Had Cameron been a stranger without any references, however innocent 

 he might have been of the odious charge, it is pi'obable the circumstantial 

 evidence against him (as he just had 250 dollars and a 10 dollar note 

 beside, the remainder having been | necessarily laid out on stores, &c.) 

 would have been the loss of his little all, and perhaps imprisonment,* for 

 the difference of the bank notes would not have cleared him in the eye of 

 the law, because he might have exchanged them at an office in Boston for 

 notes on the New York bank. But an overruling Providence brought him 

 out of the trial, pure as gold from the crucible. — G. Thorburn and Son, 

 New York, Jan. 5\. 1829. 



We are happy to learn that our introduction has been of use to Mr. 

 Cameron. We always considered him a very worthy man, and it is but 

 justice to him to state that at the commencement of the Gardener's Maga- 

 zine, he contributed several papers which must have been written from the 

 highest motives ; because at that time, and for upwards of a year after- 

 wards, we were personally unknown to each other. — Cond. 



Fruit trees received from Mr. Prince of the Linnean Botanic Garden near 

 New York. — The following were intended for the late John Braddick, 

 Esq. ; and have been sent by Mrs. Braddick to Mrs. Young of the Epsom 

 nursery, who will propagate them for sale, and thus spread them through 

 the country. 



Downer'' s late Red Cherry. 



Remington White Heart Cherry. The latest of all American cherries, 

 flavour but middling, its late maturity being its principal merit. 



China Heart Cherry. A seedling of the Carnation, raised by Mr. Prince. 

 A very peculiar fruit, both in flavour and appearance. 



American White Heart Cherry. The largest and finest of the White 

 Hearts. 



Princes Duke Cherry. The largest of American cherries. 



Yellow Honey Cherry. Comes the same from seed, and much planted 

 along our roadsides.

Red Baldwin Apple. Highly esteemed. 



Bowne^s Imperial Russet Apple. A great acquisition, and quite new

Boston Epargne Pear. This is claimed by some as a European fruit, 

 which is a point undecided.

 able table fruit ,• a great bearer, and the fruit ripening by degrees during 

 five or six weeks. 



Bewne's Winter Rousselet Pear. Esteemed. 



Red Raspberry. The fine kind cultivated for the market, and excellent 

 for raspberry brandy. 



Molly's Italian Apricot. A seedling from a stone received from Italy.

 beautiful spikes of six different varieties of Indian corn. Three of them
