46. On saving the Seeds of some Culinary Vegetables and Orna- 

 mental Floivei's in Scotland. By the late Alexander Henderson, 

 Esq., Dec. 7. 1818. Read March 4. 1819. 



Mr. Henderson thinks that the seedsmen of Scotland 

 might save several varieties of seeds, which they are at present 

 accustomed to import from the Continent ; particularly the 

 early white flat Dutch turnip, and the yellow garden turnip. 

 Mr. Henderson states that he has been successful in saving 

 these and other seeds in his own nursery. 



47. On the Forcing of Sea-hale, and on the Culture of Sicilian 

 Broccoli, Sfc. By Edmund Cartwright, Esq. Read June 9. 1818. 

 About the end of October, plants of sea-kale are removed 



into boxes of common earth, and placed in a dark cellar, 

 out of the reach of frost. The shoots will come into use in 

 six oi' eight weeks ; and if three or four boxes follow in suc- 

 cession, at intervals of a month, there will be a regular sup- 

 ply through the winter. Each box will give two supplies. 

 Sicilian Broccoli is apt to throw out side shoots ; it is of easy 

 culture, and of very superior flavour. 



48. On destroying Caterpillars. By Mr. Alexander Witherspoon. 

 Well meant, but not sufficiently scientific to do good. 



49. Hints on transplanting Onions ; on Canker in Fruit Trees ; 

 Scottish Pears, S^c. By Col Spens of Craigsanquhar. Read
