sorts ; the whole of these were assembled in one house ; and in full bloom 

 on the 20th of November, and the greater part of the varieties were in 

 equal perfection, closely trained against a south wall. 



The Pine plants are equal in luxuriance to any in the neighbourhood of 

 London, and in general every thing cultivated in the garden is in a pros- 

 perous state. In future numbers we expect to be more particular in our 

 details of this garden, and of the meetings and transactions of the society in 

 Regent Street. 



The prospectuses of two publications have been issued by the society j 

 the first is to contain correct delineations of the new or rare plants which 

 may be flowered in the garden at Chiswick ; and the second accurate deli- 

 neations of the fruits cultivated there.

' We expect in our next number to give a catalogue of the Ericse of Pro-

Scotch farming. One of the most spirited examples may be seen on the 

 farm of Kidbrooke, Blackheath, consisting of 620 acres, occupied by Mr. R. 

 Dickson from East Lothian. Mr. Dickson seems to possess abundant 

 capital, which is directed by adequate skill, and stimulated by the highest 

 spirit and love of his profession. In the appendix to Holdich's essay on 

 weeds, lately edited by Mr. Sinclair, is given an account of Mr. Dickson'* 

 mode of freeing a field of heavy soil from couch grass, without the aid of a 

 naked fallow. From this it appears that no cost is spared for the most 

 improved implements ; six being described as employed for the above pur- 

 pose, which together must have cost at least 120/. The most effective of 

 these implements is Moreton's revolving harrow. 



To render trees permanently fruitful. It has been suggested we believe 

 by Sennebier, that if a ring of bark were taken from the trunk of a rapid 

 growing tree, and replaced by a ring of bark from a tree of an allied species, 

 but of slower growth, it would have a tendency to operate like the process 

 of ringing without any of its inconveniences. Apply a ring of plum-tree 

 bark to a branch of peach-tree. 



Provincial Horticultural Societies are established at Cambridge, York, 

 Leeds, Liverpool, Winchester, and other places ; we should be happy to 

 receive some account of these societies, and from time to time a report of 

 their proceedings for the purpose of inserting them in the Gardener's 

 Magazine.
