Mr. C. Spory. Black Hamburgh grapes (grown in a green-house, without 

 fire-heat), from R. Gibson, Esq., of Hackney. 



From the Garden of the Society. Plants. Buddlea madagascariensis, Mo- 

 nachanthus discolor, Alstroemerza acutifolia, Escallonk montevidensis, Rhodo- 

 chiton voliibilis, Scabiosa atropurpurea grandiflora, Tecoma capensis. — 

 Fruits. Pears: Conite de Lamy, "a very sugary variety;" Duchesse d'An- 

 gouleme, from a wall; beurre de Capiaumont, a most abundant bearer; 

 Marie-Louise, from a wall ; brov/n beurre, from a standard ; doyenne gris ; 

 doyenne blanc, from a wall; Seckle, from a wall; bon Chretien fondant; 

 Gansel's bergamot, from a standard ; beurre d'Angleterre [" so called by the 

 Parisians, by whom it is largely exposed for sale in the streets ; being a great 

 bearer, and succeeding as a standard. It is not equal in quality to the brown 

 beurre; nor is it common in England." — R. T.]; Due de Berri, Welbeck, 

 moorfowl egg. Apples : Bedfordshire foundling, HoUandbury, late carse of 

 Gowrie, no core.: all good kitchen apples. 



" The above are all from standards, except those marked otherwise. 

 The Duchesse d'Angouleme is equal in size to the specimens received from 

 Jersey. Still, although smaller, the Marie-Louise is the more valuable of the 

 two. The brown beurre and Gansel's bergamot are seldom grown on 

 standards ; but, when they do succeed, the flavour is very good. Some of 

 the kinds, as the Comte de Lamy and bon Chretien fondant, are better in 

 some seasons than the present." — R. T. 



Medals awarded. A Knightian medal was this day awarded to Messrs, 

 RoUisson, for their orchideous plants ; also to Mr. Glenny, for his dahlias ; 

 and a Banksian medal to Messrs. Chandler, for their seedling chrysanthemum.
