bia 108.—‘' The cultivation of the Vine in England 
is spoken of here, but this opportunity may be taken of 
stating that the degree of sweetness of Grapes is well 
known to depend on external circumstances, which will be 
spoken of further on, and that it is useless to introduce 
Vines from southern countries because the Grapes possess 
more sweetnes 
Page 111- salar We regard warmth not only asa stimulus 
of vegetation, but it is also extremely necessary for the 
solution of various substances with which the water comes 
in contact. It also sets free certain gases which the leaves 
take up, and through these sources of nourishment pro- 
motes the growth of plants. 
Page 112.—* 1f by ‘influence upon vegetation’ is 
meant the growth of the herbaceous 198 ts of the plant, 
and the development of the leaves and shoots, then it is 
right ; but we believe the time is past when any one would 
be satisfied with this kind of culture, which often con- 
att ates nothing more than the preservation of life in 
the plant. The perf vegetation of a plant consists in 
its bearing blossoms and fruit, and this, in the case of 
most plants, only takes place when the soil possesses a 
particular mineralogical constitution, In mere clay or in 
peat, Wheat would produce no ears, and many other plants 
neither blossoms nor fruit. 
“This experiment of our celebrated 
countryman Fintelman, only proves what is of great 
importance, that the leaves of plants which are forced 
require constantly a due degree of moisture, which does 
not stand in contrast with the temperature of the air of 
the place where it is employed. It proves also that the 
leaves and green parts of plants contribute especially to 
their nutrition. 
Page 112.—‘‘ The connection between bottom-heat and 
the goodness of Dutch salad is not denied; but it should 
also “be remembered that the Neth erlanders employ great 
care in the production of good seeds, and that the soil 
contains all those ingredients which the most perfect 
ve getation requires for “the production of the most perfect 
seeds, The great attention also which they pay to the 
airing their beds in the cultivation of salad-plants should 
not be forgotten. 
Page 114.—* The bark-bed is injurious, inasmuch as 
the temperature of the surface is liable to very consider- 
able change, and the regulating the same through turning 
over, often becomes too burdensome to the individual who 
has the care We prefer running through the bed- 
tubes of hot-water, as we are convinced of the utility of 
bottom-heat as well as the author, but we attribute to it 
no exclusive value, 
Page 119.—* Care should be taken that plants in pots 
have not too'great a quantity of moisture when they first 
begin to vegetate. 
Page 119.“ The necessity of a greater or less degree 
of moisture of the soil at the period when plants first begin 
to grow, depends upon their organization. To those 
yeaa in which the leaves provide the greatest portion 
of the nutrition, a moist atmosphere will be found more 
useful at the above-mentioned Period than a moist soil. 
Page 122.— Since we know that the rain-water of our 
own climate carries with it carbonate of Ammonia, and 
that that of Ones al climates contains nitrate of Ammonia, 
nd that through the carbonie acid which is contained ih 
n-water, plants derive a considerable quantity of carbon, 
we can easily imagine how it is that vegetation in tropigal 
lands makes such extraordinary progress after a rajn 
and if we add to this the other especial climatic cirenm- 
stances, we shall find that the result will be similar t¢ the 
vegetation with us, of rain during a tempest fo.

Page 123.—" In France, in the Vine districts, where 
frequently water collects in great quantities at a certain 
depth in the earth, the standard fruit-trees are planted 
upon an, under-layer of stones, which are covered with 
earth, and in this manner the roots of the plants are kept 
from too much moisture, and the water is drained away. 
Page 127.—‘‘ Justus Liebig says that certain diseases 
of trees, as the so-called honey-dew, are evidently pro- 
duced by a disproportion in the cazotised and non-azotised 
matters which act as the food of plants. It would reward 
the labour to put both views to the test of experiment, 
and we believe the result would be in fayour of the latter,
