Tin: war with Russia has already doubled the 

 price of garden mats, and will, probably, destroy the 

 trade altogeher. Should this prove to be the case 

 gardeners, the great consumers of Russia mats, must 

 find a substitute, for bast is necessary to their 

 business. Already a sub ance called Cuba bast has 

 found its way into the market ; but it is too weak 

 and too dear. At the last meeting of the Horti- 

 cultural Society, Messrs. Paul, of Cheshunt, exhi- 

 bited samples of a better material, for it was softer 

 and stronger, which we understand can be supplied 

 at a much lower rate ; and this appears to be the 

 best sul-tance of the kind at present on sale. 



But at the same meeting were exhibited by Dr. 

 Royle other basts, from the East Indies, incom- 

 parably stronger than either of the preceding. They 

 came from Arracan, where they appear to bear 

 the common name of Shaw. All tropical d:imp
