"uciiiei iecem examples throw any new light upon 

 the result that the operator has a right to anticipate 

 from his experiments. 



Gjertner assures us that, in the course of his very 

 numerous and much varied experiments he found 

 that no certain result can be anticipated. The late 

 Dean of Manchester and others have believed, on 

 the contrary, that upon the i l0 le the properties of 

 the male plant will be most conspicuous in the hybrid 

 To test the value of these op ions we take the 

 following eight cases in which the history of the 

 mule is known with certainty. For the sake of 

 brevity we venture here to employ the signs of 

 sexes m use among botanists, viz., J for the male, 

 $ for the female :

MEETINGS FOR TBE ENSUING WEEK 

 WKrwasDAY, July 11— Horticultural Gardens 



P.M. 



The crosses which appeared on the Exhibition 

 tables of the Horticultural Society last month ex- 

 cited unusual attention, especially the beautiful 

 Princess Royal Rhododendron from NetKl. Veitch.

4. M u lk. A quilcgia fragran t i-californica. * 

 Aquilegia fragrans ; $ A. californica. 

 Result.^ Habit and flower of <J ; colour inter- 

 mediate. 



Mule. Rhododendron javanico -jast. ifiorvm, or 



Princess Royal. 



Rhod. javanicum ; $ It. jasminiflorum. 

 Result. Form of flower intermediate ; colour de- 

 rived from (J by the separation and retention 

 of its rose and the rejection of its yellow (a very 

 curious, and as far as we know, unique case). 

 Leaves and habit intermediate. 



6. Mule. Mandirola Roezli. 

 Scheeria mexicana ; $ Gesnera zebrina. 

 Result. Colour derived from $ ; whole habit and 

 leaves from $ . 



7. Mile. Mandirola picturata.

 Result. Inflorescence and colour of £ ; leaves

In these instances, taken perfectly at random, it 

 is evident that for the most part the 3 predomi- 

 nates, especially in Nos. Y, 2, 4, 7 and 8; and this 

 supports Dean Herbert's views ; but in 3, and 6, 

 the effects of the $ are most conspicuous ; and in 

 No. 5 the issue is nearly equalised ; even here, 

 however, the colour is derived from the $, as also 

 is the case in 1, 3, 4, G, 8, and in a less conspicuous 



cases. The most curious result 

 and 7 Gesnera zebrina overcame 

 the peculiarities of its consorts, whether used as 

 (J or ?. This points to a conclusion not yet 

 drawn, viz., that in some cases it is merely because 

 of its inherent vigour of constitution that a species 

 prevails, and not because it is $ . 



Is it not worth the while of experienced 

 hybridisers to endeavour to multiply this kind of 

 evidence, and to endeavour to extract from it the 

 general facts which possibly lie concealed among 

 the loose statements with which alone in so many 



we now have to deal ? Were that prac- 



degree in the oth 

 that in both 6

chance 



We throw out the suggestion for their consideration ; 

 especially for that of such ingenious experimen- 

 talists as our Isaac Andersons, Trevor Clarkbs, 



ettcheb 



A feu- weeks since we bad the satisfaction to 

 announce that Lord Palmerston had conferred the 

 important appointment of Master of the Mint upon 

 one of our most learned and le men of science. 

 It is with no little pleasure that we find ourselves 

 again called upon to report a similar act, on the 

 part of his lordship's government, in the Royal 

 Botanic Garden, Kew. 



It has long been obvious that the duties of the 

 learned director of this great national establishment 

 were becoming overwhelming, and beyond the 

 power of the most indefatigable public officer to 

 execute without assistance. The garden, the plea- 

 sure grounds, or rather the park, the infinite multi- 

 tude of nlants from all Quarters assembled in the
