stripping them so as to give the orchards the appearance of winter. Every 

 means to destroy them have been tried by the orchardists in the neiohbour- 

 bourhood of Saint Quentin, but without success. The writer earnestly 

 begs the assistance of the Society in this case, and hopes for advice from 

 some of their readers. — J. M.

Three hundred varieties of this genus are now on the lists, and the pro- 

 duce from seeds are every year increasing the number. The interests of 

 trade, and gratification of the amateur, call for some kind of arrangement 

 in naming this extensive family. The Messrs. Jacquin, therefore, have 

 divided their collection into eight principal groups, founded on their dif- 

 ference of colour, viz. white, rose, violet, crimson, flame, yellow, red, and 

 streaked. These are again divided into sections, as ivory-white, lily-white 

 deep rose, &c., or other terms indicating arbitrary properties. Their cata- 

 logue contains 269 varieties. — J. M.
