
now introduced into Covent- 
garden Market, where it may be 
Ls il nglas z i 1| 
procured, at a very cheap rate, of 
Messrs. Grimtey and Co. We 
have tasted it, and find it far 
superior to the common Chicory, 
ap which is too bitter. Itisas de-

As several of our correspondents have this week 
taken up the subject of Polmaise Heating, we shall 
defer any further remarks upon it till next week. 
In our Paper for the 10th of January, is an ex- 
tract from the * Journal of the Horticultural Society," 
detailing the results of the growth of bulbs trans- 
mitted from India, and sent from the India House 
to the gardens of the Society, and of which one 
half was packed in cotton, and the other enveloped 
with wax. It is shown that the latter, though they 
had been confined in the wax for three months, 
appeared quite firm and fresh, and though they did 
not move for a month, yet afterw ards grew strong 
and healthy ; while those sent in cotton and brown 
paper had grown considerably in their transit, and 
when potted, grew first, but soon displayed symp- 
toms of debility. 
The above experiment originated in the success- 
ful results which attended the transmission of some 
seeds similarly enveloped in wax from the India 
House to different parts of India. "Though the 
mails give great facilities for the transmission of 
Near Qdiham, Hants, 
such things as far as the shores of that country, yet 
which, indeed, it might be easily mistaken when on 
the table. 3
